HICKMAN ENTERS PLEA
OF NOT GUILTY OF CHARGE
Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 3.—Williamr
Edward Hickman today pleaded not
guilty to the charges of kidnaping"
and murdering Marian Parker, by
reason of insanity. He at first plead-
ed insanity on the murder charge
alone, but changed it later to eover
both accusations.
Asked by the court if he knew the
insanity plea was an admission of
the killing, he replied, “yes.”
Superior Judge Hardy fixed the
date of trial as Jan. 25. At first he
named Jan. 24, but when he found he
was consulting a 1927 calendar, he
changed the date.
Hickman’s attorney, Jerome Walsh
of Kansas City, Mo., filed an affidavit
of fact asking for a delay in the
plea, but this was denied.
Following the taking of the plea,
Walsh asked for a 35 day continuance
of the trial, which is five days over
the legal limit in this state. The
judge ended the argument by setting
Jan. 25.
Hickman spoke only twice during
the short session. Throughout he sat
beside his lawyer at the counsel table
with his eyes on the floor. Behind
him was the only representative of
the Parker family, Perry Parker, a
brother of the slain girl. Young Par-
ker appeared to be under severe ner-
vous strain, riveting his eyes alter-
nately on the judge and the prisoner.
There was only one delay from the
time Hickman was led through heav-
ily guarded corridors to the court
room until he emerged against to the
county jail. This came in a confer-
ence between Judge Chambers and
Judge Hardy when Walsh asked for
a continuance.
The entire eighth floor of the hall
of justice was crowded solid with per-
sons seeking admittance to the court
room, but a heavy squad of guards
with tear bombs in their hands ready
for emergencies, maintained order.

that a representative from each
church in the Lampasas association
and as many more be present at this
meeting.
The meeting will be a very im-
portant meeting and all who are in-
terested in the general work of the
association ought to be present. At
our last meeting of this nature we did
not have very many present and our
good women were disappointed in not
having more on hand. It is discour-
aging to those who make preparation
for a meeting of this kind when the
people will not come. Will you come
and help to start the New Year off in
the right way? This meeting is not
only for the people outside of Lam-
pasas town,.but it is for you as well.
Outside of the local women we are
not having the attendance from the
church that we desire. So let’s put
together and see how we can make
the work go on.

LAKE VICTOR AND LITTLE-
FIELD PLAY BASKETBALL
The basketball team from Lake
Victor school defeated the team from
Littlefield school, by a score of 48
to 32, Tuesday night. The game was
played in Lampasas at the Leroy
opera house.
The Lake Victor boys, due to their
size and experience, should have won
the game by a much larger margin,
but being over-confident, they loafed
through most of the game.
The Littlefield team was greatly
handicapped by its smallness of
stature, but was in the game hustling
from start to finish.
Fire Wednesday Afternoon.
A garage at the home of T. E.
Rippey on First street caught afire
Wednesday afternoon about 2:45 and
was practically destroyed. The fire
department made a quick trip to the
scene and in a few minutes the blaze
was extinguished. The building was
so near the house it would probably

when it was. j, ... . t.
