Dr. Henry North Graves

Death Claims Last Survivor of Little
Band That Buried "Twin Sisters"

     When death sealed the lips of Dr. Henry North Graves of Dallas, Tuesday morning, the last hope of patriotic Texans to recover the "Twin Sisters," two cannon, relics of the Texas Republic and later of the civil war, was abandoned. The last survivor of the group of five men who buried the relics during the civil war, that they might not fall into the hands of Federal troops and be turned against the sons of those who had cherished them for the part they played in gaining Texas' independence, breathed his last Tuesday morning at 8:30 o'clock without designating the place where the cannon were buried. Mr. Graves died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J. N. Bigbee, 409 North Haskell avenue.
     The "Twin Sisters" gifts to the Texas Republic by a woman's society of Cincinnati, O., were buried in the vicinity of Harrisburg, Texas, during the latter days of the civil war. They played an important part in the early history of the Texas Republic and were used by General Sam Houston against the Mexican president and General Santa Anna. During the Civil war, the Twin Sisters were in possession of a party of 72 men who garrisoned Galveston Island. Hard-pressed by the Yankees, Dr. Graves, with three other soldiers and a negro, slipped them from the garrison during the dead of night and carried them to the vicinity of Harrisburg, where they were buried in a field. Dr. Graves was the last survivor of the party.
     Born in Plains Hill, Tenn., July 20, 1846, Dr. Graves moved to Texas in 1860, settling near Gonzales. He was the son of Rev. and Mrs. H. A. Graves, his father a Methodist minister in Tennessee. At the outbreak of the civil war, Dr. Graves joined the Confederate forces and served as a dispatch rider in Forest's Cavalry, until detailed with 71 other men to garrison Galveston Island. He was discharged from the Confederate army immediately after the surrender of Lee at Appomattox court house. He served in Col. Man's Regiment, also, in a company organized in Dallas county and commanded by Captain Cunningham.
     Dr. Graves was married to Miss Susan Davidson, December, 2, 1869, and studied medicine and afterward practiced at Gonzales, Seguin and Georgetown. He was considered one of the best authorities in the state of anti-toxins and traveled over Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas, where he taught serum-therapy.
     Three children were born to the union of Dr. Graves and his wife, who was a sister of the late Judge W. I. Davidson, of Austin. The children are Mrs. J. N. Bigbee, of Dallas, Miss Fannie Graves, also of Dallas, and Harry Graves, of Georgetown. All survive him. He is also survived by one brother, J. W. Graves of Houston, and one nephew, Judge Allen Graves, of Austin.
     Dr. Graves came to Dallas five years ago from Georgetown.
     Funeral services will be held at 7:30 o'clock Tuesday evening at the Grace Methodist Church, with Dr. W. D. Bradfield, officiating. The body will remain at the church all night Tuesday night and will be forwarded by the Geo. W. Loudermilk Undertaking Company to Georgetown, Wednesday morning, for burial. He was a member of the Grace Methodist Church, and of the Masonic order at Georgetown. He will be buried with Masonic honors.
     Pallbearers will be J. H. Taylor, T. H. Morrow, W. H. Lamar, J. J. Knause, C. E. Sylvester, V. J. Branon, E. S. Fudge, W. O. Forester, W. C. Temple, R. R. Jackson, R. Hill, C. M. Sandell and Brooks Mays.
     Only recently, Dr. Graves expressed a desire that he would live long enough to make a trip to Harrisburg and aid in recovering the Twin Sisters. Patriotic Texas organizations have endeavored for years to have the cannon dug up and placed at the state capitol at Austin, but on account of his health, Dr. Graves has not been able to make the trip and lead the searchers. During the Confederate Reunion in Houston last year, Dr. Graves escorted a group of veterans to the field where the guns are concealed, but made no effort to determine the exact spot where they were buried.
     Dr. Graves intended to make a search for the cannon if financial aid could be extended him, and plans were being made to introduce a resolution in the Texas legislature at the time of his death asking the necessary appropriation. The late Senator J. C. McNealus was among those who promised to support the movement.

SAYS MAN DIED
FROM WOUND
SELF-INFLICTED

     J. E. Watkins, found dead in his bed at 3013 South Boulevard early Thursday morning, came to his death from a gun shot wound, self-inflicted, according to a verdict rendered by Justice Sam Barnett, who viewed the body at the Weiland Undertaking Parlors.
     Detective Captain Will R. Moffitt, who investigated the case, said that, in his opinion, the case was a suicide, but an investigation is being conducted. All efforts on the part of Detective John Blanton to discover the place where the pistol, a .38 calibre was purchased, had failed at noon Thursday.
     The footprints about the window near where Watkins' head rested on the blood stained pillow, have been measured and the officers have not entirely abandoned the theory that the man was murdered.

