6 JURY INVESTIGATES AMARLLOSLAYNG: Burial of Tom Walton, Victim‘ of Father-in-law, Followed | by Hearing. the Associated Pre:s. AMARILLO, Tex.. May 8.—As R. H. Hamilton, prominent attorney, awaited action by the grand jury here for the killing of Tom Waiton, jr., 21, who | secretly married Hamilton’s 19-year- | old daughter, Theresa, the body of the | slain youth was buried yesterday at McAlester, Okla. The funeral was conducted by the Order of DeMolay, to which Walton, a | University of Texas student, belonged. | Mrs. Grace Waiton accompanied her | son's body to McAlester, where the | family formerly lived. She was pros- trated by grief and physicians said | her_condition was grave. | Walton's young widow remained in | Austin, Tex., in the care of her mother | and an elder sister, Helen | She would not discuss her attitude toward her father, who shot Walton to death at his law office here Saturday | when the vouth called to ennounce the secret wedding which took place last February. Leaves Bed First Time. Pale and visibly affected by the tragedy, the girl was able to leave her sick bed for the first time since learning of the slaying. She was taken from her apartment for a brief drive and Gamma Phi Beta Sorority sisters at the University of Texas were permitted | to visit her. Mrs. Hamilton refused to divulge any information that might shed furthcr light on the shooting of her son-in-law, other than to say newspaper_ reports did not fully reflect the truth. Hamilton refused to elaborate on his statement made immediately after the slaying that “I'd rather die than kill a man. but T had to protect the honor of my home.” Witnesses Are Questioned. | The grand jury continued the exami- nation of witnesses. | A fund of $1,500 was reported to have been raised among friends and sympathizers of Walton for prosecut- ing Hamilton. A Fort Worth law firm | has been retained to aid in the prose- cution. It was learned that three law firms have been employed to defend Hamil- ton, a_former commissinoer of Texas Supreme Court. The striking similarity between the Walton case and the Killing in 1925 of E. L. Robertson, 18, by Frank Col- lier, the mayor of Wichita Falls, Tex., | was recalled today. In each instance the | killing grew out of difficulties created | by the early marriage of a daughter of wealthy parents to a poor youth. Tom Walton at the time of his death had come home from the University of Texas to go to work, and at the prompt- | ing of his mother, visited Hamilton | to reveal the marriage.

Most of her songs chosen for this program were light numbers which made no dramatic requirements whatsoever. She sang her one cperatic air—-Pace, Pace,” from Verdi’s “Forza del Destino"—admirably. Miss Peters has an unusually appeal- ing personality and won her audience to enthusiasm that seemed most spon- taneous after her singing of Del Ricgo's “Homing.” She gave as enccres “Annie the latter sung to the club members.

A large audience attended the con- cent offered last night by the Wash- ington Pianists' Club in the auditorium of the Columbia Heights' Christian Church. The two soloists of the eve- ning were Kathryn Beck and Martha McAdams, who were featured in in- dividual recitals of classical and modern plause. Miss Beck, presented by Helen Cor- | bin_ Heinl, played as her first group Bach's “Toccata in D Major” and the first movement of the “Sonata, Opus 180, by Beethoven. She rendered both | numbers with a crisp touch, fine shad- | ing and excellent phrasing, though oc- | casionally she forced the single tones |too much. Barring certain manner- | isms, she is a capable pianist. As her | second group, Miss Beck played “Wid- {mung,” by Schumann-Liszt, and the | “Viennese Carnival Scene” by Schu- mann. In her performance of the “Widmung” the tempo was too slow ‘ and erratic; it should have been played with more fire and abandon. The arnival Scene” was artistically done. | Miss Beck concluded her recital with a ic and delicate rendition of the sec- |ond movement of Chopin's “E Minor Concerto,” with the able co-operation | of Mrs. Heinl at the second piano. | "After the intermission.
