Dave Goodwin seeks relief after Texas Court of Criminal Appeals upheld his electric chair conviction for the 1940s killing of Lloyd Elliott, a Dalby Springs farmer. The defense argues venue bias and trial unfairness, citing mob pressure and a key technical error in the charge. The appellate panel acknowledged a faulty and impartial trial but ruled no reversal was warranted. The case draws attention to legal standards for fair trials amid heightened rural tensions.

Arkansas seeks uniform drivers license act in coming session
The Arkansas Automobile association says a fourfold uniform drivers and chauffeurs license act will be pushed in the next general assembly. Senator Edward B. Dillon will sponsor in the upper house. The plan, aligned with national standards, aims to remove reckless drivers from the roads and requires licenses for all self propelled vehicles except farm machinery and official military use. Reciprocal rights would apply to non residents licensed in their home states, while those from states without license laws would need Arkansas licenses. Age and suspension provisions would bar underage or suspended drivers and habitual drinkers from licensing.
