|Founder ? s portrait given
to Fort Worth museum
United Press International
FORT WORTH — A near life-
sesupl lized portrait of a Mexican War
;eneral was returned Saturday to
. the city he founded but never vi-
over i l sited, Fort Worth.
The portrait of Gen. William
enkins Worth, who master
minded the American victory
against the Mexicans in Monter
rey, Mex., and later founded a
string of Texas frontier forts, was
painted in 1934 by artist Hugh
Mac Kay for the General Worth
Hotel in Hudson, N.Y., Worth’s
birthplace.
The picture has hung in a pri
vate residence since 1969 and was
acquired by Texas businessman
Bill Turner, who presented the
72-inch high canvas to the Fort
Worth Museum of Science and
History Saturday.
Worth entered the army during
the War of 1812 and rose within
two years to the rank of major. In
1820 he was appointed comman
dant at West Point, where Robert
E. Lee served as his cadet ad
jutant.
He died in San Antonio in 1849,
before he was able to visit the
northernmost Texas outpost he
founded that bears his name.
Death-row wedding planned
United Press International
ANGOLA, La. — Condemned
killer Golin Clark, hoping to legal
ly give his name to his 3-year-old
son, wants to marry the boy’s
mother in a prison ceremony be
fore Clark dies in the electric chair
Nov. 5.
Clark said he asked Shirley
Hunter to marry him about 10
days ago in order to give his son,
Dylan, the Clark family name.
No wedding date has been set,
but Clark said he hoped he would
be allowed to schedule the cere
mony soon.
“I want this to happen as soon
as possible,” he said. “Time is not
on my side.”
Clark was sentenced to die for
the 1978 slaying of a Baton Rouge
restaurant manager who was shot
in the head and stabbed more than
30 times during a robbery. While
admitting his part in the robbery,
Clark has maintained his partner
in crime, Mike Glover, actually
killed Manager Fred Schmidt.
Glover, serving a life sentence,
testified against Clark at his 1979
trial.
Clark said he asked Hunter to
marry him during a routine visit to
the state prison.
“I said, ‘Shirley, honey, will you
marry me? I love you,”’ Clark
said. “She didn’t say yes until
three days later.”
Hunter has confirmed the prop
osal, saying she hopes it will help
the couple’s son when he is older.
The convicted killer said he has
asked to meet with Angola War
den Ross Maggio to work out de
tails for the wedding.
Clark, 27, of Cairo, Ga., and
Hunter, 28, of Birmingham, Eng
land, met in 1976 when Clark was
working for an offshore oil com
pany in Houma, La. Dylan was
bom there Dec. 15, 1977, and
Clark left shortly after the boy’s
birth.
Clark, who has dropped his
appeals and asked to be executed,
said he has made a tape to explain
