hospitals as a result of three automobile accidents in Navarro
county Saturday night and Sunday morning.

year.

All patients in the hospitals had satisfactory night it was stated
Monday morning.
No Charges Filed
City, county and highway patrol investigated the accidents and one
or two more crashes in which no one was hurt. No charges had been
filed Monday morning, County Attorney Riley Eugene Fletcher said.
The accident in which the Alexanders and Kirk were involved occurred
on Highway 31 (West Seventh avenue) in the western section of
Corsicana shortly after 7 p.m. Saturday between the Skateland Inn
and Navarro Junior College.
Esther McNeill, 19, of 803 South Sixteenth street, who was a
passenger in a car driven by James Brader, 19, Livingston, Navarro
Junior College, said they were en route to town when they were
side-swiped by the Kirk car, damaging the rear and front fenders
"After he hit us," said Miss McNeill, "He continued on, struck
another car, forcing it off the highway and then finally plunged
into the Alexander car, which was going West."
The cars figuring in the two fatal accidents were inspected by
hundreds of interested spectators on Highway 75 wrecker
establishments Sunday afternoon as news of the mishaps became
generally known.
Officers Investigate
City officers Onstott and Hightower investigated the Highway 31
crash. They reported that Kirk was driving a 1949 Mercury sedan
traveling in an easterly direction in the 3500 block.
The 1948 Plymouth occupied by the Alexander family turned upside
down on the south side of the pavement after the crash, the police
reported, while the Kirk vehicle was turned around west but remained
on the pavement.
Alexander was brought to the Corsicana Hospital and Clinic in a
Griffin ambulance. An X-Ray examination was made Sunday.
Dead On Arrival
Mrs. Alexander was pronounced dead on arrival at Memorial in a
Corley ambulance and the three Alexander children and Kirk also were
taken to Memorial by Corley, X-Ray examinations were made of the
four Saturday night.
Will Sands of Chatfield is reported to have driven his jeep on to a
farm-market road near his home and his vehicle was struck by a car
driven by Bill Boldin, Brown's Valley. He was thrown from the jeep
into a road ditch, and later was brought to the Navarro Clinic by
private conveyance. Deputy Sheriff Pete McCain investigated this
accident Saturday night. X-Ray examination was made of Sands at the
Clinic Sunday.
Negro Killed
Oscar Brown, 52, Chatfield negro, farm hand, was pronounced dead on
arrival at Memorial Hospital after 4 a.m. Sunday in a Corley
ambulance. The body later was transferred to the Calhoun Funeral
Home for burial arrangements.
Highway patrol said they were continuing investigations into the
accident near Chatfield in which Brown was fatally injured. They
questioned Jesse Williams, negro, who was also brought to Memorial
Hospital. Williams owns the car and several others supposed to have
been in the car at the time of the accident were not present when
officers arrived.
Williams was quoted by highway patrolmen as saying he (Williams) had
been assaulted and robbed about 10 p.m. of $85 at the intersection
of Seventh and Seventh Highways 75, 31, and 287, and the next he
knew, he was being pulled from his wrecked automobile after 4 a.m.
Officers said that Williams was at a house in East Corsicana where
several witnesses say he remained some time. He may be taken to
Austin for a "lie dectector" examination by the Department of Public
Safety, it was stated.
Mrs. Alexander was a native of Chandler, Texas, and had resided in
Corsicana 18 years.

They said the judge suggested filing of the charges. A hearing probably will be held in the near future.
Justice of the Peace J. W. Sheppard and Sheriff Pevehouse, following an investigation of the unusual case, said it happened this way:
The Shaunfield woman, 22 had been despondent and had threatened to kill herself. She went to the home of her stepfather in Mildred and
got his pistol.
Matlock missing the weapon, accused his wife of taking it. An argument resulted.
Protects Mother
Mrs. Matlock and her son, Charles, 13, told officers the man attacked his wife. The boy, trying to protect his mother, grabbed a
.22 rifle and fired. Two bullets struck Matlock, one in the heart.
Some five hours later, the 22-year-old daughter was found dead in the bathroom of a rooming house here (206 South Twelfth street,
where she had resided. Judge Sheppard returned a suicide verdict in her death.
Matlock was pronounced dead on arrival at Memorial Hospital about 12:45 a.m. Sunday. Judge Sheppard returned a coroner's verdict of
homicide in the case.
Deputies Pete McCain and Howe French joined the sheriff in his investigation.
The officers quoted Mrs. Matlock and the boy as saying the slain man attacked his wife, throwing her against the house and a truck after
being unable to find his missing gun.
Good Friends
Mrs. Matlock said her husband and young Charles were good friends and had gone fishing Saturday afternoon. Her version of the shooting
according to investigating officers, was that her son sought to protect her; and after shooting the rifle in the air in an effort to
frighten his stepfather, the youth was pursued by Matlock. Then the youth fired
"three or four" times, Sheriff Pevehouse quoted him as
saying. One of the bullets struck Matlock in the left breast, entering the heart. Another went through his right arm.
Reside Near Mildred
The family resides on the W. B. Humphries farm near old Mildred. After the shooting, the youth went to a neighbor's house while the
mother came to Corsicana in a Corley ambulance which was summoned.
When county officers went to the scene, they found that the boy had returned home and had gone to bed in the houst alone. He was not
arrested.
Deputy McCain and City Officer Steele answered the call at the bathroom shooting incident.
Force Door
Miss Shaunfield's body was in the bathroom, where she had gone about 6 a.m. Occupants of the house forced open the locked door after
hearing the shot.
Sheriff Pevehouse quoted relatives as saying Miss Shaunfield had threatened to shoot herself.
The 38-40 revolver, which brought about the double-tragedy, was found in the bathroom. Miss Shaunfield fired one bullet into her
neck, and it went through her head.
Judge Sheppard returned a coroner's verdict of "death from
gunshot wounds, self-inflicted."
Miss Shaunfield recently had attended school and worked in Austin,
officers said. She was unemployed at the time of her death.
Relatives reported she had been despondent for the last several
days.
Deputy McCain reported finding a lengthy letter she had written,
telling numerous persons "goodbye," and in which she referred
suicide.
Rites Held Monday
Funeral services for Thelma Shaunfield were held at 2 p.m. Monday
from the Corley chapel here.

