first character witness against me-
had given me and my attorneys fair
warning what to expect from the So
called character witnesses. Here was
a man upon whom | never had laid
eyes before he took his seat in the
witness chair, and of whom had
never heard, and yet he swore SOL
EMMY to acts and doings with me
that were utterly and absolutely I'M
true and without the slightest foun-
dation.
MY lawyers decided that if they
cross examined these so-called char
acter witnesses against me, it would
merely be a way OF allowing these
hostile people TO tell all they had
heard about me in the way of vile
slander-noI what they knew, which
was nothing. My lawyers felt that
these witnesses had been loaded with
ISLANDERS about me just for the pur-
poses of cross examination They did
not want to give them the chance to
repeat malicious tales against me
which they had no opportunity to in
vestigate or answer"
AS to the terms prejudice" and
persecution" Frank asserts that the
prosecution of himself became perse-
cution from the moment of discovery
Of a negro brute" with knowledge of
the crime, admitting that he wrote
the notes found beside the dead girls
body, after steadily denying that he
could write at all, and finally, after
repeated visits by detectives and the
Solicitor" inventing a "preposterous
and unbelievable tale" putting the
crime on the man previously arrested
In order to save his own neck.
And as for prejudice" said Frank,
Il should say that the influence of
prejudice was evident from the mo-
ment that it was sought to convict
me, at all costs, after it was shown
that another had full opportunity to
commit the crime"

Texans Threaten to
"Kill the Greasers. "

LAREDO, TEXAS, MArcn 5.-Opeti
threats to kill the greasers" were
heard on the streets of Laredo to-day
following the discovery of PROOF that
Clemente Vergara, the American ranch
man, murdered by Mexican Federals,
had been brutally tortured before death
ended his sufTerings. The local au-
thorities fear that Mexicans living here
will be attacked tonight and citizens
Of the southern republic were warned
to keep off the streets.
Vergaras body, following its recovery
from a shallow grave in Hidalgo Gem
etery, lay on a slab in the local under
taking shop to-day, while Mrs. Vergara
wept over IT,
Until the body was brought here she
refused to give up hope that her hus-
band was still alive, and it was feared
that the shock will drive her insane.
The body of Vergara itself gave evil
dence to prove that he had been tor
tured by fire and beatings. This is the
evidence:
Fractured skull and bruises all over
the body;
Charred fingers on the left hand;
Two bullet holes in the head and one
in the neck.
That cowboys from Vergara's ranch
were the raiders who crossed the
border and recovered the body of their
employer was the general belief here.
Official denials from Captain John B.
Sanders set at rest rumors that Texas
Rangers had gone into Mexico.

In Mexico Both President Huerta
and General Carranza have made 1t

American invasion to the last ditch,

hostilities in the southern republic,
in order to present a united front
against the common enemy.

1t is probable that the officers of

resolutions similar to those presented
the First Baptist Church against the
locker clubs, following the sermon
Sunday by DR. A. r. Holderby, the
pastor attacking grand juries for not
enforcing the prohibition law in Geor-
gia.
DIR. Holderby's subject was "The
Prohibition Law in Eden" He stated
that the Georgia prohibition law was
Gods law and not mans, and urged
the church to enforce Il as such.

CHURCH WAR On
LIQUOR CLUBS
REOPENED
First Baptist, in Resolutions Up
for Adoption, Asks Members
to Quit Lockers,

With whispered hints of opposition
members of the First Baptist Church
Monday were discussing with the
keenest interest set of resolutions
proposing TO concretely set forth the
attitude OF the church toward locker
clubs.
The resolutions were read before a
church crowded to the doors, and an
equally large attendance is expected
at an adjourned meeting to be held
Wednesday in the lecture room, when
the congregation will decide definitely
upon the attitude it viii take. There
were yelled reports that leading mem
bers of the church would oppose any
formal action as outside Of the prov
ince OF the church.
The resolutions specifically state
hat 1T is incompatible with the prln-
ciples and purposes Of this church for
;ts members to be identified with or
CARNATIONS which derive revenue for
their maintenance from the sale OF al
oohorc beverages"
Complications Foreseen.
Just how many members are af-
fected by this is, Of course. problem
atical. It was pointed ont that If
members of certain prominent clubs
did not have to quit them under
this rule these clubs win virtually
have secured the churchs Q. K.
Making II plain that the Baptist
Church regards the use of alcoholic
liquors with disfavor, the resolutions
ask that any unlawful features of the
clubs be eliminated.
The resolutions were printed on the
back of the church calendar for the
week, these being distributed among
the members of the congregation.
Following are the resolutions:
Urge Members to Quit Clubs.
Whereas the character and
standing of a church are involved
in and determined by the con-
duct of its own members; and
Whereas voluntary membership
In an organization places upon
one the moral responsibility for
the purposes and conduct OF the
same; and
Whereas this church regards
the traffic in and the use Of alco-
holie beverages, whether with or
without the sanction of the law,
posed to the progress of the gos
pei of Christ;
Therefore be is resolved. ID
That It is incompatible with the
principles and purposes OF this
church for its members TO be
identified with organizations
which derive revenue for their
maintenance from the sale Of al
coholic beverages.
90 That, recognizing the place
and value of social and CONNER
cial clubs in the life OF the city.
this church urges upon those OF
its members who are connected
with such clubs the duty and OPP
portunity OF using their influence
therein toward eliminating from
the same any unlawful features
that may obtain.
go That in the event of the
failure OF such efforts to bring
about these needed reforms in
the club life of the city the men,
bers of this church should
promptly sever all connection with
such clubs.
