HOWARD H. GOODMAN INSTANTLY KILLED; WIFE IS ARRESTED

MURDER CHARGES ARE FILED AFTER FATAL SHOOTING WEDNESDAY MORNING

Howard H. Goodman, 46, city employee in the sanitary department, was instantly killed as he left the Corsicana Hospital and Clinic shortly after 10 o'clock this morning when he was struck by two bullets, one taking effect in his heart and the other striking him on the left side of the abdomen and emerging from his back.

Mrs. Hattie Goodman, wife of the dead man, was arrested at the home of Jesse Hart, 1421 West Tenth Avenue, soon after the shooting by Deputy Sheriff Allen Callaway and W. G. Ivy. A formal charge of murder was filed against Mrs. Goodman by Deputy Sheriff Callaway in Justice of Peace W. T. McFadden�s court.

Examining Trial Held.
Bond in the sum of $2,500 was set by Judge W. T. McFadden at the conclusion of the examining trial held at 2 o'clock Wednesday, and the defendant was remanded to the county jail until the bond was signed and approved.

Criminal District Attorney John R. Curington represented the state and Joe Edens Anderson the defendant at the brief hearing. Otto F. Woods, admitted eyewitness, was the only person placed on the stand.

Under questioning by the district attorney, Woods said that he saw the defendant and the deceased standing on the corner of the hospital grounds about 10 o'clock, that he did not see a gun in the woman�s hand but heard shots after the deceased had made a motion with his hand toward her. He stated that he saw Goodman�s body after the shooting and saw a wound in his chest near the heart, one in his abdomen and another on his arm. He said he heard the defendant make no statement, and that there was nobody in the car with her.

Under questioning by Defense Attorney Anderson, Woods said that his attention was attracted by the motion of the deceased�s arm toward the defendant.

At the conclusion, Anderson asked that as small a bond as possible be set, declaring that the evidence indicated that the case was one of self-defense.

Several shots were reported fired and the proximity of the site to the downtown business section resulted in a large crowd gathering within a few minutes, and considerable excitement was caused.

Near Hospital.
Goodman was reported to have been injured several weeks ago while working on a city trash truck and had been under treatment by physicians since that time. He was reported to have been leaving the hospital after receiving treatment Wednesday morning when he was killed.

Sheriff Rufus Pevehouse reported that Mrs. Goodman had filed a charge of aggravated assault against her husband late last Saturday, alleging that he had beaten her severely with a crutch, and exhibiting wounds alleged to have been inflicted. Goodman was arrested Saturday night by Deputy Sheriff J. M. Westbrook on the charge and was later released on bond. The case has not been tried.

The body was taken in charge by Corley Funeral Home, and funeral arrangements had not been completed early Wednesday afternoon.

Goodman resided at 621 North Beaton street. He is survived by his wife, a son, H. L. Goodman and other relatives.

WITNESSES TELL OF FATAL SHOOTING NEAR HOSPITAL LAST YEAR

Numerous witness testified Tuesday morning in the trial of Hattie Goodman in district court, on a murder charge as the result of the fatal shooting of her husband, H. H. Goodman, city employee, near the Corsicana Hospital and Clinic, August 26, last year. indications at the Tuesday noon recess of court were that the state had practically completed the introduction of testimony and defense witnesses will probably be used during the afternoon session.

When arraigned on the indictment Tuesday morning, Mrs. Goodman entered a plea of �not guilty.�

Only a few spectators have attended the sessions of the trials thus far and little interest has been manifested by the public in the case.

Son is Witness.
Herman Goodman, 26, son of the slain man, testified his father was employed in the sanitary department of the city of Corsicana. He said his father was living with him at the time of his death and that the deceased was suffering a back injury. The injury was occasioned, according to the witness, from a fall from a truck, and also it was necessary for him to use a crutch in walking. Herman Goodman further testified that he (Herman) carried the slain man to the hospital about 9 o'clock in the morning of the day he was fatally shot and next saw his father an hour later after he had died. He said that he met Hattie Goodman, the defendant, in an automobile.

