COURT

~ JIMMIl -. JONES

A jury of II women and one
man, began hearing the case of
Calvin Nelson, ~, indicted for the
shooting of Wilbur Bookhammer,
38, of 237 S. Ludlow st. on the
afternoon Of May %, 1851.
According to Nelson's attorney,
Paul Prear, trying his first case
before a jury, his client acted in
self-defense and shot Bookhammer
after he had been beaten with a
baseball bat by the complainant.
Assistant Prosecutor, Russell
Carter contends, the shooting was
the aftermath of a drinking party
by both men, and that there was
no evidence shown where Nelson
had been attacked by the COM
plainant, and that Nelson was the
aggressor in the brawl. Follow
ing the opening statements by
both sides, Rebecca Back, next
door to Nelson, told the jury of
seeing and hearing the argument
between the two men, and Of tell
ing Bookhammer to come out Of
Nelson's house and leave him a.
lone. She told of hearing the shot
fired and of seeing Bookhammer
leaning against the house and Of
seeing Nelson standing in the door
of his house with the shotgun
resting in his left arm.
Bookhammer, followed her to
the stand and told of how he and
Nelson had been drinking all day,
and of Nelson becoming angry at
him for "jokisg" with him prior
to the argument. He told of going
over to the home of Mrs. Back,
and cf feelings her he was going
back and a~ologize for the remark
made to Ne'scn. He told Of an
other man called Joe, who asked
him to wait for him before going
off to get some more wine, and
of Nelson picking up the ball bat
and hitting him with it. It was
then, the complainant said, he
wrestled the bat out of the hands
of Nelson in his own defense and
of Nelson grabbing the 16 gauge
shotgun and firing on him.
Bookhammer admitted to Prear
in the cross-examination, he had
been with Nelson all day and that
he had purchased the wine con-
sumed in the party. Following
was the testimony Of Clifford b.
lender, chief, investigator for the
Sheriff's office, who told of cues
, 1951-10-26

prices during the coming months.
Other factors, less obvious at
first, enter into the consideration
Of domestic consumption prospects.
For example, an expected 80 per-
cent drop in housing competitions
will have an adverse effect on de-
mand for such items as cotton
rugs, drapery and upholstery IA
brics and curtains.
Meanwhile, the agriculture de-
partment's annual cotton survey
forecasts the largest export move
ment of cotton since World War
Two. The removal of export re-
strictions is expected to encourage
the shipment Of about six million
bales during the cotton year.
