Attorney Attacks
Alleged Confession
(Continued from Page One)
Zession is now the wife of Richey,
the defendant.
County Attorney Williams testi-
field that Richey was brought into
his office at Bastrop and that Lafe
Young. who accompanied the de-
fendant, told Williams that Richev
desired to make a statement con-
cerning the robbery at Austin.
"Richey told me the story and I
had him repeat several times in or-
der to get the facts all clear in my
mind. I had not heard of the case
before Richey made his statement.
I warned Richey that he did not
have to make a statement but that
if he did, any written statement
might be used as evidence against
him in the trial of the case.”
Witness said he reduced Riheys
confession to writing when the de-
fendant made his second statement
cf the case; that he handed the in-
strument to .Richey to read and that
the defendant then signed it.
"Rex Fowler and Lafe Young
were in the room part of the time
while the confession was made,"
Williams testified.
Attorney Shelton objected to the
introduction of the confession stat-
ing to the court that the confei-
sion was made when defendant was
under illegal arrest, that the de-
fendant was surrounded by a group
of officers away from friends and
before he could talk to his attor-
neys and that the defendant was
carried to a court in an adjoining
county instead of a Travis county
tribunal and that this was done in
violation of the statute governing
arraignment of defendants In court
Mrs. J. P. Wallace, 913 East
Ninth street, testified Richey rent-
ed an upstairs room at her home
and occupied it from the middle of
February until June 12 of this year.
Richey also rented her garage from
last April until June 12 and kept his
car there, she said. Bessie Hahn
rented a downstairs apartment m
her home in September, 1925, and
stayed there until June 12, she fur-
ther testified.
phoned the information gained from
Burkett to S. Ct Cappell in Whar-
ton county and told him to tell the
county commissioners that they
would have to raise some money to
get the proposition through.
Late Robertson of McAllen, con-
tractor who held maintenance con-
tracts last year for Lavaca, Jack-
son, Calhoun, DeWitt and Wharton
counties, admitted that he was
paid too much money on the con-
tracts. His profits amounted to
218,001 for the year, and he said
he did not dopate any money to
any one; that he did not subscribe
to or advertise ia the Ferguson
Forum, and admitted that there
were complaints from three coun-
ties about the manner in which the
roads were kept. He sublet con-
tracts in DeWitt and Lavaca coun-
ties, andmade 24000 on the former
and 22000 on the latter without
working, he -aid.
Walter Sayles, chairman of the
board of prison commissioners, has
been summoned before the house in-
vestigating committee, it was learn-
ed early on the fifth day of the
inquiry into state departments.
Koy I. Tennant, member of the
state board of control, who has
figured in the testimony of the last
two days, asked to go before the
probe body today.
J. R. Ferguson of Temple, nephew
of former Gov. James E. Ferguson,
has been summoned to tell what he
knows relative to the testimony of
W. c. Jackson of Temple, school
furniture salesman, Wednesday
when Jackson charged Ferguson
sought to split a commission on
a contract.
Late Thursday the committee
turned its inquiry into the purchas-
ing division of the state board of
control, which is under the charge
of Mr. Tennant, an appointee of
Governor Miriam A. Ferguson.
Dr. H. H. Harrington, chairman
of the board, and R. E. Walthall,
member, told the committee that
they had had nothing to do with
the emergency purchases during the
past few months. Harrington said
during the past four months that he
had been completely ignored by Mr.
Tennant in the letting of contracts
and the making of all purchases.
. Walthall explained that since the
‘ first of the year he has been out
of town working on the budgets of
the 55 state institutions and the 59
state departments to be submitted to
the next legislature.
With the arrival of Commissioner
Sayles, the committee is expected i
to make its Initial Inquiry into the
pardon board, and the granting of
pardons by Governor Miriam A. I
Ferguson and the methods em- ,
ployed. The commissioner brought,
with him voluminous records from;
the prison system.

At ..............
the party the host invited them in.
thinking they were guests. The
hoot was somewhat the worse for
the party, but he understood well
enough when Mr. Stevens assured
him that his mother would hear of
the affair. One guest, who bad hid-
den between the springs and the
mattress of a bed, was dragged out
by his patent-leather shoes, which
protruded from the bed.
The threat to inform the mothers
of the guests sobered the party con-
siderably and it broke up after a
lecture by Mr. Stevens.
