Elder Jury Disagrees.

 

     MARLIN, Texas, Aug. 6. – The jury in the Lee Elder case was unable to agree and was discharged.  Lee Elder had been on trail for the killing of a 2-year-old child in a landlord-tenant feud some time ago.  Will Elder, brother of Lee, died Thursday.  He had been sick since Saturday when he finished testifying in his brother’s case.
