Jurors Indict Dr. Rahm In Brownsboro Shooting
Athens, Texas (Sp.) - The Henderson County Grand Jury Wednesday indicted Dr. C. C. Rahm, Brownsboro osteopath, for the murder in the shooting death of Thurman Jackson, 42, in a school board melee in the Brownsboro High School study hall June 16.
Dr. Rahm, who was secretary of the board, also was indicted for assault with intent to murder. Bond was set in the murder indictment at $12,500, the same as that set by Dist. Judge Melvin Johnston in an earlier habeas corpus hearing.
Bond in the assault bill also remained the same - $2,500.
George Rash and Gus Crow, charged with assault with intent to murder in the same indictment, were indicted instead with aggravated assault after the grand jury heard the testimony.
Dr. Rahm, who posted bail bonds after the habeas corpus hearing last week, was in Athens for the grand jury session with his attorney, Charles Tessmer of Dallas.
Several Texas Rangers were on hand, Ranger Ben Kruger, asked if the Rangers were guarding the courthouse, replied, "We're just hanging around."
The school board fight brought to a head some 23 years of dissension over the school's policies.
No trial date has been set in the cases.
