Newton Trial
Expected To
Be Important
Trial of John Newton, about 30, in
connection with the robbery with
firearms of the First Coleman Na
tional bank here early In February
is expected to be the most import-
ant case on the docket of Judge O
L. Parish’s 119th Judicial District
court.
Arrangements arc being made by
officials of 119th court for the
trial of the bank robbery cast along
with several otlrr rather important
criminal cases, and a completivcly
heavy docket of civil cases.
Grand and petit jurors arc to be
notified by District Clerk J. B. Hil-
ton and Sheriff Frank Mills within
the next few days on just what days
they are expected to appear in court
here.
The first week of court will see
the grand jury investigating crime
and Judge Parish hearing non jury
civil cases.
First petit jury reports fQr duty
on June 4.
Petitioners To
Ask Court Call
Special Election
Petition to call an election on a
county wide stock law probably will
be presented to members of the
Commissioner's Court at its June
session, It was indicated at a meet-
ing of that court in session this
week at the county court house.
The stock law, which would cause
farmers and ranchmen to keep their
stock in their own pastures ana Off
public roads. Is In force in some of
the communities now. However, it
is not county wide in nature.
In order for the court to call the
election it would be necessary for
100 free holders, or land owners, to
sign the petition. It was necessary
that at least 12 names be secured
in each of the eight Justice precincts
of the county.
It is likely the court would call
the election for the same day on
which another election alrcadv has
been called. County Judge A. O. New-
man said today.
Charles Woodruff will be in
charge of securing the petition.
