Filling Station Holdup
Which Netted $5
A story of robbery because he
was hungry was told to police
Monday by Paul Gillespie, who
Sunday night held up the Gulf
Filling Station at Summit Avenue
and West Tucker, and robbed P.
: H. Brewster, Its manager, of $5.
I Gillespie was arrested by city
'defectives on Information of R.
N. Williams, the taxi-cab driver
who took him to ths scene of the
holdup. . •
Gillespie told police his mother
and father were both dead, hav-
ling been killed in France during
the war. He said he was gradu-
ated from the medical, college at
Baylor, Waco, in February, but a
check of records show that he was
a student’ there only for a short ′
time and wss not graduated. Rec-
ords from El Paso indicate that
his mother is still living, but he
declared that she was dead, when
confronted with the El Paso in-
formation.

ness,” referring to the operation
of public affalra.
“More than 3,500 persons are
employed to operate the munici-
pal government, public school
system and Tarrant County,”
Carr pointed out. This is exclu-
sive of judges and other district
court officials, and of ths at-

Prisoners From Here Go to
Huntsville
Four Tarrant County convicts
who were refused admittance to
the state penitentiary last month
after Judge George E. Hosey had
threatened to send the warden to
jail, are now safe behind the walls
of the prison.
They were taken to Huntsville
Sunday by Bud Russell, state
penitentiary agent.
The prisoners were Bobble
Bobbie Wells, James Kelly, Arnold
Jacobs and W. C. West. A month
ago they were taken to the doors
of the penitentiary by Sheriff
Red Wright, on instruction
Judge Hosey, but were refused
there, and then returned to Fort
Worth, to be locked in the jail
here again.
