stice Donald B. Yarbrough volun-
appeared for questioning yes-
y before a Travis County grand
investigating forgery allega-
against him.
T think they’re ridiculous,” Yar
brough told reporters who asked
him for comment on the allegations.
Yarbrough, 35, arrived at the
courthouse at 2:24 p. m. He was not
accompanied by his attorney. Pros

the grand jury had invited Yar
brough to appear at 2:30 p.m.
He had to knock on a locked door
and stand for a minute before being
admitted.
Prosecutors sneaked key witness
John Wiliam Rothkopf, 58, against
Yarbrough past reporters and into
the Travis County grand jury room
to secure secrecy of the testimony.
Accompanied by armed inves
tigators from the district attorney’s
office, the former Yarbrough busi
ness associate arrived nearly two
hours before the grand jury session
and entered by' a side door.
Rothkopf, according to a
copyrighted article in the Houston
Post, has told authorities Yarbrough
forged title papers on a 1974 au
tomobile in an Austin motel room
May 16.
Rothkopf also, according to the
newspaper, contends Yarbrough
Approached him about finding a hit
man to murder a key witness before
the Harris County grand jury con
sidering forgery' allegations against
Yarbrough.
Travis County District Attorney*
Ronnie Earle told reporters, “I
promised Carol Vance that there’d
be no pictures taken of Mr.
Rothkopf. It is my understanding he
is under protection of the Harris
County district attorney’s office.
Although Rothkopf was shielded
from reporters, a sheriffs deputy
was admitted to the locked grand
jury office to serve Rothkopf with a
subpoena to appear for questioning
July 12 in connection with disbar
ment proceedings against Yar
brough.

United Press International
The maker of the “Anti-
lonopoly” board game has been
dered by a judge to stop using the
lame because it is too close to the
riginal “Monopoly.
US. District Court Judge
pencer Williams has ruled that the
bdemark held hy the Parker
brothers division of the General
dills Fun Group, Inc., covers
Anti-Monopoly” and any other
»nfusingly similar words in connec-
ion with the sale of board games.
Ralph Anspach, a San Francisco
State University economics profes-
ior, began marketing ‘‘Anti-
Monopoly in 1973 and sold about
119,000 sets.
Anspach charged that Parker
Brothers obtained the trademark by
bud. He claimed Charles Darrow,
from whom the company originally
purchased the rights, had copied
the ame from someone else.

Lt. Kenneth Van Hoy said the 35
troopers were needed for other
duties, particularly during the July

convicted rapist who has eluded
lawmen for four years since break

Hart, described as an expert

The search has spanned the den
