The Circuit Court of Dallas County was called to order today by Special Judge Henry F. Reese. who was appoint ed by Governor Jelks to hold court in place of Judge John Moore, who is indis- posed. There is general regret among Judge Moores host of friends that he was not able to be here to hold his regu- lar term of the court, but the appoint ment of Hon. Henry, F. Reese. as special judge, gives great satisfaction to the bar and to the people. Judge is one of the leading members of the Dallas bar.
