Cullen F. Thomas of Dallas, distinguished attorney and leader in the democratic party in Texas, testified to his reputation back in the days when they were classmates in the law school at the university with William H. Atwell, now United States district judge here, and Former Cong.

James Young, candidate for governor. Brady arose and grasped Mr. Thomas' hand when he left the stand and took a seat at the counsel table. 26 Put on Stand From far and near the defense marshaled 2S leaders in the legal profession, bankers, business men Colorado River Falls After Rise During Week-End Oklahoma City, who will speak on the convention program later. He introduced Alvin S.

Owsley, former national American Legion commander, now president ot the Dallas Lions club. A large bouquet of flowers was en the speaker's stand, bearing greetings of Austin Exchange club: and committees were read naming the Austin Kiwanis club as helping in providing transportation for visitors. Sen. Julien C. Hyer, Fort 'Worth, who two years hence la to be International Lions president, was warmly applauded when he was presented.

Dist Gov. A. C. Kater, who has spent a year traveling over Texas in advancing the civic organization, was accorded a rising vote of congratulation as he entered the convention hall. Texas now has 243 out of the J1B8 clubs of Linns in half a iozm nations, Mr.

Kater reportPd. Texas has 841 6 members out of the 77,729 in Lions International. Working for Better State "I want to brine to your attention the great force of Lionism and its great opportunities in Texas," Gov. Kater hegan. "I want you also to realize our great responsibilities for service.

"Texas Linnism is free from undesirable political activities, and in position to do much good for the communities in which clubs exist," ha reported. "The state has been rpnde a better place in which to live by the work of your clubs," he told the delegates. Wichita Falls boys' band played at the beginning of the first convention session.

It. Barrett. Mrs. A. over repeated reference to the death of Lehlia Highsmith.

Once Atty. Ted Monroe of the defense protested that was insulting George Waverly Briggs on the stand. McCraw replied hotly that "They've insulted every witness we've brought here, your honor." McCraw occasionally observed to witness that "It isn't unusual for a man to become crazy after he has killed somebody" and often asked the witness if he had ever heard of Brady "harming anybody before he killed Lehlia Highsmith." The now famous Waters-Pierce Oil corporation suit in which Brady represented the state was mentioned often today. State's attorneys finally put forth an Inquiry as to whether or not it was true that several other now prominent men had a part in the case. Brady is reported to have been paid by the state after the state got a judgment of more than J2.0U0.000 in the lawsuit and ousted the corporation from the state, testimony developed.

Will Brady III Dayton Moses of Fort Worth, senior counsel for Brady, directly-examined many of the witnesses put on today. It was the first day he had been very active in the case. Will Brady of Ventura, brother of the defendant, is ill in his room at a local hotel and will be confined to his bed for several days, it was learned today. He suffered a heart attack last week and has been ordered to rest by his physician. All day long, spectators kept asking each other about when Mrs.

Brady would testify, it being apparent that her story of the sordid affair between her husband and the slain girl is to be the card that draws the crowd. But she waited in a witness room all day long, seeing her husband for a few minutes during the noon recess, but not appearing in the courtroom all day. Work Rushed on Camp Sdccit to Th 4uMn Amtrtcan SAN MARCOS, May 12. work was rushed getting the San Marcos Academy's new small boys' camp dress and seemed obsessed with the idea and intent of suicide. That was a few months before the death of Miss Highsmith.

Had Seen Brady Despondent J. K. Brim of Sulphur Springs, for several yews in the state food and drug department in Austin, said Brady had made similar remarks to him, and seemed despondent because he thought his friends had forsaken him. Not a few of those who testified today said they had come to avoid Brady when they saw him because he did not talk in a logical vein or because he was drinking. Only one witness offering anything bordering on expert testimony was offered by the defense.

He was W. M. Mose worth of Glen-iosp, for many years a resident of Austin, once a Texas ranger, a policeman and a deputy sheriff in Travis county, and for four years assistant supetvisor of the state hospital for the insane. He said it was his opmion Judge Brady is now of unsound mind. Most of the witnesses offered sa ill Brady had become careless of his dress which they regarded as a sign of addiction to alcohol.

J. Lee Costley of Dallas, formerly of Austin, said that in the old days Brady was the "neatest, nicest fellow- you ever saw," Testify as to Character Gen. M. M. Crane of Dallas, formerly lieutenant governor and attorney general and once a state senator, was used as a character witness, but didn't attempt to say what he thought Brady's mental condi'ion is now.

John W. Pope, anotin-r well known Dallas attorney, also testified that Brady's ieputu'ion always Pad been good. Jewell P. Light foot of Fort Worth, former attorney general and ex-mis-ci- of the Masonic grand of Texas, who was at one time a law partner of the defendant, was a character witness, but diii not sMfy as to Brady's sanity or iiis.uii'.y. Brady served uri-Vr l.liii as an assistant attorney tienei'U 1.

Sam jlcfley of Cameron, a of the legislature, and E. B. Hobi-m, an ex-county attorney of Ito'T'i" 'unty, hth said thev had More Reports of Damage In Anderson Bend Discovered known Brady for many years, and that his reputation was excellent. J. C.

Bird of Dallas, lawyer and 'ocal politician, said he knew Brady well and that he thought lie was crazy. Georgetown Men Called Among other witnesses used during the day to testify to Brady's reputation and mental condition were Sam Gales of Runge, Luke Mankin of Georgetown, and C. M. Spradley of Collin county, all members of the legislature; Martin Win-frev, Lynn B. Milam, Charles F.

O'Donnell and W. H. Ratcliff, all widely known Dallas lawyers; George Waverly Bi'iggs, vice president of the First National bank of Dallas; W. B. Head, chairman of the board of the Texas Power and Light company; Nat Gentry, Tyler attorney; Harry Fisher, Alpine attorney; and Glenn Pricer, managing editor of the Dallas Dispatch.

The parade of character testimony was long and seemingly inexhaustible. Defense attorneys had shifted their tactics and were putting on Brady's blood relations when the recess for the day was taken. State's attorneys showed no concern over the foundation laid for the insanity plea, sometimes cross examining the witnesses with sharp queries, but more often excusing them, after showing they were not experts.

Ted Monroe for the defense dried a few tears from Ins eyes hen Brady's oral biography was being related from the witness! stand, touched by the stories of his straight forwardness as a young man. Defense attorneys set out to show today, through some of their wit- nesses. that Krady was in such a morose mental state that lie thought all of his friends had turned against him, and that he i had talked of killing himself.

Judge C. R. Staines of San An- tonio, formerly a Justice of the I peace in Georgetown and once county judge in Eastland ooiin'y, was one to whom Brady expressed such ideas. Sdarnes testified.

Rev.

He asserted that too little attention is given to youth and urged the Lions to look at youths as they are, charging that moderns have become so immersed in business that thev forget other things.
