Dr. and Mia W. A. Wood of Waco arrived in Amarillo Thursday night too late to stop their son Jack Wood 28 from being arrested on a counterfeiting charge. Jack, principal of the Lamar ward school in Pampa, had been pursued after assurances from his parents that he was not normal. They obtained a sanity warrant at Fort Worth but reached Pampa too late for service before his arrest. They cited long hours, heavy work, and money worries as factors, noting a $1000 withdrawal from the Pampa National Bank.
