Good Service Had on Veniremen end
Witnesses Alike

the sheriff's department on the spe-
cial venire of $50 names, ordered
for the selection of a jury to try the
Frank McCue murder case, which
will be called in the criminal district

o'clock
1t was stated by both the state and
the defense that the witnesses on
both sides are expected to be CT
hand, and that 1t was believed from
all present indications that the case
would go on trial. Good service it is
said by the sheriff's department, has
been had on special veniremen and
witnesses alike.
McCue, it will be remembered,
was indicted for murder, in connec-
tion with the killing of Earl Mabry,
who was struck in the head with
some blunt instrument and after
wards stabbed many times, just be-
yond the western end of the Texas
and Pacific Trinity river bridge. His
body was discovered on the morning
OF Sunday, September 80, last, and
several arrests followed. Roy Pringle
one of the men arrested, has turned
states evidence and gave testimony
which threw much light on the crime
both in an examining trial and in
habeas corpus hearing before Judge
Nelms of the criminal district court.

bail
On the other hand, members of
McCues family, who live In Oak Cuff
have testified that the defendant was
at home from 3 o'clock on the Sat
urday afternoon prior to the discoy-
cry of Mabry's body, until after 9
O'Clock on the Sunday morning In
question.
During the last trial it was under
stood that an application for
change of venue would be made by
the defense. Nothing more has been
heard as to this matter prior to the
coming trial. but there is NO doubt
such application will be made. Attor-
ney Albert Walker represents the de-
Tense In the case.
