Harris County Courthouse In Austin Trial Roundup
In a single day court session at Austin only one juror was selected for the trial of Houston man Joseph F Selby accused of murdering his wife last November. Several potential jurors were disqualified amid opposition to capital punishment. Harris County Grand Jury indicted three murder cases: Mrs Gertrude Grimes in her husband s death, James L Gillies in a former employer s shooting, and Willie Franklin in the stabbing of Fred Winfrey. Restrooms in the Harris County courthouse and Civil Courts Building were desegregated with removal of White and Colored signs following a Commissioners Court order. Plans for a Harris County home for dependent and neglected Negroes faced a snag as the court was told the cost would be 292 500. Bales County s abandoned Home for the Aged was valued at 150 000 and originally aimed to finance a new project.
