• The State Supreme Court today ordered the trial in Conway Chancery Court of a taxpayers' petition demanding that Sheriff Marlin Hawkins account for "substantial sums of money" collected as traffic fines from 1955 until 1961. Fifteen taxpayers of Conway County charged that Hawkins, sheriff of Conway County and a political leader, "wrongfully appropriated, and exacted and converted to his own use substantial sums of money collected and received as fines and costs, which sums should have been paid over into the county treasury of Conway County as required by the laws of the State of Arkansas."
