Hut it wasn't as simple as all
that. Chick's voice wasn't good
enough. Too many young fellows
had the same crooning style; there
was no originality to his mannet. N
Only Bradley’s influence kept him
from being let loose altogether.
They gave him a job leading the
stock quotations every day—a job
which required no great show of
diction or style. Hut it meant
money, and both Connie and Chiek
ate. Which was something.
But Connie stin had faith. She
began to plan a series of broad-
casts in which Chiek could be fea-
tured. Good. straight comedy that
would evoke “belly" laughs from the
air audiences. It was to concern a
dumb vaudeville comedian.

Williams also declared in his
affidavit that he discussed the
matter in Gilmer with Jack
Richardson and others whose
names he did not recall, “each
of whom,” he said “paid Dr.
Jarrell 850 at Tyler.” Some of
those who contributed were put
to work and others were not.
“At Gladewater, I contacted
others and some of these paid
money to Dr. Jarrell. A Mr.
Cullenmoore paid me $200 and
I turned this over to Dr. Jarrell
at his office in Tyler.”

did in Dallas. There was at-
