ARREST NEW BRAUNFELS FUGITIVE
STATE TO END
1 TESTIMONY IN
. MURDEHTBIAL
Defendant and Sister Will
Testify Probably
Friday.
WOMEN ON STAND
Eyewitnesses Tell of See-
ing Joe Moran
Killed.
Presentation of testimony for the
state in the trial of Joe Arredondo
charged by indictment with the murder
of Joe Moran is expected to be con-
cluded in the Thirty-seventh district
court some time Thursday afternoon.
Thia was indicated when court re-
cessed at 11:45 with but a few wit-
nesses remaining to be examined by
the state. Six witnesses none of
whom gave any startling testimony
took the stand during the morning
for the state.
Providing the defense begins the ex-
amination of its witnesses during the
afternoon it is probable that it can
conclude its case by Friday afternoon
and that U>e jury can begin its de-
liberations some time Saturday. It
is probable Judge W. 8. Anderson will
hold a night session of court Thurs-
day and Friday if necessary.
Joe Arredendo and his sister
Teresa are expected to prove the star
witnesses for the defense. Joe alone
Mgi tell just what happened prior to
his firing of the two shots which
snuffed out the life of the San An-
tonio prixe fighter. That the self-
defense plea .will be the main point
of the defense was indicated Thurs-
day when through a tedious cross ex-
amination of state's witnesses the de-
fense attorneys laid a predicate for
this by showing that none of the
witnesses saw Moran's actions just
prior to bis being shot. It is ex-
pected that the defense will attempt
to prove that Moran made a motion-
toward his hip just before Arredondo
fired.
Girls Disturb Court.
Just what is exacted to be proved
by the testimony of Arredondo’s sis-
ter was not divluged although defense
attorneys admitted that she is ex-
pected to be a star witness.
Paul 11. Ehrling who occupied a
seat on the bandstand at the Eagles
Hall on the night of the tragedy tes-
tified to having searched Moran’s body
in bunting for a pocket handkerchief.
Epon cross examination however he
admitted that he had nade no ex-
amination of the body for weapons.
Martin Coxtez Juan Excobeda Euse-
bio Samora Jesus Rosales and Rodol-
fo Gonzales were the six witnesses
placed ou the stand by the state
Thursday.
The solemnity of the Thirty-seventh
district court room was disturbed
somewhat Thursday morning by the
.•npers of the score of girl witnesses
*-ho bad been segregated in an ante-
•oom. It required the combined ef-
orts of Deputy Sheriffs Peters and
Lambert to maintain order and keep
jobbing heads out of the doors. Depu-
tes also were called upon to suppress
i harmless disturbance in the cor-
•idor. I
The plea of self defense which it
Kas been intimated the attorneys for
■foe Arrendondo will attempt to in-
■ect into his trial was dealt a severe
Biiow Wednesday afternoon when Al-
Kerto Martinez a witness for the
State testified that J...- Moran for
Hvhose murder Arrendondo is being
■ ried was passing his hat to the check-
er at the Eagles Dance Hall when the
■atal shot was fired. Martinez said I
Hie was standing iust behind Arrendon-
Ko at the time. Other eyewitnesw
Kestified to having seen Arrendondo
Hire the shots that killed Moran.
H “I was. standing just behind Mo-
Kan as close as this ” said Martinez
Indicating with his hands a few inches
Kf space. "We were near the door
Heading into the ladies' dressing room.
Hoe Arrendondo had his hand on his
Hip pocket nnd was looking into the
Hance hall door. Joe Moran came out

