Hinton said the models will
help prove inmate Leroy Ed
ward Brown, 30, killed warden
Wallace M. Pack, 54, in an April
confrontation over a denied fur
lough. Brown also is charged
with killing Ellis Farm Manager
Billy Max Moore in the same in
cident, but no trial has been
scheduled in that case.
Williamson was assistant war
den at the Ellis U nit and was one
of the first prison officials on the
scene after Pack and Moore
were killed.
State District Judge Henry
Dalehite denied the last of the
defense motions to dismiss the
charges.
Defense lawyers for Brown
said they plan to show the in
mate acted in self-defense, in
fear of abuse by the prison offi
cials, and observers have pre
dicted that trying to prove that
theory will involve presenting
evidence of conditions in Texas
Department of Corrections.

“Raising money is the hardest
thing in politics.” Temple said.
“It’s never easy, but this cam

necessary to spend some of my
own money, but I don’t have a
budget drawn up yet.”
Temple said he talked to
McKnight Monday and “had a

filed entry papers 25 minutes
before the 6 p.m. deadline. He
has five years remaining on his
term as Railroad Commissioner,
but his campaign will not force
him to resign from office.

Court-appointed defense
lawyers Craig Washington of
Houston said he had no plans to
put TDC on trial, however.
Hinton, also of Houston, said
he expected the judge to restrict
the defense presentation strictly
to evidence relevant to a self-
defense case. He said he did not
expect Dalehite to allow the de
fense to divert the trial to condi
tions in the TDC.
Hinton said they would show
that Brown had a dispute with
Moore about a denied furlough
and that Moore took Brown to
see Pack, who was on the farm
even though it was Saturday.
Prosecutors charge that
Brown, who was serving a sent
ence for robbery, grabbed a
gun, shot Pack in the arm, shot
Moore in the head, then pur
sued Pack into a drainage ditch
where he held Pack’s head
under water.
