LIBERTY — Jurors who
allowed Vickie Daniel to keep her
children said they thought they
were listening to a murder trial,
not a child custody case, and
Daniel’s attorneys s&id the crimin
al charges against her should now
be dropped.
One of Daniel’s lawyers, noted
defense attorney Richard “Race
horse” Haynes, called the jury de
cision in the child custody case the
“ultimate” verdict.
Daniel,. 33, was awarded cus
tody of her two small children late
Thursday by a jury of 11 people.
The jury unanimously selected
neither woman, therefore giving
Mrs. Daniel complete control
over her sons.
Moments after the verdict was
read, most of the jurors said they
felt that for six weeks they had
heard a murder trial instead of a
child custody case.
Juror Leslie Bartlett, 35, the
musical director at the First Un
ited Methodist Church, said if the
evidence presented in the crimin
al case is the same as what he had
heard, “it could go either way.”
“But I don’t think enough evi
dence was given beyond a reason
able doubt. There were too many
unanswered questions,” Bartlett
said.
Haynes said based on the evi
dence he has seen “frankly, they
don’t have a murder case.”
He said he had “resisted fierce
ly” having the custody case before
the criminal trial, “but they ran
over top of me on that.”
“So I have to look for the silver
lining in the cloud and that silver
lining, of course, is the fact that I
have seen their case, the prosecu
tor’s case. It will give me some
advantage,” said Haynes. “They
likewise have seen significant por
tions of my case and it gave the
prosecutors some advantage.”
Daniel has not yet stood trial for
the slaying of her husband, former
Texas House Speaker Price
Daniel, Jr. but was the respon
dent in the child custody case
against her sister-in-law, Jean
Daniel Murph, in which much of
the testimony concerned the
shooting.
Another attorney for Daniel,
Harlan Friend, said: “We tried it
once and they wouldn’t convict
her.
“It (dropping the murder
charge) would save the county an
awful lot of money. We want to get
the matter out of the way and not
saddle the citizens of Liberty with
additional expenses.
Friend said he plans to meet
with Liberty County District
Attorney Carroll Wilborn and
offer results from a polygraph test
by Daniel as proof that the fatal
shooting of Price Daniel Jan. 19
was accidental and not inten
tional.
However, Wilborn said he
plans to prosecute the case in
October as planned "unless the
defense can show me some evi
dence to make me think diffe
rent.”
Daniel is spending the
weekend with all four of her chil
dren for the first time since Jan.
19. She said she was elated with
the jury’s decision to let her retain
complete custody of Franklin, 3,
and Marion Price “Bob” IV, 1. She
is planning to move to

America’s space shuttle, a scien
tist specializing in the Soviet space
mission said Sunday.
Jim Oberg, an engineer with
McDonnell-Douglas Corp.’s
space program, said that amateur
radio operators in Europe and
North America had tracked the
Cosmos 1267, which the official
Tass news agency said was laun
ched Saturday, through an orbit
bringing it close to the manned
Salyut 6 space station.

“It could be a prototype of a

than our Columbia,” Oberg said.
“We must watch the develop
ments for several more days to
know what its mission is. It may
well be their (Soviets) answer to
our space shuttle program. I must
stress that I’m only speaking for a
private research group and not for
any official agency.”

The official Soviet news agen
cy, Tass, released no information
about the launching other than to
say it was functioning normally
and was a Cosmos series satellite.
Oberg said the Cosmos launch,
which he believes is on a more
sophisticated mission than indi
cated by a routine Soviet
announcement, has been sending
signals similar to an earlier flight
and appeared to have the capabil
ity to link with Salyut 6.
Maj. Cliff Zacharias, assigned
to the North American Air De
fense Command in Colorado, said
NORAD headquarters inside
Cheyenne Mountain was tracking
Cosmos-1267 “on a routine basis. ”
“The command director told
me it’s considered a standard
Soviet scientific launch at this
point,” Zacharias said. “They are
not prepared to say if it’s going to
tie up with Salyut 6.
“We cannot verify that with the
data that is available to us right
now,” he said.
Oberg stressed that the size
and manner of launch was an
assumption based on the similar
ity of radio signals emanating from
Saturday’s launch.
He said he’d received his infor
mation from the Kettering Group,
an England-based network of
amateur space enthusiasts, which
said signals were being monitored
in Sweden, England, Florida and
Texas.
Oberg ruled out any Diiii
application for the latest lai
which he said had been suggt
in some quarters.
“They already have an
satellite system under anti
program and it does not
sense to duplicate that,
Olberg. “My strongest susps

TURKEY — About 2,500 friends, fans and former
Texas Playboys gathered Saturday to honor the late
Bob Wills, who left his barber’s chair in Turkey and
went on to popularize his own brand of country
music that came to be known as Western swing.
“In Turkey, Bob means more to those people than
the queen does to England,” said Al Strickland,
Wills’ long-time “piano-pounder.”
Strickland was one of 25 former members of Wills’
band that spread Western swing — an eclectic com
bination of black blues. Dixieland jazz and hillbilly
music — in the 1930s and 1940s. Wills’ songs were
punctuated by his trademark “ah ha” hollers.
Saturday’s 10th annual Bob Wills Day — the
largest reunion of former band members since Wills
died in 1975 — was highlighted by the Playboys’
performance of old Wills’ standards like “Faded
Love,” “Rose of San Antone” and “Milk Cow Blues. ”
Most of Turkey’s population of 600 closed stores
and deserted downtown to see the performance at
the Bob Wills Center, an old high school converted
to house Wills’ memorabilia. Townsfolk held a bar
becue, parade and fiddlers’ contest earlier in the day.
The center is maintained by the Bob Wills Found

The fans included a mixture of young peoples
old timers, including Jim Garner, a Turkey nit
who knew Wills when Wills was known asJimEi
“My daddy told Jim Bob to go down to M

One long-time fan drove 130 miles from Gni'
Texas for the show.
“I came because Tm an old fiddler,” saidOi
Gammill. “I’ve been to a lot of his dances. Heplasi
my kind of music — country Western with
time fiddling, breakdowns and waltzes.”
In Fort Worth, Wills was an original member!
the Light Crust Doughboys, a country group spu
sored by Light Crust Flour. But Wills, not coni
with standard country music, was seeking his o*
style of music and eventually created swing.
“Above all else, he wanted to be different,” so:
Leon McAuliffe, Wills’ original steel guitar player
“He was an innovater.”
