VOL.-XIV. NO. 239.
MACON, May 10.—With his sister
sitting at his side fanning him, D. B.
Branam sat in Bibb Superior Court
today, the ghostly contortions of his
face showing that he was learning
for the first time the facts concerning
his wild ride which resulted in the
death of Miss Rosa M. Eubanks here
on the evening of February 14.
Solicitor John M. Ross, in stating
the case to the jury, contended that
a person firing at random on a public
highway, causing the death of pedes
trians, was guilty of murder, and
asked that a verdict of murder be re
turned if the State upheld its con
tentions. The entire tragedy was
gone into in detail. The State put up
witnesses during the entire morning.
The prosecution endeavored to show
that the defendant deliberately aimed
at the young girl on the sidewalk, who
was plainly visible, due to the near
ness of an arc light.
The families of both the defendant
and the deceased girl was present
;throughout the morning. The mother
‘ot Miss Eubanks gave way to tears
'when witnesses testified how the girl
tottered and fell to the sidewalk with
a single groan. Mrs. Eubanks drgw
her heavy veil over her face and turn
ed her back on the court.
The defendant was more composed
during the trial session today than
yesterday, but when the pistol was
introduced in evidence his lips quiv
ered and he turned his head.
Witnesses testified the defendant
was not so drunk that he could not
walk before and after his ride. He
fired his pistol at every street he
crossed and attempted to reload his
pistol once it waAs emptied, witnesses
stated. Also, it was testified, he
wanted to return to the city to get
more liquor after his pistol was taken
from him,
The testimony showed that the de
fendant ordered a taxi in Wall street
alley, entered the car and told the
chauffeur to drive, firing his pistol.
He turned ilnto Second street, fired
through the windshield of a passing
automobile and emptied his pistol at
objects along the street. One of the
bulletg struck Miss !4}uhank:x, killing
her instantly.
The case probably will be completed
Thursday.

Lookouts would hand Frank's Crack
ers another defeat today and get
ahead of the locals in the standing
of the teams.
The game started at 3:30 o'clock,
and a good crowd passed through
the turnstiles to watch the fracas.
Ad Brennan, the pitcher recently
signed by the Crackers, was selected
to hurl for Atlanta today, while “(‘y"‘
Perkins again went back of the rub

The scrappy manager of the Look

work for his clan, with Kitchens on
the receiving end of the battery.

MARATHON, TEXAS, May 10.
Colonel F. W. Sibley, commander
at this base, carried with him
when he left for Boquillas today,
orders to warn border people that
the situation is very tense. He
was instructed to be prepared for
any eventuality and to not:.fdy resi
dents of the Big Bend border re
gions to be likewise prepared.
By WALLACE E. SMITH,
Staff Correspondent of International
News Service,
EL PASO, TEXAS, May 10.—Co
operative patrol of the border by
American and Mexican troops was
proposed to General Scott today by
General Obregon. The Mexican War
Minister told General Scott that he
believed in this way repetitions of the
Columbus and Glen Springs massa
cres will be prevented,
General Obregon's_plan, as proposed
to General Scott, Is to bring a large
number of Mexlcan troops up to the
border and station them at varlous
points, the Americans to do the same.
~ General Stott gave Obregon no as
‘surances as to the attitude of the
‘ United States on the matter. He im
' mediately referred the matter to the
r\\'nr Department at Washington,
Army officers termed the proposition
a 4 move to facilitate the withdrawal
of the American forces from Mexico.
In the meantime, American cavalry
scouts have crossed the border near
Boqulllas, according to dispatches
reaching headquarters today. The
scouts are presumed to be part of
the command of Major Langhorne's
Eighth Cavalry, which has been at
Miller's Ranch, near the border.
Officials declined to say whether the
scouts were merely preceding the
main body of forces or whether they
were only doing scout duty.
Twenty troopers of troop “A”
Fourteenth Cavairy, arrved at Glen
Springs this afternoon to find the
place deserted, according to word
here. Every inhabitant has fled, fear
ful that Mexicans again will come
across the boundary and repeat last
Friday night's murders. The last to
leave the town was Mrs. Dow
Armantrout and her three children.
Realizing that Uncle Sam “means
business,” Ggneral Obregon s seeking
a way in which to withdraw gracefully
the demands of the de facto Govern«
ment that American troops in Mexl
can territory immediately return to
their own country. The action of the
United States Government in ordering
more troops to the border and calling
out the militia of Texas, New Mexico,
and Arizona Is responsible for the
changed attitude of Obregon.
Tension Is Relieved.
The tension was slightly relleved
here today, and it was predicted by
American army officers that the site
uation would continue to improve.
They believe that the Mexican offi
cials, In order to avold intervention,
will now do everything possible to
prevent a break. It is well established
that the representatives of the Amer
fcan Government have explicit in
structions to avold a rupture of rela
tions,
Peaceful settlement of international
difficulties was belleved to be in llfht,
despite the situation in the Boquillas
region, where 300 American troops
were on the border ready to plunge
into Mexico in pursuit of the outlaws
who raided the Big Bend country last
Friday night. Colonel W, F, Sibley,
old Indian fighter, was within a few
miles of the main body of troops
ready to take command. Major Lang
horne, with troops of tne Eighth Cave
alry from Fort Bliss, started from Mil.
ler's Ranch, near Boqulillas, early in
the day for the International boun
dary,
Whether or not the American
‘troops would go across the border at
'this point was problematical. Colo
'nel Sibley, on leaving Marathon for
!th- front, said it would depend on the
‘reports of his scouts,
