V. RAY Adams, Bartlett farmer, is on
trial here.
District Judge c. A. Pippen held
that 10 witnesses whom states attor-
neys said would testify that Mathews
was a mild-tempered man and not
given to threats of violence might de-
tail their observance of Mathews
character from the stand. The court
called for a recess in order to allow
defense counsel to present further
authorities before proceeding with
the trial this afternoon.
The defense contended that char
acter witnesses should not be allowed
to testify for the slain man, since the
staying was not preceded by threats.
They declared that a statement al
legged 10 have been made by Mathews
to Adams, that | am going TO blow
your had off if you don't get out of
town." occurred simultaneously with
motion made by the banker which
the defendant interpreted as a move
to carry out the statement.
Presentation Of state rebuttal ev-
idence was halted this morning when
defense counsel objected to testi-
mony by witnesses as to the char
acter Of Mathews.
The state had summoned Is wit
nesses, who, it was understood, were
to testify that Mathews was a mild
hammered man who would not ordi-
narily make threats. and that if he
did he would not carry them out.
The defense's first objection came
when questions asked Frank W. Woz-
encraft, former Dallas mayor, in
dicated the state intended to intro
duce testimony relative TO Mathews
character. The objection was based
on the contention that Adams did not
have time to verify whether Math-
ews would carry out a threat he was
said to have made. Adams testi-
fled that Mathews said: "If you
don't get out of town I'm going to
get a gun and blow your head off"
and then stepped back, his hands in
his pockets. Thus. the defense claim
ed. the threat and an attempt to ex-
ecute it appeared to have been made
at the same time.
Judge Pippen ordered the jury out
OF the room while opposing counsel
argued.

cd Of refunding counties out Of the
statewide bond issue proceeds for
expenditures already made on desig-
mated highways, were the principal
points of contention.
The subcommittee finally decided
10 make no recommendations as TO
amount of the gas tax. but to simply
ask the legislature Ito make provi-
sions by law" for sources Of revenue
to build and maintain an adequate
road system, by levying a tax on
gasoline. n tax on commercial We
hicles transporting persons and prop
erty and fixing license fees on pri-
vately-owned motor vehicles.
IL was decided that the conStitu-
tional amendment proposed TO en-
power the state TO issue bonds for
highway construction would not spe-
officially name the gasoline tax as a
source Of revenue. Several commit
tee members objected to writing in
to the organic law a tax on the
products of any particular business
or industry.
Cone Johnson, member OF the high
way commission. said the people
would not approve a bond issue un-
less the gasoline tax was specifically
named as the source Of revenue to
retire the principal and pay the in
terest of the bonds. Such a consti-
tutional amendment would be in ef-
feet placing n lien on all property to
secure the bonds and taxpayers will
not stand for a property tax for this
purpose. he said. Under the pres
ent system no property tax is re-
quired in building or maintaining
highways, except where county bond
issues are involved. he said.
II. s. Sterling. chairman OF the
highway commission, father Of the
bond issue plan, said that even with
the tax as the source Of revenue, all
property Of the state would be in
volved, since a state bond is a lien
on all resources of the state.
