Caskey Trial at
Breck March 17
W. J. Caskey, former Abilene
policeman charged with murder
in connection with the death of
Conley Ellis Oct. 9. 1945, will go
to trial again March 17 in the 90th
district court at Breckenridge,
District Attorney Thomas E. Hay-
den of the 42d district court an-
nounced Tuesday.
Hayden will be assisted in the
prosecution by Ben Dean, 90th
district court attorney. Floyd
Jones is the presiding judge.
Jurors failed to arrive at a ver-
dict in a previous trial held at Al-
bany last July and were dismiss-
ed by Judge J. R Black of 42d
district court The cast had been
transferred to Shackelford coun-
ty from Taylor county on request
of defense counsel.
At the Albany trial. Hayden
was assisted in • prosecution by
County Attorney Theo Ash and
W. E. Martin. Defense attorneys
were E. T. Brooks and Carl Hul-
pleaded not guilty, claimed self
defense and applied for suspended
sentence.
Conley Ellis died in Hendrick
Memorial hospital Oct. 9, 1945,
five days after being arrested by
Abilene police at the Cottage ho-
tel on Chestnut street. He was re-
moved from me city jail to the
hospital. The state charges Cas-
key with being responsible for
his death, alleging that he struck
Ellis.
The former policeman testified
at Albany that he struck Ellis with
a weapon during the arrest be-
cause he feared bodily harm from
Ellis.*
A murder charge against Jim-
mie Ferguson, another former Abi-
lene policeman, in connection with
the same death was dismissed by
Judge Black at Albany last March,
after the district attorney said he
had insufficient evidence to ob-
tain a conviction.
