He set aside a tithe of his corn land each year for his church. He was poor but worked hard for his family, the neighbors said. But King had one glaring fault. He had a bad temper and fought with his wife frequently, the neighbors said. It was a beating he gave his pretty wife Christine that appar ently touched off the chain of events leading to his ax, rifle butt and shotgun slaying of the children, Alice Gray 12; Joseph (Sonny Boy), 10; Melvin, 8; Jerry, 4: Ruth, 3, and Susan, 2. ' Drove Wife From House ! King, who was born and reared within a mile of the death j scene, drove his wife from the ; house Monday night. She went i to the home of one of her three I brothers and four sisters, Robert I Tyndall, in Clinton. I Tyndall swore out a warrant i against King, charging him with assault. He said Mrs. King had i threatened him with divorce be fore she left the house. I King drove to town in his 1939 model car about 6 a.m. Tuesday and learned of the war rant. Apparently in a fit of rage and jealousy, he sped home again. He rushed into the house where his oldest daughter was preparing breakfast for the chil dren. The coroner placed the time of all their deaths at about 6:30 a.m. v' ; t 3v '.

The extension service of Tex as A. & M. College says that, nationally, farmers produced more than one billion broilers in 1955, compared with only 143,000,000 in 1940. The value was more than 10 times the $72,000,000 grossed ' by 1940 broiler producers. Texas farmers alone pro duced 79,000,000 birds last year valued at $60,411,000. It used to , be that chickens for eating were produced for the most part in fairly small farm flocks, mainly as a by product from egg production. But in the past 15 years, broil ers have become a mass produc tion business. It takes about nine to 11 weeks to raise a flock of broil ers to market size, and financial risks are. greater than in most ' farm business.
