Cullen Davis, heir to a billion-dollar business em pire, said he could find enough money in 48 hours to finance a series of murders of his enemies, FBI tapes showed Thursday in his trial for solic iting the slaying of his divorce judge. The taped conversations — laced liberally with expletives — were played twice for the jury, then fol lowed by a video tape showing the Aug. 20 rendezvous of Davis and in formant David McCrory, the state’s star witness against one of its weal thiest residents. Passage after passage in the audio tape — made secretly by an FBI in formant in a Fort Worth parking lot — exposed Davis, 45, plotting the killings of persons who testified against him last year in Amarillo in his trial for the shooting death of his 12-year-old stepdaughter. Friday marks the first anniversary of his acquittal. But prosecutors this week boasted “it would take a mira cle” to prevent a Houston convic tion. Time after time, and in and out of the jury’s presence, the tapes were rerun Thursday as Davis sat ex pressionless amid his million-dollar defense team. McCrory occasionally smiled from the witness stand during portions of the tapes and often glanced toward Davis as the men heard and saw their dramatic summer encounter. McCrory testified Davis had spent the preceding few minutes snooping outside the FBI van concealing the film crew across the parking lot parently satisfied that hissuspi were unfounded, Daviscontinm the fateful meeting, McCrory testified he sk Davis a staged photograpk pieces of identification indiflatiii kansas industrialist’s divorce judgi dead.

By KEVIN HIGGINBOTHAM A Texas A&M student was ar rested for criminal mischief and later released by University Police after tearing up a sign in the Memorial Student Center cafeteria Thursday morning. In what he called “a bit of social comment,” Wesley M. Norman said he tore up the sign saying “Thank- you for dining with us to express his dissatisfaction with the quality of service provided by the MSC cafeteria. Norman, a graduate student in the chemistry department, said he did try to make an oral complaint but "it was on mute ears. “It just bothers me as a payer of state fees, said Norman, “they’re not interested in pleasing the stu dents at the cafeteria. “I had no idea it would lx* blown to such proportions,” Norman said of the arrest. Norman had to stand in line for 10 minutes for hash browns, which made him angry, according to Ken Nicolas, an investigator for the Uni versity police. Nicolas said,- “No criminal charges will be brought against Norman as a result of the incident. ” Nicolas said this case will now lx* handled administratively by the de partment of student affairs. “Nothing will come of it except maybe a conduct advisory,” said Nicolas. Clinton Borchardt, dining center manager, refused to make any com ment on the incident, except that he would “just as soon let it die down. Davis: I will try togetitthisti I can get it in two days.
