I . 1 ??mm Texas To Raise Fund * To Prosecute Judge AmariUo, Texas, June 5.?Shorn of ths |M>w?r ho hold while occupying* ft bench on the Texas supreme court'* commission of appeals. K. H. Hamilton, prominent Texts attorney who on May 4 shot and killed hU youthful son-in-law, Tom7 Walton, Jr.. | face* trial for murder in less than two weeks. Thirty-two year* ago, Hamilton, a student at Baylor, held spectators at bay with a six-shooter while fellow students horse-Whipped the famous W. C. Brann, "the Icono| claat.~ ; , ;?:?-?.?? On the morning of May 4, Walton prompted by his mother, Mrs. Grace Walton, local hotel operator, went I to the office of Judge Hamilton to i tell the attorney of his secret marriage with Hamilton's daughter, (Theresa, nineteen, a co-ed at Texas university. Austin. The marriage occurred on February 10, it was latter learned, while the young people were students Jn the university Fog eeverafl days Walton had been trying to communicate with the attorney, intending to "tell him everything" as his mother had advised. Mrs. Walton now claims that Judge Hamilton had obpected to the young people marrying, declaring that he would not allow his daughter to marry beneath him, and Walton was j without money oy social prominence. I Still the mother had confidence and advised her son j- "Tell the judge everything; I know he will be sensible." "I may get shot, but I'm going to do my mother's bidding," Walton remarked to friends on tne morning of the shooting. Before going to Hamilton's office he stepped across the hall arid chatted a moment with a stenographer of his - acquaintance. too, knew of his secret marriage, j "I am going in to see Judge Hamilton," Walton said. "If you hear any shooting, you will know that I am shot," v he continued. With such premonition, he opened the door of the office and was greeted with three slugs from his fathqriri-law's revolver. News of the shooting spread rapidly. Threats of mob violence followed throughout the day and Hamilton was kept in hiding after his release from jail on $20,000 bond. Three days later he was indicted by the Grand Jury and rearrested. Sheriff Bill Thompson placed guard about the jail until feeling subsided. The sheriff is a pioneer who came to the Panhandle when the cowboys enforced the law with theiF Tfx-guns. The prominence of Hamilton and his family; the popularity of Walton and his bride among the younger set( here and at the university; their' romance on the campus, culminating in their secret marriage; the collapse of the grief-stricken mother when she realised, that her son died obeying her own injunction: the refusal of the family to ahow the young widow the privilege df attending her husbaud's funeral; the statement of Hamilton that he shot todefend his family, and the later amendment of his statement by defense counsel who injected the plea of self-defense created widespread interest. * Sentiments of the public, whose feelings had been agitated by the nature of the slaying, were still further aroused by the fact that?although she accompanied the remains to McAlester, Oka.?the mother was unconscious at the time of the burial, while the youth's widow was bedfast at Austin, where she recently had undergone a major operation. Following Hamilton's indictment' District Attorney E. W. Thomerson announced that the case was not bailable. Under the Texas law a judge can grant bond unless he has reason to believe that the defendant will receive the death penalty. Hamilton will go on trial on June 13 unless attorneys start a fight for continuance or a change of venue. One of the biggest fights in the history of Texas looms. The day following the shpoting Hamilton announced the employment of three of Amarillo's leading law firms. Friends and sympathizers of the slain youth and his grief-stricken mother immediately began raising a public fund for the retention of special prosecutors to aid District Attorney Thomerson and his associates. Two prominent prosecutors have been employed through funds raised by business men of the city. Some idea of the widespread interest in the case may be obtained from the statement of the district attorney that contributions to the special fund had been received from' almoS every state in the union. His Tnair Is flobdecT with letter's from per* sons who have been aroused over the slaying, and from points as far away as New York City. Judge Hamilton's chances for freedom depend considerably upon the testimony of his daughter, it is believed, and it is not known to what extent she will come to the aid of her father who made her a widow. Theresa, who only recently withdrew from the university, is still fn Austin, as far as can be ascertained. ?he has never been reached for a Statement, reporters being barred from her apartment. Mrs. Hamilton, who was with her daughter in Austin until after the slaying came to Amarilk) a few days ago, leaving - the young widow in the care of an older sister. ' The district attorney's office will make a strong fight for the death penalty, which means .the electric chair in Texas. Many person, however, believe that aMe attorneys will keep Hamilton away from the chair, and perhaps the pehitnatiary. Hamilton first came into prominence in Texaa in 1897, when he assisted in horse-whipping W. C. Brann fditor of "The -Iconoclast," which had carried a stinging article on im: morality at JJfeeraity. : He graduated from the university in 1899 and wa* serving as'county judge of Port Lavaca tomftty, Texas, when Gov. Pat Neff, appointed him to the position of assistant attorney general. The governor later elevated him to the appeals commission of the Supreme Court. Although both of the young people claimed Amarillo as their home it is understood that their romance really developed on Texas University Campus. They slipped away to Georgetown, Tex., on February 10 secured a license and later were married by a Justice of the_ Peace at Austin. Even the girl's sorority sisters?she was a member of Gamma Phi Beta?did not know her secret. Soon after the marriage, Walton left the university and returned to Amarillo to aid his mother in earning a livelihood. He was working as night cleifc in a local hotel, other than the one operated by his mother at the time of his death. Walton was recognized on the campus as a "one-girl" man, and very much in love with his blode sweetheart. Both were popular in Amarillo.
