Swann Held Without Bail After October Trial Hearing

Not bailed after two State witnesses testified at Joseph W. Swann’s preliminary exam for the Foster killing near Chappell Hill on Oct 9, 1897. Swann refused defense, Simpson and Routt testified to events leading to the shooting, with details of Foster’s actions and the gunfire. The hearing adjourned as Swann remains in custody awaiting grand jury action.

Double Wedding in Hidalgo County Courthouse

Justice Ewing officiated a two pair windy double wedding on Thursday afternoon. Horace Webber with Annie Preston and Solomon Kelly with Jennie Orange, all of Hidalgo, wed for nothing as the county pays no wedding fee. The grooms refused to pay, citing no law on fees and their conscience and finances guided the choice. This marks Justice Ewing’s first two pair windy ceremony.
