FORMER JUDGEIN JAILFOR WURDER Shot Dunghiae’s Husbed When Tod o Ther Scr Marine Amarille, Tex., May 9 UP—R. H. | Hamiiton, former judge of the Texus | supreme court appeals commission, | was in jail here today. under in- dictment for the murder of his son- n-law, Tom Waliton, Jr. Walton was shot to death in Hamilton's office last S8aturday when he went there at his. mother's. in- sistence to tell of his secret marriage to Theresa Hamilton, ~19-year-old daughter.of the slayer. Hamilton was arrested last night after a grand jury had returned: the murder indictinent. District Attor- ney Edward W. Thompson said the | state would contend the cast was not - bailable. * Counsel for the lawyer had made no attempt to have him re- leased on bond early today. Tom Walton, Sr., father of the 21- year-old University of Texas student, yesterday revealed in McAlester, Okla., where the youth was buried. that Hamilton had forbidden the marriage of Theresa to his son. “Hamilton said he would never let his daughter marry beneath him,” Walton said. “He already had refused to let them marry, but the boy's mother insisted, as soon as she found out they had been marricd secretly last February 10, “that Tom should tell Hamilton.” Walten indicated to friends his be- | lief that Hamilton, wealthy and leading member of the bar in Texas, opposed the marriage because young Walton had no wealth and ‘was net socially prominent. 1t was said considerable sentiment had been avoused at McAlester where young Walton was popular while attending high school. The Walton family moved to Texas from McAlester four years ago. Mrs. Walton who had been uncon- scious from the shock of her son's death, was reported improved at Mc- Alester. Young Walton's widow stiil was n seclusion at Austin, recovering her riother said, from an operation for appendicitis. On being told of her husband’s indictment, Mrs. Hamilton t in bettr that he be indicted. Now the thing can be settled for all time." Asked whether Theresa would go to her father, Mrs. Hamiiton said T ean't tell yet what our plans will be. They haven't been made.” Canzoneri Can’t Win Back Feather Title Chicago.

Mildred Lawrence falls love with Stephen Armitage, who is lured away from her by Pamecla Judson when she tells him that Mildred is trying to marry her brother, Harold, for his money. Harold fears Huck Connor because he holds a check which he forged. Huck is infatuated with Pamela, who plays him to make Stephen jealous. AVhen Pamela meneuvers Stephen into an ‘engage- ment, Huck frames him for the theft of an auto and causes his ar- rest. Pamela breaks their engage- ment, but Mildred goes to see him in jail and promises help. Harold had once confessed his fear of Huck to Mildred and said that Huck threatened to “‘get Armi- tage” to keep him from marrying Pamela. 8he determines to force Harold to help her, and is shocked to hear of his death—apparently accidental. 8he tells Stephen of her suspicions but there is no proof. In desperation, Mildred goes to Pamela and tells her story. Pamela sends her to Mr. Judson, who takes her to headquarters to repeat her suspicions about Huck. He bails out Stephen and Pamela goes to him for forgiveness. The taxi in which Ste. phen is riding with a lawyer and detective to the hotel is being fol- to be ready for an attack. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY | CHAPTER XX The taxicab in which Stephen | rode with the men who were charged with seeing him safely to the Judson Hotel made slow prog- ress toward First avenue. Oerndorf regretted that he had chosen the route in order to avoid the delay on Fifth avenue. He knew that First avenue presented a better opportunity to anyone de- siring to spced away from the scenc of an accident or a shooting. But it was too late to turn back. Should they try -it their purpose would b2 easily guessed. It was better to give no indication that | they knew they were being fol- lowed. They had the advantage there. ‘Their defense would be a surprise. This thought held him from sug- gesting a change of route. As for Stephen, he welcomed a chance to come to grips with Huck or his men. But he'd have given anything for a gun. He knew tha men behind him weren't equipped with popguns. Frean was only doing his duty. 1t was all in the day's work to him. | Btill, when they reached rira, avenue and turned north on that amazing strect of push carts and limousines, all three were tense and | alert. : A quick glan-e sufficed to reveal | that their followers werc hanging on. | The driver held to the center of the street until they came to the turn in the “{.."” Nothing was like- ly to happen in the shadow of that sruclure, be rcasoned, with the streets crowded at the curb by the push carts and the pillars of the elevated ofiering further obstruction. But when he came to the open he edged gracually over to the right, though not suspiciously slowing up behind the trucks. He dodged around them when necessary. The green light was with him when he drove out from under the eleveted. He was not compelled to stop in the center of the street with room for the other car to draw up beside him on he right. He knew why Frean did not want that. The detective, himself seated on the right, would have a far bet- ter opportunity to use his gun on anyone at the left. Three blocks farther on the lights changed. - Again fortune favored those in the leading taxicab. A huge truck stood between it and the side- walk. This did not suit the