Defense Prepares New Trial Motion in Roper Case
A motion for a new trial in the five year penitentiary sentence for Dr. C. HB. Roper was being prepared after a 98th District Court jury found him guilty in the July 18 1948 rifle slaying of 21 year old Dripping Springs man McCreary Crow. The filing would allow bond release and precede any appeal to the Court of Criminal Appeals. Court officials said the motion had not been filed by Monday.
