Only eight cases of multiple
personality, a rare psychological
disorder popularized bv “T hree
Faces of Eve” and “Sybil,” have
been published in professional
journals. However, psycholog
ists believe that many more cases
gounpublished because thev are
never diagnosed or re|X)rted.
Texas A&M University has
had at least two of cases of multi
ple personality in the last couple
of years.
Dr. Jeffrey M. Kern, a
psychology professor at Texas
A&M, said he knows of one stu
dent who had multiple personal
ity, and the counseling center
has reported another.
Textbooks define the cause
of multiple personality as an
avoidance response which
senes to protect a person from
highly stressful events, and
Kern says college life can cause
stress.
“Often students are brought
up in a very strict environment.
When they get to college, they
can't handle certain situations,
so their personality splits,” Kern
said.
Many times the psychological
problems are sexuallv-related.
he said.
Marriage, divorce, child rear
ing and peer pressure, all stress
ful situations, also can cause
multiple personality in people
who have trouble dealing wdth
stress, Kern said.
A childhood trauma was the
cause of one of the most cele
brated cases of split personality.
Chris Sizemore, the subject of
the book, “Three Faces of Eve,”
was tw’o years old when she saw
tw'o men killed in a sawmill acci
dent and then saw her mother
badlv cut in a separate incident.
She was unable to cope wdth the
accidents and developed a
second personality which was
able to handle the situation. Af
ter the accidents, her personali
ties always came in three’s. Size
more spent 46 years of her life
battling 22 different personali
ties.
Kern said thousands of multi
ple personality cases probably
have gone undetected and unre-
portect because psychologists
know little about the illness and
often do not report their failures
in curing patients.
Kern said one example of a
multiple personality is when a
person, who is normally shy or
introverted, becomes bold or
outgoing when faced with a
situation too difficult to handle.
Other people usually cannot
tell if a person has multiple per
sonality, Kern said. Many times
the person does not know he has
a problem until he gets into
some kind of trouble. He may
find himself somewhere and not
know how or why he got there.
Kern said this is often the time a
person seeks help for the
problem.
To cure multiple personality
cases, doctors try to help the pa
tient deal with whatever causes
the personality split.

SAN ANTONIO — A judge’s
son who was looking idly out the
window of his brother’s apart
ment on May 29, 1979, said he
saw federal ludge John Wood
lean into his car. heard a shot
and saw Wood tall back onto the
pavement.
James A. Spears, son of
Senior L'.S. District Court Judge
Adrian Spears, testified
Wednesday tnat he saw Wood,
whom he knew personally, leav
ing his apartment lor work at
8:30 a.m.
As Spears watched from an
apartment across the driveway,
he said he saw Wood lean
through the front door of his
Chevrolet as il placing some
thing on the seat.
“Then right alter that I heard
aloud — what I thought was a
backfire," Spears said. T turned
back and saw a man (Wood)
down in the parking lot. 1 he
first thing l did was 1 called the
emergence numl^er and
said there was a man down in the
iparking lot."
Then he ran downstairs,
Iwhere he found Kathryn Wood
[standing at the door of her
japartment.
Mrs. Wood tearfully testified
IWcdnesdav that she was on the
{telephone just after Wood left
[for court when she heard the
■hot.
"I just dropped the phone
[and went outside.” she said.
[“The door to his car was open. I
looked down and picked up his
ihead and said. 'John, who shot
[you? - He didn’t answer me."
Six months earlier, Mrs.
[Wood said, her husband had re
fused the protection ol L'.S.
[marshals assigned to him after
[someone fired shots at L’.S.
[Attorney James Kerr of San
Antonio.
“He liked the marshals but he
didn't like to be followed every
minute.” Mrs. Wood said.
Charles Harrelson, convicted
in a 1968 contract killing, has
been charged with murder in
the judge’s death. Prosecutors
say he killed Wood for $250,000
from Jimmv Chagra of El Paso,
who feared a life sentence from
Wood in a scheduled drug
smuggling trial.
Harrelson’s w ife Jo Ann is on
trial for obstruction of justice
and Chagra’s wife Elizabeth for
conspiracy.
Mrs. Wood, w ho had made no
public statement since the
slaving, read aloud a letter she
received last month from Mrs.
Chagra, who asked forgiveness
for Iter role in the slaying. But
asked if she bad forgiven Mrs.
Chagra, the widow said, “No, I
cannot forgive.”
The letter had not been made
public previously.
“I am a newly-born Christian
and after making peace with
Cod, I decided to trv and make
peace with mankind and espe
cially you,” the letter began. “Mv
name is Elizabeth Nichols Chag-
Mrs. Chagra, 28, said she was
in the kitchen frying chicken the
day her husband said, “I’m
going to kill Judge Wood.”
“I had heard my husband on
many occasions use this phrase.
And never before had anything
happened to these people,” Mrs.
Chagra wrote. “I said, ‘OK, hon-
ey.’
“I was not involved in a plot or
plan for I never sat down and
conspired to have your husband
murdered,” she said. “God
know’s that I am guilt-free of
that crime.”
Jimmy Chagra first denied
any involvement in the judge's
death but later insisted that his
wife deliver the payoff money,
she said.
Mrs. Chagra complied but
said she eventually had a ner
vous breakdown because of
pressure from government and
guih.
"Regardless of the fact that I
did this act out of love and devo
tion to my husband,” she wrote,
"I am willing to take my share of
the responsibility for what I did.
But as a Christian, I know I
could never repay or repair the
hurt and pain you must have
felt."
