The young man’s father, O.
H. Herring, testified that his
son sneaked the letter to him
while police questioned the
high school boy after the
shooting. Herring said he gave
the letter to police and the de-
fense succeeded in getting it
placed in evidence.
The letter, in the handwrit-
ing of Miss Williams, reads in
part:
“I want everyone to know
that what I’m about to do in
ho way implicates anyone else
... I have depressing prob-
lems, problems that concern,
for the most part, myself. I’m
waging a war within myself, a
war to find the true me and I
fear I’m losing the battle.
Rather than admit defeat I’m
going to beat a quick retreat
into the no man's land of
death.”
The letter continued: "As I
have only the will and not the
fortitude necessary, a friend
of mine, seeing how great, is
my torment, has graciously
consented to look after the de-
tails. His name is Mack Her-
ring, and I pray that he will
not have to suffer for what he
is- doing, for my sake. I take
upon mjWlf all blame for it
lies on me alone.”
The letter was signed; “Sin-
cerely, Betty WiHiams.”
The young man’s mother al-
so testified. Asked whether
she thought her son knew right

Officers then ordered them
to disperse and they began to
move away. A police spokes-
man said later one child was
arrested for obstructing the
police.
The children kept together
and moved through the streets
followed by police with dogs
on leashes. Eventually the chil-
dren broke up and drifted back
to the African township of
highfields outside Salisbury,
where the march was first or-
ganized.

Chapman outlined some of
the complex quetsions involv-
ed in loan shark control legisla-
tion, which was defeated, and
predicted a control program of
this type eventually will be
adopted. He blamed inclusion
of a million dollar state park-
ing garage at Austin in the ap-
propriations bill on a “take it
or leave it” basis for defeat of
that measure.
The legislator discussed the
work of interim committees
which are set up to study prob-
lems and make recommenda-
tions between sessions. He is a
member of a public lands com-
mittee which is investigating
the method by which private
promoters obtained title to oil-

Sixteen Cars
Leave Tracks
Near Mumford
Bryan, Feb. 22 If* — Sixteen
cars of a 130-car Missouri-Pa-
cific freight train were derail-
ed before dawn in Robinson
County near Mumford.
The wreck occurred at 3:30
a.m., and investigators said
nine of the 16 cars were stack-
ed up like dominoes—and were
totally demolished.
The scene of the accident is
one mile west of Munford near
Farm Road 50.
Blamed for the accident is
a boom which fell from the top
of a freight car loaded with
heavy machinery. The boom
snatched the mid sixteen cars
off the track—leaving 57 cars
in front and 57 in back of the
wreckage undamaged.
The derailment also ripped
out 150 feet of track.
The accident occurred about
two miles from where two
