AUTO CRASHES POLE
A motorist lost control of his
auto while driving on the Godley
highway yesterday afternoon and
crashed into a telephone pole.
No injuries resulted from the ac-
cident which was possibly caused
by defective steering gear. The
crash occured about 4:30, just north
of Cleburne.

not rent to an unattached female.
He said he did this as a returned
favor for the woman, who had
sent him several used car custom-
ers.
Todd had previously testified he
was a used car salesman.
He denied he paid the rental on
the apartment and said he had
never visited the woman there. He
further said he believed he had told
his wife about the transaction.
Wife Takes Stand
Todd’s pretty wife had prece-
ceded him on the witness stand.
She said she had been married to
the defendant eight years and that
they had four children. She said
they lived with Todd’s mother, who
was keeping the children. She said
her father-in-law died after an ill-
ness earlier in the week. She also
testified she visited her husband
in the hospital ward of Dallas Coun-
ty jail the day after the shooting.
She described his injuries as sev-
ere and stated that his head and
face were so swollen she hardly
recognized him.
“Nd, Melba Hall did not push
the gun into the air when I fired
the first shot inside the lounge,”
testified Todd when questioned by
state prosecutor James Allen.
Then Allen asked a question that
stalemated proceedings for nearly
an hour Wednesday afternoon: Are
you the James Todd convicted on
Dec. 15, 1947, of theft over $50?”
“No, I don’t believe I know any-

