onciled to the idea of resigning
the presidency, but. wants to sub
mit his resignation to the new
congress, the body which Presi
dent Wilson, through Mr. Lind,
has declared must not convene.
Huerta’s friends and those in his
cabinet, who are attempting to
induce him to yield, have been
informed that there are certain
measures Congress might adopt
to which the United States
would be unalterably opposed,
and that if any plan devised by
them involves the convening of
congress, it would be well to
sign papers in which should be
set forth exactly what measures j
this new lawmaking body ex- j
pects to pass upon and see to it j
that such measures as are re- j
garded by Washington as objec- j
tionable as excluded.
The statement made by the
minister of finance Wednesday
night that he had been unable to
present Mr. Lind’s message to
General Huerta was verified to
day. The provisional president
had gone on a visit to Tlalapam,
a suburb, without the formality
of notifying his personal friends
or official associates.
It was not until a late hour last
night that those entrusted with
the task of giving him Mr.
Lind s message were able to lo
cate him.

CONDEMNED MAN
MAKES ESCAPE
Arthur Tillman Jumps From
-Moving Train And Eludes
Officers.
Perry, Nov. 14.—“A chance
for life.”
AA ith these words, Arthur
Tillman, aged 21, convicted mur
derer ol his sweetheart, Amanda ;
Stephens, and under sentence to .
be hanged at Paris. Logan coun
ty, March 10, shortly before
midnight hurled himself from
the rear platform of a sleeper
on the Rock Island and escaped
into the woods near Perry.'
AA hen he made hi- sensational
and highly dangerous escape, :
lillman was in the custody of1
Sheriff Cook of Logan county, i
who was bringing the youth to I
the penitentiary at Little Rock I
for safe keeping.
According to Sheriff Cook, j
Tillman and he were in the chair i
car of the Rock Island train and 1
had started back to the sleeper. I
When this coach was reached j
Tillman expressed a wish for a I
drink of water from the cooler |
in the rear of the car. Sheriff j
Cook followed the condemned j
man down the aisle. Tillman was j

running 30 miles an hour, the
officer felt that there was little j
danger of an attempt of escape, j
When the cooler was reached, i
Tillman, after drinking from a i
paper cup. suddenly slipped the j
bolt on the door and stepped out j
to the rear platform. The offi- j
cer, fearing the boy would try to |
kill himself, hastily started to-1
ward him. Tillman slammed the j
car door in his face and vaulted I
the rail of the platform.
The entire country side was j
warned by Sheriff Cook of Till- j
man’s escape when the train
reached this city.
As Tillman jumped over the
rail he called back to the official
that he was “taking a chance for
life.” Those were the last words
heard by the officer.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Nov. 1 1. An
2Cho of the .lack the Shooter

Briones, who was convicted in
Little Rock July 11, 1012, of bur
glary and assault to kill and m m
teheed to 21 years in the peniten
tiary.
The pardon was recommended
jy the penittflgtiarv commission
jy Miss Mary A. Nolen, whose
room he is alleged to have en
ere.k and who declares now that
die believes her identification ot
iiu was a case of mistaken iden
ity; by Rev L. Tomme, chap
ain of the penitentiary, who
ays that he considers him ihor
nighly innocent; by Robert
Rogers, prosecuting attorney,
vho now considers that there is
?rave doubt of his guilt, and
drangest of all, by a petition
dgnecl by 135 other convicts who
lave been in prison with him,
<nd who are convinced that his
mprisonment is a case of jus
dee gone wrong.
H was during the summer of
1912 that the series of crime*
,vere committed which aroused
Tie citv to a high pitch of ex
citemer.i, and which culminateu
in the lulling of a negro name 1
Browi. who seems to have been
guilty cf all the burglaries, as
saults and holdups that were
committed during that time.
Bul numerous other arrests
were made, and among them Da
vid C. Briones, a Mexican, said
to have been an officer in the
rebel army, who had been in
the city only a few days. He
was identified by Miss Nolen as
the man whom she and a girl
friend found in their room one
oight. and who fired upon them
when his presence was discover
ed. His conviction followed soon
afterward, although he has at
all times, steadfastly asserted
his innocence.
