stated "that he had made not less
than SO, 100000 and today he
was broke. "A rag, bone and a
hank of hair?' He'll! Kipling does

made her my wife. / gave her
everything that mortal woman,
even though the vainest, most
self conferred woman in the world
could want. / made a queen of

fool was stripped to his foolish
hide. killed her, yes. l killed
her and society should vote me a
debt of gratitude. / killed her,

well as old people of their own tribe. Now,
it is said, they have forsaken that primi-
tive custom, and eat dogs instead.

SECOND DEGREE MURDER VERDICT IS
REACHED IN CHIEF ELLFNBURG TRIAL;
SENTENCE MOON FOR HAMMER PLAY

were present when sentence was
meted out.
In sentencing Moon, HarwooC
clarified the courts position in ar
admirable manner. He pointed out
that many of Moons friends in
Texas had urged leniency in the
matter, but, he said, the jury took
those matters into consideration
when. the minimum verdict was
reached.
"The carnival was in a sense a
guest of the state and more par
ticularly of this community" the
judge stated. "You are here to
make money and the people come
to Fbe entertained. AS the result
of the nature of a carnival, the
people are more or less boisterous
in fact you encourage that feel
ing by your barkers and your
music. A certain amount of loud
talk-even insults-is to be ex-
pected. If Winsor was too loud you
had the recourse of either calling
Walter Sandine, the special officer
whom you knew, or of leaving
your booth until the trouble died
down."
Harwood pointed out that the
Moon Winsor attack may even have
resulted in the attack and subse-
quent death of Moore. He stated
that the entire altercation looked
as if it was timed by carnival en-
ployees. He pointed out that Moon
waited until Winsor was attacked
from behind and struck over the
head before he leaped from the
counter to assault the Belfry man
with a hammer.
He charged Moon with not using
good judgment, in any event, and
that the defendant lost his head,
an act which resulted in serious in
jury to the complainant.
"By Mrs. Moons testimony, it
does not appear that your wife
was insulted by Winsor," the Judge
stated. 4

discovered when Moore was exam
ined at a local hospital where he
died the following day.
With Ellenburg throughout the
trial was his wife, who is not a
carnival worker. She displayed
considerable agitation.
For the hammer clubbing of
James Winsor, also of Belfry, H.
M. Moon was sentenced at 9:45 a.
m. Wednesday on the basis of a
third degree assault verdict return
ed by a district court jury last
week. Harwood deducted 5000 from
the maximum fine as credit for the
approximately two months Moon
has spent in the county Jail, but
refused to slice any time from the
six months county jail sentence,
maximum as provided by law un-
der the jury verdict. IF the fine is
not paid Moon must serve it out
at the rate of one day for every
