General Scott, chief of staff of the
army, brought this word to Secretary
Baker from his conference at El Paso
with General Obregon, war minister
for the Carranza government. Among
the promises made by General Obre
gon were there:
Patrol of 10,000.
Ten thousand selected Mexican troops
were to patrol the territory about Par
ral, and to search diligently for Villa
or his bandits.
A strong Mexican force was to try
to capture raiders in the Big Bend dis
trict and to liberate Deemer, the Ameri
can storekeeper, carried off by the ban
dits.
No Mexican troops were to be moved
from Sonora state through Pulpit Pass
to the rear of General Pershing’s col
umn.
General Scott’s part of the informal
pact did not include any promises of
American troop withdrawal at a defi
nite time.

EVIDENCE ENDS •
IN BIERS CASE;
TO JURYTONIGHT
The defense concluded its testimony
in the J. B. Hiers murder trial at dark
yesterday. Most of the witnesses used
by them were character witnesses. No
effort was made to break down the
case of the state link by link but the
defense contented itself with trying
to affix the important evidence to an
unknown person. It was claimed by
them that Hiers was not in Sylvania
on the night of the murder.
The Case of the State.
The case of the state was substan
tially as follows: They alleged that
Hiers left Augusta in company with
Randall; that at some point on the
way to Sylvania Hiers killed Randall
and later concealed his body in an old
well where it was discovered after
several days by a negro boy. It Is
thought that the body was placed in
the well some twenty-four hours after
Hiers left Augusta. These facts the
state alleges to substantiate with a
large volume of evidence. Hiers denied
all knowledge of the affair.
Augustans Testify.
Chief of Police George P. Elliott, De
tective Sam Roney, and Will Sanders,
a negro boy, all of Augusta, and Depu
tty Sheriff Coursey, of Screven coun
ty, were among the principal witness
es for the sate. The state placed a
number of witnesses on the stand to
day in rebuttal and all evidence was
concluded at the morning session. Ar
guments of attorneys will take up the
afternoon session and the charge of
the court will follow. It Is probable
that the case will reach the Jury Wed
nesday night.
Large crowds have been In attend
ance and the case is being followed
with the greatest Interest by the peo
ple of Screven county. Prior to his
recent trouble Hiers was rather we|j
liked by those who knew him Inti

, Of course I had heard of “The Hill,"
and so yesterday afternoon I boarded
a Monte Sano car and enjoyed my ride
immensely. Just across the aisle from
me a young fellow with a blue serge

smile that won't come off," and 1 didn't

white waist and blue silk wore a soli

the one on his right, with white waist
and brown striped silk. They left, the
car away out in the desert somewhere,
and as they walked off, I thought of
that part of the Irish song which goes,
"a little bit of heaven dropt from out
the sky one day,” and continued my
ride, •
What splendid homes and how beau

has such a reputation. For reasons
best known to myself I do not care at

lock Holmes, Caroline, was my great
grand mother’s third husband's second
cousin, so you see the relationship is
quite close. I think he wore whiskers,
but. I am not guilty, and apart from
that, never delve too deeply into the
past. Bad Idea. We are living today,
not yesterday or tomorrow. Also, I
think the "original” ate artichokes and
drank slmmon beer. I do not. I drink
nothing but H. A S. llrannew, the

of Its own. It has a most delicious
flavor, delightful aroma, with a spark
ling tang that always calls for anoth
er, and Is sold In bottles pasteurized
and sterilized, at soda founts, drug
stores and elsewhere. Just simply, the
drink supreme, and a home product at
that. So you see, In that respect i have
the "original” beaten forty ways for

rising.
Carter was asked whether he had
heard Bailey say after his arrest that
he had a statement for the authori

for. The constable responded that he
did not hear this, but that another
time he did hear Bailey say:

will give you police something to do.”
