Special Judges Sit On Ferguson Case
Acting Governor T W Davidson names Judge Alexander Coke of Dallas and Judge Howard Templeton of San Antonio to sit on the supreme court as special judge to answer certified questions in the injunction suit to keep James E Ferguson off the gubernatorial primary ballot. Chief Justice Cureton and Associate Justice Greenwood disqualified themselves due to prior impeachment proceedings involving Ferguson. It seems unlikely the court will rule before the primary as arguments cannot occur before June 11 and rulings would push into July.
