The defense for Indain planning insanity, appointed by Judge M. G. Seffrey of Lockhart, aims to base the case on temporary insanity. The trial, held in a Scouts hall, drew about 800 spectators including students observing legal procedures. The accused, chained and seated, glowered as prosecutors outlined statements linking Motavilla Villareal and others to the murder of Evangeline Cavazos, whose body was found near the show grounds four blocks away.
