After his discussion OF the repor-
OF the recommendations OF the prts-

he endorsed, he declared:

Economic Problem
This Is not m political question

Work Done
He enumerated accomplishments

and prison welfare.
He pointed out that the tax rate
for 1927 and 1928, totalling S1.3I
for the two years. was the lowest
state tax rate for any biennium IN
more than a decade" adding the
tax rate OF So cents for this year

Sidelights OF
Brady Trial
BY HUNTER OSBORNE
Herald Staff Writer

I1CtulO oAaAA "AAANA
USTIN, Jan. 2l.-Ia a dreary,
Ia drab setting overture was played
Yesterday for one OF Texas
greatest legal dramas.-'The Brady
Case"
No detective yam. no movie ever
promised more thrills than this ira
gedy from real life.
Judge John w. Brady. silver
tongued. silver haired jurist is on
trial for the death Of Lehlia High
smith, clever and attractive young
stenographer. She was found with
a mortal knife wound in her breast
on Saturday night, Nov. 80.
Henry w. Brooks, 24-year-old pro-
scouting attorney Of Travis County,
who looks like a high school boy, Is
demanding the death penalty.
He Is assisted by one lawyer, also
in his twenties bit more mature
looking, Hardy Hollis, assistant
county attorney. Another heavy
set. middle-aged and bald Roy c.
Archer, county attorney, completes
the prosecution staff.
-
On the other side are some Of the
greatest criminal lawyers in Texas.
All Of them are men past middle age
which serves to accentuate the
youthful appearance Of the Chief
Prosecutor.
Perhaps the most prominent Of
them Is Dayton Moses, famous for
his successful defense Of Rev. Frank
]. Norris in his trial Of murder, held
in this same old dark. dingy court
room. Moses is of average height,
very bald, crafty-looking and soft
spoken.
Judge L. A. Berry, a venerable
and distinguished appearing man, is
expected, along with Moses, TO con-
duct most Of the battle for Brady's
acquital. He also is quite bald. His
scant white locks r worn very long
after the fashion Of many Of Texas
best known jurists.
The presiding judge, j. %. Moore,
is a man about fifty-five years old
with greyish brown hair. He speaks
in a deep, rich voice, easily under
stood.
One NJ the most dramatic scenes
Of the many the trial will have was
enacted yesterday unnoticed by most
of the spectators.
Judge Brady SAT near the end OF
a long table. To the left were his
attorneys. On his left. close be-
side him. was Mrs. Brady. Most OF
the time his arm was slipped
through hers. Occasionally she
would release his hand TO brush
back an unruIy lock of silver grey

of the century struck again today,
with snow, ice and bitter wind as
It's weapo--s.
The latest storm. which sent sub

most costly, coming after a period
of sustained freezing weather last
ing from ten days TO three weeks.
The new cold wave, according 70
forecasters' will move in a south
east direction across the state from
the Panhandle. possibly reaching
the coast and the Lower Rio Gran

ern areas its coming was presaged
BY a drizzling rain and overcast
skies reported from Port Arthur
and Houston along the Gulf coast
and Austin in south central Texas.

!. EADERS GATHER
BY MOTHER JONES
Lifelong Friend of Labor Ex-
pected to Die Within
Few Hours.

Americas labor leaders gathered to-
day at the death bed of Mother Jones,
whose 100 years were dedicated to the
cause Of organized labor.
But Mother Jones, who Is slowly sink
ing at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Wal
ter Burgess, near Chillum, Nd, was
too weak to raise her eyelids and did
not recognize those whom in former
years she affectionately called my
boys"
Those who made the final pilgrimage
to the bedside of Mother Jones included
John Walker, former president Of the
United Mine Workers Of Chicago, and
Edward Knuckles, also, Of Chicago. For
mer Representative John L. Baer ac-
companied KnuckleS to the Burgess
home. Walker and Knuckles have
come from Chicago specifically to see
Mother Jones before she died and win
remain until the end, according to Mrs.
Burgess.
Mother Jones stopped breathing for
a while last night, and 1t was believed
the end had come. She revived, and
this morning was able to talk again.
Her physician, however, believes that
she can live only few more hours.