Tried to Borrow Gun.
     Mrs. Houston Watkins, daughter-in-law of the dead man, informed the officers Thursday morning, that her father-in-law had recently tried to borrow a shotgun owned by her husband. It was also learned that Watkins had been found in his room a few weeks ago with the gas stove turned on and the windows and doors closed.
     It was reported to the police that financial reverses had caused despondency recently, and that Watkins had talked rather freely to friends about his troubles.
     He is survived by three sons, Henry Watkins of Nevada, Houston Watkins of Dallas, and H. L. Watkins of Mexia. Watkins came to Dallas from Royce City about a year ago. Funeral arrangements are being held up pending the arrival of relatives.
     Early indications pointed to murder in the case, but after the investigation by the police, and the verdict of Judge Sam Barnett, this theory was partly abandoned.
     The body was discovered by Mrs. Lydia Christelles, who entered the room to light the gas stove. The pistol was lying on the bed beside the body.
     The screen window at the head of the bed was open and underneath the window, there were footprints leading from the front walk.

DALLAS MAN IS
KILLED BY FAST

The body was horribly mangled.
     Tatum, up to a short time ago, was employed as house officer at the Southland hotel, and had lived in Dallas for many years. It is believed he has a daughter in El Paso.

RESTRAIN JESS
HASSELL FROM
OPERATING CAR

     A temporary injunction, ordering Jess Hassell, part owner of the Dallas Baseball club of the Texas League, "to desist and refrain from operating an automobile in the city and county of Dallas," was issued late Monday afternoon by District Judge E. b. Muse of the Forty-fourth court.
     At noon Tuesday, the injunction had not been served on Hassell, although Chief Deputy R. L. Petty, personally, was attempting to locate Hassell.
     The penalty for violation of the injunction, after it is served, consists only of contempt of court, and can not exceed three days' confinement in jail, in addition to a substantial fine.
     The action of the court followed the filing by Assistant District Attorney D. E. Coffman of a petition seeking to permanently restrain Hassell from operating a motor vehicle.
     The court's order will stand until a hearing is held on the issues raised, while the case will not be set for trial until attorneys for Hassell file a motion to terminate the order.
     The district attorney's petition charged that Hassell was in the habit of becoming intoxicated, and while in such condition, drove an automobile in a reckless and dangerous manner.
     The application lists a number of accidents in which Hassell is alleged to have figured. The petition alleges that on Nov. 20, 1920, he ran over and killed Mrs. S. E. Hamm; that on Feb. 23, 1921, he ran down and injured Mrs. Watt Hartmann; that on Feb. 23, Mrs. E. T. Rudolph was injured as a result of Hassell's reckless driving; that on Nov. 8, 1921, he was arrested while driving a car while intoxicated, and that he gave the name of John Smith; that on Dec. 9, he injured H. E. Bower while driving an auto, and that on the same date, he also ran into a car in which Mrs. Ruth Ballard was riding, seriously injuring her.
     Jess Hassell faces trial Friday morning in Judge T. A. Work's county court at law on two charges of aggravated assault with a motor vehicle, filed against him in connection with the automobile accident, Dec. 9, in which H. E. Bower and Mrs. Ruth Bullard were injured.
The case will be personally prosecuted by District Attorney Maury Hughes, aided by Assistant District Attorney C. D. Bell.
     These are the most recent charges to be filed against Hassell, who is president of the Dallas Athletic Association and part owner of the Dallas baseball club of the Texas League.

Business Man Who
Came To America
From Dublin Dies.

     William J. Kinsella, 46 years old, a native of Dublin, Ireland, who came to Dallas with his mother and two sisters when he was but 12 years old, and who founded the Kinsella Hat Company, which was dissolved several months ago, died Tuesday night before the charter had been granted for a new and bigger hat company.
     Though in broken health, with the failing of the company, at the helm of which, he had stood for fifteen years, he did not lose faith and went about re-organizing the new company, which he was to lead. Over-exertion brought on heart trouble, and during the day, Mr. Kinsella remained in bed, but kept hoping that he would live to see the return of the charter, which is in Austin.
     Becoming suddenly worse, he died late Tuesday afternoon at the family residence, 5318 Rowena street.
     The story of his struggle upward in business is well known in Dallas. Two older brothers preceded the little family to Dallas. In 1888, accompanied by his other and two sisters, he arrived in Dallas from Dublin, and immediately began work in Sanger Bros. store, where he rose to the head of the hat department and later bought this branch from the Sanger Company and organized his own company.
     The father died before the birth of William J. Kinsella, and as soon as the family could amass enough funds, they left Ireland and headed straight for Dallas, then only a promising little town in the Southwest.
     Mr. Kinsella's wife, who was Miss Ida Hollaway, three sons, William J. Jr., Charles and Robert Kinsella, and two daughters, Miss Julia and Sarah Elizabeth; one brother, T. J., and two sisters, Mrs. C. H. Wilson and Mrs. A. D. Fraser, all of Dallas, survive him.

