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. Later he set it
aside on sworn testimony of oth
ers that the mule did not belong
to Hagedorn, but to his son. 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.
Danny Kaye Takes Comic Role Offer Of Metropolitan
New York. Mar. 30 (U.R)
Film Star Danny Kaye said to
day that he would accent an oi-
fer to play a comic role In the
Metropolitan opera's revival of
Straus' "Die Fledermaus" next
season "if my movie commit
ments permit it."
Kaye, who sailed aboard the
Queen Elizabeth for a four
weeks' vacation in Europe, said
he would take the role of Frosch,
the jailer, in the third act of the
ODera if he had time to rehearse
with the Met company in Sep
tember.
"I can louse up the Met quick
er than anybody," Kaye said.
Discussed Role
He said he already had dis
cussed the role with Rudolf
Bing, the opera's new general
manager, and had found Bing
"a very astute character." Bing
tentatively has scheduled "Die
Fledermaus" as the Met's open
ing night production with Kaye
as an extra fillip to the tradi
tionally glamorous event.
Kaye said his trip would be
More han $600 had been re
ceived last night.
Duckworth said he had receiv
ed numerous letters from law
yers, with only one per cent up
holding the legal technicality.
One of the letters, Duckworth
said, was marked "confidential"
and came from one of the most
eminent federal judges in the
nation.
"After all, in the United States
of America which we love so
much, there are various adjudi
cations which we recognize as
law," the letter from the jurist
said. "... still the great' law
of the country is the opinion of
the people."
