The Negro boy was turned over
to the State Youth Development
Council — which means he will be
sent to the state reformatory at
Gatesville— for theft of an automo-
bile.
The white youngster a pale

“You know the price of food
these days," she said.
The mother said she worked as
a nurse s aid and her husband as
a cook and between them they
earned about $250 a month.
She said the cook is her fifth
husband. The first husband, father
of her six children, is dead, she
said: two of her former husbands
are in the state penitentiary and
the other has been released from
the penitentiary.
Two of her sons are in the Ma-

ADMITTED THEFTS
The boy admitted taking things
from his house and selling them.
But he said he couldn't always
find work, and the “other boys I
ran around with bad money to go
to picture shows and 1 wanted to
go with them."
“I have just recently saw that a
person shouldn't do that (take his
mother’s things and sell them),"
he told the court.

a puzzled manner.
Sparks told the court that the
boy declared that he had stolen
the latest car because be knew he
was going to Gatesville anyway
and he might as well do the job
right.
Sparks added that the boy said
be would eat well at Gatesville
anyway and wouldn't be bawled
out all the time.
When the boy was probated two
months ago, one of the other two
boys involved was sent to the re-
formatory. The third was probated
to his parents here and has not
since been in any reported trouble.

said the case was presented to the
county attorney’s office Thursday
morning. No charge had been filed
by noon, however, in the new case.
Also set for trial Thursday was
a bootlegging charge against Wil-
lie D Adair, of 3505 Grape St.,
who has appealed a conviction on
a similar charge last month in
which he was assessed a fine of
$1,000 and jail sentence of 120
days by a County Court jury.
Adair's trial was postponed on
motion of defense attorneys.

(Continued from Page 1-A)
Some waited in the grey, clam-
my dawn to cast their ballots as
soon as the polls opened. Workmen
stopped on their way to factories. |
mingling with others coming home
from all-night shifts.
Conservatives and Socialists
sent fleets of automobiles through
the streets to carry voters who
were short of time or unable to
find other transportation.
VERY HEAVY VOTING
Election officials in many dis-
tricts throughout London and oth-
er large cities, including Cardiff,
Leeds and Bristol, reported very
heavy voting during the morning.
Prime Minister Attlee and his
family were among the first dozen
people to vote at their Westminster
polling place. The mild-mannered
Labor Party chief cast his ballot
shortly after 8 o’clock. Asked
about his election prospects, he
' replied, “I never prophesy.”
With Attlee were his wife, his
two daughters and one of his
two sons.
The polls remain open until 9
p.m. (3 p.m. CST).
Election experts of both par-
, ties said the total vote might ex-
ceed even the record set last year
when 28.769,477 (85 per cent’ of the |
nearly 35 million registered voters
east ballots.
INTENSIVE CAMPAIGNS
They based this forecast on the
| fact that both parties have con-
ducted intensive drives to get out
| the vote and on the belief that the
! fundamental issues of the election
have become so fiercely controver-
sial that few ballots would go un
■ used today.
Even after the polls opened
teams from both parties continued
to go from house to house, asking
people if they had voted and of-
fering transportation to the polls.
Election-recording boards were
set up in Piccadilly Circus and in
other gathering points by London
i newspapers.

District Court jury Wednesday of
a fifth case of passing a forged
instrument and was assessed a
two-year prison sentence. The

ilar cases.
“Cook pleaded "not guilty" to
passing a forged $18 check to Sam
Terry at Terry's service station.
