A Religious Man
King, 35, was a religious man.
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.

Broiler Raising Now
Mass Produced Crop
College Station, Tex.-U.R)
Broiler raising has become a
mass production business in
eastern and southern Texas,
with value of last year's output
valued at more than $60,000,
000. 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. Most Texas pro
ducers sell at about nine weeks
in meat animals. He also is ac
tive in forestry, tractor main
tenance and electricity.
