Baseball fans are not the only folks
who are sitting up and taking notice
these days. The anglers of Galveston
and many of the other towns of Texas
are figuring that it is about time to
begin enjoying the season’s sport from
the Bettison pier. As a result a number
of them have been sending in numer-
ous enquiries to Captain Amundsen.
All of them want to know when the
nier will be opened.
As a result of these inquiries it is
announced today that the Bettison pier
out on the north jetty, will be opened
next Sunday for the accomodation of
a number of Galveston and Houston
sportsmen who have been particularly
anxious to get at the finny tribe for
some time.
It is also announced that beginning
March first the pier will be open daily
with regular schedules of boats to and
from the resort.

John H. Webster, general agent in
the passenger department of the Erie
railway at Cincinnati, is in the city
today. This is the first trip Mr. Web-
ster has made to Texas and he is de-
lighted with what he finds. He says
that there are many things for which
the inhabitants of the state should be
proud and that Texas is undoubtedly
the coming country of the nation. He
has been stopping at the Galzez while
in the city and states that Galveston,
and the Galvez is about the last word
in the line of a place for tourists.
“Your city and its hotels are the best
I have ever seen and certainly as a
tourists’ resort it has no equal on this
side of the globe.”
So pleased is the visiting railroad
official that he states he will send his
family here for a vacation within the
next few months. While here he took
a look at the great seawall and mar-
veled at the fact that a city with no
larger source of revenue would under-
take such a gigantic structure. He
says that Galveston is pretty well ad-
vertised in the North and East and
that the number coming here from
year to year will grow greatly, as
they are all about like him and will go
back home and represent it to be the
ideal place for tourists all the, year
around.
F. E. Roesles of the immigration and
industrial department of the Kansas

his wife and they are both so delight-
ed with Galveston that they are to be
among the thousands from that section
of the nation who visit Galveston dur-
ing the summer.- “Why wait until
summer for a dip in the waters of the
gulf?” he said. “It seems warm
enough to take a plunge right now. I
think you have the best place on the
map for an all-year resort.”

Vernon, Tex., Feb. 21.—Al Boyce
never would have been killed by John
Beal Sneed if he had obeyed the wishes
of his brothers, Lynn and Will, they
testified today in Sneed’s trial.
They both testified they wanted Al
to stay in Canada after the elopement
with Mrs. Sneed and the return of Mrs.
Sneed to Texas, even after Sneed had
killed Capt. A. G. Boyce Sr., they were
at least opposed to Al’s returning to
Texas.
“What do you, know of a detective
hired to follow Sneed?” Senator Odell
of the prosecution asked Lynn.
“I don’t know of a cent ever having
been paid for such a thing. The first
time I ever heard of a detective fol-
lowing him was when he testified to
it in this court. I only wish to God
we had done it.”
Will Boyce, the elder of the Boyce
boys, a lawyer at Amarillo, had never
testified before. He said he lived
across the street from Terry Tomp-
son, who married a sister of Sneed, in
Amarillo and that Sneed visited the
Thompson’s frequently after the kill-

returned to their home in San Antonio

Austin, Tex., Feb. 21?—With a bare
quorum of 22 senators the senate re-
sumed its deliberations this morning
after having been out of the harness
since Wednesday of last week. No
sooner had the body begun its deliber-
ations than a committee consisting of
Real, Brelsford and Terrell left for
Gatesville to make a thorough investi-
gation of the state training school for
juveniles. The deliberations of the
senate continued then without quorum,
the body disposing of such matters as
may be disposed of without a roll call,
which would disclose the absence of a
quorum.
A flood of bills was introduced at
once. Among them was a bill by Car-
ter providing that no insurance con-
cern can escape payment on a policy
by a technicality; by Murray, prohibit-
ing corporations or agents of corpora-
tions from contributing to campaign
funds; by Murray, empowering city
councils to prescribe districts in which
intoxicating liquors may be sold; by
Murray, providing that after local op-
tion has been defeated an election may
be held to determine whether or not the
sale of liquor shall be restricted to
unbroken packages; by Wiley, prohibit-
ing carnal intercourse between a
father and his son’s wife; by Wiley,
dropping the word “habitual” from the
definition of adultery; by Brelsford, a
strenuous white slave bill providing a
penalty of $1,000 to $5,000 fine and
imprisonment from one to three years;
by Brelsford, exempting Y. M. C. A.
and Y. W. C. A. property from taxa-
tion; by Johnson, providing an amend-
ment of the election laws by which
there may be contests of primary elec-
tions; by Nugents, -prohibiting estab-
lishment of a saloon within two miles

The more recent estimates include
Alta Loma with 250 acres, Hitchcock

telegrams from Senator J. E. Kauff-

Campbell resolution had been adopted
by the state senate today.
This resolution has already passed
the house and calls upon congress to
make an appropriation for the exten-
sion of the seawall as recommended

lution will be forwarded at once. To-

less have been taken several days ago

nave been secured.

step toward final action has been tak-
en. Efforts to get the government to
take the action desired will be pushed
with vigor.

house or return, Boyce said.
John Blanton, Snyder or Sneed’s
brother was always with him when he
walked, Boyce said, and he rode in a
cab when he was alone.
“One day,” the witness testified, “I
had met Lynn on the street, and he
told me he was going to Fort Worth
that afternoon. Later I saw Terry
Thompson load a suitcase into his au-
tomobile and start away. I knew Mr.
Sneed had been at his house and I im-
mediately went to the depot. I d
not want Lynn and Sneed to go on
the same train to Fort Worth.”
“Who paid Lattimore, Cummings,
Doyle and Bouldin for their service in
the habeas corpus proceedings to get
Mrs. Sneed released from the Fort
Worth sanitarium?” William H. Mc-
Lean asked on cross examination.
“I don’t know,” Boyce answered. “I
didn’t and there was no record of such
expenditure in the disbursement of
the estate.”
He said he knew Al was back in this
section of the country because he ap-
peared publicaly on the streets of Ama-
rillo. Lynn, he said, had received a let-
ter from him at Fort Worth.
E. A. (Pat) Paffrath of Fort Worth
called as a witness for the State tes-
tified that he saw Al Boyce in Amarillo
Monday before the Saturday of the
killing, that Al was negotating for the
purchase of some ranch land. Boyce
and two other men, he sand, were going
to buy from 50,000 to 100,000 acres of
the old Captial syndicate ranch and
buy some 2,000 to 4,000 head of cattle.
Their ranch was to "be on the Cana-
dian river in Texas.
Paffrath said he-had never stated
that Boyce had returned to this country
to kill Sneed. On cross examination
McLean asked him if he had not parad-
ed the streets of Fort Worth and stood
about the Worth hotel lobby talking
against Sneed. McLean told him to
answer simply by yes or no and Paff-
rath did not answer.
“I saw Al Boyce about three days be-
fore he went to Canada,” said the wit-
ness. “It was in the Metropolitan Ho-
tel lobby. He told me he was waiting
for a friend from Amarello and that
he was going to Hot Springs. A few
days later, Lee Tigner, Fort Worth
detective came to me and said Boyce
had dissappeared and his folks feared
he was on a spree and wanted me to
find him. I told him what Boyce had
told me, I did’nt learn until later that
he had run away with Sneed’s wife.”
Paffrath became obstinate while Mc-
Lean was questioning him and Mc-
Lean appealed to Judge Mabors to or-
der the witness to answer the ques-
tions directly. “It’s hard to answer such
questions as you ask,”. Paffrath said.
"Well I’ll comment on you when I
make a speech to the jury,” McLean
replied.
