G. C. Harris, 35. Metropolitan
Hotel, was recovering Saturday
from a bullet wound in his left
arm received when his wife fired
at him upon finding him with
another woman Friday night at
the Ideal Hotel, 1304% Houston
Street.
After questioning Mrs. Harris,
Assistant District Attorney Mori-
son said no charges would be filed
against her. Harris, who was be-
ing treated in St. Joseph’s Infirm-
ary, said he did not care to pre-
fer charges against his wife.
Upon Harris’ failure to return
to the Metropolitan Hotel where
they were staying, Mrs. Harris
went to the Ideal Hotel in search
of her husband, she told Morison.
She related how she knocked on
the door and a woman answered,
saying Harris was not there.
However, Mrs. Harris saw her
husband's clothes, recognised
them, and pushed the door open
to find her husband, Morison said.
Mrs. Harris said the other wom-
an gave the name of Audrey
Lewis, according to Morison.
Mrs. Harris saw her husband
come out of the hotel earlier in
the afternoon, and was prompted
to go there when he failed to come
home, according to her story.
The clothes, which were said to
belong to Harris, were held at the
District Attorney's office for him.
Police found a small .38 caliber
"Saturday night special" revolver
at the scene of the shooting.

Attempt by the Santa Fe to
build a new main line from Post
to Fort Worth is seen as the next
development in the West Texas
rail scrimmage by local transpor-
tation experts.
If this is done, and ICC sees
fit to smile upon the project, Fort
Worth may get its long-sought
plains railroad, after all.
Preliminary surveys already
have been made, it is said.
New Main Line.
A new main line connecting
Fort Worth, thru Saginaw, with
the Santa Fe at Post, in Garza
County, at the foot of the Cap-
rock, would cut 220 miles off the
road's present roundabout route
thru Temple, rail students point
out.
And with the FW&DC exten-
sions into the Santa Fe’s West
Texas domains, approved by the
ICC Friday, built, it will be al-
most imperative for the latter
road to build the Post-Fort Worth
link if it is to hold its tonnage
Into St. Louis and Memphis, rail-
road authorities say.
The Santa Fe now operates 859
miles of track in the heart of the
Caprek country, which the new
FW&DC branches will tap.
A new line from Post to Fort
Worth would connect Fort Worth
with the great transce aunsntal
line at Farwell, on the Texas-New
Mexico border. Thus would the
Santa Fe have two great forks,
one to the Great Lakes and the
other to the Gulf, it is pointed
out.
Loses Branch Line Fight.
Not only would the new line
protect the Santa Fe's present
West Texas interests, but it would
traverse two counties—Kent and
Throckmorton—now wholly with-
out rail facilities. Agricultural
potentialities of both counties is
said to be rich.
Santa Fe lost, along with the
TP&G, a fight for two branch
lines from Plainview. That it will
not content Itself with the track-
age it now has, with the FW&DC
jutting into its territory, is said to
be certain.
It would require approximately
350 miles of new track to connect
Post with Fort Worth. This could
be built for about >7,000,000, it is
said. Costliest West Texas rail
construction is met in climbing
the steep grade of the plateau
known as the Caprock. Santa Fe

Fort Worth will profit. It will
profit from the Fort Worth &
Denver project. It will profit
more from the TP&G eventually,
or any other road that shoots
across the untouched areas of
Throckmorton and Shackelford
Counties, with Fort Worth as its
terminal.
Action to be taken by the
TP&G on the rejection of its ap-
plication for permit to build from
Fort Worth to Tucumcari, N. M.,
will be decided at a meeting of
the officers and directors of the
proposed road with directors of
the Gulf, Texas & Western Rail-
road, within a few days.
This was the announcement of
Col. C. H. Powell, TP&G presi-
dent, Saturday in a telegram to
Ireland Hampton, field director of
the TP&G Administration Corp,
here. Col. Powell, with C. R.
Young and E. J. Noonan, chief
counsel and engineer respectively
of the TP&G, is/in Chicago.
The TP&G can either drop its
fight or file a motion for a rehear-
ing within approximately 20 days,
Hampton said. If the new hearing
is denied, recourse can be taken
in the Federal courts, he said.
Application of the TP&G was
turned down by the ICC in favor
of applications of the Fort Worth
& Denver and Frisco Railroads.
4 The ICC ruling said the
FW&DC must begin in January,
and finish in a couple of years.
Clarity indicates 18 months
ought to see the work finished,
barring unforeseen difficulties.

