Judge McCallum announced on
Thursday that he is desirous of con-
cluding the contest by Saturday.
Thursday morning the discovery
of thirty-two unvoted ballots from
Precinct 30, offered as evidence by
Marshall forees, served to clear up
in part the charge that these same
ballots, signed by the precinct elec-
tion judge and dropped into the box
without any votes on them, had
been subsequently used for defraud-
ing purposes. The ballots were
found among scratch paper given to
the auditor’s office, a part of the
unused ballots remaining from the
primary election.
Judge McCallum said the court
knew where these ballots were all
the time. “No one ever asked for
them,” he said' “All of the surplus
ballots are in the auditor's office,’’

M. C. Dillon, an election official
in box 30, was the last witness on
Thursday before adjournment at 3
o'clock. He said he sided with Seale
in the race for sheriff. On cross-ex-
amination he was asked by Hart
Willis, Marshall attorney,, if “you
got any word from a certain head-
quarters after 5 o’clock on the elec-
tion day?” The witness answered in
the negative.
“Are you a member of the Oak
Cliff klan?” asked Willis. Although
casualty put, the question electrified
the crowded courtroom into instant
attention.
The witness answered “No, sir.”
DALLAS SHERIFF
LEADS'IN RECOUNT
BY 383 VOTES
t
Dallas, Sept. 3.—Sheriff Schuy-
ler Marshall Jr. is leading Allen
Seale by 383 ballots in the recount
tho first primary ballots official-
tabulated and announced Thurs-
day by Judge Claude M. McCallum,
presiding judge in the contest. The
Count Includes ail boxes but Nos.
83, 08. 92 and 105., "
Boxes which Seale's attorneys
'Twee sought to have reopened dur-
ing the present weok, charging ad-
ditional fraud has been perpertated
in them also, are included in the
total announced Thursday by the
court. Notably these boxes are No.
30, Tyler and Jefferson, and No.
101, University Park.
Fear Bdsai May Decide.
The four boxes held up are those
in which so-called erased ballots
were found on the second week of
the contest. Their weight will large
ly determine the result of the con-
tent and decide whether Allen Seale,
who was given a lead of 124 votes
over Marshall in the original count,
has lost the contest and thereby the
nomination.
On the original canvass made by
the County Democratic F.xecutive
Committee for the same 106 boxes
Marshall had 17,805 votes while
Scale trailed behind him 213 votes
with a total of 17,062. The recount
tabulation Thursday gives Marshall
17,440 votes, or 883 more votes
thun Seale, whose total is 17,066
votes.
In other words, while Seale gain-
ed only four votes on the recount
of 106 of the 110 boxes, Marshall
showed a gain (?f> 144 votes, whiqh
are HO more than Scale's majority
for all boxes in' the original count.
The court's figures dealt only
with the recount.
Wants to Finish Saturday,
Attorneys for Seale concluded
with evidence Thursday purporting
to show that ballots in Box 30
where Marshall gained forty-six
votes, had been "fouled” since the
election. Friday morning they will

Dallas, Sept. 2.—A "man nakod
and a woman in pink silk teddies
driving about the city were arrest-
ed at the first blush of dawn here
Friday. Two motorcycle policemen
blushed as they drew alongside the
uutomobile and saw the sartorial
condition of the occupants. And cv-
cvryhody blushed when the couple
explained that they had engaged in
a little game of strip poker with
bad luck and were on their way-
home with all they had left.
They were arrested. The woman
said her home was 'in Oklahoma
City, and the man gave Dallas as
his residence.
Later in the (jay the woman was
brought Into police court in clothes
supplied by the jail matron. When
her mule companion was ailed,
Dean Gauldln, city prosecutor, told
tho judge he could not be presented
because he was in jail naked.

no women here and I guess us men
can stand.it,” said the judge.
In a few minutes the prisoner
was led in, wearing a pair of ti »us-
ers five sizes too large, which had
been borrowed from a hefty p dice-
man. He was barefooted.
"What’s all this about?" asked
the judge.
"They were riding around naked,”
said the prosecutor.
”1 wasn’t naked; I had on my
teddies," said the modern Lady
Gudiva with a withering look at
Gaulditv.
"Twenty-five dollars fine for
each,” snapped the judge.
The fines were paid. Friends
brought the man a suit of clothes
and he departed. The woman left in
taxicab alone, adorned in her jail
clothes.
