Grand Jury Takes
Up Hendrix Case

Grand jurors OF the 1892 coun-
ty grand jury today took up the
Staying of W. H. Mccoy by A. L.
Hendrix on a highway north Of
Holtville January 10, and observers
expected an indictment this after
noon charging Hendrix with muir
der.
An indictment by the grand jury
would eliminate the necessity Of a
preliminary hearing in justice
court. with its attendant cross-ex-
animation of witnesses by the de-
fense attorney.
Also such a move would probably
bring Hendrix into superior court
for arraignment next Friday. His
case, however, cannot be tried this
month, but must go over onto the
March calendar.
Hendrix is already charged with
murder in a complaint signed by
the brother of the slain man. Nc
Coy was killed during an argument
over cattle, and died as the result
of a blow on the head by Hendrix

activity began here. The Rev.
Thomas Read, who was the pastor
Of Old Drawers during the Revo-

It was about the year 100 when
