OEITH THREATS
RECITED DURING
IUURDER HEARING
fitnesses Testify That Stahl
Had Said He Would Kill
Ricker.
NOMINAL BAIL FIXED
Man Accused of Killing
Drink Stand Owner at
Liberty on $lOOO Bond.
' The nominal bail of $lOOO was fixed
in the case of Charlie Ricker charge'!
with the murder of Thomas C. Stnhl
on the morning of January 2. follow-
ing the examining trial Thursday after-
noon before Judge Ben S. t isk. The
defendant readily made bond and was
released. The killing occurred Tues-
dav morning in front of Stahl s soft
drink stand on N-w Braunfels arenue
after Ricker had oeen knocked down
dozen men were called to testify
in the examining trial many of them
eye witnesses to the killing. Two wo-
men were in the court room during the
trial but did not appear as witnesses.
Following the examination of wit-
nesses. William L. Schlesinger coun-
sel for the defendant told the court
that if it ehose to consider just the
testimony of the prosecution there- was
no doubt about the case being bailable
and asked that the court be as lenient
as possible and fix only a nominal
bond. .
. “No there is no doubt about the
ease being bailable” Judge Fisk said.
“J think that $lOOO will be sufficient.”
Sav Stahl Was “Fighting Mw."
Practically all the witnesses «xam-
ined were well acquainted in the
North New Braunfels avenue and
Army Post community and knew both
Stahl and Ricker. All save one. that
knew the two. testified Stahl had
threatened to kill Ricker. Those who
mw the killing testified that Ricker
shot after he had been knocked down
br the soft drink proprietor.
„ ‘Pat Smith who stated that he was
the friend of both men testified that
he took Ricker across the street to
see Stahl so that they might make up
and become friends again. This at-
tempt was the result of an alterca-
tion between the two men on New
Year’s eve night when Stahl sustained
a deep knife wound in his left arm.
Smith however testified that he heard
shots but did not see the shooting as
he said he was “making away from
there” when the shooting occurred. He
also testified that Stahl had his right
arm in a sling. This bit of testimony

was refuted by several subsequent Wit-1
nesses who said that Stahl a left arm
was in a sling.
B. H. Irwin. Tony Hiegler and H.
Anderson all defense witnesses testi-
fied that they knew of threats that
Stahl bad made against the defendant.
Each said that the dead man had stated
that he was going to “beat his brains
out.” and that they knew of the threat
being communicated to Ricker. They
also said that they knew Stahl to be
a fighting man.
■Ricker Just Shot First.”
When questioned regarding the kill-
ing witnesses said that they saw Rick- I
er knocked to the ground by Stahl I
when the former appeared with Pat |
Smith in front of Stahl’s soft drink j
stand. They also testified that Stahl
had his gun out when Ricker pulled I
himself to his feet by aid of a tele- ]
phone post and that the gun was in
a position to shoot. “Ricker just shot
first” they said.
W. G- Robb testified he saw Stahl |
on the night before the killing and
that he heard him make dangerous
threats against the defendant.
"The next morning I saw Stahl ]
again” the witness said and asked him
if he knew what he had said the
night before. “Yes” Stahl said ac-
cording to the witness “and I meant
every word of it.” The witness then
stated that he told Stahl he should be
more careful about what he said.
“Was Stahl intoxicated at the time?”
the prosecuting attorney asked.
“Yes.” was the answer. “He was
drunk the night he made the threats
bnt was not drunk the next morning
when he told me that he bad meant
what he said.”
Friend Testifies To Threats.
John E. King a witness for the
state testified that he was Stahl’s
friend and had been with him quite a
bit. He too stated on the stand that
he had heard Stahl make threats
against Ricker's life.
No witnesses answered in the af-
firmative when asked if they knew of
threats Ricker had made against Stahl.
Several however said that they knew
Ricker was armed after he had heard
of threats against his life.
Both pistols were produced in court.
Ricker was not called to the stand.
