in his argument the doubt as to
the prisoners guilt expressed bv
the late Judge Roan, who presid-

the findings of the lower court
and the dissenting opinion of
Justices Holmes and Hughes of
the United States supreme court
when that tribunal denied
Frank’s appeal for a writ of ha-

just before his death in which it
was said he reiterated his doubt
as to Frank’s guilt and urged ex-
ecutive clemenpy. Delegations
from several cities in Georgia
and Chicago and elsewhere also
were here prepared to offer ar-
guments in Frank's behalf.

Austin, Tex., May
Darlington, 94 years old, to
only person now livin
the sounds of the guns at
battle of San Jacinto, seventy-
years ago, on April 21. : v
Mr. Darlington was one of a
band of Texans who met
feated the Mexicans under
Anna but was prevented
fighting in the battle
being detailed to look
supply train.
Mr. Darlington came from
ginia to Austin in 1839,
that Austin was laid off as a
town, and the first cmpitol was
built. He married Mias
Love in 1843, and has fi
ters and one son living. He js
an honorary member of the
Daughters of the Republic, and
still takes an interest in the af-
fairs of the state. His chief de-
light seems to be recalling his life
in Texas in the early 40's.
In the battle of P|um Creek to
1840, Mr. Darlington at the bead
of about two hundred citizens,
whipped the Co:njnche indians
so that -they gave me early set-
tlers no more trouble. He was
also engaged in a battle at Plum
Creek in 1842.
Mr. Darlington helped to plane 4L
the logs for the first capitol dur^
ing Lamar’s administration, and ^
also to build the fort around the
capitol, to protect it from the In-
dians on one side and the Mexi-
cans on the other. The capitol
was then used not only for the
sessions of Congress, but as a
church, school, opera boom,
dance hall - in fact for all publle
gatherings.