TWO CAR COLLISION
No injuries resulted from a two-
car collision at Granbury and Poin-
dexter Streets late yesterday after-
noon.
One car was travelling north on
Granbury when hit by a car going
east on Poindexter. Driver of the
east bound car said he stopped
for the stop sign and then proceed-
ed across the intersection. The ac-
cident occured about 6 o’clock,
with minor damages to both cars.
Bob Anderson, local merchant
and active civic leader, has accept-
ed chairmanship of this year’s Am-
erican Red Cross fund raising cam-
paign, Charles D. Kirkham, county
chapter chairman, announced to-
day.
Anderson has been associated
with Holliday-Anderson firm since
his graduation from Cleburne High
School in 1936. He is married and
the father of three children, Rob-
ert and Ronnie, aged nine years,
and Angela, 11 years.
The merchant is a member of
the board of stewards of the Main
Street Methodist Church. He has
been active in the Lions Club since
1940. Last year he managed the
club’s Little League baseball team.
He is also a member of the school
board.
He is a veteran of World War II
and is in the Texas National Guard.
The fund chairman and his wife,
Mary Ruby, live at 808 Prairie.
Miss Eula Wickham, retired tea-
cher in the Cleburne schools, and
likewise active in civic affairs, has
accepted chairmanship for the dri-
ve in the residential section of the
city.
Charles Kirkham will head the
fund drive in the county.
“The American Red Cross has
merited the full support of the pub-
lic for the past 30 years. And with
the added responsibility it has as-
sumed, due to the lack of any ef-
fective Civil Defense program, our
contributions are more important
than ever,” Anderson said. The Red
Cross is conducting first aid and
rivil defense courses in many cit-
ies and towns to train people to
cope with emergency disaster sit-
☆
Here is hoping that other scho-
ols, throughout this nation, will
join or follow Joshua students in
this effort. Some of these days,
as a result of the prpject started
at Joshua, the public school sys-
tem may see fit to conduct some
classes in driving and proper
motorist manners.
The safety week program will
end Mar. 5, when Patrolman
Brewer will return and make a
talk on driving safety. Safety
films will also be shown by the
Johnson County will figure in a
$1,700,000 State Highway Commis-
sion authorization to extend a north
south expressway from Fort Worth
southward to highway intersection
174 at Burleson.
The new project will link Fort
Worth and Cleburne with a four
lane highway and freeway, with
a master traffic interchange con-
structed just north of Burleson,
where highway 174 intersects high-
way 81, from Fort Worth, through
Burleson to Alvarado.
A four lane boulevard type high-
way, between Cleburne and Burle-
son, was completed almost a year
ago.
Another highway improvement
project, from the city limits of
Cleburne, southward, along 174,
throug hRio Vista and Kimball, is
set to get underway tis year. The
State Highway Commission has al-
so papproved a highway improve-
ment project along East Hender-
son Street and several sections of
highway 67 improvements, between
Cleburne and Alvarado.
Several farm to market road im-
provements will also be completed
in Johnson county this year, in-
cluding a ten mile farm to market
Allen’s argument was answered by Gean Turner, Cleburne at-
torney and former district attorney here. Turner delivered what
court attaches considered an applicable and effective argument. He
closed by declaring he would have done what Todd did had he been
in his shoes on the night of Sept. i, 1953 at the Player’s Lounge in
Dallas.
Todd was charged with slaying Chester, A. Crampton in the lounge
after an argument and a scuffle. He claimed self defense. Crampton,
30, was also identified as an automobile salesman.
Altaras Talks
Cleburne District Attorney Jack Altaras followed Turner in the
arguments. He meticulously strived to answer Turner’s argument and
opened by saying he did not believe Mr. Turner meant what he said
with reference to his acting as Todd acted under the circumstances.
Chief defense counsel, Maury Hughes, Todd’s court appointed Dal-
las lawyer, closed for .the defense. He reminded the jury that the
burden of the proof rested upon the state and pointed out that the
prosecution had brought only two witnesses. He demanded to know
why they had not brought more witnesses and named several persons
whom he charged where in the lounge when the killing occurred.
William F. Alexander, of Dallas, closed for the state. He pointed
out defense counsel’s proclivities for shaping their own testimony.
I His argument bordered on a scathing indictment of Hughes’ mode of
operating as defense counsel. \
Judge Jackson charged the jury when court convened this morn-
ing. He charged the jurors on the law of murder with malice, volun-
tary killing, accidental killing and self defense. He sent the jury to its
quarters to begin deliberating at 11:50 a.m.
Perhaps the strongest point scored by either side during the trial
was credited to the defense during the afternoon session Wednesday,
when defense counsel, Hugues, over the vigorous objection of Prosecu-
tor Allen, was allowed to introduce a picture of Todd. The photo was
snapped by a roving television camerman shortly after the shooting.
It showed a blood-smeared Todd. Hughes handed the photo to jury-
men and each examined it minutely.
Joshua school students are now
starting a project which will gain
nationwide attention, or we miss
our guess a city, block.
Beginning March 1, these stud-
ents will stage a safety cam-
paign, primarily aimed at traf-
fic accidents. Members of the
Joshua student council are lead-
ers in this program, assisted by
State Highway Patrolman Eu-
gene Brewer, of Fort Worth;
Dean Skiles, superintendent of
Joshua schools and W. O. Mann,
principal of Joshua High School.
A
For several weeks, now, these
civic minded students have been
designing safety posters which tell
the story of what can happen if
a moorist fails to use proper
precautions or otherwise becomes
careless when he drives an auto.
They have gone so far as to ob-
tain an old traffic signal light,
which will be installed in the hall-
way of Joshua school’s main build-
ing. This light will serve a definite
purpose of training pedestrians to
observe traffic regulations.
☆
The entire program has been
left up to the students, with of-
ficials acting as advisors. Youth-
ful ingenuity of these youngsters
is amazing. They have gone so
far as to obtain an old wrecked
auto, as part of the safety prog-
ram and right now they are try-
ing to locate a couple of dum-
mies, to serve as occupants of
the auto.
Everything will be very real-
istic. No doubt about it, such a
program will indirectly save a
great many lives.
A
Going a step further, the prog-
ram also includes installation of
guard posts, at culvert ends and
caution signs for the protection of
both pedestrian and motorist.
Again, the boys and girls at Josh-
ua school used their own imagin-
ation to design these safety and
caution signs. They have posts at
the ends of all culverts, leading
onto the school ground.
Draft Call Takes
1,030 Texas Lads
AUSTIN, Feb. 25—UP—An April
draft call of 1,030 men from Texas
was announced Thursday by State
Selective Service headquarters.
The April quota was held at the
same lvel as February and March.
The February call was for 1,010
men and March for 985.
However, Brig. Gen. Paul L.
Wakefield, state- director of Selec-
tive Service, pointed out that 1953
quotas called for 3,000 men in
February, 3056 in March and 2,894
in April.
Wakefield said in addition to the
April induction call of 1,030, com-
bined physical-mental examinations
will be ordered for 2,235 men dur-
ing the month.
He added only 1,000 men were
.being forwarded for the examina-
tions in March and none were ex-
amined in February. However,
4,000 men were examined in Jan-
uary.

Hughes had previously shown the
picture .to other witnesses, but had
made ho effort to introduce it in
evidence. The coup came during
the testimony of Mitchell Heafner,
a bar patron, who had testified he
was present when police arrived.
He said he saw Todd hand an of-
ficer the murder weapon.
First Defense Witness
Heafner said Todd looked “like
that” when he saw him,, referring
to the picture. Claude Parr, a
suave oldster, who'described him-
self as an educational .salesman
from Lubbock, was the first wit-
ness for the defense.
He said he was present when
Todd and Crampton started scuf-
fling, but he did not see the start
of the trouble. He testified he was
at the bar when Todd returned
with the pistol and said he fired
one shot into the air as Crampton
advanced toward him.
“Then I got out of there,” he
said emphatically, explaining he
retreated to the dance floor of the
lounge and joined his wife and sev-
eral other customers under some
tables. He was not an eyewitness
to the killing, he said.
Then in a surprise move, Hughes
placed the defendant Todd on the
stand. Speaking in modulated tones
the mild-appearing defendant, who
has been termed a hoodlum and a
torpedo by police officers of Tex-
as, told an entirely different story
from that related by Melba Hall,
operator of the lounge and the
state’s chief witness.
Todd said R. D. Matthews, a
with Crampton at the bar.
Todd readily admitted he went an old high school annual? School

