HE 18 IN JAIL
I. 6. GAAL ACCUSED OF TH£ CRIME OF
MURDER.
Full Particulars of tbe Yileta Killing—OnW
One Dead Man Found—How
He Was Killed.
Yesterday morning a representative of
the Times went down to Ysleta at 2:30
o'clock to discover what was going on
and to become acquainted with the situa
tion. Sheriff J. H. White in leaving for
the scene of the Ysleta trouble Friday
night left distinct orders that he did not
need any posse or assistance of any na
ture. Nevertheless when the train dis-
patcher at that point failed to announce
the arrival of Captain White on the scene
there was considerable anxiety felt here
as to his safety and hundreds were ready
and anxious to go to his rescue in case he
was in a close place, In order to avoid a
rush, Captain Dowd, Dick Blacker, Tom
White. Chas. Williams and a Times re-
porter secured a private drag and started
in it for Ysleta.
As we neared Ysleta we experienced
several changes in the atmosphere. At
first, at the start, the atmosphere seemed
bouyant, but then came the calm still
solemnity of knowing that somebody
had got up ahead of us and was then in
the field. Our pftrty reached Ysleta, or
rather the outskirts of that lovely town
just as about twenty of Gaal's fellowers
big lusty fellowers, toimnted on good
horses and armed with Winchesters had
decided to leave for a more congenial
clime. When they met our party of
peace they drew their Winchesters Charlie
Williams held the ribbons and not desir-
ing to participate in a one-side massocre,
Williams pulled up the team, and the
chivalrous followers of Gaal discovering
that there were five ready rifles to meet
their fifteen sullenly passed on.
In the town everything was quiet. We
arrived just at the break of day and were
challenged on all sides. At the 1.depot
we were called to a halt at the muzzle of
six Winchesters. The holders of the six
Winchesters were standing guard over
the remains of a poor Mexican, who had
only been in Ysleta three days when
summoned by Constable Ed Bryant to
serve on the posse to ar-
rest Gaal, whose armed forces
brutally murdered the poor fellow while
he was following the orders of a state
officer.
The only newspaper representative in
the place during the night and morning
was a reporter of the Times, detailed for
the work of gathering the full particu-
lars, and the particulars cannot be im-
proved upon as stated in the Times yes-
terday morning.
The trouble originated thusly: Mayor
Alderete sent several handB to clean out
the acequia. Gaal sent an armed force
to make the men leave their work, unless
they consented to acknowledge Gaal as
mayor. This they declined to do and
were compelled to quit work. Complaint
was filed against Mr. Gaal for interfering
with the local authorities and for exhib-
iting an armed force calculated to dis-
turb the peace. A warrant was issued
for the arrest of Gaal to eompel him to
give bond for keeping the peace. Con-
stable Ed Bryant, a state officer, in no
way connected with Ysleta city affairs,
was ordered to serve tbe warrant. But
the balance wc will tell in Mr. Bryant's
own language. Be said:
"Being reliably informed that Gaal
was arming a force to resist arrest I sum-
moned a posse of about fifteen or twenty
men and started after him. His forces
saw me going to his houBe and they di.
vided, about fifty of them passing up the
railroad and the others went straight to
Gaal's house. We were not thinking of
any trouble when suddenly that portion
of Gaal's forces which had gone up the
railroad entrenched themselves benind an
adobe wall and opened Are on us. I took
my men inside an adobe corral to escape
the tire of the enemy in our rear, I ad
viced my men not to shoot unless necesB
sary. Gaal was the man we wanted
and it was iecided to make a rush for
his house. The poor man, a perfect
stranger, was first to jump over the wall,
and his body was immediately pierced by
four bullets and he fell forward dead
The bullots came from Mr. Gaal's rooms,
and I know that he is responsible for a
very ereat manv/jyives."
THB INQUEST.