COURT ROOM, SOMERVILLE,
N. J., Nov. 20.—Construction of
an alibi defense of exceeding elab-
orateness of detail, began in the
Hall-Mills murder trial today.
Henry Stevens, who is on trial
with Frances Stevens Hall and
Willie Stevens, for the murder of
Rev. Edward W. Hall and Mrs.
Eleanor Mills, was the major wit-
ness.
With a remarkable display of
good memory he not only denied
that he was in or near New Bruns-
wick, N. J., at the time the min-
ister and his choir singer sweet-
heart were killed, but told what
he had done on the day preceding
the murder, the night of the kill-
ing, and the day atter.
He had fished most of the time,
but he also told how he had visit-
ed a fishing tackle store; called
on a friend in Lavallette, N. J.,
near which place he lived; had
given bluefish to various persons;
dined with others in their homes;
tended the furnace, and looked at
his boat. He even recalled the
weight of the fish he caught.
He denied he ever had heard
of Mrs. Mills until he learned she
had been killed. He was fishing
when he learned of the murder,
two days after it had taken place,
and It was only then- that he hur-
ried to New Brunswick.
Stevens said that he had
driven frequently from Lavallette,
where he lived to New Brunswick;
that he often visited his sister
and Dr. Hall and that their re-
lations were pleasant.
The plaster bust of a woman
which previously had been intro-
duced to illustrate testimony of
an autopsy expert was placed be-
fore Stevens, who was asked by
Snow over the extreme north-
ern part and the Panhandle of
Texas and freezing weather in
Fort Worth is the forecast by the
Weather Bureau for Saturday
night.
Heavy snows which have been
reported in the Rocky Mountain
region will reach down Into Texas
before Sunday. No snow is ex-
pected as far south as Fort
Worth.
It will be colder thruout the
state Saturday night, according to
the prediction of U. S. Weather
Observer D. S. Landis.
To Be Third Freeze
The cold weather will continue
Sunday, and possibly Into next
week.
The official forecast for tonight
and Sunday is partly cloudy to
cloudy weather, colder tonight and
freezing; colder Sunday.
Tonight will be the third freeze
of the year in Fort Worth and
residents are advised to take pre-
cautions against freezing.

AUSTINe Nov. 20. — Proclama-'
tions granting full pardons to Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Collier, of Wich-
ita Falls, have been written, It
was learned shortly after Mrs.
Hattie Robertson had protested
to the Governor against clemency.
Mrs. Robertson is the mother of
Elzle Robertson, 19, shot to death
on a Wichita Falls street Feb. 14,
1925. Former Mayor Collier and
his wife, of Wichita Falls, were
convicted in connection with the
slaying.
Because of the absence from
Austin today of Mrs. Emma Grigs-
by Meharg, Secretary of State,
and her chief clerk, Judge D. A.
Gregg, there was no one in the
State Department authorized to
sign the proclamations attesting
the signature of the Governor.
Mrs. Meharg is in Italy, Texas, and
Judge Gregg is on a business trip
to San Antonio. Efforts, it was
said, are to be made to have
Judge Gregg return to Austin this
afternoon and sign the papers.
Tantamount to Pardon.
The proclamations are tanta-
mount to granting the pardons,
there remaining only the red tape
proceedings to make the effective.
Mrs. Robertson had heard re-
ports that applications had been
made to the Governor for pardon . .
of the Colliers and that they were
under consideration. She arrived,
in Austin early Saturday from,
her home at Wichita Falls, and,
unaccompanied, she appeared in
the Governor’s office about 10
o'clock.
Attired in deepest mourning
and eyes tear-stained, Mrs. Pob-
ertson attracted immediate atten-
tion of all in the Governor’s re-
ception room. Many of those as-
sembled there were awaiting op-
portunity to see the Governor to
urge the granting of pardons of
friends. Mrs. Robertson was the
only visitor who came to enter
protest against executive clem-
ency.
20-Minute Conference.
She merely desired that the
death of her son be avenged; that
the Governor refrain from any act
that would interfere with the law
taking Its course as decreed by
the courts of Texas.
For 20 minutes Governor Fer-
guson heard the mother’s appeal
that clemency be not extended to
the Colliers, and at its conclusion
the little woman, apparently 45
years old, retired thru a side doos
to the executive offices and left
the Capitol to return immediately
to Wichita Falls.
Governor Ferguson made no
announcement following the visit
of Mrs. Robertson as to what
would be her action on the pardon

A rather hazy character, who,

Banquet Spread
Dr. A. R. Ponton, chief exam-
iner, went over every novice as
he reported. Some were tagged
with red cardboards, others with
blue. Wearers of the ruddy paste-
boards were to get the “rough
stuff,” Shriners explained. All
were to get their "medicine" at
the Mosque, 2:45 p. m.

GEORGE WEST, Nov. 20.—
When Indian Smith, Mathis, tes-
tifies as to the motive of the
slaying of Dr. J. A. Ramsey,
Mathis, the state will finish pre-

Leahy, charged with murder in
connection with the physician's
death.
That was the indication this
afternoon. Smith, the state has
indicated, will be able to deline-
ate the reason for the killing.
In this morning’s session, Light

helped solve the killing, and Mrs.

old Leahy ranch which the doc-
