DUBLIN, June 20. (UP)—Loren-
zo Cardinal Lauri, legate of Popo
Plus XI, arrived today to open the
31st International Eucharistic Con-
gress, and was greeted by hun-
dreds of thousands of Catholics and
a royal salute of 21 guns.
A squadron of airplanes arrang-
ed in the form of a cross met the
the special steamer carrying the
cardinal, his attendants and high
dignitaries of the Holy See. Pil-
grims from the United States and

welcome.
Flying the Papal flag and bright
banners, the ship sailed into Dun
Laochaire Harbor. There the
Archbishop of Dublin, high govern-
ment officials and Irish laymen ex-
tended a formal welcome.
Behind them, on the road lead-
ing from Kingstown and in Dublin,
stood the vast throng of pilgrims
drawn from the ends of the earth
for the church’s greatest assemb-
lage, held once every two years.
Although the congress does not
formally open until Wednesday, the
arrival of the Papal delegate mark-

was taken charged with murder.
The mother had been a widow for
17 years.
“I decided four or five months
ago that as soon as I was 84, she
must not linger much longer,” said
the young man.
He described how he took chlo-
roform from a book case in the
home where he lived alone with
his mother and attempted to end
her life with it.
When she began to scream he
said he wrapped a pair of pajamas
around her,neck and clubbed her
with a padded footstool.
“I told her to expire quietly in
two or three hours but she began
screaming,” said Lewis. “I was
nervous and exhausted.”
Policeman J. B. Vicker and J.
M. Ferguson, first to. arrive at
the Lewis home, said jtt)ey found
Lewis holding a chlorofdrm sponge
to his mother’s nose. Dr. G. A.
Burgess blamed the chloroform
for the woman’s death. Others
said blows from the stool were re-
sponsible.
Brooding over the fact that his
aged mother stood between him and
the estate of Judge Lewis was the
immediate cause of the tragedy
some inves t i g a t o r s believed.
Though named administrator of
the estate, Mrs. Lewis several
years ago placed herself and the
property under the guardianship
of a local bank.
Judge Lewis died March 10,
1915. Tom Lewis, a brother, and
a sister, Miss Minerva Lewis, live
at San Antonio. Family home
was at Gonzales.

Mr. Reynolds told Sheriff W.
L. McMurray and Deputy Sheriff
J. W. Green that at about 3:3(1
o’clock a one-seated car drove un
in front of the filling station sec.
tion of the Beacon Refinery anJ
that he presumed he wanted tp
buy gas.
As he neared the car and inquir-
ed what he "could do for” them,
one of them pushed a pistol In
his side and forced him into tpc
automobile.

“The other went into the

saying he ‘could not get it.’ ( nc
of the other bandits said, ‘you s
here, I can get it.’ As ho star ed
in, the glare from the headlif hts
of an automobile apparci tly
frightened the robbers and t ley
decided to drive down the road.
Thugs Drive Away
“They forced me to remain' in
the car while they drove a short
distance before they turned
around and went back to the ire-
finery. One of the thugs went in
the office and returned a few
minutes later, saying he had got-
ten what he was looking for.
“They kept the handkerchief
tied around my eyes from the time
they first forced me in the car,
and I could not get a good look
at any of then.
“After they had gotten the
money, they drove about six miles
north and there let me out, warn-
ing me not to report the robbery
until I was able to return to the
office,” he said.
Mr. Reynolds then hailed a
passing truck which took him back
to the refinery where he commun-
icated with officials o* the corpor-
ation, who immediately got in
touch with Sheriff McMurray. Au-
thorities at nearby cities were
asked to be on lookout for the
bandits but the description of the
robbers and their car was so im-
possible that little hope for suo-
cesa from this source was enter-
tained.

tested and said ‘I don’t believe you
are a federal officer.’
"Then I jerked away and ran be-
hind the counter for a pistol.
“They shouted ‘drop that gun
and put up your hands.’ I put
down the gun and put up my
bands. Then one of them shot me in
the hand.”
District Attorney William Mc-
Craw representing the State asked
her to repeat the statement.
Mrs. McGlothlin said her hus-
band sought a shotgun on the oth-
er side of the room.
"When he reached for the gun
one of them shot him,” she testi-
fied. “The gun went off after he
was shot and he never had a
chance to get it level.”

She denied that she had seen any
pistol In the hands of Mrs. Cox or
fore the shooting started and that
Heaton had scuffled with Mrs. Cox
for Its possession.
Her entire action in the case was
because she did not believe Hea-
ton's statement that he was a Fed-

my husband thought they were hi-
jackers and I was going to help ■
him protect our store,” she gave
as the reason for running behind
the counter and getting her pistol.
She denied repeatedly that she had

Although the recently author-
feed two-cent tax on each check
issued through the country’s banks
goes into effect tomorrow morn-
ing, this does not necessarily mean
that a depositor in a bank will
have to pay this tax In order to
withdraw funds.
At the Citizens National Bank
and the First National Bank print-
ed receipts have been prepared,
which will enable patrons of these
institutions to eome to the banks
and withdraw what funds they
wish to procure without having to
pay the federal tax.
The receipt la simply an ac-
knowledgement that the amount
of money asked for has been paid
to the depositor. This is not "an
order for the payment of funds”
and is therefore not subject to the
tax.
However, ehecks given in the
general business routine will be
subject to the tax. A person gives
another a check for any purpose
will have to pqy the two-cents ex-
tra. However, .the bank patrons
can eall at their places of depos-
itory and get the funds by signing
the hank receipt and not have to
meet the additional charge of two
cents.
Cheeks drawn on public funds
of all description will be exempt
from this tax. This includes,
school, municipal, county, state
and federal funds.
J. A. Wise of the Citizens Na-
tional Bank and E. F. Crim of the
First National Bank are confident
that the new check tax will not
take any heavy toll from the de-
positors. The tax is not expected
to have any appreciable effect on
banking enterprises.