Herman Goodman stated his father had resided with him on West First Avenue for several days (six or seven) prior to his death and before coming to his (Herman�s) house, had resided with Hattie on North Beaton street for two or three months. No questions were propounded the witness by the defense.

Nurse on Stand.
Lenore Gooch, 516 North Commerce street, undergraduate nurse at the hospital, testified she saw both Mr. and Mrs. Goodman at the clinic on the morning of the shooting. Defense objections to the effect the witness was in the courtroom for a short time Monday afternoon were overruled by Judge Howell. The witness said that Goodman left the hospital with Mrs. Goodman behind him. Goodman was using a crutch to aid in walking. Shortly after the couple left the hospital, Miss Gooch testified, she said she heard what sounded like a backfire and then four successive reports.

The nurse related she hurried to the door of the clinic after a nurse had said the woman was shooting a man. She stated the position of the deceased as she first saw him with his back to her and also the defendant with a gun in her hand. She said Mrs. Goodman put the gun in her purse and ran east from the clinic. Miss Gooch said Goodman then tuned toward her and slumped as he neared her. She said that H. H. Goodman groaned and said, She shot me,� as he fell to his knees as she reached him. The witness said Goodman died within four or five minutes.

Under cross-examination conducted by Norris Lovett, Miss Gooch said Goodman weighed between 170 and 180 pounds and was six feet tall or more. She also admitted that a piece of iron was attached to the crutch used by the deceased.

She said she did not notice any knots or bruises on Mrs. Hattie at that time, but later there was a knot on her forehead and bruises on her arms and one eye blacked when she examined her in Mrs. Caldwell�s apartment. She described the three wounds, one near the heart, one under the lung and one in the arm.

Miss Gooch testified under redirect examination that she was not certain, but believed the defendant�s eye was black when she saw her in the hospital the morning of the trouble. Evelyn Scoggins was the nurse she said was at the window and saw the shooting. Miss Scoggins was reported in San Antonio and was not present at the trial Tuesday morning. The subpoena issued for her by the state was introduced by Criminal District Attorney Miller.

Did Not see Shooting.
Mayes Green, negro porter at the Corsicana Hospital and Clinic, testified Goodman came to the clinic for treatment. He said he saw Mrs. Goodman in the clinic the morning of the shooting, but testified that he did not see the shooting and saw the slain man after the trouble. He remembered five shots. Under cross-examination, the porter said Goodman was a big man and used a crutch.

Dr. W. T. Shell, Sr., said Mrs. Caldwell and Dr. Shell, Jr., treated Goodman and he been coming to the clinic for several weeks. He said Hattie Goodman was at the clinic the day of the trouble, but was not a patient. He said, he did not see the couple leave his place, but heard shots and saw Goodman on the sidewalk, dead, but did not see the defendant.

Under cross-examination, Dr. Shell said Mrs. Goodman often came to the clinic with her husband when he was treated.

Arthur Wareing, undertaker, Corley Funeral Home, was called and said he prepared Goodman�s body for burial. He also described the wounds in the body of Goodman, but declined to state whether they were fatal wounds.

Mrs. Stella Goodman, wife of Herman Goodman, daughter-in-law of H. H. Goodman, was called by the state. She had accompanied her ill husband into the court room earlier in the morning and was strenuously challenged by the defense counsel under the rule of witness. A number of spectators were called by both the defense and state, with the jury exclude from the courtroom, in support and against the objections of the defense. Witnesses testifying under the challenge and objections included Mrs. Howard Caldwell, Mrs. Mattie Dodds, sister of the defendant; George B. Jones and K. A. Blakney, grand jury baliffs; Mrs. O. E. Scarborough, Corinne Richardson, W. A. McCants, J. P. Miller, Mr. Miller and others. Judge Howell over-ruled the defense objections and challenge.

Tells of Pistol.
Juanita Stewart, 318 East Tenth avenue, was called to the stand by the state and testified she gave a gun (pistol) to Hattie Goodman, two or three weeks before the shooting. She said the pistol belonged to her brother (Jim Stewart.)