At 8 o'clock Justice Rdwland called in
Dr. Ball and a coroner,*., jury and found
that the dead Mexicarframe to his death
from gun shot wounds inflicted ,by un
knownparties. Allwho were present when
the man was killed agreed
that the shots came from
I. G Gaal's residence. One of the posse
said; "It was decided to take Gaal and
no one suspected that Gaal had his house
full of armed men,"
But in the mean time Gaal had made
himself very scarce and it was
impossible to discover him. Colonel
Baylor speaking of it said: "Gaal got
the Mexican* into the fight and then
crawled into his hole. He has caused all
the trouble, but he will manage some
way to avoid punishment."
CAPTAIN WHITE ALONE
The first man on the scene
night before last wes J. C
Jones who although single handed at-
tempted to arrest the entire Gaal outfit
and for a few moments he prayed honest
ly for a force sufficient to assist him in
turning his arrests loose.
At last Captain Jim White arrived on
the scene and succeeded in securing the
surrender of sixteea men ..imp Heated in
the trouble and they will have a ; pre-
liminary hearing Monday.
The people of Ysleta are very indign
ant over the affair and will give Mr. Gaal
no sympathy for any punishment that
may be measured out to him.
Constables Bryant and Dick Blacker
late yesterday afternoon brought in two
wounded men of Gl "s followers. They
were both shot through the body.
ALL ABOUT MRS PAYNE.
Who Was Arrested In £1 Paso Ulmrgort
With Kidnapping
El Paso is well acquainted with the
Payne kidnapping affair and the Dallas
News gives the following particulors of
the case:
Last evening upon the arrival of the
eastbound train on the Texas and Pacific
the down-town passenger platform cf
that road was densely packed with peo
pie whose object was to catch a glimpse
of Mrs Lizzie Payne's baby whice was
due from B1 Paao with its grandmother.
Mrs. J, M. Payne, whom Officer Kirby
had arrested on the charge of kidnaping
it. The baby of late played a conspicu
ous part in a drama full of surprises, to
which the events of laBt night add still
another, as a preface to which it is neces-
sary to epitomize the case.
About 11 o'clock last Saturday night
Lester Payne dropped in on the News and
reported havidg lost his ft year-old
daughter, Eva, in Oak Cliff park. His
statement was that after enjoying an
afternoon at the park he left his little
daughter to play on the grass while he
steppee aside. After remaining about five
minutes he emerged again, but the child
was not to be found. He immediately
gave an alarm and the park was
thoroughly searched, but with no trace
of the little one. The lake in the park
was the scene of much excitement as it
was generally thought that the child had
fallen in the water, but the boatman and
several other persons who were on the
lake side were positive that no child had
been near the water and the search was
finally abandoned for the night, the fath-
er coming to Dallas and placing the mat-
ter in the hinds of the police. The next
day the search was again instituted, but
without the desired result, and the poor
mother went almost mad over the loss of
her child. Payne apparently searched
the city without ceasing.
Assistant Chief of Police Ed. Cornwall
and Officer Bud Kirby took the matter in
charge and soon came to the conclusion
that the child had been spirited away,not
withstanding the fact that "ayne had re-
quested Mr. T. L. Marsalis to have the
park lake drained in order to ascertain if
the body of the child was it the bottom
or not. After the officers had given the
case a little study, matters seemed to
form some definite shape, but it was only
on Monday evening that they showed the
extent of their knowledge, and the result
was indeed a surprise when Lester Payne
was arrested and charged with kidnaping
his own child.
Over the wires it was learned that the
child was at El Paso with its grand-
mother, who lives ia California, and cir-
cumstances pointing to the suspicion that
this lady had spirited away the baby at
the instance of her son, she was arrested
at El Paso, and Officer Kirby was dis-
patched to bring her back to Dallas Mr.
Kirby on leaving El Paso telegraphed the
chief of police, "We are coming," or
words to that effect, and their arrival
was expected at 8:10 last night.
A baby i,n a case is always interesting,
and this baby was the more bo because of
the sensation which had just occurred in
its brief little history It certainly drew
the crowd last night and the crowd was
composed of both sexes. Half an hour
before the arrival of the train the plat-
form was fairly filled and the bulletin
board read: "8:10 east bound, on time."
