Gates held the writer hereof that he never enrolled in my law school anywhere--not even for one day -- yet he was admitted to the bar in Texas. He explained that back when he got his license to practice, all that was necessary to get admitted to the bar was for anattorney to certify to the district court that he had studied so many hours and what subjects and generally the new member was admitted. During the colorful legal career of Gates, he defended and helped to defend many people charged with capital offenses throughout the state. Not one of his clients received the death sentence. Gates was not only a defender byut he was a prosecutor as well. During the 1930's, he was retained by the state of Texas as special proscution i8n criminal cases against Joe Palmer and Baymond Hamilton, Texas bad boys at that time. Gates served as county attorney for Walker County for six years. In 1926, he came close to being elected county judge, and lost by only seven votes.

According to an Associated Press story, the massive manhunt for his murderer ended Sunday night with the capture of Bernie Parish, 62. Parish was apprehended Sunday night in rural East Texas bottom area, and was taken to the San Augustine Jail. Following is the account of the incident carried in Monday's Tyler Morning Telegraph. The Most massive manhunt in the history of San Augustine County and possibly East Texas was underway Sunday following the fatal shooting of Game Warden Ronnie Lee Germany, 26, formerly of Tyler. Germany was reportedly shot in the head an dshoulder with a 22-caliber rifle while on duty in the Attoyac River area Sunday morning. The wooded area is approximately 30 miles from San Augustine in the Far western part of the county. San Augustine Sheriff John Hoyt told the Morning Telegraph that he received a call about 10:30 a.m. from Germany's partner, William Barry Decker, asking for assistance and an ambulance. :We now have more than 200 officers in the area searching for a suspect," said Hoyt. "The Department of Public Safety helicopter from houston is patroling the area and we have officers from many agencies and areas. "I've filed murder charges, as a result of information received, in Judge C. A. Renfroe's court against Bernie Parish, 62, in connection with the shooting of Germany." Hoyt said. Sunday was the first day back on the job for Sheriff Hoyt and Deputy Richard Davis. Both were wounded in a shooting near the Attoyac River June 2 while attempting to arrest a murder suspect. Hoyt lost his left eye in the shooting and Davis lost his right eye. Search for the suyspect was centered in the heavily wooded area along the western border of the county. Germany, a native of Ben Wheeler, left his home in San Augustine with Decker shortly after 8 a.m. Sunday to work the area for general hunting violations. "They had preiously planned to work the waterways, but cchanged their plans over coffee this morning." his wife, Mrs. Belinda Germany said, "He put his vehicle in the service station to get it cleaned and serviced and rode with Bill. Ronnie wanted his car ready to drive to Palestine tomorrow for pistol match. He was an alternate on the district Parks and Wildlife Department pistol team." Germany was assigned to San Augustine little more tha a year ago after graduation from game warden school at Texas A. & M.Parks and Wildlife work had been a dream ofhis since high school days. At the time he graduated from the law enforcement school he told a Tyler sport columinst: "When the going gets rough-that's when I like it." "He loved his work," his wife said Sunday. "Ronnie was bery proud and was always working to keep his equipment in the very best of condition." Survivors include his wife, Blinda, a former reporter for the Tyler Courier-Times; his mother, Mrs. Leona Hermany of Chapel Hill; three brothers, Dale Geddie, Ludean Germny and Freddie Germany, all of Tyler. Texas Ranger Dub Clark reported that the incident occurred four miles east of Hwy 7 near the community of Grigsby.

When shooting erupted Germany was hit in the shoulder and he sent Decker for assistance while he watched the house. The suspect, believed armed with a 22 caliber rifle and a 12 gage shotgun left the house on a tractor shortly afterwoard. Hermany apparently followed and was killed.
