It was a bad guess according to of-
ficer* who are investigating the case
when the gang which terms itself the
"Fifteen Strong" picked on the Mex-
ican youths.
It has been the habit residents of
the vicinity say for the gang to watch
an ice house near the Toudouze store
at the intersection of the Corpus
Christi and Pleasanton roads and to
jump on any child seen to leave with
a watermelon.
Wednesday night they said the
Mendoza brothers rode up on bicycles
and bought a melon.

the gang surrounded them demanding
the melon.

ten months having grown out of a
drum and bugle corps organized among
the boys of the Sunday school class
taught by Lutcher Stark.
Only three or four of the boys had
played any kind of an instrument pre-
viously and many of the present mem-
bers of the organization have been
playing only five or six months.
The band caravan left Orange Tues-
day morning June 16.
The tourists passed through Beau-
mont Houston and intermediate
points playing where possible.
They stopped a day in Austin
where they played by invitation at the
governor’s mansion and at the state
house. They also gave a concert ou
the campus of the University of
Texas.
They have been requested to play-
in Austin July 4 and have decided to
extend ths trip until thst time in or-
der to comply.
They will also spend a day or two

PARALYZED VET
ASKS DIVORCE
FROM WIFE
Claims He Was Intoxicated
When Ceremony Was
Performed.
—— ’ -’S
Plea for annulment of a marriage
contracted he alleges when he was
intoxicated and incapable of knowing
what he was doing is contained in a
suit filed in the Seventy-third District
Court Thursday by a disabled soldier.
The further fact he claims that he
is a permanent cripple having suf-
fered a broken back when a house
collapsed prevents his entering into a
marriage contract.
The suit was brought through an
attorney William Schlesinger after
the man had originally appealed to
County Clerk Jack R. Burke to re-
voke the marriage license. His plea
came too late however as the cere-
mony already had been performed.
Investigation at that time showed
that a well known San Antonio min-
ister hnd performed the ceremony and
according to his statements the groom
gave no evidence of intoxication.
But in his petition for annulment
the groom alleges that it was while
he was intoxicated that he was taken
to the home of a woman in the west-
ern portion of the city and the cere-
mony performed April 1.
The man claims that he learned of
the ceremony at 10 o'clock the fol-
lowing morning. Shortly thereafter he
alleges he was taken in a service car
to an army post where he is confined
to a hospital ward.
His injuries were sustained at Kelly
Field in February 1923 the soldier
alleges when a house he was assisting
in moving fell on him. As a result his
back was broken and he was para-
lyzed from the waist down a

Long Arguments Forecast
Further Delay in
Trial’s Close.
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO June 25.—The first
jury plea in behalf of William Darling
Shepherd was continued today by
William Scott Stewart chief of de-
fense counsel. He spoke for more than
two hours yesterday and said this
morning he would require all of the
forenoon and possibly would continue
talking this afternoon.
The indicated length of his argu-
ment set back the probable time of the
case going to the jury.
After Stewart concludes W W.
O’Brien his associate will close for
the defense. Robert E. Crowe state's
attorney then will close for the prose-
cution.
Shepherd entered the court room
this morning with his face showing
distinct marks of worry. Newspaper
men who have seen him almost daily
for three months said he seemed more
careworn than at any time since he
was accused of using typhoid germs to
murder his millionaire foster-son Wil-
liam Nelson McClintock.
Mrs. Shepherd seemed particularly
affable however. She smiled and
chatted with a group of friends who
constantly attend her in court.
Defense Attorney Stewart continued
his attack upon Alexander F. Rcich-
mann prominent Chicago attorney and
with Mrs. Shepherd former co-guar-
dian of ‘Billy McClintock.
Stewart took up the testimony of
the witnesses in the trial and analyzed
it from his view point for the jury.
