county were called on the stand to
road the articles published in their
papers at the tine of the killing of
Pet Brown at Cisco on May 5.
The defense nought to sow that
every newaver in Eastland county
has given wiaV publicity of the kill
ing and of the first trial of Markey
here. The first witness called was
A. U. O'Flarety. puhliser of the CWo
American a weekly newspaper with
a circulation 'f between 1 4X and
l."0. The defense introduivd as evi-
dence the papers carrying the story
of Brown's death and thi- story of a
mass meetinc called at ?eY on Snn-
iay evening. Maj 5. following the
death of Brown. In this evidence the
resolution of condolence adopted by a
meeting of the William Butts (wst
of the American legion was read in
which it stated that one of the State's
most loved and best thought-of men
had been killed and that unnecessa-
rily Ihi cross -examination State Attor-
ney Joe Hwrkett asked the witness
O'r'larcty if he desired to see Star-
key sent to prinou regardless of law
and evidence.
"No" was his answer.
O'Flarety said that he was a
Brown sympathizer. In the story car-
ried ;n h:s paier. the witness stated
that the lads as a new story only
was published and not o written as
to create ill feeling against Starkey.
At this point the def-'ii-e attorney
asked the witness if he uid not ki.ow
that former County Attorney .1 I..
Stames. who was a speaker at the
mass meeting served a term when
road work was going on here and
which resulted in considerable litiga-
tion. The defense sonyht to show that tbe
mass niet.rg was ruled by Siamc.
who had lined up a certain party to
prejudice the citixenship of Kaslland
county aga.nst the defendant Starkey
Mr. O'Flarety stated that he did
not see any raon why in a county
of 10jt(t population that a jury could
not b chosen that would not be preju-
diced against the defendant.

The witness answered "yes" but
aid t'ie klan sentiment was about
equally divided in Cisco.
Here the political campaign for the
mayor of t'ivo was brought in bv
the defense in which they sought to i
show that a strong campaign was un
der way prior to the murder of Brown
and that Brown was supporting Mavor

A verbatim transcript of the pro-
ceedings follows:
Now. gentlemen there has been a
good deal of newspaper discussion
about what the district attorney is
going to ao in presenting matters to
this grand jury and there is also a
possibility though not a very great
probability in my opinion of some
person who is under investigation or
ci friends or somebody acting for
kin to undertake knowing that the
grand jury was coming back tn
sneak to xoni p member of th. rrand
jury about prosecution of oil frauds.1
H any person has spoken to any of
Mr- Stillman: Jndge a eonple ef

is presumed is going to be brought
before this grand jury by Mr. Joa
Lagle. Mr. r.agle stated well prob

reference to the grand jury would be
made by me before it and regardless
of who the man might he. if he was
guilty of the offense be would be
billed by me if the evidence so showed
it.
The Conrt: What is your name?
Mr. Sullmaa: Sullman ia my same
sir.
The Court: That conversation was
with reference to the guilt or inno-
cence of some individual?
Mr. Stillman: The conversation
was with reference to one shall I
state bis nsm(e?
The Court: Well. I am inclined to
think perhap you better not. because
it might oreiudice the case. I will let
' " lter. but I want
w just the general features.
Mr. Stillma:. ; From the brief state-
ments that were said before the con-
versation could be stopped by me
The Court i interrupting ) : Tou

ters into consideration la that the

The Court: That was all that waa
stated to yon ?
Mr. Sulknan: Tea air. ail the re-
quest that was made.
The Court: Was there any state-
ment made a to whether or not the
man was guilty or not gouty?
Mr. Stillman: No. sir.
The Court: No effort to state what
the facts were about the case.'
Mr. Stillman: No. sir other than
this might be interpreted to be some-

