Photographer’s body
found at Dallas hotel
United Press International
DALLAS — A newspaper
photographer was found shot to
death Thursday in his unlocked
car parked at a hotel where he
had gone on a picture assignment
the night before, police said.
Larry Provart, 29, a photo
grapher for the Dallas Morning
News since 1972, was found
about 1 p.m. with a camera
around his neck and two beside
him on the seat of his car which
was parked at an outer parking
lot at the Loews Anatole Hotel,
said police spokesman Bob
Shaw.
Authorities said Provart, who
was shot at least once in the
chest, was found holding the mi
crophone to his car radio. Shaw
said no weapon was found in the
car, and that authorities planned
to develop the film in Provart’s
camera to see if it provided any
clues to his slaying.
Provart had been missing
since Wednesday night, when he
was told to go to the hotel to take
pictures of Agriculture Secretary
Bob Bergland and civic leader
Russell Perry.
Judge jails two men
for refusal to testify
United Press International
EL PASO — A federal judge has
ordered two men jailed indefinitely
for refusing to testify before a spe
cial grand jury that has been looking
into organized crime and racketeer
ing in a six-state area.
Jack Wayne Scarborough, 38, ol
Waterford, Mich., and David
Michael Brummitt, 28, of Lenoir
City, Tenn., were held in contempt
for refusing to answer questions
about bail bonds posted in their be
half by El Paso bail bondsman
Victor Apodaca Jr. after their 1976
arrests on state marijuana posses
sion charges.
U.S. District Judge William Ses
sions ordered the two men to
nearby La Tuna Federal Correc
tional Institute where they will stay,
unless they decide to testify, for the
duration of the grand jury’s term
which runs until August 1980.
The grand jury has been looking
into Apodaca’s income tax affairs for
several months in an investigation
that includes a special Justice De
partment Task Force of Customs,
Drug Enforcement and Internal
Revenue Service agents.
The two men were arrested June
4, 1976, in Marfa near a burning air
craft filled with marijuana and 14
ounces of heroin. They were freed
on reduced $25,000 bonds.
Brumitt pleaded guilty to
marijuana possession charges in
83rd District Court in Marfa and
paid a $2,000 fine, while charges
against Scarborough were dismissed
without explanation.