ALLEGED KIDNAPERS
FREED WHEN STATE
FAILS TO PROVE CASE
Evidence Shows No Force
Used to Abdact Bri-
jida Salazar. -
Charges of kidnaping against Cino-
bio and Jesus Gonzales and Simon
Contreras growing out of the disap-
pearance of Mrs. Brijida Salazar
from her home at Lakeview Gardens
last Friday were dismissed by Judge
S. G. Tayloe in the 45th District
Court following a habeas corpus bear-
ing Wednesday afternoon. Judge Tay-
loe held that the state had failed to
prove any violation of the law in that
testimony showed no force had been
used.
The habeas corpus was begun Tues-
day morning at which time Simon
Contreras son of the Salazar woman
testified that he had taken his mother
from the home of Salazar whom she
had recently married to the home of
his foster father. Cinobio Gonzales
with whom bis mother had lived for
twelve years. Contreras took full re-
sponsibility for the act asserting his
belief that his z mother had no right
to abandon her common law husband.
Contreras denied however that force
had been employed.
Mrs. Salazar testifying at the hear-
ing Wednesday afternoon corroborat-
ed her son's testimony and stated that
no pistol had been displayed. Neigh-
l>ors claimed to have seen two men
forcibly abduct Mrs. Salazar at the
point of a pistol. State’s attorneys
following Mrs. Salazar's testimony
agreed with Judge Tayloe that no case
had been made against the trio.
ROTTEN EGG BARRAGE
LAID DOWN BY TWO
BOYS ON WEST SIDE
Police Pat Handkerchiefs

Down Alley. •
Marcelino San Miguel and Vicente
Campos 12-year-old lads landed in
the Bexar county jail at 10:15 Thurs-
day morning. Police allege they caused
a “near panic” in the vicinity of West
Commerce and Laredo streets.
The specific charge lodged against
the youthful prisoners as recorded on
the police blotter is “malicious mis-
chief to-wit: throwing rotten eggs in
a public place.”
Because of rapid and urgent appeals
for “help” “police” and "gas masks”
central headquarters dispatched a
squad of station officers to the scene
in. the big police emergency car. Con-
fusion. excitement much talk and ges-
ticulation greeted the police as the big
car whirled into Laredo from Com-
merce street.
Police immediately knew the cause
of disorder. Rank odors such as only
can be produced by ancient eggs pre-
meated the air. Police joined the
crowds by making improvised gas
masks of handkerchiefs. Directed by
a dozen or more individuals to an al-
ley the police despite the stifling suf-
focating fumes that paled the scent
of Liinburger cheese made their way.
Unconscious of the tense situation
they were creating. Marcelino ami Vi-
cente were officers reported depicting
a scene from the "Days of Real Sport”

Kansas City Mo. June 14.— Heavy
rains in some portions of Kansas with
light showers at many places were
reported this morning just as the
swollen streams which have caused
several million dollar worth of dam-
age to crops and property were re-
turning to their banks. To date the
rains have caused no appreciable rise

the populous suburban district be-
tween here and Sand Springs.
At 1:30 o’clock thi? morning the

Officials of the water department
expected to start water flowing

has faced Tulsa since the pumping
stations went out of commission short-
ly after midnight Tuesday.
It will be several days before all of
the 5(100 refugees from West Tulsa
and the flooded area extending to Sand
Springs ean return to their homes.
Meanwhile they are being adequately
carol for by relief agencies.
The flood death toll in this vicin-

The story told today in Chinese to
an interpreter was of a pitched battle
with axes pistols marlin pikes and

THREE YEAR CHASE FOR
i W. DOTY INDICTED FOR
EMBEZZLEMENT IS OVER
Department of Justice Trails Express
Company Official Across Continent
Several Times —Arrested in Buffalo
New York —Case Will Come Before
Federal Court Here.
After having been a fugitive from justice for three
years W. W. Doty formerly an agent for an express com-
pany at New Braunfels who is under indictment in the
federal court at San Antonio for the alleged embezzlement
of $6OO of the railway express company’s funds has been
apprehended at Buffalo New York on information fur-
nished by Gus Jones .agent in charge of the bureau of in-
vestigation at San Antonio. Officials at Buffalo have re-
quested Mr. Jones to forward them a certified copy of the
indictment returned by the federal grand jury here iri
1920 in order that he may be removed to the San An-
tonio division for trial.
At the time the alleged embezzlement occurrW the
railway express company was under government control
and the federal courts have jurisdiction. The indictment
alleges that the embezzlement took place in 1919 and
alleged that the defendant juggled his accounts.
Since the return of the indictment in 1920 the de-
fendant has been a fugitive. He has been trailed back and
forth across the United States. Information was finally
'received by the bureau of investigation here that the fu-
gitive was in Buffalo. Evidently he thought that the trail
had grown cold. His photograph and other information
concerning his habits and probable occupation were for-
warded to Buffalo resulting in his apprehension. It is
reported that members of his family live in New Aork
state.

