CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH *
Members of the Country Club and
their invited guests made merry
Friday evening, December 29th, with
the most unique and picturesque af-
fair of the holiday season.
Mines. Omar Brown, Chas. E.
Stokes; Misses Helen Willerson and
Dorothy Frazer acted as hostesses
for the occasion.
The club hall had been converted
into a dense snow scene, with the
windows and glass doors festooned in
snow flakes glistening with ice.
Laige snow balls rested promiscous-
ly throughout the room. The ceiling
of the dance hall was a canopy of
white x-ope paper and from the ends
of each thread of rope hung a large
snow ball.
The mantel formed a beautiful
picture with Santa and his reindeer
driving over the snow banks. Christ-
mas trees lighted with blue lights
were on each side and a large snow
man in austere manner stood sen-
tinel. Larger Christmas trees with
blue colored lights were in two cor-
ners of the room, the soft blue lights
FRANK HARDY RELEASED
FROM BELL COUNTY JAIL
MR. AND MRS. D. R.
FITCH
ENTERTAIN
BELTON, Dec. 29.—Frank Hardy
of Waco, indicted and tried for the
murder of Doyle Johnson in Temple
Christmas day, 1932, and who re-
cently was absolved of the crime by
a confession of W. D. Jones of Dal-
las, was released from the Bell Coun-
ty jail on $1,000 bond Friday after
being held in prison for six months.
Simultaneously District Judge Few
Brewster ruled that sufficient evi-
dence had not been presented in his
court to warrant holding of Hardy
in jail for Missouri officers on a
charge of bank robbery there.
The bond in the murder case was
a formality as District Attorney
Henry Taylor has stated that the
mui;der charge against Hardy will be
dismissed as soon as district court
convenes January 16.
In Hardy’s trial for murder in Oc-
tober, the jury failed to reach a ver-
dict, seven voting for acquittal and
five for conviction.
Missouri officers have been grant-
ed extradition papers for Hardy but
in a hearing this week evidence was
formed the only lighting for the j presented which Judge Brewster de-
scene. A latticed enclosure clustered
with snow balls, with the piano bank-
ed high in snow was the setting for
“The Clarence Nemir orchestx-a”
out of Austin.
At the hour of 12 the orchestra
played “Happy Days Are Here
Again”, and little Miss Gloria Tay-
lor impersonating the new year, in
high stovepipe hat and blue tq,rleton
dress was rolled in on a huge snow
ball. She threw a champagne glass
from where she sat, which broke
with a small crash and also threw
confetti and serpentine — serpentine
and confetti was passed to the danc-
ers.
The dinning room decoi-ations were
also in the Chi-istmas motif. The
large square table centered with a
decoi-ated Christmas tree. Plates of
sandwiches were placed for the
guests with noise-makers as favors,
and coffee was passed.
Over sixty-five guests with a
numbefc- of out-of-town guests en-
joyed this lovely occassion.

LAMPASAS RECEIVES 1.31 INS.
OF RAINFALL IN TWO DAYS
During the past two days and
nights Lampasas has received a tot-
al l-ainfall of 1.31 inches. Reports
have been received from only a few
of the communities around Lampasas
but most of these reported about the
same precipitation that fell here.
Naruna reported only one-half inch.
Many oat crops, that would soon
have been past helping, have been
saved by this rain. If we receive
more r-ain and the weather doesn’t
get too cold, everything should be
looking good in a few days.
FEDERAL DIRECT RELIEF
FUNDS SHUT OFF IN TEXAS
dared in a ruling today established
the fact that Hardy was in Waco
on the day the Missouri bank was
robbed and thus could not have been
one of the three persons who partici-
pated in the holdup.
Judge Brewster pointed iut there
were “two questions for the court
to decide, namely (1) whether Frank
Hardy is duly charged in Jasper
County, Missouri, by indictment or
by affidavit with a felony and (2)
whether the defendant herein is the
person so charged.”
Judge Brewster pointed out there
question was legally established by
extradition papers being issued by
Governor Parks of Missouri and is-
suing a warrant by Governor Fer-
guson.
Speaking of the second proposi-
tion, Judge Brewster explained the
hearing and declared that testimony
by eight witnesses, some of whom
are not related to Hardy, indicated
that “this defendant, Frank Hardy,
was in Waco, Texas, all day Nov.
30, 1932, and as early as 9 o’clock on
the morning of Dec. 1, 1932. If true,
this established the fact that he
could not have been one of tlje three
persons who robbed the bank in
Oronogo, Mo., at 1:30 p. m. on Nov.
30, 1932.”
Judge Brewster pointed out that
“on the other hand, there is not a
word, syllable or letter of testimony
in this record on behalf of the State
of Missouri to show that this defend-
ant was in Oronogo, Mo., on said
date.....Therefore, the defendant’s
alibi testimony being uncontradicted,
this court is bound to conclude that
the accused is not the pex-son wanted
in Missoux-i and must order his re-
lease from custody.”
In concluding, Judge Brewster said:
“If Missouri authorities really want
this man, it would seem reasonable,
in view of the gi-avity of the offense
chax-ged, to expect them to incur the
expense necessary to bring witnesses
here to show that he is the person
they want. This order of release
will in no wise prevent their taking
such action hereafter should they
decide to do so.”

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—The fed-
eral relief administration served no-
tice today no more government mon-
ey would be forthcoming for direct
relief in Texas and other states
charged with non-cooperation until
they arrange to help foot the bill.
Administrator Harry L. Hopkins
described Texas as the chief offender
and listed Missouri and Colorado in
the same category.
Asked what would be done in con-
nection with the Texas situation
where a recent attempt to sell relief
bonds met with indifferent success,
the administrator said Washington
has “gone as far” as it would go.
“We positively will not hold the
bag any further,” he said, “and I
hate to think how much money we
have given that state.”
He refex-red to the fact relief al-
locations have been made regularly
to the state upon the understanding
that by sale of its “bread bonds”
Texas would bear the load on a 50-50
basis.
Hopkins went on to say the whole
question was “up to” Texas and sug-
gested as a solution that Governor
Ferguson might call a special session
of the legislature “and vote some tax
money to care for this situation.”
TEXAS FLYING BABY’S

Bean, John B. Davis, W. E. Moore,

close of the evening a pei-manent
forty-two club was oi-ganized, which
will meet every two weeks.
Trays of sandwiches, cookies, stuf-
fed dates, mints and Prussian tea
was served at the tables. The next
meeting will be with Mr. and Mrs.
•J. P. Harris on January 12th.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 29.—“The baby
is doing very nicely. She should be
ready to go home in two or three
weeks.”
Thus Dr. Walter E. Dandy, noted
surgeon, tonight reported the prob-
able success of the delicate brain op-
eration he performed this morning on
five months old Sue Trammell, flown
1,400 miles from Houston, Tex., to
Baltimore, in what her parents be-
lieved to be a race with death.
“She came out of the ether all
right and is taking her feeding nice-
ly,” the slow speaking surgeon, who
has been frankly annoyed at the at-
tention the case attracted, concluded.