Member of French
Colony is Buried

 MRS. CESARINE REMOND

     Mrs. Cesarine Santerre Remond, 84 years old, one of the surviving members of La Reunion, the little French colony which flourished in prospect years ago along the Trinity River, was laid to rest in the old French cemetery, two miles west of Dallas, on the Fishtrap road, Monday afternoon. Her body was borne to the grave by six of her nephews, John, Leo, Bert, Charles and the two Georges Santerre, cousins, of Dallas.
     Mrs. Remond died Sunday night at her home, 713 West Tenth street, in Oak Cliff. She was born at Blois, France. With her parents, she embarked at La Havre in 1856, a girl of 17, and began the long journey to the Utopia established two years before by Victor Considerant, the French engineer exile, who sought to establish a new State as a sort of social democracy.
     She and her brothers and a sister -- Emanuel, Germain and Gustav Santerre of Dallas, and Mrs. Lucy Voirin of Irving -- lived through the hardships of the little settlement, which was founded upon the unproductive soil from which rock is now quarried for the making of Portland cement in the Cement City neighborhood.
     With them, she saw the passing of the dream that was to have solved human problems as Considerant saw them in the early half of the nineteenth century, and upon which, he had based his political, economic and social philosophies.

FACES HOMICIDE
CHARGE IN FATAL
SUNDAY ACCIDENT

_______

Accused Denies He Drove Car Which Struck
Children, Claiming He Was Only Specta-
tor; Says He Picked Up Boy Victim.

     Arrested early Tuesday morning by deputy sheriffs as the driver of the death car which crushed the life out of George Judy, aged 8, and injured two other children on the Orphans' Home road Sunday at noon, O. D. Bohannon, 31 years old, farmer living near Buckner Orphans Home, was formally charged with negligent homicide and failure to stop, in Justice of the Peace F. H. Alexander's court.
     The failure to stop complaint charged Bohannon with refusing aid to Woodrow Wilson Smith, 10-year-old companion of young Judy. The Smith child was seriously injured, suffering internal injuries and a possible fracture of the spine. The negligent homicide charge accuses the farmer of responsibility for the death of Judy.
     The accused, who was taken into custody by Deputy Sheriff Hilliard Brite, protested his innocence at the sheriff's office.

Says He Was Witness.
     "I saw the accident, but had no part in it," he declared. "A man driving toward Dallas in a car similar to mine, struck the children while I was about 200 yards away from them. He passed me on his way to Dallas. I was going in the other direction toward my home."
     Bohannon was arrested after Deputy Sheriffs Hal Hood, Dave Bradshaw and Brite had worked on the case for about 24 hours. Deputy Hood signed the complaints lodged against him.
     The accused was lodged in the Dallas county jail, the district attorney's office announcing that bail of $2,500 would be asked in each case.

Were Picking Flowers.
     The Judy child was killed and young Smith and Johnnie F. Brann, aged 11, were injured when a car struck them on Orphans Home road at Beeman avenue. The parents of the Judy child are Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Judy, 5619 Beeman street, and those of Smith and Brann are Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Smith, 2628 Kinmore and Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Brann, 1625 Kinmore street, respectively.
     The children, with several others, had been picking flowers and craw fishing. They were hit as they were returning home.
     Bohannon declared Tuesday, that after the accident, he put the Judy child in his car and started to the hospital with him, at the request of several people, who witnessed the accident. "After I had driven a few yards, my car went dead and the boy was transferred to another," Bohannon declared. "After that, I drove on home."

     The accident occurred seven miles south of town on the Hutchins road, while the Thompsons were returning from the Trinity Rod and Gun club at night.
     Miss Lois Thompson, for herself and as next friend to Atlas Thompson, her brother, asked $25,000 damages for the death of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Atlas Thompson. Charles B. Thompson, husband of Mrs. Alice Thompson, filed suit for a similar sum.
     They charge the train was running at a highly dangerous rate of speed and did not blow its whistle for the crossing.