Mrs. Stella Goodman said she had known H. H. Goodman about four years, and had known Hattie Goodman quite a while. She said Mr. and Mrs. Goodman were married in November, 1935. Continuing her testimony, the witness said H. H. Goodman came to her home Friday before he was killed Wednesday. She said the slain man had been injured in May 1936, and could not walk without the aid of a crutch.

Mrs. Stella Goodman testified she operated the Cozy Caf� and that Hattie Goodman came to her place of business Saturday afternoon before the trouble. She said the defendant went to see H. H. Goodman and declared: �If she couldn�t live with him, no one else could.�

Mrs. Stella Goodman admitted that the defendant had a knot on her head. Under re-direct examination, she said Mrs. Goodman came to her house Saturday afternoon to talk to her husband, H. H. Goodman, but he (Goodman) would not talk to her.

The state and defense attorneys agreed that if Dr. W. T. Shell, Jr., was present he would testify that one or more wounds caused Goodman�s death.

Monday Afternoon Session.
Completion of the jury was made Monday afternoon and court was recessed until 9 o'clock Tuesday morning by District Judge Wayne R. Howell.

The remainder of the jury for the week was excused until Friday morning at 9 o'clock.

Judge Howell cautioned the jurors after they were sworn in to try the case that they were not to read newspaper accounts of the trial, to allow the sheriff�s department to do any talking to relatives or associates via telephone, not to discuss the case of go about the vicinity of the Corsicana Hospital and Clinic where the shooting occurred. The jury however, was given permission, through agreement of counsel to attend a picture show if desired.

The state exercised seven pre-emptory challenges while ten challenges were used by the defense. The special venire was exhausted after eight jurors had been selected and the last four were precured from the regular jury for the week.

The jury:
C. E. Barnes, Corsicana 1; O. E. Scarborough, Corsicana; M. C. Sims, Dawson; L. Murphy; E. R. Jackson, Richland; L. L. Farmer, Purdon; Clete Owen, Kerens; W. H. Griffin, Purdon, J. E. Fogg, Corbet; Joe Cox, Dawson; James Davis, Dawson, and Frank Cartledge, Corsicana 5.

DEFENSE RESTS; JUDGE PREPARES CHARGE TO JURY

ARGUMENTS SCHEDULED TO START LATE TODAY IN GOODMAN MURDER TRIAL

Testimony was completed at 10:25 o'clock Wednesday morning in the trial of Hattie Goodman on a murder indictment as the result of the fatal shooting of her husband, H. H. Goodman, city employee, near the Corsicana Hospital and Clinic, August 26, 1936, last year. District Judge Wayne R. Howell immediately began the preparation of his charge. It is expected that the charge of the court will be submitted the attorneys in the case Wednesday afternoon and arguments may begin late in the afternoon.

Jack Cruse, prominent farmer and merchant of Cryer Creek, was the first witness called Wednesday morning. He said he witnessed the shooting. He declared that he did not know either the slain man or the defendant. The witness related that he had made a produce delivery at the Navarro Clinic and had driven his car south to West Sixth avenue and was driving slowly in an easterly direction when he saw the trouble. He said the time of day was about 10 o'clock in the morning.

Eye-Witness Testifies.
Cruse testified he saw a man and woman in the street and tat the man attacked the woman with a crutch. He said the trouble started on the north side of the street near the Jackson store. He said the man was using a stick or crutch on her and that the woman was running backward while he pursued her. The witness said that after the woman had backed six or seven steps, she drew a gun from her purse, a bright nickle-plated gun.

�I heard four or five shots,� Cruse continued, �and all of the shots were after she had been attacked.�

Cruse said he was about 30 steps from the scene of the trouble in a Model T. car.

�He kept after her until he fell,� Cruse related when questioned as to the further actions of the parties after the trouble started.

Under cross-examination Cruse said he hadn�t been subpoenaed in the case, but admitted that Norris Lovett came to see him about testifying in the case Tuesday night. He admitted he had not talked to any officer about the shooting or appeared before the grand jury. He said he knew neither party and did not want to be mixed up in the affair as he was a busy man. He said he was talking at his store about the shooting in the presence of Will Dodds, brother-in-law of the defendant, not knowing he was related or connected with the parties.