In the interval that elapsed the baby
and its father and mother seemed to be
the subject of the remarks of all present.
The mother, it was reported, had left for
Arlington, there to meet the east bound
train and reiurn with her baby. The
crowd expected to see her emerging from
the train fondling and caressing it.
Such expressions were heard as, "I'm
told the baby is a blondy with curly hair
and eoft, languishing eyes,' to which
somebody would answer, "No, it is a
brunette, and then discussion would
drift off into the merits of the case.
Among those present was Mr. Jerome
C. Kearby. the leading counsel for Grand-
mother Payne and her son Lester, He
listened and said nothing beyond casual-
ly observing to a News representative:
"Did you ever hear of such a thing as a
man kidnapping his own child?' and the
major after thus indicating the line of
defense smiled. Just then the train pulled
into the depot and as it stopped the crowd
drew close to the passenger coaches from
one of which Officer Kirby and Grand-
mother Payne descended, but not the
baby or Its mother.
"Wherein thunder is the babyV" asked
a rawboned young man who seemed to
be connected with It by consanguinity on
its mother's aide.
The answer came from somebody or
other:
"Captured by its father,"
Lawyer Ktarbv at this juncture
stepped up and RBkcd the prisoner:
•Are y» u Mrs.
"I am, sir "
He then delivered her bond to the of-
ficer in charge. She was released after
singing the instrument, she f i
with went to the St. James.
"Kirby," inquired a News reporter,
"how did Payne come to capture his
baby?"
'It seems," proceeded Mr. Kirby, "that
Payne slipped on board of the train at
Arlin
Ford I happened to be smoking a cigar
on the rear platform of the car, and just
before the train pulled out he slipped on
from the front platform and seizing the
baby ran off with it. The conductor saw
him emerge from the palace car and
enter the car in which the baby was. 1

snBpected that such a thing could happen
at Eagle Ford, particularly as I supposed
Jhat Payne was still a* IltaojBtur paying
been informed thai lip give bond last
Tuesday. I was particufarly on my
guard at Fort Worth and at Arlington
when the trains met, thinking that if
Payne's relatives at all contemplated the
recue of the baby the attempt would bo
made at eithe r of these two points At
Fort Worth I invited Mrs. Payne to take
a lunch and she declining to do so I put
a man in charge of the baby while I
lunched: I then kept my eye on it until
after leaving Arltngton, the point where
the trains met, after which I step-
ped out on the re^r platform to smoke
and talk with some friends. The con-
ductor informed me that Payne jumped
oil with the baby just as the train was
pulling out. I did not have a warrant
for the arrest ot the child, but only of ita
grandmother The grandmother told me
tha ; when her son took the baby out of
the car he said he would meet her at the
St. James with It tomorrow
Mrs. J. M. Payne the grandmother in
the case, was attired in black with a gray
duster. She is a kindly looking lady but
seemed quite fatigued from the trip. Her
statement is that her son asked her to
take his child and raise ' it for certain
reasons.
On the facts of the case being made
&nown to the authorities, officers started
on the trail of Payne, whose arrest last
night was considered very doubtful as he
had over the officers the advantage of the
darkness and a good start. He is under
a bond of $1000 to appear In eourt today.
The mother of the child, contrary to
reports, did not go to Arlington to meet
it She appeared at the depot in a hack
upon the arrival of the train,
being informed that the baby was
again in tbe hands of its father, her
grief became extreme.
Thus ended the second chapter in the
history of Baby Payne.
It would be difficult to conceive of a
more disgusted crowd than that at the
depot when it was learned that the baby
had again been switched off from the
track which was to lead it to its maternal
bosom. There were loud and deep mut-
terings in some intances'- but for the
most part dissatisfaction seemed to be
based on the failure of the baby to arrive
on time.
At midnight last night Officer Iiamsey
telegraphed Asaissiatant Chief Ed Corn
wall that the father of the child had
tracked. He was Been in a buggy ac-
companied by the little one .Iriving to
ward Dallas.
