William Yelderman, Alexan der's attorney, said the house payments lapsed following the accident when Alexander and his wife used their funds "for doctors and hospital expenses, The Dallas Morning News last week assigned Staff Writer Al len Duckworth to write a series of dispatches on the Hagedorn case "as a warning to the public of the pitfalls of the law. Hearing Postponed Duckworth's six articles show ed that Hakedorn originally ap peared in court, but the hearing was postponed. The farmer ask ed a court clerk to inform him when to return, but he was nev er advised. District Judge J. R. Fuchs awarded the default judgment to the Alexanders when Hagedorn failed to appear.

The state supreme court upheld Huchs' original ruling on the technicality that Hagedorn ad mitted ownership by not denying it in court. Duckworth's articles did not ask for money, because his newspaper has never favored such enterprises. However, for the past three days, small con tributions to the Hagedorns have been mailed to Duckworth's desk. $600 Received "The donations range from a check for $100 down to an en velope filled with small change," Duckworth said.
