ALVARADO BROTHERS
WILL BE TRIED FOR
MURDER ON BORDER
Prospective Juror Says He
Believes in Neither Con-
viction Nor Punishment.

A peculiar legal question is expected
to confront Judge W. S. Anderson OF
the 37th District Court when he takes
up the trial of Lorenzo and Augustine
Alvarado, charged by indictment with
the murder of Eligio Pena, next We'd
nesday. Trial Of these two brothers,
who were indicted by a Bexar county
grand jury was set for Monday but
continued until Wednesday.
The shooting of Pena occurred in
Hidalgo county on November 20, 1921.
Pena Yves brought to San Antonio for
treatment and died here. Under the
law indictments can be returned either
in the county in which shooting oc-
ours or in the county in which the vic
tim dies. In this case indictments
were returned in Bexar county.
1t has not been determined, however,
whether indictments also may have
been returned in Hidalgo county. Upon
this question rests the decision as TO
whether Judge Anderson can assume
jurisdiction in the case. 1t may be,
it was pointed out, that indictments
were returned in Hidalgo county. If
such be the case. it is possible that the
court there would assume jurisdiction,

busting the jurisdiction

automatically oust,ng the jurisdiction
of the district court here.
Although the indictment alleges that
Pena was shot on November 70, 1921,
the indictment was not returned until
April of 1922. IL the 9th District
Court has jurisdiction, Judge Ander-
son indicated, the case will be brought
to speedy trial.
Another unusual incident arose in
connection with this case. One man
who had been summoned as a special
venireman appeared before Judge An
derson Saturday and requested that he
be excused from jury service. Upon in
quiry from Judge Anderson as to his
reasons, the man stated that he would
not be accepted il it came to an exami-
nation into his qualifications.
The reason given Judge Anderson BY
the prospective juror was that he did
not believe in convictions or punish
ment. Close questioning failed to
shake the mans statement and Judge
Anderson finally was convinced that
the man was sincere In his declara-
tons.
During my 40 years of service"
Judge Anderson remarked afterward,
"this is the third man whom / have
encountered who entertained such con-
yictions."

Luxor, Egypt, Feb. "a chariot Of
gold, studded with priceless jewels, that
was one Of the personal conveyances of
King Tutenkhamen, was removed from
the tomb of the ancient Pharaoh by
excavators.
Crowds OF American and European
tourists, who braved a rainstorm in the
desert that now overspreads what was
once the worlds mightiest ~mpire, were
amazed at the splendors Of the vehicle.
The body Of the chariot was made of
sheet gold, deliberately and artistically
carved and bejewelled. The magnifi-
cent top bar upon which the reins
rested was carved so as not to mar its
beauty. Stole Egyptian laborers, who
aided the scientists and Psychologists
in its removed, gazed with awe upon
the relic Of the glory that was their
ancestors.
( Step by step the excavators are ap-
preaching the inner chamber of the
tomb. The body of Tutenkhamen and
possibly that of his queen, with their
most priceless possessions of 5000 years
ago, are expected to, be found there.

Gen. Wheeler's Name Nominated For Hall
 Of Fame

An increasing measure of support is developing for the movement to place Gen. Joe wheeler's statue In of Fame at Washington. Friends and continue to rally to the Wheeler standard. Endorsements are coming in from Confederate Veterans camps, Sons of Confederate Veterans, United Daughters of Confederacy and Amer ican Legion posts in all parts of the state.
 It Is understood that a bill placing General Wheeler's name in nomina- tion for the Hall of Fame will be introduced at the forthcoming session of the Alabama legislature. Friends of Fighting Joe Wheeler" are at work, both in their organizations and as individuals, to insure the success committees have bee:. appointed to bring the matter to the attention of members of the legislature.
 Friends of the movement point out that Wheeler's brilliant war record, both as the dashing cavalry com mander of Confederate days, and later as a major generl, U. s. A., at San battlefields, should not lead the cit izens of Alabama into overlooking his equally fine achievements as a states man and @ consistent friend of the state and nation.
 During his congressional years Gen. eral Wheeler introduced and obtained the adoption of many important meas ures, aside from more than 100 bills of q local nature for the benefit of his constituents. His fight against tho Force bill. and his later efforts es harmonizer between the north and south were of a substantial bene- fit to the country.
 Among tho legislative enactments to his credit were pension bills Tor veterans of the Mexican and Indian wars. He obtained an appropriation of $2oQ,000 for the improvement of the Tennessee river, and due to his efforts, the tax on leaf tobacco was abolished
 General wheeler's three-fold claim to recognition as one of the outstand- ing figures in the history of the na- ton will be urged at the legislature His record as a soldier. one of the most unique in the history of any country, his services as a statesman and conciliator, and his long stand ing and faithful friendship for Ala bama and her interests will be stressed.
