earners who deliberately file false
exemption certificates with their
employers to reduce the amount
of taxes withheld from the'r
wages or who claim dependents
on their income tax returns.

Alvin Ondrasek
Admits Arson
In Two Cases
Alvin Oadraaek, 45 year old
Burleson County farmer, con-
fcsned early this week to plan-
ning and netting two fires in
the New Tutor community, a
few miles from his own reai-
dence. after Sheriff Lewis Wil-
lard's bloodhounds had tracked
the accused from the scene of
the fires to a. heavy thicket,
near his own home. Ondraaek
is lodged in the Washington
County jail under $¡>.000 bond,
which he thus far has been
unable to make. Estimated lose
from the two most recent fires
of a long series of unsolved
fires, is SIT,000. it was said.
I luring the past two or three
y. ar.s mure than a dozen fires
have been set in the Eastern
part of the county and until last
week none of them had been
.solved, although Sheriff Willard
stated that thi finger of suspicion
had pointed toward Ondrasek for
many months However, the ar-
rested farmer would not admit
to . ay of the old fires and would
a aiim.: setting two houses
anil two oj-ns on Ijonnie Hearne's
farm in the N. sv Tabor area last
Wednesday night.
New Tabor Hall («oes
The two fires in question and
admittedly set by Ondrasek are
New Tabor Hall, valued at ap-
proximately $16,000 and an old
house used as a hay barn on
Henry (¡old's farm. The Gold
fire was set in about as many
minutes as a man could hurriedly
walk or run there from the scene
of the New Tabor fire, a distance
of about two miles.
When the fire alarm sounded
in Caldwell about 11 o'clock
Thursday night, Sheriff Willard
answered the cal! by calling De-
puty Sheriff Wayne Storm to get
his horse and head for New
Tabor Willard got his trained
bloodhounds and started for the
fin. They meant to try to catch
the "guy who had heen setting
all these fires that very night, if
th#y could." Shortly after reach-
ing thr New Tabor fire, which
by that time was a terrific blaze
and a total loss, they put the
hounds on the trail and about that
time another fire broke out on the
(¡old farm. They immediately
went to the scene of the second
fire and put the dogs on the
fresh scent They were off in a
hurry after the arsonist.
Catch Him Near Home
Yelping and jumping fences
and breaking through heavy thic-
kets the dugs left behind Willard
and several of his friends, who
were aiding in th.' search. Soon
after that thi hounds came upon
then man. Ondrasek pulled a .'IK
calibre pistol and shot at the
dogs, hitting one in the flesh
of his leg Ondrasek fired four
times and the dogs moved out
They had not been trained und
gun fire Ondrasek made it for
home, nearby. He lives three
miles east of Caldwell on a farm
The dogs had scattered and Wil
lard and other officers thought
they had been killed.
Officers re-grouped their for
ces and went to the Ondrasek
honn about 2:.'i0 in the morning
Ondrasek came out fully dressed,
cut on the hands, legs and far •
from hi tussec with the thicket.
Boots were found that fitted
prints a? the scene of the fires.
The suspect was arrested and
jailed in the local city calaboose
over night and during the r.ext
day before he was taken to the
Washington County jail where he
underwent long and gruelling
questioning by County Attorney
Jimmy Gray and Sheriff Willard
and Washington County officers.
Ondrasek finally confessed to
burning New Tabor Hall, stating
that he had planned it for mare
than a year. "They had been
making too much noise at those
dances and there was too maeh
drinking and music and noise
going on and I decided to bum
it down," he said.
When thrown into eitjr Jail
Ondrasek had a small poueh of
matches on his person tmt they
were not dtse«*sr«4 «Ml! the
