Officer Kenneth Knapp, a 23-year veteran of the Houston Police Department, said Mon day the handcuffed man not only stole his car, but also switch ed on the siren to dear traffic as he sped aw'ay. The whole thing started when the suspect was caught by several citizens early Monday stealing tires from a car. They called police and Knapp came to take the man away. He said he handcuffed the suspect behind his back, placed him in the back seat of the police car and began writing his report. He then said he heard a commo tion. “I turned around and looked and he was backing up (the police car),” Knapp said. The man apparently slipped his handcuffed hands around from his back and then with his bare feet kicked out a plastic window dividing the front from the back seat of the car. Knapp described the man as small and skinny, making it easy for him to slip through the 12- inch by 14-inch hole. The stolen car was found ab out three miles away. Police are searching for the man. aff photo by Peftflj United Press International USTIN — The campaign state treasurer, oversha- ed by charges of official nhs- duct against incumbent tren G.

In a later development, Ichards accused Denton of [taking unauthorized use of sev- ral statewide groups’ letter- j leads. Richards said Denton was ^ tying to mislead the media and public into believing the groups had endorsed him. Denton responded that a campaign worker used bad judgment in photocopying the letterheads, but denied any un ethical conduct. Issues in the campaign pri marily involve modernization of the treasurer’s of fice and possi ble changes in the way state de posits are handed out to banks. “Billions of dollars in state funds are deposited in Texas banks on the basis of whim rather than on the basis of sound financial management,” Richards said. Richards, 42, said computers used in the treasurers office are antiquated in comparison to other state agencies and Hard ing has done a poor job of hiring women and minorities within the department. However, Harding has stri dently defended his record and repudiates Richards claims that the treasurer’s office is behind the times, saying it is one of the most modern in the United States. Hard-ing said 98.2 percent of the state’s funds were invested in fiscal year 1981 and the state earned a record $302 million off the deposits. agement skills and the initiation of electronic transfers and de- Denton agrees that the posits could net the state sub treasurer’s office could use stantially higher interest re modernizing and says his man- venues.
