More Witnesses
In Sullivcui Case
(By UNITED PRESS)
Several witnesses have been cal-
led by the government to testify to
the financial standing of Tarrant
County Sheriff Sully Montgomery.
Montgomery is on trial in fed-
eral court in Dallas on charges of
income tax evasion in 1948, '49 and
'50. U. S. District Attorney Frank
Potter says he will prove that the
sheriff bought fur coats and high-
priced cars and spent money far
in excess of his reported income.
The Fort Worth sheriff's trial
is being held in the same court-
room where another Tarrant coun-
ty official, former assistant dist-
rict attorney A. L. Wardlaw, was
convicted of income tax evasion
last week.
Montgomery's attorneys sought
a change of venue on the ground
that the Wardlaw trial would prej-
udice jurors in this case. But the
motion was denied by Federal
Judge T. Whitfield Davidson.
