No Special Term for the Conditt Murder Case
Edna Texas August 2. It is unlikely a special term of the district court will be held to try Monk Gibson and Felix Powell for murdering the Conditt family. Judge Wilson would call a special session but the prosecution deems it useless due to the need to appoint jury commissioners and draw a grand jury for indictments, which would consume so much time that the regular term would convene late September.