men in the second cab. They'd discovered Frean's presence in Oerndorf's taxi before Stephen entered it. But they had no means of knowing that n was there for any unusual reason. To them it was natural enough that Stephen, knowing he had heen framed should desire protection. But that he could guess at the orders Huck had given in regard to him scemed improbable. They gave no thought to the | adage, “cherchez I fegime.” There | are people who will say “scek the | precipitated woman,” whenever there is trouble, and others who will say it before. These men would have done well to remember that a woman was juter- ested in Stephen. For one of them. at least, there was no excuse in failing to do so inasmuch as it was he who had warned Mildred against trying, to make Harold talk. Like- wise it was he who had reported to Huck that she was visiting Stephen in his cell. Had it not been for Mildred's love for him Stephen would at that me- ment have been completely at the mercy of Huck's villains. “We've gotta go through with it," they'd decided upon secing Frean. “We got the break." *“And I'd like a chance to pay off that flattie for running me in,” one observed viciously. * “Better keep your mind on your busine: his companion warned him. ou ain't here to even up any old scores. If we fall down on this job it ain't gonna be healthy for us in Connor's neighborhood.” As the signal light changed to green and their car started for- ward, both Stephen and Frean felt that something was due to happen soon, At the next change of signal the first taxicab ran through, the driver thinking the other car might stop and be left a plock behind. But the second car came tearing along close upon him, though only narrowly avoiding a collision with a truck that had nosed out for a quick start across the avenuce. The first car was compelled to| come to a stop ot the next inter- section of strects. Crosstown traffic had got too well under way there to allow the driver to go on. Be- sides, had he tried to get through it would have been proof to the men following that he was trying to shake them off, thus letting them | know they could not hope to pull off & surprise attack. The second car came along more | slowly. I'rean grippcd his gun with a firmer hold. He sat like a grave image, but keyed and waiting to a This was the moment. Whatever was to take place surely must take place now . Trean felt he had the advantage. The other car was forced to ap- proach on the left. There was, of | course, the danger that the gun-| man pi *d to do the shooting — Frean believed that would be the plan—might alight in the rear and come up on the right. But such « course of action would place him too far from his taxi; Frean rea- soned. The shots would be fired from the | car. He was sure of that. Oerndorf was wishing he had heeded Stephen’'s sugzestien and ed an officer. No doubt, as he 4 such a move would hawc the trouble, hut at least it would have heen over by 1t was damned uncomfortable g to be shot at. Kecp over.” my way. Oerndorf shrank farther into the corner. Stephen pulled‘himself up and lonked into the special mirrer that provided anyone in the tonneau scat a rear view of the road. He saw the second car quite elose, coming up alongside of inem. Frean, watching, hawk-eyed, saw it too. He lcaned forward and lifted his gun until it was pointing through the window of the cab. The other car rolled into ‘position but did not come to a full stop. Just as it was a few fect in advance of Oerndorf’'s cab a man's head and shoulders appeared suddenly at the | shelter, [in the license number of the other | | car. Frean said tonsely, | o him and Stephen. “Don't get in | oven window on the right. He raised s» arm and thrust a | gun directly at the occupants of the Oerndorf cab. Two shots were fired simuita- neously. One, aimed at Frean, passed through the back of the seat be- tween him and Oerndorf. The gun- man had meant to get the detective first and let Stephen have his scc- ond shot. An instant too late he had seen | the gun in Frean’s hand. The one shot Frean fired caught the gun- man in the wrist, shattering the small bones and wringing a cry of | anguish from his lips while his pis. | tol went clatiering to the pave- ment, His driver did not even look | around. The car was in second gear and he lost not an instant in taking | advantage of the flying start that allowed him. With the throttle wide open he | went roaring away and out of sight around the corner hefore anyone | could make a move to stop him. Frean lcaned from the window to take a parting shot but the danger of hitting some other motorist in the crosstown traffic was too great to risk, He ordered his dviver to pursue the fleeing car hut precious sec- onds were lost in getting away from a full stop. And in these few scant seconds the street intorscction ha become a scene of confusion. People in gang war shooting, and some to see what was happening. A policeman appeared. | but not in time te get anything but a garbled account of what had oc- | curred. For a block or two the pursuing | taxicah managed to keep within | sight of the other. but then the gun- | men got away in downtown traffic | on Second avenue. | When Frean realized that he | could not overtal:e them he stopped | hir own cab and got out to tele- ! whone policz hoadquarters and turr: | It was no surprise to him to be | told that 10 ninutes before the | sume number had been turncd in as heing that of a tolen car. !