Cruse further said that Goodman was not dead when he (Cruse) arrived at his body and also was still alive when he left the scene of the shooting.

Hit Woman With Crutch.
The witness testified that the first thing that attracted his attention was �he was whaling her with the crutch,� and also was positive there had not been a shot fired before the attack on the woman.

Under re-direct examination, Cruse stated he had not been paid or promised any pay for testifying, knew neither party and did not want to be mixed up in the case��I wouldn�t have said anything if I had known Dodds was related,� he concluded.

Jesse Harte, a witness used Tuesday, was recalled and testified the defendant told him she came directly to his home after the shooting, that her husband had beaten her up with his crutch before the shooting, that he (Harte) was the first person she had talked to after the trouble, and that she shot in self-defense.

Under cross-examination Harte said the defendant did not tell him what she did with the gun or where her car was parked.

The defense rested and the state announced no further testimony was to be introduced.

The prosecution is handled by Cleo G. Miller and J. C. Jacobs, criminal district attorney and assistant, respectively. The defendant is represented by Lovett & Lovett.

Tuesday Afternoon Session.
A number of witnesses testified for both the state and defense Tuesday afternoon despite numerous recesses necessitated due to the absence of witnesses called. A considerable larger crowd was on hand Tuesday afternoon, augmented by the civics class of Trinidad high school.

The state rested when court resumed Tuesday afternoon.

The first witness called by the defense was Jess Harte, 1421 West Tenth Avenue. He testified that he had known the defendant for 15 or 20 years and that she came to his home the morning after the fatal shooting of her husband. He termed her as hysterical, nervous and that she had been beaten. He fixed the time at between 10 and 10:30 o'clock in the morning. He said that there was marks and bruises on Mrs. Goodman�s back and shoulders, her eyes had been blacked and a wound was noticeable on her forehead. Harte said he called the doctor, and put the defendant in bed where she remained until Deputy Sheriff Allen Calloway and others came for her. Under cross-examination, Harte said that Mrs. Goodman formerly rented a house from him.

Eye-Witness on Stand.
Otto F. Wood, 1014 South Eighteenth street, testified he had walked out of the post office and as he walked near the alley immediately west of the post office, saw the motion of a stick. He said Goodman was going toward the defendant at the time. He also admitted he heard a gun shot and that he walked across Sixth Avenue and met the defendant on the sidewalk, but did not notice any injuries. He said he went to where Goodman�s body was located. He said a piece of brass was on the end of the crutch of the slain man.

Under cross-examination, Wood testified he heard three shots after seeing the stick waving. He said Goodman did not say anything to him (Wood.) He also said he did not see any gun when he met Mrs. Goodman and didn�t see her shoot her husband.

Dr. Will Miller was the next witness and stated he had been called to the residence of Jess Harte and when he arrived, was told Mrs. Goodman had been sent to the county jail and he called on her there.

Dr. Miller said one eye was blackened, the forehead was hurt and a number of bruises were noted on her shoulders and back. He said the wound on the forehead was a recent one and that any head injury or wound is serious and dangerous. He said he saw her every day for a week.

Former Judge on Stand.
J. S. Callicutt, attorney, former district judge, testified he had known Mrs. Goodman since her girlhood, and related that he had a conversation with her in his office while district judge Saturday afternoon before the shooting that following Wednesday morning. He said she told him (Callicutt) of the trouble with her husband and wanted to place her husband under a peace bond after talking with the criminal district attorney, the late John R. Curington, Judge Callicutt and Mrs. Goodman also talked about her husband allegedly stealing $50.00 from her purse. He said Mrs. Goodman had a wound above the left eye and discolorations on the left side of the neck, and that Mrs. Goodman told him (Callicutt) that they had been inflicted two or three days before her husband with a crutch. Judge Callicutt said he did not see the defendant after the shooting.

The defense rested at 3:30 p.m.

