the case bitterly was shown by the
summoning today OF four new wit

John SEVERN, and Harry johnson.
In his testimony Devine told OF the
events leading up TO his arrest and
the shooting. disclaiming any wrong
doing which would have caused him TO
he taken into custody and pleading
ignorance Of knowledge that he had
been arrested. b.,
He told OF passing UP Third avenue

The arrest was wholly unexpected and

Devine had his hand in his pocket

element he fired once but was not

told after he had been locked in Jail
He recalled shooting once. but had no

solid fuel, gas for power and other pur-
poses, under the terms of a senate bill
which the house of representatives
adopted. An appropriation of $780,

object Of the investigation is to dem
onstrate the commercial value Of lig-
mite, which IL one-third Of the coal de-
posits Of the nation.
A vast volume Of the deposits Is on
government land, and Texas has ap-
proximately $1,000 100000 tons. The
official report says there Is bituminous
coal In Texas. but not sufficient to sup
ply the railroads, and In urging the
