Circuit C*l)avis, 44, has been charged with •deans last!: shootings and is on trial specifi- >n prevei y for the slaying of his 12-year- stepdaughter, Andrea Wilborn. )avis’ attorney, Richard cehorse” Havnes, has used the iff by U mtil word fromi will contiM ig a beam ^ will he ask Aug. 10 document to discredit Mrs. Davis — the state’s key witness — before the three-woman, nine-man jury, by pointing out small conflicts with her trial testimony. “The state’s position is that the witness has been impeached on prior inconsistent statements,” said Marvin Collins, an assistant Tarrant County district attorney. After a lengthy review of the law that occupied much of the morning session, District Judge George Dowlen permitted as evidence a sworn affidavit made by her on Aug. 12, 1976. The prosecution said the latter interview coincides with testimony Mrs. Davis has made in the trial. Assistant District Attorney Joe Shannon Jr., asked by reporters to explain the two versions given to in vestigators, said they made the sec ond interview after concluding sev eral points needed clarifying. “You can’t even tell a joke the same way twice, ” he said. The inconsistencies centered on three points in Mrs. Davis’ tes timony, including whether she noticed the elaborate security sys tem at the mansion was off before or after she entered the mansion the night of the shootings, whether she saw the gunman return inside the house and whether he was holding or wearing a long black wig. Phil Burleson, another of Davis’ attorney, said during a recess that the defense opposed introduction of the statement because it failed to solve any significant disputes in her testimony. “We felt that her testimony had been sufficiently impeached, said Burleson. “It just forces us to get into more area. We re glad the state realizes that there are discrepancies in her testimony. OPEN 10 7 M0N.SAT 0 v campus activities 315 UNIVERSITY DR.

It affects, in the first place, the tions between the United States 1 all Latin America. They look on this, whether we like it or not, the last vestige of colonialism which has provoked so much dis sension and hostility in the past — and they are standing firmly with Panama in this need for a new treaty. “By the same token, the whole Third World places the Panama Canal issue high on its agenda. So what we do in this matter is going to have profound repercussions throughout the hemisphere and in other parts of the world. ” Linowitz, who along with Ellsworth Bunker negotiated the treaty, was interviewed on the NBC “Today” program. The Senate must approve the treaty to make it binding and Carter has promised a strong grass-roots campaign on behalf of the proposal, which would retain U.S. protection rights over the waterway.
