Resolution Offered at

Fifty five years ago, when the smoke

Abraham Lincoln, and
Whereas;
through all the years since then, the
Republican party and the Democratic

in some States, set upon by blood

lynched, burned, and hanged upon the

Whereas;
The President, and Attorney General

compel 100000 laboring men to

Whereas;
The laboring people of the Nation

we call upon all members of the La

That we recommend the fullflment of

SPANIEL HABEAS CORPUS
PROCEEDINGS DISMISSED
IN COURT OF APPEALS

Austin, Texas, May 15.-Habeas
corpus proceedings filed by Harry j.
Spaniel, under sentence of five years
Imprisonment for killing Major NJ. c.
Butler, U. s. A., at Alpine, Texas, three
years ago, were dismissed by the Texas
court of criminal appeals today and the
case remained TO the district court of
Coleman county. Mrs. H. j. Spaniel,
wife of defendant was shot and killed
at the time Major Butler met death
The shooting was the outgrowth OF
alleged improper attentions paid Mrs.
Spaniel by the army officer and the
case attracted wide attention.
Spaniel, who was acquitted of killing
his wife at his first trial in Tom
Green county, was convicted of the
murder of Major Butler in Coleman
county where the case had been taken
on change of venue. The defendant ad-
mitted the killing of Butler but claimed
the death of his wife was an accident.
In the habeas corpus proceedings,
Spaniel contended that both the killings
were one occurance and that he should
not have been tried twice. In dismiss
ing the proceedings, the court of
criminal appeals held that any action
taken upon the question would be a
trespass upon the jurisdiction of the
district court of Coleman county.