State Rebuttal Testimony.
Mrs. Stella Goodman, daughter-in-law of the slain man, was the rebuttal testimony offered by the state. She testified Mr. Goodman left his wife, the defendant, on Wednesday, a week before his death, and went to Kerens for two days, then returned to the home of his son. Mrs. Goodman said she was present at the �row� Saturday afternoon prior to the trouble when Hattie Goodman came to her (Mrs. Stella Goodman�s) home. She said that the defendant wanted to talk to her husband who refused, and then related their walking from room to room and finally into the back yard. She said as Goodman started to return into the house, the defendant tore off his shirt and then he knocked her down with his crutch. The defendant then left the residence, came to town and had her husband arrested. The defendant came back later seeking money and Mrs. Stella Goodman said there was a knot on her head at that time Saturday afternoon.

The witness further testified she saw the defendant in the county jail when she talked with her relative to funeral arrangements, but she did not see any cuts or wounds at that time.

Under cross-examination, Mrs. Stella Goodman said the slain man had asked her to have Hattie Goodman leave as he did not want any trouble there. She said Goodman struck his wife only one time, and under further questioning , admitted she wanted �Hattie struck� and declared, �Who wouldn�t?�

Eye-Witness Version.
T. C. Prater, resident of the Frost community, was called by the state and declared he was an eye-witness to the shooting. He was unable to identify the defendant with the statement that he did not see the face of the woman in the trouble. He testified the couple came down the steps of the clinic and that they stopped and apparently talked to each other on several occasions. He said a gun fired when the couple were about in the middle of the street and then the man wheeled with a crutch in his hand. The witness said he never saw a gun, that the deceased hit at the woman three times and that he heard four shots.

Mr. Prater said he was sitting in a car parked on the east side of the clinic and that the woman was backing away from the man as he attempted to strike her with the crutch. He said the man swung the crutch over the woman�s head each time and did not hit her. Continuing his remarks, Mr. Prater testified Goodman fell near his (Prater�s) car, Prater said Goodman wore a white shirt and dark trousers.

Officer Witness.
J. M. Westbrook, deputy sheriff, said he saw Mrs. Goodman the Saturday before the shooting and that bruises were noticeable on her shoulders and a knot was on her head. He said her appearance Wednesday �was about the same.� He said Mrs. Goodman was beaten up pretty badly and a knot over one eye and another on her forehead. He said all the wounds he noticed were discolored.

Deputy Sheriff Westbrook testified that the crutch of Goodman had a piece of iron ten or twelve inches long on the bottom part of it. He said he saw no fresh cuts on her Wednesday afternoon when he talked to her in the county jail after the shooting.

Mrs. Stella Goodman was recalled and testified Goodman wore new tan trousers and shirt the day he was slain.

Mrs. Jess Harte testified Mrs. Goodman was suffering several fresh wounds and abrasions when she came to her home shortly after the trouble. She said she saw her the previous day and the bruises were not there.

Rachael/Roxanne "Roxie" (Hinson) Young
Mar 20, 1870 - Aug 31, 1915

In Memoriam.

Roxie Young was born in the year 1870, came to Rusk county in 1875 and lived the remainder of her life in Navarro county until her death.

Roxie young departed this life on August 31st 1915. The las few months of her life her suffering was great. She bore her fate with much courage. She was heard to say many times, �Oh Lord, if it be Thy will, relieve me of my suffering, for I am ready to go.� It seemed that all she dreaded was leaving her family to battle with this sinful, unfriendly world.

She joined the Baptist church at Red Land church in 1890, and was a faithful member. She kept her Bible at her bed-side during all her sickness and through all the struggles and trials of life she found the Christ she served a precious guide and of age and disease tore down her tabernacle of clay the building with hands became more real to her.

Now dear friends, Sister Young is not dead, she is only dead to this simple world. Her good deeds and training of her family are left behind. She taught her family in the fear of an admonition of our Lord.

She leaves a husband and seven children, three boys and four girls to sadly mourn her departure. Three children having already gone into the Great Beyond. The only consoling thought we have is the assurance that she has gone to a brighter world than this, there watching and waiting for you and I, and all Christian people where there will be no more sad partings and where the blighting dew of death never falls and adieus and farewells are sounds unknown. Now may this sorrow bring us all to our God, is our prayer.

N. H. GREEN.
