voice, but I couldn't hear what he was
saying. I got back in bed and covered up
my head and my husband's because I
didn't want him to be awakened and go
outside.”
"After I covered up my head, I heard
something like a back-fire. When I
pulled the covers back after a few
minutes, there were police patrol car
lights flashing around the walls of our
bedroom. I got up and went to the front
door and looked out.
“There were police outside and one
was taking Marshall to a patrol car.
Marshal was saying, ‘Please. Please
don’t do this’.''
Mrs. Wiikerson said she put on her
housecoat, went out in the yard and
stood near her driveway close tt the
Tomlinson home.
She testified that soon she was joined
by Mrs. Sammy Glenn, who told her she
had heard on the police radio in her
home there was a shooting on Bales
Street.
“The police told her Sammy had been
shot," Mrs. Wiikerson related.
"I took her in my house and sat her
down on my couch. I asked her if she
knew Sammy was down here and she
said she did. She told me that when she
heard on the police radio about the
shooting she thought Sammy had shot
Marshal.”

the city arose Ojtt. 22, ’when the officer
arrested Sohnny Cdrlock for shooting at
pigeons in Carlock's lumberyard inside
the city limits in violation of a city or-
dinance The 72-year-old man reported-
ly defied the police officer to arrest
him, which the officer preceded to do,
resulting in Fogelmaa\ suspension
from his duties by t^e city! council.
Carlock is an uncle of Joshua City Coun-
cilman R C. Loflin.
The settlement of ^approximately
$2,242 compensates Ft^elman for lost
salary plus a week's vacation, with the
city of Joshua also piejjang up the table
tab for court costs an0 half of a $400
transcript of the city council’s Nov. 25
meeting, during which Fogelman had
asked to be reinstated/
Immediately upon his reinstatement
as a Joshua policeman, Fogelman
resigned to continue hi* job as a securi-
ty officer for Texas Christian Universi-
ty, a position he has held since Dec 13,
1980.
Sparks said the city is also notifying
Texas State Board of Certifications that
Fogelman has been reinstated so that
no part of the suspension action would
be a part of his certification record.
MRS. ljVILKERSON TESTIFIED
that Beetsi, a boy named “Joe",
Glenn’s parents and some neighbors
aisacame, into her home that evening.
When asked by Assistant D.A. Dale
Hannah who “Joe" is, Mrs. Wiikerson
said' Beetsi had called him to come
down to the Wilkerson's.
“When they met in my front yard,
they embraced," she said. “Later,
Beetsi introduced “Joe” to me as “a
boy 1 us^d to work with.'”
MacLean asked Mrs. Wiikerson why
she had waited until now to give this
information instead of telling investiga-
ting officers when they were at her
home tl^e day after the shooting.
“This whole case might have been
different if you had given this informa-
tion to the Grand Jury,” MacLean told
the witness.
“You didn’t ask me directly what I
had heard. You asked me to tell you
anything I knew. I didn’t want to get
involved,” the witness answered
“Why are you testifying now?” Mac-
Lean asked. “Is your conscience both-
ering you?”
“Yes,” Mrs. Wiikerson answered.
PRECEDING MRS. WILKERSON’S
testimony, Tomlinson had spent most of
Wednesday on the stand relating events
of his and Beetsi’s high school court-
ship; their marriage in Oklahoma in
October, 1977, when she was two
months pregnant; and their relation-
ship after marriage. The marriage
recently terminated in a divorce.
Throughout intense questioning by
MacLean and Hannah, neither could
shake Tomlinson’s story that his act
was self-defense; that while he “loved”
his father-in-law, their relationship was
sometimes “good” and sometimes
“bad”, but that he always lived in fear
of Glenn because Glenn had threatened
his life upon several occasions
Tomlinson told of a quarrel with his
wife on the afternoon of the shooting
during which he admitted he had
“roughed Beetsi up a bit” because he
wanted her to “stop working and stay at
home and take care of our son.”
Tomlinson said after the shooting, he
walked over to Glenn’s body and hit it
with the barrel-end of the deer rifle,
causing two skull-deep gashes in the
back of the head.
The defendant said, “He (Glenn)
made a quick move and his fore-finger
was crooked and I thought he was
reaching for a gun.”
Afterwards, Marshal said he broke
the butt-end of the rifle over the hood of
the pickup “because 1 was sorry. 1
didn’t want to kill anyone.”