     "I wanted to get hold of a car and some money," he is said to have told the police in his statement, which named a negress as an accomplice in the killing. He said, however, that he has not seen the woman since a few days after the killing.
     Reed was lured to his death with a mysterious phone call for a rent car. His body, badly mutilated, was found in a gravel pit southeast of Oak Cliff the morning after the call was received. The car, stained with blood, was found abandoned in Fort Worth.

Plotted With Woman.
     The murder was planned by Twitty and the woman two days before the fatal call was telephoned to the rent car concern that employed Reed, the black is said to have told officers.
     "We planned to call up the rent car company and have a man sent to an Oak Cliff address, and then knock him in the head and steal his car," Twitty declared.
     Twitty, according to the officers, told how Reed was sent to the address in Oak Cliff. Twitty and the woman got into the car and gave directions to drive. Reed was in the front seat, Twitty and the woman were in the back.
     A hand ax obtained at the house of a negro family in Oak Cliff was hidden under the skirt of the negress. A short distance from where the couple boarded the car, Twitty, according to the officers, struck Reed over the head with the hand ax. Taking the body of the slain negro to the gravel pit, the couple threw it out of the car. They then drove to Forth Worth, where it was decided to abandon the car because it was blood stained.

Left for Strawn.
     Remaining in Fort Worth during the night of January 25 and part of January 26, the negroes then made their way to Strawn. The woman left and Twitty told the police that he had no idea where she was.
     Handcuffed to the officers, Twitty was brought to Dallas, where he was placed in the city jail Tuesday, shortly before noon.
     City Detectives Phillips and Simmons, who have worked constantly on the case since Reed's body was discovered, made the arrest.
Twitty is 24 years old.

Cherished Desire to Revisit Old
Country on Eve of His Departure

SIMPLE FUNERAL IS
END FOR STRANGER

______

SALVATION ARMY CONDUCTS
SERVICE FOR BARBER, WHO
DIES SUDDENLY

BY MARSHALL SMITH

     With the failure of relatives to claim the body of John Speahl, or Spahl, 50 years old, a barer who died here Dec. 7, members of the Salvation Army gathered in the chapel of the Ed C. Smith & Bro. Undertaking Company at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon and conducted a simple funeral service for him. Thirteen Salvationists, most of them women, were present.
     All that is definitely known about John Speahl is that he was a god barber and a stranger in the city.
     He had worked for George Hawthorne, 1330 Peak street, near Bryan, in East Dallas. It was near there he fell dead after a hearty meal. Before coming to Dallas, he lived in Los Angeles, where at one time, he was the owner of property valued at $50,000.

Can't Locate Relatives.
     All efforts of Ed C. Smith & Bro. Undertaking Company, the Salvation Army and George Hawthorne to locate relative have failed. His widow has not been found. His parents, who are believed to be in 'Germany, have not been located. His luggage, found at his rooming place, 4506 Bryan street, failed to reveal detailed information about him.
     Taking his text from the twenty-first and twenty-second chapters of the Book of Revelation, Col. Edwy[n] White, commanding officer of the Salvation Army in Dallas, spoke of the all-encompassing power of God, the Great Comforter. He read:
     "And God shall wipe away all fears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away. * * * And he said, unto me, it is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is thirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be my son."
     Somberly garbed, the women of the army stood, dressed in black, except for the ribbon of red on their bonnets, and sang. Twanging music of vibrant guitar strings was the accompaniment. Commandant Rosa Goblenz and her sister, Ethel Goblenz, sang a duet, the chorus of which, was joined in by the audience.

Simple Service at Grave.
     Abruptly, the service at the chapel closed. Employes of the undertaking company were emergency pallbearers. The procession to Grove Hill Cemetery was made up of three automobiles.
     Simplicity marked the ceremony at the grave in Potters' Field. The Salvationists sang, Col. White read the Salvation Army ritual, in which he committed the body to the ground, "Earth to earth, ashes to ashes; dust to dust, in sure and certain hope the resurrection to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ, who shall change our vile body that it may be like unto His glorious body, according to the mighty working, whereby He is able to subdue all things to Himself."
     Col. White's wife played and the service was over.
     Two sprays of pink and red carnations, sent by the Salvation Army, were the only flowers.
     A small, white, wooden marker bearing the man's name and the date of his death was placed as the cemetery workmen filled the grave.
     Costs of the funeral were borne equally by the undertaking company and the Salvation Army.
     This is the second "unknown" person buried in Dallas this year. On Feb. 10, 1924, Mrs. R. H. Waiders or Waiters was buried in Oak Cliff Cemetery by Lamar & Smith Undertaking Company.
