John Marburger, Fayette County
Attorney, the First of throe state
attorneys to make a final argu-
ment, told the jurors that Ross
planned the place and time of the
May 25 roadside slaying in which
Mr. and Mrs Willard York, their
son, John, 0, and York's aged mo-
ther were victims.
"He planned to get them all. He
planned it so there would be no-
body able to say that he did it.
And then, when he found his plans
had not worked out, he knew
where to go," Marburger continued.
He referred to the York daughter,.
Ann, 13, only survivor of the am-
bush and star witness against
Ross, as "Orphan Ann" and, later
as "Orphan Annie."
The doctor, Marburger said, went
to the San Antonio police station
and “he knew who to ask for. How
to answer questions and he knew
enough to ask to phone for a
lawyer."
"if you're going to stop people
doing things like that, you have
to be just as hard as they are,”
he declared, appealing to the jur-
ors to impose the penalty of death.
“You’d best put your foot on
things like this — and put it on
hard — or you’ll have other people
like Litte Orhpan Annie here," he
said, pointing to the little girl, sit-
ting nearby.
Julius Schleyer, New Brauntels
attorney on the defense staff,
took the next turn. The York fam-
ily massacre, he said, was “a tra-
gedy unequalled in the history of
Texas. It to a complicated affair
that can be understood only by
the whole record." .
He quoted a biblical passage:
“For man is borne of woman and
to full of trouble."
