PROBABLE MOTIVE

teres! in View of the Tes*
(imony Adduced.
PARDON ARRIVES FOR
THE WITNESS BOTELLO
Intrusion of the Rlchter home at un-
usual hours of the night by Antonio
Planes was alleged by the defense yes-
terday in the case of Herman J. Richter,
now on trial in the Thirty-seventh Dis
trlct Court, on a charge of shooting to
death Antonio Planes last September.
Testimony of "William 1-*. Richter, father,
and Henry Richter, brother, of the de-
fendant, was to the effect that the Mexi-
can had been detected on at least two
different occasions under very untoward
circumstances at the residence. Once, ii
was charged, he had made his way to
the gallery of tne second floor and was
attempting to open a shutter when de-
tected and frightened away. At another
time it was alleged Planes had seized
Miss Rosie Richter, sister of the defen-
dant, in the hallway of tlie house, when
she had gone down at a late hour ot the
niaht.
The defense offered its star witnesses
yesterday, and the day's developments at
times partook of the nature of sensation-
alism.
Spectator Carries Pistol.
Quite a stir was caused in the court
]*oom directly after noon, when Gabriel
Planes, brother of the dead man, was
apprehended in the gallery of the court
room with a gun on his person. Deputy
Sheriff J. 1). Nipper took tho man into
the Sheriff's office, where he was
searched and relieved of the weapon. A
charge of unlawfully carrying arms was
then filed against Planes, and ho was
lodged in the county jail.
Attorney Salliway, for the defendant
proposed that all witnesses for the State
r>e searched, but at the adjournment of
court his request had not been complied
witk.
District Attorney Baker retrieved his
loss of ground sustained on the preceding
day by offering as evidence the pardon
of Roque Boteilo, the State's star wit-
ness, who had been shown by Wednes
day's evidence to have served a term in
the State penitentiary.
When this surprise was sprung by tho
defense. Attorney Baker had no evidence
to show that Boteilo had been pardoned.
He at once got into telephone communi-
cation with the State authorities at Aus-
tin and, failing to find a record of
Botello's pardon, if such were ever made,
called up the Governor late "Wednesday
night and asked him to make out a par-
don for the witness. This pardon, bearing
the signature of Governor Campbell and
the date of January 20 some two years
after tlie release of Boteilo from prison -
arrived early yesterday morning-and was
offered as evidence. The testimony of
Boteilo. which would otherwise have been
exeliided. will, by virtue of this belated
pardon, now be allowed as evidence in
the trial.
Dr. Berrey on Stand.
The first witness put on by the State
yesterday morning was County Health
Officer D. Berrey. who testified as to tho
location of the wound in the body of the
dead Mexican. The shot, he said, had
entered from behind, penetrating the
bra i n
Antonio Preato, the next witness, testi-
fied that he was fifty tVet from Planes
when he fell from the shot, and that he
hurried toward tho wounded man. Preato
was certain there were two shots fired
during the affray, and said that only one
of them was fired by Herman J. Richter.
tho defendant. He thought a lapse of
about three seconds divided the shots.
Frank Brown, city policeman, and Joe
Cassia no, at that time a member of the
city detective force, testified as to the
position of the body and the circum-
stances attendant upon their arrival im-
mediately following the shooting.
The defense made it,s first material
stroke of the day during the testimony of
Jacoby Salaaar, the next witness. Salazar
said he was a Constable in Laredo prior
to the shooting here lust September.
Also he was a member of the master
bakers' union, and as such had cm-
ployed Reran. one of the principal wit-
nesses for the State. Witness' testimony
ran to the effect that Planes had, while
in Laredo. told him that he (Planes) was
5n love with the daughter of William 11*
Richter. The Mexican had made many
improper remarks about the Richter
daughter, witness said.
G. A. Mauermann, ex-Chief of Police,
told how Henry Richter, who was then a
special officer, had brought his brother

MANQiEl) BODY OF BABE
FOUND ON RIVER BANK
DECOMPOSITION HAD SET IN AND
ONE LEG SEVERED.
Child of Premature Birth, According
to Dr. Berrey, and Police Are
Attempting to Fasten
the Guilt.
Stark-nude, mangled and in the initial
stages of decomposition, the body of a
new-born male babe was washed up on
the river bank just below the Guenther
Mills early yesterday morning and found
by a laborer passing about 7 o'clock. Tho
condition indicated premature birth. That
it was thrown in the river by an unnat-
ural mother is the theory of the police
and upon which an effort will be made
to fasten the gilt.
Tho body was badly bruised evidently
from contact with the banks of the river
on its way down. The right leg had been
torn or bitten off just below tlie kneo.
The amputated portion of the member
was found a few yards up stream from
the remainder of tho body, indicating
that it had either been carried there or
had caught on tho limb Mi an overhang-
ing tree and been severed in this manner.
It is believed, however, that some dog
or wolf chewed the limb from the trunk
and left it on tin- spot located.
The laborer making the gruesome dis-
covery at once communicated the fact
to police headquarters and officers were
hurried to the spot Justice of the Peace
Umscheid was later summoned. With
County Health Officer Berrey. tho Justice
hurried to the scene of the discovery
and held an inquest over the remains.
No testimony was taken, however, and
Justice Umscheid will not attempt to de-
liver a verdict before some time today.
It is believed tho body had been in
the water for at least two days. Tt is be-
lieved also that it probably was placed
in the river farther up and that it floated
down to where it was found yesterday.
The body was turned over to Under-
taker Riebe and by him buried yesterday
afternoon.