Governor Reticent Concern-
cerning Probability of
Another Special Session.
Austin. Tex. June 14.— With tbr
adoption of the various free confer-
ence commit tee reports on the euuca-
tionul ami other appropriation btl.s
preparations are in progress Thursday
tor final adjournment of the third
called session of the 3Sth Legislature
late Thursday night.
Quite a number ot the members of
both branches have already made res-
ervations to leave for their respeett'e
homes Thursday night and it is not
expected that there will be a quorum
present in either branch at tbe final
adjournment.
There are no indications of another
special session being called at this
time. Governor Neff was an interest-
ed spectator for nearly an hour Ihurs-
day on the floor of the House watch-
ing the proceedings and conversing
with various members.
Despite the efforts of the free con-
ference committee to cut npp/opria-
tions it is not expected over »4.->lMt.-
OVO will be cut from the bills as ve-
toed by the governor ihis will still
leave an apnarent deficit of something
like s3o(K>(ltHl. Whether the gover-
nor will permit this apparent deficit
to stand for the present has not been
disclosed. _ . .
Governor Neff was reticent Thurs-
day at noon as to the probability ot
another special session. The general
consensus of opinion among the mem-
bers of both branches is that no other
special session will be called immedi-
ately but if the revenues from the
new revenue measures do not bring
in the estimated amounts claimed
then the governor will call another
special session to meet next January
Even should there be another special
session now there are little chances of
h Quorum being maintained until some
time next week.

HOME
EDITION
The report of the capture of an-
other fugitive has been received by
Mr. Jones and marks the culmination
of a search that has been In progress
since last August.
Charles A. Eisenberger under a
two-year sentence following his cos-
viction on an indictment charging
him with embezzlement and the sale
of morphine on government property.-
and who escaped from the military
prisop at Fort Mclntosh lairedo. last
August was apprehended at Philadel-
phia m here members of his family re-
side.
Federal Eyes Always Open.
The search for Eisenberger hns been
relentlessly pursued. He was trailed
into Mexico and out again.
Since Eisenberger is under a two*
year sentence at Leavenworth it i»
believed by Mr. Jones that be will
be taken directly from Philadelphia
to Leavenworth.
Another instance of the tenacity ot
government agents in apprehending
fugitives from justice is brought Pt
mind bv the receipt of a certified copy
of an 'indictment from Great Falls
Mont. in the case of Frederick Gend-
ron a half-breed Blackfoot Indian
who was recently apprehended by an
agent working out of the San An-
tonio office. The Indian was picked
up at Laredo after he had crossed
tile river from Nuevo Laredo to get
n letter waiting for him at tbo
Laredo postoffice.
Pursuit Never Ends.
The capture of Gendron marked the
culmination of a three year search ex-
tending from Montana to San An-
tonio and thence to Nuevo Laredo
Mexico. The indictment returned by
tbe federal grand jury at Great Falls
with the offense of having committee
an alleged assault upon a nine-year-
old girl. Since the alleged offense oc-
curred upon the Blackfoot reserva-
tion. the ease came under the juris-
diction of tbe federal courts. 'lhe
certified copy of the indictment has
been forwarded to the United States
district attorney at Houston prepara-
tory to the removal of the Indian to
Montana.
“Files of the Department of Jus-
tice are never closed” Mr. Jones said
"until a fugitive has been apprehend-
ed or has died. Our search for a
fugitive may continue lon- after the
