Pierce Cleared of False Swearing in Texas Trial
The jury acquitted H. Clay Pierce on false swearing charges in Austin Texas. Judge Calhoun ruled Pierce immune from trial under Texas law after State attempts to use testimony from a Missouri hearing. Pierce family supporters cheered as he left. Later Texas properties of Waters-Pierce Oil Co were auctioned for 1 451 741 to W Fordyce and associates of St. Louis while Security Oil Co and Navarra Refining Co assets were bought by John Sealey of Galveston for 85 000 and 750 000 respectively, part of anti trust suits and proceedings in Texas.
