In Sheriff's Charge?Henry J. Brown and Edward R. McDonald Held Pending Coroner's nlvestigaL tion. Charleston, Oct. 18.?"The court can not discharge the defendants, but when a man is charged with murder his place is in the county jail," said Judge Mendel L. Smith in the Charleston county court room today at the conclusion of the habeas corpus proceedings brought to determine why Henry J. Brown and Edward R. I McDonald were being held in the city , jail. McDonald and Brown were ar1 rested by the Charleston police immed" iately following the fight in the city ; Democratic executive committee head( quarters at King and George streets | early Friday morning. <?T 4- ?~: * ~ j: i A i? i am iiul iu uisi'iiar^c int* defendants. I am going to commit I them to the county jail pending the coroner's investigation. Take charge of the men, Mr. Sheriff," Judge Smith added. Continuing his ruling Judge Smith ^ said: "Any officer, or even citizen, has the right to arrest any one who commits a felony in his view or who receives certain information that a felony has been committed and in making such an arrest must take the person arrested before a judge or magistrate to be dealt with according to ? law. , "He is allowed a reasonable time within which to do this. Without, of course, passing on the merits of the cause, the court can not say that the ; information was not sufficient to jus, tify the arrest or that the parties have been held an unreasonable time. and they are now before me to be L dealt with according to law." 1 MEXICAN BANDITS 1 HOLD UP A TRAIN. i Brownsville, Oct. 19.?Inspired by . race hatred as well as a desire for loot 20 Mexicans, claiming to be followers ' of Louis DeLa Roca, leader of the soealled Texas revolution, held up and . robbed a train near Oimitto. The result is three dead and five ' wounded. It is believed the bandits escaped 3 into Mexico. As the bandits fired on the train - they shouted "Viva Pisano Vica Car ranza." Pisano is a co-leader with Rosa. Brownsville, Oct. 19.?Mexic&n bandits near Olimite held up and robbed a passenged train on the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad early today, 2 seven miles north of here. They killed { two persons and wounded three. The dead are: II. II. Kendell, engineer b on the train and an unidentified UnitV ed State cavalryman. The injured are Dr. E. S. McCain, a Cameron county physician, probably fatall> shot, Harry Vallage and P. E. Moran, f i conductor. IIow much loot they obj tained is unknown. A discharged soldier appeared at " ; Olimite shortly after midnight. He 1 j reported the train had been fired upon j'! and several killed. The sheriff and possee started in au' i tomobiles. A special train with two r i companies of infantry started. Calvary troops left soon afterward fol; lowed by a truckload of infantry. l he first detinue information at j - Fort Brown said bandits numbering j ,70 to 80 nu'led a roil from the track! ' i and engine and baggage car went into j s the ditch. Then the Mexicans looted the train. pi A long trestle near the wreck was! fired, after the train was held up and : 1 I nearly destroyed. This hindered the, - j troops so the bandits had time to es- j ! cape into the brush. Passengers reaching here on a relief j I i train said after that tiie train stopped r the Mexicans poured into the coaches : shouting "'Viva Pi.vana" and comj nenced shooting at passengers. 8 ' Pisana is the supposed leader of the, - socalled "Texas revolution" organized . , under the "Plan of San Diago" which . last year contemplated ihe seizure of t border States and returning of them to Mexico. The Mexicans cut th" telephone lines between here and Villa * Vucva preventing communication with troops at the scene of the hold-up. _ f point or the victim was at a lower s range from some cause, than the one j who held the gun. Doubtless a good a explanation will be made of the oc' currence. as all fiv" are close friends * and seem to lie the only ones present. i Sheriff Rector arrested the five * hoys and carried them to his home , ! last night under arrest. It was near 4 o'clock in the afternoon that Sheriff Rector received a 5 j call from West Greenville, stating that the five young men had assaulted and seriously cut up a Greek, or . some other alien, in that locality. . He sent out Officers Cieorgc King and ? : E. H. Claybourne, who failed to find a them. An hour later the sheriff rea cei'ved a hurry call to the "Ape Yard," 3 which stated that Bill Simms had been shot and fatally wounded. He o called for the Ramseur-McAfee am. e I bulance to carry the wounded man to - i the hospital and went out for the e men suspected of the shooting. n At. Jasper Kelley's livery stable, l.i just a< the end of Buncombe street, [1 , near the street car switch, he found il the wounded man and had him s rushed to the hospital. He arrested Cliff Necley an<* .?
