| 1834 | Obituary: Holdup Victim Dies Of Gunshot Wounds Wilbur L. Baird, the 67-year-old liquor store owner who was shot as he attempted to prevent a holdup at his place of business at 42nd and Kermit Highway Nov. 3, died Monday about 8:30 p.m. at Medical Center Hospital. Baird was shot in the stomach by a gunman. He was operated on hours after the incident and had remained in serious condition in the intensive care unit of the hospice since. According to hospital spokesman, Baird appeared to be making some progress towards recovery, but took a drastic turn Monday. "That type of injury is hard to tell about sometimes." a nursing supervisor said. "Mr. Baird was in pretty bad condition, but he did appear to make some progress. He was never really out of danger at any time of the past week and a half, though." Twenty-eight-year-old Leonard Lee Giddens, an ex-convict who was arrested and charged with armed robbery in connection with the incident, may now face a charge of murder. Sheriff's captain George Olesh was preparing new charges Tuesday morning, but said it would be afternoon before they could be filed. "It's now a matter of dropping one of the charges against Giddens and adding a new one." Olesh said. Giddens was also charged with assault with intent to murder, as well as armed robbery. He is being held in lieu of $40,000 bond on the two charges, which were filed with Justice of the Peace Howard Williams. The armed robbery charge was filed following Giddens arrest by city detectives hours after the incident, and the assault with intent to murder charge was filed a couple of days later. The charge of assault with intent to murder will be dropped, according to Olesh. Giddens is presently in custody at Ector County jail. Funeral services for Baird will be at 3 p.m. Wednesday in Hubbard-Kelly Funeral Home, with burial in Sunset Memorial Gardens. Baird was born June 24, 1906, at Moran. He married Pauline M. Page on Sept. 6, 1942, in Odessa. He came here from Wink in 1936. Baird retired earlier this year, after 36 years as a pumper with Humble Oil Co. He served aboard a naval submarine for 3 1/2 years during World War II. He was a member of the Elks, VFW and the Odessa Chuck Wagon Gang. Survivors include his wife, of the home; two daughters, Mrs. Carole Coleman of Lubbock and Mrs. Betsy Draper of Burleson; his mother, Mrs. C.W. Baird of Cisco; two brothers, Archie Baird of Cisco and L.D. Baird of Andrews; six sisters, Elva DeArmand of Corsicana, Neola Cockrell of Corpus Christi, Odee Price of Houston, Meada Horn and Jewel Thompson of Cisco, Ruth Strickbein of Odessa and six grandchildren.
