FORT WORTH (AP) — He calls
himself Zapata, but, an investigator
said Tuesday, he’s something of a
cross between actor George C.
Scott and Abraham Lincoln.
“I never ran across a guy like this
in my life,” said Deputy Constable
Charlie Butts.
“He’s the flim-flam man with the
demeanor of Abraham Lincoln. ”
Zapata, you see, is aeon man. Not
necessarily a great one, but cer
tainly a busy one, even at age 50.
He’s in jail here, accused of
polygamy, fraud, robbery, burg
lary, parole violation, car theft and
an assortment of lesser mischief,
much of which he appears to have
forgotten.
Butts said Zapata’s real name just
might be Gordon Wayne Mosser,
and he may be from Milwaukee, via
New Orleans, an untold number of
Texas cities, including Lubbock and
Midland, “and God knows where.
But he’s not sure.
It is difficult to be harsh with
Zapata, Butts said. “He looks like
somebody’s grandfather. He’s as
nice a guy as you’d want to meet.
“He looks at you like a beagle,
and those eyes just devastate you.”
“He said as best he can re
member, he’s been married seven
times,” Butts said. “He doesn’t re
member, but he thinks he was di
vorced from all but two or three.
This is Zapata’s story, compiled
by Butts and sheriff s deputy R. K.
Dunlap since his arrest Saturday:
Gamesters
on the go
Zapata arrived in town in a stolen
car, opened an account at a bank
with a forged $450 check, rented
two apartments under different
names and struck up a quick ro
mance.
A proposed Valentine’s Day mar
riage with his lady friend was tor
pedoed when it was learned that
Zapata quite possibly had a wife in
Lubbock.
And one in Milwaukee.
“This came as quite a surprise to
the financee,” Butts said.
Also, Butts said, “We came across
the fact that he had been married to
a friend of the person to whom the
forged check belonged.
A Lubbock probation officer said
Zapata has been imprisoned 10
times for fraud, and authorities wait
ing to chat with him are too numer
ous and widespread to mention.
“He even conned the U. S.
Bureau of Prisons at one time into
thinking he was two men,” Butts
chuckled. He said the bureau has
two separate files on him.
Investigators believe several
diamond rings among Zapata’s be
longings were stolen from none
other than the sister of his fiancee
here.
The kicker, Butts said, is that he
took one of the pilfered rings, re
moved a large stone, mounted it in
an engagement ring and gave it to
the robbery victim’s sister.
While visiting a friend of his
fiancee’s to borrow a typewriter.
Butts said, he stole some of the
friend’s checks, then used the bor
rowed typewriter to make the
checks out to himself.
“Now that’s gall,’ Butts laughed.
‘But I admit I’ve got grudging ad
miration for him.’
