Motion For Sew Trial Is Refused and Lawyers Announce Intention to Appeal. {The State. Greenville, Sept. 4.?George W. Tid"well, aged 53, was found guilty of manslaughter today after the jury had deliberated nearly 24 hours and was recommended to the mercy of the court. Judge Prince thereupon sentenced Tid well, who, on March 12, 1914, killed Emmett Walker, to serve seven years in the State penitentiary or upon-the public works of Greenville, the prisoner being left free to take his choice. I The verdict was announced by the jury upon the convening of court this morning. The 12 men had been out since 10:30 Friday morning. It is saH that until the last few minutes six of the jurors held out for acquittal. This was the second time Tidwell has been tried. In May, 1914, he was tried and sentenced to 12 (years. His sentence was subsequently reduced to seven years by the governor. Counsel for Tidwell announced that an appeal would 'be taken. Judge Prince overruled the motion ifor a new trial. He admitted Tidwell to bail in the sum of $5,000, pending the next session of the supreme court. x One of the grounds for appeal will be the allegation .that some one spoke to the jury as they were going into a hotel for supper. Jurors admitted n offainct TiHnroll ,Hllt IlCCti illg <X ICUiUlU USU11IU1, xiuovi*, vua 6ay that they paid no attention to it Still another point is the allegation that Tidwell could not legally be tried for murder, inasmuch as his sentence iad been commuted. Counsel contend he should have been tried for manslaughter. Wronged the Woman. Wiley was in tears and hubby looked .gloomjy. "Oh, dear! Oh, dear!" moaned wifey. "If wish I'd taken poor mother's advice and never married you." "Did your mother try to stop your marrying me?" he demanded. Wifey nodded violently. A look of deep remorse crossed hubby's face.

Late today a band of 13 Mexicans ?as located south of San Benito. A J detachment of cavalry was sent in search and it developed that the Mexicans were headed for the Rio Grande. 1 Fort Brown then notified a detachment of infantry hidden in an advan' tageous position near the Rio Grande, five miles from Brownsville, that the i / * Dana probably would come in that direction. Simultaneously a detachment 1 of cavalry under Lieut. Crittenburger 5 left Brownsville for the vicinity of the ' ' hidden infantrymen. :The cavalry ar- gk 1 rived just in time to prevent the Mexi- * * cans crossing, -but a citizen spoiled the ~ " game biy firing a shot. The Mexicans L thus warned promptly hid in the brush. At sundown as the cavalry and infantrymen were 'being stationed along the 5 .bank of the river to prevent Mexicans 5 crossing the stream, five of the band were seen and 13 are known to be * there.
