ACOUlTS MRS. sTRtIGHT
Woman Charged With Murder Of
Her Husband Given Free
dom by Jury

Gatesville, Tex, Feb. II,
MIS-. Minnie Lee Streight, charg-
ed with the murder of her hus-
band. after having been pre-
viously tried and given a life
sentance. was this morning given
her freedom by a jury in the dis
trict court.
The verdict for acquital came
with the first ballot after a trial
lasting nine days. Before the
virdlct was read this morning
the Judge warned the spectators
who crowded the room against
any demonstrations.
The case went to the Jury this
morning. Mrs. Streight's plea
was self-defense. She declared
that she shot her husband be-
cause he attacted her. The
shooting occurred at the Streight
home in McGregor.
r. f. Streight was editor Of
the McGregor Mirror. Mrs.
Streight was convicted in Waco
on a Saturday of 1910, was
cleared today, Saturday, and the
killing was done on Saturday.
The first trial was held in Waco
in November. 1910, when she
was given life term after a
trial lasting several weeks and
full of sensational testimony.
The State tried TO prove that
Streight was murdered while
asleep in bed. and the defense
that Streight was trying to Kill
his wife. Judge Richard Mum
roe at habeas corpus hearing
refused the defendent bond.
but presiding Justice ". l..
Davidson of the Court Of Crimi-

and granted bond in the sum
of $40, 600, whereupon the peo-
pie in McGregor hanged him in
effigy. The Court of Criminal
Appeals granted a new trial after
the first conviction and the case
was transferred to Coryell
county.

MORE BACKBONE NEEDED


The world needs more back
bone. Merchants and business
men. who ought to be leaders,
frequently dodge the issue on
the premises that it might in
lure business. 1t might lose a
customer or cause some one to
kick. A candidate for public
office takes the shadow of the
hedge and he will not come out
on this or that, or will not say
what he thinks for fear he might
lose a vote. Some one might
not like it. and so it goes. Now
this is the worst mistake that
mortal man ever made. The
people are intelligent, fair and
trustworthy. They want to
know what a man thinks who
solicits their patronage and
support. They want to know
his feelings and sentiments
They do not expect anything
superhuman in man, but do ex-
pect principle and appreciate
stability and candor. | respect a
man who differs with me, and
| admire a man who maintains
his position against me, but
somehow lose my admiration
for a man who always agrees
with me and always waits for
my views and then comedies
with me. | learn to distrust his
judgment, to doubt his sincerity,
and to discount his opinions.
The world admires backbone.
The world loves an honest man,
and cares not if he sometimes
errs. Men are born to differ.
If it be an honest difference and
be maintained fairly it is an
admirable virtue. Business men
who succeeded should be leaders
in the community. They should
speak out and express their
views for the benefit of those
who have confidence in their
judgment. Candidates for pub
lie office should speak out in an
honest, straightforward manner.
On the other hand the people
should and would be fair with
mans frailties and foibles and
weigh well his good points and
redeeming features, then deal
Justly. Above all things appre-
ciate fair dealing. A man who
is honest in all he does. in all he
says, and in all his movements
wins favor with the world over
many short comings. Mineola