April 10 Hearing Set For Boy Who Shot Stepfather
A 13-year-old boy who shot and killed his stepfather at Mildred
early Sunday will be tried on juvenile delinquency charges here
April 10.
District Judge A. P. Mayes, sitting as the Juvenile Court, will hear
the strange "double death" case as it affects the youth.
Suggested By Judge
County authorities said Judge Mays had suggested having the hearing.
The slain man was Guy Bennett Matlock, 53-year-old carpenter. A
pistol the boy's sister, Thelma Cleo Shaunfield, used to end her
life the same day in Corsicana caused an argument which resulted in
the stepfather's death.
Miss Shaunfield had taken her stepfather's pistol. Matlock accused
his wife and attacked her. During the attack, the 13-year-old
step-son, Charles Shaunfield, sought to protect his mother, and
after being pursued by Matlock, the youth fired a .22 rifle-killing
his step-father.
Not Under Arrest
These were the facts brought out by questioning Mrs. Matlock and the
boy, Sheriff Rufus Pevehouse reported.
Miss Shaunfield killed herself in the bathroom of a Corsicana
rooming house where she lived. She had told relatives of suicide
plans. Coroner J. W. Sheppard ruled her death a suicide.
Time for the juvenile delinquency hearing was set for 10 a.m. April
10. Meanwhile the boy is at liberty. He was never arrested.
Notes:
-----
Charges Against Youth Dismissed At Court Hearing
A 13-year-old boy who shot and killed his stepfather at Mildred last
March 21 was freed of juvenile delinquency charges after a hearing
before District Judge A. P. Mays Saturday.
Judge Mays declared the homicide to be justifiable, under the
evidence presented at the two-hour trial.
The slain man was Guy Bennett Matlock, 53-year-old carpenter. A
pistol the accused boy's sister, Thelma Cleo Shaunfield, used to end
her life the same day in Corsicana caused an altercation which
resulted in the stepfather's death.
Double Tragedy
Details of the double-death tragedy, were unfolded Saturday by both
the son, Charles, and his mother, Mrs. Guy Matlock.
Their testimony showed that Matlock had become violently mad when he
missed his pistol, which Miss Shaunfield had taken earlier. He began
cursing Mrs. Matlock, forced her out of the house and into their
pick-up truck. Then after she began screaming, young Charles�clad in
his shorts�dashed out of the house with his .22 rifle and fired it
in the air twice.
Matlock then started running after him, Charles testified, and the
youth turned and fired twice. The bullets killed Matlock, who was
pronounced dead on arrival at Memorial Hospital.
Mother Testifies
Mrs. Matlock, frequently sobbing, related details of the
shooting - and her daughter's subsequent suicide in a rooming house
here�after lengthy questioning by Judge Mays. She said her husband
had "fits of temper" and that there had been trouble between them on
other occasions.
Part of the evidence in the case were pleadings in two divorce cases
between the Matlock couple. They had been dismissed for want of
prosecution. Restraining orders against Matlock were issued in each
case.
The boys natural father lives in Port Arthur. Mrs. Matlock told the
court. She said he knew of the hearing. He wasn't present in court.
Feared For Life
Young Shaunfield testified that he killed his stepfather because he
feared for his life and his mother's life.
Other witnesses at the hearing included W. B. Blackmon, a neighbor
who heard the commotion and went over to the Matlock place; and
Deputy Sheriff Pete McCain who investigated.
The court appointed Attorney Robert Jackson to represent the boy.
Assistant County Attorney Glen Stewart represented the state.
