W. A. DeLaney Declared Guilty
in City Court-Yesterday.
CUT ATTORNEY WINS CASE
Peculiar Case Where Three White Men
Swore ThatfNegro Did the Shooting
and Jury Fined White Man.
A peculiar case was tried
m
the city court yesterday after
noon w. A. DeLaney was
charged with shooting up his
restaurant about two weeks ago.
The case had been tried once
and resulted in a hung jury.
The peculiar part of the trial is
that three white men swore that
they saw a negro Will Howard
do the shooting A still the jury
leturned a verdict chat DeLaney
did it The negro Will Howard
also acknowledged that he had
justf plead guilty to a charge of
theft and that he had two indict
ments against him for felonies
He said that he did not do the
shooting but that DeLaney did
it Joe Conner went on the
stand and swore that he was an
eye witness to the shooting and
that the negro did it. John Byrd
offered the same testimony. The
efendant said that he fired the
first shot accidently and .that the
negro thenstook the gun and fir
ed the other shots. Bub Rhone
said that he had overheard a
conversation in which the defen
dant saidthat he had fired the
first shot accidently but that he
then emptied the sun purposely. 1
C. A. Tunnell was then called
to the stand and asked as to who
wrote the article appearing in
the Daily Bulletin crediting the
shooting to DeLaney. Mr. Tun-
nell said that the article was
written by E. E. Kirkpatrick.
Mr. Kirkpatrick was then put on
the stand and testified that De-
Laney had called him into his
joint the day following the
shooting and told him not to put
his name in the Bulletin in ref-
erence to the shooting. DeLan-

; ey was inforafed that the paper
played no favorites and that the
article would appear using his
! name. He was informed that if
he could get the managing editor
to order the name not to appear
.that it would be left out. Kirk-
patrick said that DeLaney made
the remark that if ihe not been
drunk he would not have done
the shooting.
'City Attorney Will J. Scott
urged the jury to return a ver-j
diet of guilty and assess the
highest fine. He said that de-
spite the evidence of the men
who swore that they saw the
negro do the shooting that the
circumstances showed that De-
Laney was the guilty party.
TJcie jury was out only a few
minutes and returned a verdict
of guilty and fined the defendant
five dollars. As stated before
the unusual feature of the case
was the fact that two men swore
that they were eye witnesses
and that the negro did the shoot
ing and the jury decided other-
wise. The defendant gave notice
J of appeal. City Attorney Scott
will likely be employed by the
state to help prosecute should the
case go to the county court as he
has handled the case in a re-
markably able manner for the
city and is thoroughly cognizant
of all the details and facts in the
matter. 1

Band Makes Music.
The Brownwood band is an or-
ganization of which each and
every citizen of the town may
well feel proud. Yesterday the
band played on the streets be-
fore going to the park for the
evening entertainment and many
strangers took occasion to com
pliment the music they made.
Recently the band employed Prof.
Dave Lowrey an experienced
teacher and he has been work
ing hard to make the band
capable of handling most any
kind of engagement. Its a
worthy institution and should re-
ceive words' of encouragement
and substantial encouragement
at the hands of the business men
and citizens." A donation occa
sionally would be appreciated by
the band boys since they must
employ a teacher at their own
expense.

George Washington.
The common red 2 cent
stamp as we all know bears
on its face the likeness of
George Washington the Fath-
er of his country. Why is his
picture on the stamp? Well
you Know George was a jjocd
boy but he cut down his
father's cherry tree and be-
cause he told the truth abont
it of courae his father could
not "lick" him so the people
took it up and have been lick-
ing him ever since. We do not
sell stamps at THE 5 AND
10 CENT STORE but we sell
many other articles ;just ag
necessary that you do not have
to lick to make them serve
their purpose.
