LOCKE Tells OF
Will CONTEST
Crawford Was Present
Negro Talked, O'Day's
Partner Says
(By The Associated Press. }

-
DALLAS, Texas. Jan. 2s.-Eugene
Locke of the law firm Locke and Locke,
OF which Paul M. O'Day was a member
resumed the witness stand as a states
witness in rebuttal in the trial of Will
lam Lester Crawford, young lawyer,
charged with killing O'Day, when court
convened today.
Cross examination of Mr.. Locke was
resumed where it ceased last evening
and concerned whether William Lester
Crawford was present at the taking of
deposition of Willis Evans, negro
coachman. Crawford in his testimony
declared it was the Evans deposition
and comment upon it in brief in will
case, which he believed O'Day had writ
ten, and O'Day's statement that he
questioned the chastity of the defend
ants mother that caused him to shoot
O'Day. He denied he had heard the
statements contained in the deposition,
knew it's contents or arguments of law
yers opposed to the interests of his
mother in will case until the night
before O'Day was killed. Mr. Locke
testified yesterday that, as he remem-
bered, Crawford was present at the
taking of the deposition, except for a
short period when he was called to the
telephone, and Crawford asked that
questioning cease while he was out of
the room, which was done. .
Mr.. Locke said today that his interest
was centered on taking the deposition.
Then you can't tell exactly what
portion of the time the defendant Craw-
ford was present and what portion of
the time absent?" he was asked.
My recollection is that he was
present substantially all Of the time,
but / can't be certain what time he was
not Mr.. Locke said.
Mr.. Locke was asked considerable de-
tails of what happened at the trial of
the will case in 1923 when the Evans
deposition was offered and excluded as
evidence, and about the preparation and
an instructed verdict in favor of Mrs.
Crawford, the defendants mother, had
been retu ned in that case.
Mr. Locke answered to the effect that
the motion for the new trial, which mo-
tion the state contends contained the
exact comments about Mrs. Crawford
that her son says he first discovered
in the brief in the will case appeal, was
prepared jointly by himself and Pat,
O'Day 1t was the result of their joint
effort, the witness said. The brief in
the will case was written by O'Day, Mr.
Locke testified. Numerous questions
were asked by the defense as to inter
views with former servants of the
Crawford family in connection with the
will case, after which Mr.. Locke was ex-
cused.
