B. BB. Bishop, alias- Buster Bishop went on trial in the 70th district court Monday on a charge of theft of several hundred feet of copper wire from the Conti nental Oil company Jease in the Howard-Glasscock field a month ago. To trial was based on one of two indictments the state has against Bishop, who also stands charged with theft of riding sad dles from the Hardy Morgan ranch headquarters southeast of Big Spring. During the morning, Foster Harmon, chief clerk for Conti nental in this district, testified as to the loss and value of the wire, to the comparison of tracks made by trailer tires and shoes to those of the defendant’s trailer and shoes, and to the comparison of markings on the wire where it was detached from poles in the field. Most of the week was due to be given over to hearings on criminal cases, most of them originating this term of court.
