Though the election Of the ninth

Place Captured After Siege Last
ing for Ten Days-Many
Persons Killed.

Ell PASO, TEXAS, Oct. 25.-The
city of Monterey, capital Of the State
of Nuevo Leon and one Of the most
important strategic points in Mex
leo, has been captured by the rebels
after a ten days siege. The city fell
was received from Monterey until to-
day.
A terrific fire from machine guns
was poured into the city for "a hours,
according to reports, and many per-
sons were killed and wounded, while
damage to the extent Of several mil.
lion dollars has been done to property.
The rebel force attacking Monterey
was commanded by Pablo Gonzales
and numbered 1000. Colonel Contras
formed a flank with 1000 veterans of
Tcrreon' and Colonel Coss had 500
we'll armed troops. The Federal gar
rison numbered about 1000. The
rebels are reported to have had a
number of machine guns.
According to the report received
here Generals Mas and Telles, with
their joint forces, were defeated as
they hurried to the assistance OF
Monterrey.
The first skirmish occurred at
Morales, a short distance from the
citv of Monterey on October Is. The
rebels were victorious in this and the
insurgent forces then divided, one
body rushing to Monterey from THE
west, another from the east and one
band got into the city by using the
line of the international railway. AT
the same time another rebel division
captured San Luis, suburb, and
controlled one of the main lines into
the city.

las result we will be able to Sc
cure for the bulletin which this de-
partment is preparing on the boil
weevil the report of the United States
Department of Agriculture, which will
outline how far the boil weevil has
travelled during 1913.
With the early maturing varieties
of cotton seed, which are now being
perfected in Georgia, and the resis-
tent varieties, which fight off the
black root and anthraxous and sim
liar diseases, we believe that the
Georgia cotton planter will be in the
best possible position to cope with
the boil weevil next year"

FARMER SLAYER
DOOMED BY JURY
His Lawyer Makes Preparations to
Fight for New TriaI-Says
Client Won't Hang.

, GRAYS, Oct. 25.--With Nick Will
burn condemned to die December IL
for the murder of his employer, James
King, wealthy Jones County farm
er, interest in Middle Georgia's IA
nous murder case shifted to-day to
Kings wife, Mrs. Katherine King,
who will be placed on trial before
Judge j. B. Park Monday morning,
charged with completely in the
crime.
1t is thought that the trial of Mrs.
King will attract more attention than
did that Of Wilburn, owing to the
fact that she Is a. woman and the
trial will be the first ever held in
Jones County in which white wom-
an is accused Of murder.
Mrs. King steadfastly maintai as
her innocence Of any part in the death
of her husband, and is confident that
she will be acquitted, despite the
confession Of Wilburn that she told
him to kill King.
Mrs. Kings trial is not expected to
be long one. Her leading counsel,
w. d. McNeill announced late Satur-
day afternoon that few witnesses will
testify in her behalf but that these
few will produce important testi-
mony.
Widow to Tell Story.
II propose now to put Mrs. King
on the stand and let her tell the jury
the truth and the whole truth about
this case" said Mr.. Mcneil. IT do
not believe there Is a man in Georgia
who would convict her If he believes
what she says, and we are prepared
to support her statements by the tes..
timony of other witnesses"
Mrs King, though she has retained
her courage and good spirits during
the week of Wilburn's trial, broke
down and cried when she heard the
verdict.
81 just can't think what it means
she said.
She refused to see anyone, and
sobbed herself to sleep in her CELL
She awole several hours later and
held long conference with her at
torneys, the nature of which was no.
divulged.
Mrs King has been a prisoner in
the Jones County Jail since her ar
rest last December. She has issued
several statements repudiating Will
burn and branding his statements
that he had killed her husband at her
request as false. She declares that
Wilburn alone is responsible for the
crime, and insists that she became
intimate with him only because he
eXerted a strange power over her
and forced her to do his bidding
against her will
Fight to Save WiIburn.
Declaring that Wilburn would new
er go to the gallows unless he was
accompanied by Mrs. King, Attorney
John r. Cooper has already started
his battle to save his client from the
hangman's moose.
A motion for new trial has been
set for hearing before Judge Park
on December 6, and if the motion is
refused, Mr.. Cooper will carry his
fieht to the Supreme Court, and per-
haps ultimately to the Prison Com
mission and the Governor. Mr.. Coop
er stated that in arguing the mo-
ton for a new trial he will contend
that Wilbur was convicted on cir
cumstantial evidence, and for that
reason should not suffer the death
penalty.
Wilburn has been taken to the
Bib County Jail at Macon, where he
has been kept since last December
for fear Of mob violence. He prob
ably will be brought back here next
week to testify against Mrs. King.
