Gorilla over
ills
United Press International
OMAHA, Neb.— For a
.4-month-old gorilla, Murphy prob-
oM ably feels like he’s gone through a
heat®- lifetime of medical treatment,
ovidt^ Bprhis little guy nearly died on us
Cow oy five times,” Henry Doorly
well 2oo Director Lee Simmons says.
■We named him Murphy after
Murphy’s Law, because absolutely
everything that could have gone
wrong with him did, but he toughed
it out and survived. Now, he’s fi
nally in gear.
■We did a whole lot of things that
have never been done with gorillas
before. We tried four different ex-
M l perimental diets, and he was over 6
1 weeks old before we finally got him
back to birth weight.”
Pumps kept Murphy’s blood flow
ing and gave him basic nutrients,
l but his stomach and intestinal trou-
J\ ble prevented him from eating.
f From a birth weight of 4 pounds,
11 ounces, he dropped to 3 pounds,
9 ounces from loss of water.

HOUSTON — Making its deci
sion by law and not by conscience, a
jury Thursday sentenced Ignacio
Cuevas to die by injection for caus
ing the 1974 death of a Huntsville
prison librarian during an escape at
tempt led by Fred Gomez Carrasco.
Cuevas, 47, showed no emotion
as, for the second time, he was sen
tenced to death for the Aug. 3,
1974, killing of Julia Standley.
Cuevas’ first trial and death sen
tence in 1975 were overturned by a
Texas appeals court because of an
error in jury selection. The latest
capital murder conviction and death
sentence also will be appealed au
tomatically.
Cuevas was the only one of three
Huntsville prison inmates to survive
as the rebels, who had held hostages
in a prison library for 11 days, at
tempted escape inside a makeshift
shield fashioned from bulletin
boards and law books. They were
met by water from fire hoses and

lab ‘rat race’
United Press International
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Rosalynn,
a three-month-old filly, is the reign
ing champion of “Run for the Ro
dents,” Spalding College’s un
sanctioned version of the Kentucky
Derby for laboratory rats.
The seventh annual event, billed
as a “light-hearted parody” of next
week’s Derby, was run Wednesday
in the unthoroughbred surround
ings of the college’s library cour
tyard. Winning 25-cent bets re
turned 30 cents.
Rosalynn received an unlimited
dinner of sugarcoated cereal.
There’s a bonus for the winners.
They are now assured of escaping
the probing curiosity of biology stu
dents next fall and will spend the
winter breeding next year’s “Rat
Race” field.
finally a barrage of Texas Rangers’
bullets.
Evidence indicated a bullet from
another inmate’s gun killed Mrs.
Standley, but Texas law dictated
Cuevas could be tried for capital
murder as an accomplice.
Rangers said that, before they
fired on the shield, they heard the
muffled gunshots of the hostages
being killed.
To return a death sentence, the
jury had to find Cuevas intentionally
killed Mrs. Standley.

Murphy then contracted
pneumonia and doctors discovered a
heart murmur, a condition in which
one of the valves fails to close com
pletely as the heart pumps.
The gorilla was taken to Childrens
Memorial Hospital and pediatri
cians specializing in heart and diges
tive surgery were called in.
A fire swept through the zoo’s
nursery Jan. 13. Murphy’s sister,
Tara, was killed as well as a South
American cat and several rare birds.
“He’s rough, tough and indepen
dent, and he loves a crowd,” Sim
mons said. “He’s just like his old
man.”
Murphy, born last December, is
the son of Casey the gorilla.
“Because we’ve put in so much
time and effort and emotion,” Sim
mons said, “he’s become rather spe
cial to us.
“He’s our first little male gorilla
and he acts like it,” Simmons said.
“He’s the macho type.”
