The Fort Worth Sar-Telegram, February 28, 1942:
Mrs. Evelyn Proctor, sister of Mrs. Juanita Barr, on trial here for the April 12 murder of Mrs. Blanche Woodall, night club dancer, testified Saturday afternoon that Mrs. Woodall declared two Sundays before she was shot fatally in her apartment, that she had no intention of giving up Eddie Barr, former newspaper gossip columnist and estranged husband of the defendant.
The trial, in progress since Monday, was recessed for the weekend as Mrs. Proctor ended her testimony. Defense attorneys said they would conclude their presentation of witnesses Monday by placing Mrs. Barr on the stand.
The state's cross-examination of Mrs. Proctor in regard to her statement that Mrs. Woodall refused to give Barr up was interrupted for several minutes when the witness became faint and seemed on the verge of collapse.
Mrs. Proctor testified the declaration was made in a telephone conversation with her mother, Mrs. Amy Puckett, and that she heard it over an extension phone.
The call followed a visit made by Mrs. Juanita Barr and Mrs. Puckett to the dancer, the witness said, from which her mother and sister returned in a distraught condition.
Married Jack V. Proctor about 1929 (She was age 17 on the 1930 census, and her age at first marriage was 16).
