to kill Reagan
United Press International
TEXARKANA — A Bowie
County Jail inmate who vowed
to kill President Reagan has
been placed in Texarkana’s Fed
eral Correctional Institution by
U.S. Secret Service agents.
Franklin Theodore Shumate,
21, was charged by federal au
thorities with threatening the
life of the president and is sche
duled for arraignment Friday.
“The president needs to be
shot, and I intend to shoot him
myself if I get out (of jail),” Shu
mate told Secret Service agents
during an interview at the Bowie
County Jail Tuesday.
While in the Bowie County
Jail, Shumate sent a letter to
Reagan saying he intended to
kill him, Sheriff Thomas Hodge
said. Hodge said Bowie County
officials knew nothing about the
letter until after it had been in
tercepted by federal authorities.

HOUSTON — A San Anto

at a Houston motel where the
officer was staying says he was
threatened by the man.
William A. Weilbacher, 53, a
Bexar County deputy sheriff,
said he was on his way to his
room late Tuesday night at the
Fa Quinta. Motor Inn when he
was approached by two men.
Weilbacher said one of the
men threatened him with what

that the Secret Service came in
on it,” Cannon said.
Larry Neal of the Secret Ser
vice in Tyler would not say when
the letter was intercepted.
Chief Deputy DeWayne Can
non said he thinks Shumate
made the threat on the presi
dent’s life to avoid being sent
back to a state facility in Florida,
where he faces charges of escape
and aggravated assault on a
police officer.
Authorities say Shumate, de
scribed as an expert in the mar
tial arts, severely beat a prison
guard when he escaped March
27 from the St. John County
Prison in Florida. He had been
convicted of aggravated battery
on a police officer.
Six days after he escaped,
Texarkana authorities captured
Shumate at a house he was re

The off-duty policeman said

once in the upper chest.
The other suspect escaped.
Police said they found an air gun
at the scene.

AUSTIN — The Texas Court
of Criminal Appeals Wednesday
overturned a death sentence
given to a man convicted of kill
ing a Houston store clerk, saying
the state had failed to prove the
man would commit further vio
lent acts.
James Lawrence Roney was
convicted of killing Nyugen Viet
Hoang in October 1979 with a
sawed-off shotgun during the
holdup of a convenience store.
An autopsy showed that
Roney shot Hoang from a dis
tance of less than three feet.
Another clerk was present.
At the punishment phase of
his trial, the state presented evi
dence that Roney had partici
pated in a separate robbery just
moments before the holdup in
which Hoang was killed. The
state also tried to prove that in
the days after the shooting,
Roney spoke casually about the
killing, with no indication of re
morse.
Roney testified that he was
only 17 at the time of the killing;
he had only an eighth-grade
education; he had no prior
arrests and had voluntarily sur
rendered to police.
The jury gave Roney the
death penalty after tuliJBr^
he would commit future
violence and wouldbeail

However, d ie