Ilia Court: Mr. Eagle appear aa
representing this defendant?
Mr. Stillman: No air he stated
that he did not; did not represent him
and did not expect to represent him.
The Court: As a friend of this de-
fendant? Mr. Stillman: Tea sir.
The Court: Appeared as a friend of
this defendant?
Mr. Stillman: Appeared aa he sug-
gested aa an act of mercy on Ma part
toward tnis nan whom he ten waa be-
ing persecuted.
The Court: Much obliged Mr.
SHUroan. Ia there any other member
of tke grand jury who has bees ap-
proached by any person? I will come
back to that matter in a moment. Mr.
Stillman. I am much obliged to you
for telling me. It is proper for you
to have dou it.
Now if during the course of your
investigation any individual under-
takes Jo speak to you about these
investigations why that should be re-
ported to the district attorney. Tbe
grand jury :s perhaps nut exactly like
a petit jury in that no person has
a right to speak to it without con-
tempt. 1 am not sure of that but it
certainly is a better practice for grand
jurors not to be interviewed indi-
vidually because take in this instance
here suggestion has been dropped in-
to the mind of a juror with reference
to a particular man to be investigat-
ed that that man is Being persecuted
and that suggestion is very much out
of place and ought not to have been
made under any circumstances to a
member of the investigating body that
the government relies upon to present
these matters to. Aud if anything of
that kind occurs again to any person.
1 want you as Mr. Stillman has done
to state it to the district attorney for
their information and action. If the
conrt were here you could state it to
me bat 1 will probably not be here
during part of your investigation. I
am inclined to think what does the
district attorney thiuk wtih reference
to the niatter of the disclosure of Mr.
Stillman being made complete? The
court has no objection to it . . .
Mr. Pbelps: It occurs to' me that
we have a full panel of the grand jury
and if Mr. Stillmau should feel that
that has had any possible effect on
him in any way. he shouldn't vote oti
that in any way . . .
(The court interrupting): I don't
mean to influence Mr. Stillman. 1
think Mr. Stillman should stay on tbe
grand jury. That was not what was
in my mind but whether in view ot
the statement that he has made tbe
grand jury ought also to know what
it is whether they ought not to have
the same knowledge Mr. Stillman has.
Of course he could tell it in the grand
jury room instead of prejudicing the
man. I don't want to prejudice the
man but It ought not to lie in Mr.
Stilhnan's mind and any of the others
in my opinion. If the governmetn be-
lieves auy prejudice lies in having Mr.
Stillman stating the name I won't re
quire it. Otherwise I will. If you
can see any reason at all why the
procedure and procesa of the court
which is more important than auy
particular offender should be hedged
about by concealment and reserve.
Mr. Phelps: I am rather inclined
to think if tbe court please it might
be better not to disclose the name. It
will not do any particular good.
The Court: I will state this to
the grand jury at the request of the
government. I will not have the name
disclosed but I want the grand jury
to be careful not to permit that fact
which will inevitably come to the
grand jury in the course of the in-
vestigation because Mr. Eagle's con-
nection has been shown with it and
they will be bound to know of course.
But. I don t want the grand jury to
be prejudiced against the man because
of the act of his friend and indict
him if he ought not to be indicted. 1
do not want the grand j'iry to be in-
fluenced at all by the fai t that a man
has been indicted in different other
places at different other time. That
is not rour business. If the man is
guilty of an offense triable in this dis-
trict he should be indicted; if he is
not he should not be. Those sug-
gestions which I think have been verv
unfortunately made ought to be as
far as possible discarded absolutely
either for him or against him and
treat his case if you know who he
is. and I am inclined to think that
you ought to know for the reason
that until it is known who was th
man referred to every defendant will
be under the onus of having done it.
Mr. Phelps: It occurs to me. it
might rsi the question of prejudicing
the grand jury against him. that would
be the only reas.vn. I can se how it
mia-ht affect the investigation as to
some other defendant. It cuts both
ways.
The Conrt: I think that is the dif-
ficulty about it. and if this court is in
the position where it arm is power-
less to protect the jurors from being
approached and not talked to because
it might affect some nan you might
just as wed close up the court and let
tneas go Dome. ihe effect of it is'
going to be the other way. every juror !
is going to think Stillman has been i
talking about some other man until!
they find out who it actually is.
Mr. Holden: Mr. Phelns asked me I
whether w thought the name should
be disclosed or not. and he and I came
to the coociueion that possibly if that
were made public now this man migbt
assign that as error and claim that he
had been prejudiced by presenting bis
name pnbliclv.
The Court: Well if that is the law.
we might jnst as well find it out now.

Mr. Holden: I think It might be far
more agreeable. f toe government to

now.
The Court: If what has been done

anybody; if it haa been wrongtg done

ter ought not to be kept secret. Mr.'
StillmaiK the court wants te commend

until yoa haw found eut I will ash
you to stake to the court what man
is supposed to have been rueutinned
to yen. I doa't know who is) beia-
investigated. or what men will prob
and be indicted.
Mr. Stillman: Mr. S. E. J. Cex.
The Court WeU now all right
now gentlemen of the grand jury if
Mr. S. K. J. Cor ia to be presented
to you I do not Know the district
attorney will know and in due time
you will know and if he is to bv pre-
sented to you. If he has been in-
dicted in evefry district and every di-
vision ef the ("nited States it is upon
a theory which ouly the trial can tell
whether it is correct or not. because
the grand jury does not try a man
when it indicts him. If that is the
case he ought to be indicted and
those considerations have no place
whatever in the determination of a
jury's verdict. If the man is being
persecuted of course evidence v
that kind is developed and those
agents of the government who are
persecuting" him are subject theiaj)
selves to action but tne quiet amp-
ping of a statement of that kind the
court vigorously disapproves if not
further and the jury must not in auy
manner consider whether Cox is
prejudiced or not prejudiced by pre-
vious indictments. Now. on the other
hand if Mr. Cox is presented to this
grand jury as you value your oaths as
honorable men. don't permit the
action of some friend or acquaintance
of his to cause him to be indicted if
tbe evidence don't justify it. The
court sits here to indict men fairly
that is all. and no other way and
the process of this court and the ma-
chinery of this court must not be
even in the slightest impeded. Inter-
fered with or diverted by covert sug-
gestions made to individual grand
jurors by anybody.
Now. gentlemen the court is going
to charge you upon the character of
cases for which you have been brought
back to re-nime yonr labors.
(The court then gave his charge.)
IRISH ELECTION
UNUSUALLY DULL
DT'BMN. Aug. 27 The elector-
ato of the Irish Free State went to
the polls today in 2!) constituencies for
the election of the 150 members of
the new Iail Eireann and up to the
la -t tbe election uiaiutain the unique
character of the previous campaign
and were quiet and orderly almost
to dullness. This was particularly tbe
case in Publin. while reports from
the provinces teD a simdar tale with
trifling exceptions in a few casex.
where enthusiasm outran discretion.
The universal verdict is that this
ha' been the quietest election in Irish
history. There was no excitement
no laughter at the polling booths in
Iublin. Judging from appearances
the public is taking only small in-
terest in the affair and the polling
has not been heavy.
Civil guards and others responsible
for keeping order were at their posts
but were? not required in this model
election and seemingly there has been
only the very smallest amount of in-
timidation personation or ' 'Uipts at
personation this being du. to the
heavy penalties provided.
