‘FAMILY PRIDE’ MURDER TRIAL IS UNDER WAY Texas Judge Faces Jury for Slaying Youth Who Wedded Daughter. WIDOW TORN BY DOUBT Love for Father and Love for Dead Mate Clash in Her Heart. tin ? pltril Prerni WEATHERFORD. Tex., Oct. 29 A maelstrom of passions and emotions as old as the human race had its vortex today in the picturesque Parker county courthouse, when Judge R. H. Hamilton was being tried on a charge of murdering young Tom Walton, the son-in-law he did not want in the family. Love and anger, pride and grief, loyalty and sense of duty were struggling for mastery in the minds of the four persons playing the principal roles in the drama. It was expected the jury would be completed today. Five farmers and a bank cashier had been selected from a venire of 150 when court recessed Monday night, after the first day of the trial that has brought curious from miles around. Prisoner Is Prominent Judge Hamilton, prominent Amarillo jurist, is accused by the state of having shot and killed young Walton last May 4, when the youth entered his father-in-law’s law office to announce he had married his daughter. Theresa. The trial was brought here from Amarillo on a, change of venue on the defense contention that feeling there was too intense to permit a fair trial. Spectators watched Intently the reactions of Judge Hamilton, stern in pride of achievement and pride of family; Mrs. Hamilton, his wife, terrorized by the disastrous turn of events; Theresa Hamilton Walton, widowed as a bride, tom between love of husband and love of father, and Mrs. Grace Walton, also a widow, whose son was taken from her. Judge Is Calm Judge Hamilton was calm, listening attentively to the questions of attorneys, a familiar practice in his years of guiding the administration j of Justice. His daughter hid her j face from curious stares. Mrs. Wal- j ton. pale from the illness occasioned ! by the shock of her son’s death, j wept periodically. Mrs. Hamilton | wrung her hands. The background of tense scene : in the courtroom extends to the days when Theresa Hamilton and Tom Walton were high school sweet- i hearts. Judge Hamilton frowned on his daughter’s friendship with Tom. Mrs. Walton owned a small hotel. There was a wide difference between her modest means and the wealth and position of the jurist. The events that led to the tragic climax last May w r ere: The boy and girl were sent to the University of Texas. They secretly were married. Mrs. Walton advised her son to go to the Judge and tell him. He was shot and killed in the law office of his father-in-law\ Judge Hamilton was indicted on a charge of first degree murder.

Sullivan Is Criticised as 'Politician’ in Speech by G. 0. P. Leader. A verbal attack against Mayor L. Ert Slack, Reginald H. Sullivan, Democratic candidate for mayor, and other Democratic city officials and supporters, was launched by Charles W. Jewett, former mayor, in a speech in support of the Republican city election ticket Monday night at 3327 North Illinois street.

Holtzman and Oren S. Hack, former and Dresent corporation counsel, respectively. Jewett said Hack received the post of corporation counsel after he refused to sign court order as a works board member to award Dilling & Cos., $35,000 for property damage, resulting from the White river flood prevention work.

Voting Made Easy for You Next Week; Just Follow This List of Instructions

i (.1 K'W!; ** TI-.

VOTING will be easy for you next Tuesday if you will study the accompanying photographs and the instructions given here. Entering the booth and drawing the overhead curtain-lever to the right until the curtain closes behind you and the bell rings, you will face the rows of cards and levers pictured here. At the left of the panel before you will be the five party tickets for mayor, city clerk and councilmen. Only the two major party tickets are pictured above. First pull your party lever. It is designated by the party name and party emblem. This operation will turn down the keys over your party’s candidates for mayor, city clerk, and six councilmen. You have voted the ticket “straight.” To scratch, having pulled the party lever, push up the key over the candidate you wish to scratch and pull down the key over the candidate of another party you favor for that office. Vote for Three Others Having voted for six council candidates by district, either “straight” or by “scratching,” you may go ahead and vote for three others at large; this because there are nine councilmanic posts to be filled and only six candidates in each party. To vote for the added three, you first must push up the three keys which turned down over blank spaces when you pulled your party lever. This enables you to pull down the keys over three more council candidates (in addition to the six you choose by districts), thus expressing your wishes for council-men-at-large, even though they are of an opposite political party to the one whose party lever you pulled. Stepping now to the right end of the booth, you face the names and numbers of the fifteen candidates for five posts of school commissioner, as pictured at the right. Pulling the party* lever has not cast any votes for these candidates, for they are not listed oy parties. School Ticket Next Running up and down, the first three rows at the left are for the term beginning Jan. 1, 1930. You are to vote for three of these, and three only, by pulling down the individual keys over the names of the three candidates you favor. The four names appearing in the last two vertical rows are for the year beginning Jan. 1, 1932. You are to vote for two of these in the same manner. In the picture at the right, the keys have been pulled down to indicate a vote for each of the five school candidates on the Citizens’ School committee ticket, pledged to divorce politics from control of Indianapolis public schools.

Five Are Recommended In the top horizontal row, the fourth key has been pulled down over the name of Samuel E. Garrison. The corresponding key has been pulled down in the second row to vote for Merle Sidener. In the third row, the first key has been turned down to vote for Mrs. Maude Miller, and in the bottom row, the first and second keys for Julian Wetzel and Russell Willson. The keys having been set, your vote is recorded when you open the booth to leave, by pulling the overhead lever back once more to its original position. All of this is less difficult than it sounds. If you are addicted to “buck ague” at the sight of so many tickets and lever, jot down your selections before you go to the polls and refer to it when your turn comes in the booth.

Du Vnitcd Frtss WASHINGTON. Oct. 29—Senator Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, for years a Republican leader and close personal friend of President Hoover, died at his home here Monday night. He was 78 years old and had been failing in health for the last year. Although confined to his home for weeks, he maintained his usual interest in legislative matters and kept in close touch with his office until only a few days before his death. He suffered a seemingly mild attack of influenza about a month ago, but in nis weakened condition he was unable to combat it successfully. Last Wednesday he suffered a serious relapse and hope for his recovery was abandoned Sunday, when he lapsed into unconsciousness. About 9:45 Monday night, his condition became acute and a hurried call brought Dr. Robert Baker to the bedside. The aged senator, however, died before he arrived, never having regained consciousness. William Burtop, a nephew of Omaha, Neb., who arrived Monday; Miss Grace C. Burton, a niece who had lived with her uncle for some time, and a grand-niece, Miss D. I. Hassell, were at the bedside when he died. Only a few minutes before his death, Senator Simeor> D. Fess of Ohio and Bishop William T. MacDowell of the Methodist Episcopal church, visited him.