Herman to the City Hall and turned him
over to the authorities the afternoon
after the shooting.
The weapon used was introduced as
evidence by City Chief of Police Charles
Van Uiper, the next witness. Two shots
had been tired from tho weapon, accord-
ing to Chief Van Riper's testimony.
W. L. Richter Testifies.
The afternoon session began with the
testimony of William L. Richter, father
of the defendant. Mr. Richter was evi-
dently much affected upon taking tho
witness stand, and his testimony was
broken by many outbreaks of feeling. In
a trembling voice and with tears trick-
ling down his cheeks, the father told how
Planes, the dead Mexican, had been
found 011 the gallery of his home one
night before the killing, and how he had
subsequently discharged t lie intruder
from his employ when tho latter came
to his bakery the next day.
Mrs. Richter, the wife, had later told
witness of Planes' action in seizing lus
daughter when she had gono down into
the hallway a few nights before. She
did not relate this occurrence at the
time because of the fear of rush action
on his part. This story tho witness re-
lated to his son Saturday morning.
Mr. Richter, the father, then related
how he had seen his two sons, Henry
and Herman, leave his residence the
afternoon of tho killing and go in the
direction of the bakery. Apprehending
trouble, he sent Rudolph, a younger son,
to bid them hurry to the house at once,
ns he was anxious to see them. Rudolph
returned shortly and witness supposed
that he would be followed by the two
boys. Me was shocked and startled, a
few minutes later, however, to hear two
shots ring out and, upon running; to the
door, to perceive his two sons driving up
in a grocery delivery wagon. Mr. Rich-
ter said that Hfcnry had said to him
upon that occasion:
"Father, Herman shot Tony Planes,
and I put him under arrest. I shall take
him immediately to the City Hall."
witness said he had then bade his son
Henry, having under charge tho younger
son. Henry, to hurry to tho City Hail
with all possible disnatch.
Mr. Bichter told also of how he had
been followed, in a threatening manner a
few nights before the shooting, bv four
Mexicans—one of them being Planes -
whom he had dismissed from his employ.
He was at that time on his way honi«
from tho postoffice. and frightened his
pursuers by pretending to reach for a
gun.
Ilcnrv Richter followed his father on
the. witness stand, and substantially cor-
roborated the elder Richter's testimony
in every detail. Henry protested vigor-
ously that he did not fire a shot during
tho affray which resulted in the death <>f
Planes. TTo also declared that Pianos had
hailed his brother, the defendant, with a
vile name and had thrown his hand to
his side ns if to draw a pistol when the
shot that killed Planes was fired
Albert Meyer, County Commissioner;
M. C. Shiner and Joe Block testified ns
to the chnrneter and reputation of tho
defendant, during the afternoon.
Tt is probable that the defense will
rest its case this afternoon. Arguments
will begin this afternoon or In the morn-
ing. and the ease will go to the jury by
the end of the week.

HUS2AND MAKES CHARGE.
Says Wife Left Him as Soon as She
Got Deed to Property.
That his 23-year-old wlfo had left him
after obtaining a deed to property, about
one month after marriage, was the prin-
cipal charge made by John TT. Drake,
aged 60 years, whose suit for divorce was
heard in tho Fifty-seventh District Court
yesterday.
Deposition evidence introduced was to
the effect that the woman. Agatha
Drake, had openly declared her intention
to separate from her husband as soon as

Spring Carnival Commute© Wants to
Have Paid Shows to Cover Added
Expense and Tentative Agree-
ment Is Reached.
\ A bond will bo required of the Carnival
Association by the city bofor© any per-
mission will be granted for the use of
the city plazas during the Spring Car-
nival.
At a conference yesterday between
Mayor Callaghan, tho Parks and Plazas
Committee of tho City Council and Emll
Frank, representing the Carnival Asso-
ciation, this was the condition made for
use of the plazus.
Mr. Frank said h« thought the bond
pfoposition could be arranged, but in
view of the additional expense involved
he thought tho City Council should allow
paid snows on the plazas.
While the petition sent to tho Council
by the CarnivHl Association explains that
the plazas are desired for free shows only,
it in probably that an amendment will be
offered asking for their use for paid at-
tractions.
Another meeting of the Parks and
Plazas Committee with Mr. Frank will
bo held tomorrow afternoon when the
bond question will bo decided and other
points brought up.
"We have no objection to the Carnival
Association having paid attractions on
the plazas.'' said Chairman Dlotzmann,
of tho parks and Plazas Committee, "pro-
viding they give a bond for accidents
which may ha^en. It makes little dif-
ference whether tho shows are free or
paid as long as they are not objectionable
from a moral standpoint. If the carnival
committee will give the necessary bond
our committee will recommend to the
Council the granting of the permission
requested."
The committee notified Mr. Frank, how-
ever, that they could not give them the
use of the Hay Plaza under any consider-
ation. on account of it being needed con-
stantly by farmers and gardeners who
pav for its use.
The Carnival Association desired the
use of the Hay Plaza for the military
carnival to be given by the soldiors of
Fort Bam Houston.
