FORT WORTH — District Judge
Gordon Gray Tuesday reprimanded
Tarrant County prosecutor Jack
Strickland for telling the media that
dismissed potential jurors probably
would have voted to convict mil
lionaire T. Cullen Davis of seeking to
arrange the murder of a judge.
Strickland reportedly told a re
porter that the 30 people dismissed
Monday — the first day of jury selec
tion for the murder solicitation ret
rial— could have convicted Davis.
“But Mr. Strickland, you’re going
to have to quit talking with the
press,” Gray said when juror consid
eration resumed. “Be careful what
you say. If this happens one more
time I’ll enter a written order.
Strickland said he was not mis
quoted but his statements were
taken out of context.
During Tuesday’s questioning, 25
potential jurors were asked if they
reedslisco4 had “ ^ ^vis’guilt or in
nocence. Only 15 said they did not
and they were added to the 50
selected Monday. Attorneys later
were to begin questioning the 65 to
shape a 12-member.
Davis’ first murder solicitation
trial ended in January with a mistrial
after a Houston jury was unable to
render a verdict.
Local prosecutors have made it
dear they believe community feel
ing is overwhelmingly in Davis’ fa
vor, and an objective jury cannot be
found. The defense, however, wants
the trial to remain in Tarrant
County.
The prosecution case again rests
heavily on the testimony of FBI in
formant David McCrory, a former
employee and acquaintance of
y « Davis. McCrory said Davis paid him
I fiPf I to hire a gunman to kill Judge Joe
U VV ■ Eidson, who at the time was the
presiding judge in Davis’ divorce
from Priscilla Davis.
* McCrory, 41, also said Davis, 45,
wanted to arrange for the murders of
a total of 15 other persons, including
jpPtlWscilla
aver!
The FBI and Fort Worth police
video taped and recorded meetings
between Davis and McCrory during
which the two allegedly discussed
the arrangements. One meeting in
volved McCrory giving Davis a faked
photograph showing Eidson lying
“dead” in the trunk of a car.
In November 1977, Davis was ac
quitted in the longest and most
costly trial in Texas history of murder
in the death of his step-daughter
Andrea Wilborn, 12, who was killed
during Aug. 2, 1976 shootings at
Davis’ Fort Worth mansion.
The shootings followed an Eidson
decision in the Davis’ lengthy di
vorce trial, which finally ended this
year, and prosecutors contended
Davis opened fire because he was
upset about the judge’s decision.
Stan Farr, Davis’ former wife’s
lover, also was killed and Mrs. Davis
and a family friend were injured.

United Press International
AUSTIN — Speaker Bill Clayton
Tuesday appointed former Univer
sity of Texas System regent Frank
Erwin Jr., Houston insurance
executive John Lindsey and Bay
lor University law student Fred
McClure to a committee created to
study the financing of higher educa
tion in Texas.
The select committee was created
by the 1979 Legislature, and will be
chaired by Lt. Gov. William P.
Hobby.
“The findings and recom
mendations of the committee will be
critical to the future strength of the
colleges and universities of the
state,’’ said Clayton, who will be
vice chairman of the panel.

United Press International
AUSTIN — Rep. Clay Smothers, D-Dallas, Tuesday charged polit
ical foes and unscrupulous reporters are behind the controversy over
is home for children in Malakoff.
Smothers angrily denounced reports of homosexuality and promis
cuity at the St. Paul Industrial Training School and said he will allow
three reporters to live on campus to make their own investigation of
conditions at the home.
“Some of you have no business with a reporters’ notebook in your
and,” Smothers told reporters at a Capitol news conference. “Some
of these charges are ridiculous and you keep on printing them. When
;e pure girls, sweet girls heard on television that they were offer
ing themselves for the sexual gratification of black businessmen, I had
ne almost go into hysterics. There’s something unfair about that kind
of journalism.”
Smothers acknowledged that some of the violatins of Department
of Human Resources standards cited by state investigators are valid
ut denied children at the home are poorly fed or abused and said
the standards are “ridiculous.
“We’ve got a long way to go in meeting standards,” Smothers said.
We re working overtime to do it.”
Smothers said Rep. Paul Ragsdale, D-Dallas, tried to use publicity
about the school as a reason to have Smothers kicked out of die Black
Legislative Caucus.
That guy hasn’t worked for 10 years,” Smothers said of Ragsdale.
I’m being kicked all over by a welfare recipient, a lazy bum.”
Smothers said his home is nonprofit and that he receives only a
i-a-month salary (soon to be raised to $900) and an automobile
om St. Paul.
“I’m broke today because of my babies,” Smothers said. “I spend
my nights — many times 3 and 4 o’clock in the morning — picking up
tays that wet the bed trying to teach them not to wet the bed.”
Smothers acknowledged he spanks children with a paddle, but said
punishment is a “last resort” and never exceeds four licks.

L
The OHM L is a true
value in convenience,
performance and price.
Ohm L
c,^ *140
"Stereo imaging is excellent-to the point where the
sound seems almost detached from the speakers...
Offering a big, high-quality sound in a fairly small,
moderately priced package, the Ohm L strikes us a
particularly attractive speaker system...From where
we sit, Ohm appears to have another winner."
High Fldmlty/Aprll, 1971
"...the Ohm L proved to be a highly accurate repro
ducer of music...the upper midrange and high fre
quencies were virtually perfect...
(the Ohm L) is easily good enough to meet the sort
of critical standards usually applied to much larger and
comsiderably more expensive speaker systems."

CM 1010
There's only one word for the new Koss CM 1010 loud
speaker system. Fantastic! Because no other 2 band
pass speaker system available can match its extended
band-width response, its high efficiency and its un
believably low distortion performance. And that's
true at any size and at any price range.
