Testimony in the trial Of the Rev.
w. L. Duke on charges Of murder
ing J. A. Cox near here Feb. 6
was completed last night, and argu-
ments by attorneys were first on
the court calendar today.
Rev. luke contended in his tes-
timony that he killed Cox through
fear Cox would lsill him and plead
ed self defense. At the session
last night, the state introduced evi-
dence in an attempt to show the
Baptist circuit preacher bought
buckshot shells with the intention
Of using them. for definite pur-
pose. The defendant denied this
testimony.
Mrs. Cox. widow OF j. A. Cox,
testified briefly, and showed no
emotion as she identified the bull
let riddled. blood and grease soaked
hat her husband wore when shot
Mrs. Duke. the preachers wife,
a few hours earlier testified Cox
had Rugged and kissed her and
said. Here's where I leave you.
Immediately before the fatal shot
was fired. She told OF three years
of intimate relations with Cox. and
said she had no idea. before the
shooting. that her husband slls-
pected anything wrong.
The Duke and Cox families were
neighbors. and each had several
children. Among them was Elmo
Duke, the preachers l7-year-old
son who was with his father the
evening of the shooting up TO
few minutes before the killing. he
told OF events leading to the trag-
edy.
Curiosity and thrill seekers
swarmed the court room. and

-letter 10 members OF the COIIlLliS-
sioners court.
The letter was released for pub
lication today.
Judge Dancy suggests that war
rants be issued to finance the pro-
jects which ii Is estimated would
cost about S5O0000. and that these
warrants eventually be refinanced
out of a county wide bond issue to
be voted under the i5 cent tax stat
ute or by special act Of the legisla-
ture.
Under the plan proposed by Judge
Dancy the warrants would be held
off the open market and thus would
not act to depress the price of Cam
eron county securities. He explains
his desire to issue bonds by stating
that a five cent bond will bring q
better price on the market than q
six per cent warrant.
Judge Dancy proposes that the
gaps in the Military highway be
closed on the countrywide basis and
that the Rangerville to Harlingen
and the Ponit Isabel projects be IL
nanced out of the same warrant is

UNFAIR HIKES
IN MANY Lines
ARECHARCED
Agriculture to Suffer
AS Result of Manu-
facturers Victory,
Congressman Ayers
Especial to The Heraldl


WASHINGTON, May 8.-Stating
tina contrary to the advice of Presi-
dent Hoover, the republican MEM
bers of the ways and means COM
mittee had materially increased
the rates on manufactured articles,
CONGRESSMAN John N. Garner to-
day issued a statement In which
he asserted that the tariff bill,
reported Tuesday. Disseminated
against agriculture.
"I was delighted to see the in
crease in duties allowed on wool,
mohair. canned and frozen meats,
as well as tomatoes. green beans,
onions and grapefruit" Garner
said.
However, the onion duty should
have been made IL instead OF
"a cents per pound. We al
rDady have a duty of 1-2 cents
on onions, and the only increase
provided is IA cent per pound.
"The republicans have failed 70
provide a duty on many agricul-
tural, horticultural and dairy pro-
ducts. but have not failed to place
a burden upon agriculture by pro-
viding a heavy duty on all kinds
Of building materials as well as
household necessities.
The duty on cement will cost the
irrigation and building interests OF
southwest Texas hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars. and the increase
in the cost of boxes and other
containers for fruit and vegetables
will be heavy. "On the whole. ag-
riculture has not been treated just
ly as was expected.
Against Hoover's advice. manu-
factured products have been in
creased materially. In fact. the
rates have been made prohibitive
in many Of the schedules. This Is
indefensible, and levies heavy
tribute on the consuming public,
principally farmers and stockmen
who were supposed to receive ma
terial benefits from this proposed
legislation"

BATTLELOOMS
ON BAY ROAD
Route Opened to Fishermen
By Order of Kent; Free
Route Rejected

RAYMONDVILLE, May 8. - A
hattie which will be carried to the
supreme court if necessary Is IN
nrospect in the disagreement over
the location of the road In Willacy
county to Red Fish bay. according
to parties interested in the matter.
The road. recently closed by rep
resentatives of the King estate,
whose property Is traversed. mas
been opened to two fishermen hF-
ing at Red Fish bay by an inlunc-
ton issued by Judge A. M. Kent IN
civil district court at BROWNSVILLE.
The fishermen. w. G. Carnes ana
M. B. Sheriff., set forth in their pc
tition for an injunction that they
reside at Red Fish bay on land
owned by the United States gov
ernment. and that they -gere resid-
ing there before the road through
King ranch to the bay was closed
by the owners.
The petition further sets forth
that the two men own 81 900 worth
of property. consisting OF their
dwelling. boats and fishing tackle.
and that the only market for their
fish is Raymondville. which can be
reached only over the road in ques-
ton. They also contend that they
buy all their supplies in Raymond
vile. and secure their supply OF
drinking water at that place. In
case the petition Ind not been
granted. thev contended. irreparabie
damage would have resulted TO them
and possibly death.
Free Route Rejected
After the warrant had been serv-
ed by a Kennedy county official. the
wire strung across the road was re-
moved by a ranch employe. The
two fishermen were required to
make bond in the sum of $500 each.
The injunction opens the road only
to the two fishermen In question.
The lanG which they claim Is Unit
ed States government property Is a
strip about 80 feet wide along the
bav. extending from the water to
high tide mark. The whole matter
will later be fought out IN the
courts.
The closing Of the Red Fish ba-
road was the result of an offer Of
the owners OF the King ranch to
grant Willacy county free OF charge
