Next to the Ramada Inn, C.S. overturned the first-degree murder conviction of Joseph Marshall, who was sentenced to the electric chair in the shooting death of Borden Co. executive Max Minning, 62, on March 23, 1980. The court was prompted to order a new trial because the ori ginal judge refused, without a hearing, to consider a request to appoint a separate attorney to represent co-defendant Kevin Marshall, justices said. A 1980 U.S. Supreme Court decision requires a separate trial attorney be appointed to repre sent any co-defendants if the judge is asked to do so, the state’s high court said. “The trial judge must either grant the request or investigate the risks of multiple representa tion if there is a possibility of conflict of interest,” the court said. The two Marshalls, who are not related, were represented by the same court-appointed attor ney in separate trials and both were convicted. Kevin Marshall pleaded guil ty to manslaughter in the slaying and was sentenced to 21 years in jail.

Fire fighters from Longview TWO OF THE HICEST, SWEETEST GUYS EVERTO PLAY FOOTBALL ON DRINKIN’ DOWN BEER AND EATIN’UP QUARTERBACKS by Bubba Smith and Dck Butkus BUBBA: Now that we're not playin’ football anymore, we spend more time poppin’ tops off cans of Lite Beer from Miller than poppin’ quarterbacks. DICK: But our favorite topic of con versation over a couple of Lite Beers is still the art of playin’ defense. BUBBA: Yeah. The bigger we were, the harder they fell. DICK: Very true. Being big helps give you presence. What I call winning through intimidation. BUBBA: But you also have to play smart. Like watching the guy in front of you for a tip. Sometimes the position of a guard’s feet’ll tell you where he’s gonna go once the ball is hiked. Feet can tell you a lot. I guess that’s why shoes have tongues. DICK: But smart guys remember they’re on a team. Work with a partner. Try to draw players, so maybe he can get through. This technique also works well when you want to get a Lite Beer in a crowded bar. BUBBA: And drinkin’ Lite Beer is one of the smartest things you can do. Because Lite’s less fillin', so it won’t slow you down. DICK: Sure. And even though we’re not playin’ anymore, after years of eatin’ up quarterbacks, it’s nice to relax with the great taste of Lite Beer. BUBBA: You might say we’ve gone from being heavy hitters to Lite drinkers. Right, Mr. Butkus? DICK: Right, Mr. Smith. and Tyler were called in to assist in fighting the blaze, described by one dispatcher as a “serious, major fire.” A company official said a crew was welding in the area of the explosion and a spark may have touched off the explosion at the small refinery which em ploys about 30 people.
