The father has a police record dating back to 1926, including a 12-year term at the Texas State Prison for trouble with the law when his mother took him to Boys Kanch. At the ranch Howard was considered a normal, healthy boy. He was slightly laiy and needed close supervision, ranch officials said, but he attended school regularly and had passed the eighth grade when his mother decided to take him away from the ranch. Mrs.

Cosdren told ranch officials she was remarrying and wanted to make borne for the boy. "Some home," Howard said bitterly. "The marriage lasted a week. Why did she have to take me away from Boys Kanch?" This was In a 1962, shortly after Howard's 16th birthday. The youth did nol start school in September.

On the eighth day of September, Howard was arrested and charged with stealing 30 cars and committing three burglaries and two from antos. He was placed on probation. Three weeks later he was back again this time having stolen six cars and committed two burglaries. Howard was sent to the Texas A'outh Center at Gatesville. He was released from the center on June 5, 1963.

Last August Howard was in trouble again, but this time he was past the juvenile age and was sentenced to seven years adult probation on a burglary charge. Following i sentence Howard was returned to the city jail where he was tried on several traffic tickets dat- was fined $30. Mrs Conred secured his release from the city Jail a few days later and Howard went to work on a New i ranch. He returned to Amarillo about a month ago, he said. He has not worked since.
