on his wrist and ankles. Police Sur
geon Robert C. Faus said an autopsy
indicated the boy had put up a ter

Physicians believed the boy had
been killed Tuesday night. a few
hours after he had been kidnapped
and possibly within a few minutes or
the time his frenzied father ha6
handed over $4,000 to u man. who
promised the safe return OF the lad
Following receipt of a telephone

came Tuesday when the father re-
ceived a letter demanding $4,000
ransom for his son, with threats OF
death il the money was not deliv-

The boy was taken from his school
shortly before by a man who told his
teacher that Mrs. Jameson had been
injured and wished her son to return
home at once.
Miss Mary p. Winnie, school princi.
pal, visited the city Jail last night
but was unable to identify any of
the men under arrest as the person
who called for Gill at his school.

ed here today that Mrs. Edith E. Will
mans, candidate for governor in the

Of the election were tabulated from
figures compiled by the Texas Elec-
ton Bureau.
"We did not touch the figures com
piled by the election bureau" CULLEN
declared. "Our official figures in
Dallas county were a tabulation Of
precinct returns, reported by the pre-
siding officer Of each precinct"
Quillen's statement was supported
by that of A. r. Herning, manager
Of the the election bureau.
IF the committee used our figures
! did not know it," Henning said.
Gas q matter Of fact, the returns
compiled by our bureau gave Mrs
Wilmans approximately 1000 more
votes for governor than she was &C.
corded in the official figures.
"Mrs. Wilmans in her suit filed to-
day at Austin alleged that returns OF
the bureau were compiled by employ

cratic executive committee.
The suit was filed one day too late
TO be considered in the October
term, the court clerk said.
Through illegal and fraudulent
acts and statements Of the state
democratic executive committee and
the county democratic executive COM
mittees and county election officials
IN Cameron, Val Verde, Harrison.
Tarrant and other counties and
through threats and coercion made
by such committees and officials
against the legally qualified voters
OF Texas and candidates in the pri-
mary, thousands of legally qualified
voters were afraid to participate in
the election for fear they would be
disfranchised and not permitted TO
vote in the general election for their
own choice for presidential electors
the petition alleged.
Charges False Count
The suit further said that IL these
voters had gone to the polls, Govern
or Moody would not have had n ma
jority. thus necessitating a run-off.
Mrs. Wilmans also said that certain
election officials failed 20 count q
large number Of votes for her.
According to the petition there has
didate has been named by q majority
Of the votes.
The suit also contained allegations
that votes had been cast for persons
who had left the state OF were dead,
that certain county officials illegally
issued more than one poll tax to the
same person and that more than
ten thousand Mexican's not citizens
Of the United States were permitted
to cast ballots.
Asks Another Vote
Mrs. Wilmans said the purpose of
the secret ballot was to prevent any
one else from knowing for whom a
person was voting. In direct contra
vention OF that purpose, she added,
party officials had forced candidates
and voters to indicate for whom they
we're to vote IN the general election,
on penalty of Acknowledgement.
Such tactics made il practically
impossible for any candidate 10 have
received justice at the polls in the
July primary, the contestant alleged.
and resulted in its being illegal and
invalid, being a fraud upon the a
didate and the voter, and void
Saying that she had been deprived
of her right as a citizen and a voter.
Mrs. Wilmans demanded that another
gubernatorial election be called, the
nominee of which would head the
state ticket in the general election in
November.