the night of the killing, to show
him an automobile. The two took
a test drive in the car and Mat-
thews stopped at the Player’s Loun-
ge and invited him in to have a
drink, he said.
Didn't Know Crampton
Inside the lounge, Todd said he
saw Crampton, whom he empha-
tically denied ever having seen be-
fore.
“There was a woman sitting be-
side this man, however, whom I
did know,” he said. “She was a
woman who steered business to
various used car lots in Dallas.”
Todd said the woman spoke to
him and told him she wanted to
tell him something. As she slid
off the bar stool, Todd said Cramp-
ton became concerned about her
talking to him.
“At first I thought he was kid-
ding,” Todd said, “But when I
saw him break the glass from
which he was drinking on the edge
of the bar, I didn’t know what was
going to happen.”
Todd said Crampton said: “This
is my girl, you leave her alone.”
He said the two fought for sev-
eral minutes and that he managed
to break loose and leave the lounge.
Outside, he said he met Matthews,
who told him he had left the car
keys on the bar. Todd said he asked
Matthews to take him to a hospi-
tal, as he was bleeding profusely
from facial cuts. He said Matthews
handed him a pistol and told him
to go back inside and get the keys.
“That guy is not in there any
more,” Todd said Matthews told
him, “He’s lurking around out here .
somewhere, but take this pistol, '

Forceful Arguments
By JACK PROCTOR and JIMMY BROWDER
The Jack Todd murder trial went to the jury in Judge Penn Jackson’s 18th Dis-
trict Court shortly before noon today.
Arguments for both sides were forceful and to the point. They were heard by a
packed courtroom. .
Chief Felony Prosecutor James Allen, of the Dallas district attorney’s office,
opened the arguments. He summed up tne evidence and closed by asking the jury
to send Todd, 34, who represented himself during the trial as an automobile sales-
man, to the penitentiary for life.
Todd’s pretty wife and her four children, ranging in age from 8 months to six
years old, sat interestedly oh the front row during the arguments. She was forced
to leave the courtroom from time to time to attend to her 8-months-old daughter,
Velva Jean.

and protect yourself is anybody

Returns For Keys
Todd said he did not know why
he returned to the lounge after
the keys, except that he possibly
was dazed and was not sure of i
what he was doing. Inside the bar
once more, Todd said he soon saw
Crampton when his eyes became
adjusted to the dim lighting. He
said Crampton was advancing to-
ward him with a broken glass, or
bottle, in his hand.
“I fired one shot into the air to
scare him,” Todd said, ‘Then he
was on me and we were grap-
pling. I knew the gun was firing,
but I don’t know how many times.
I broke loose and ran out the door.
Crampton was still standing when
I left.”
Todd said he walked to a nearby
filling station and asked some peo-
ple to take the gun and call an
ambulance to take him to a hos-
pital. He said he was blinded by
blood. About that time, he said,
two policemen drove up and I
handed one of them the pistol.
On cross-examination, Prosecutor
Allen attempted to elicit from Todd
that he had previously rented an
apartment for the woman who was

died at Hermann hospital about
two hours after he was wounded
in the head in a gun battle with
Carrol Dayton Farrar, 34, an ex-
convict.
Margie Eliot, 12, was struck
down and killed by a car rushing
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Maddox Sr.,
to the bedside of their dying son.
Farrar was wounded in both
shoulders and - suffered several
flesh wounds in the face and fore-
head. The second policeman
wounded was Patrolman Martell
Moon, 37, whose arm was hit by
a slug from Farrar’s pistol.
A gunman, later identified as
Farrar, held up the Gardner Liq-
uor Store at 4819 Laura Koppe
Road about 8 p.m. and, after
threatening to kill owner E. W.
Gardner, 48, left with $89.
Minutes later a grocer in the
area telephoned police a sus-
picious man was in his store us-
ing a telephone. Officer J. E. Tuc-
ker, who was in the vicinity, in-
vestigated and Farrar rushed from
behind a utility pole near the gro-
cery, firing at Tucker.
An off-duty policeman, W. E.
Milligan, heard the shooting two
blocks away and ran to the scene
with a shotgun which he gave
Tucker who was still engaged in
the gun fight with Farrar.
Moon and Maddox arrived min-
utes later and in n exchange of
an estimated 50 shots Maddox was
fatally wounded and Farrar fin-
ally felled by gunshots.
Records showed Farrar was re-
leased from the Texas state prison
in 1952 where he was sent in 1948
on a 10-year sentence for assault-
ing a 12-year-old girl in Houston.
He was charged with murder, as-
sault to murder, and three counts
of armed robbery.
