state Battalion/Page November 1, Wood slaying trial moves to coverup United Press International SAN ANTONIO — Charles Harrelson not only killed feder al Judge John H. Wood, pro secutors say, but with his wife and others engaged in a three- year coverup to try to keep from being caught. The trial of Charles and Jo Ann Harrelson and codefen dant Elizabeth Chagra moved last week from the actual slaying of Wood into the later actions that led to obstruction of justice charges against all three. The government says the Harrelsons convinced relatives and friends to support their story that they were at home in Dallas the morning of May 29, 1979, when Wood was shot in San Antopio. SHORT NECKS 1 Teresa Starr,>< vyho is Mrs. Harrelson’s daughter, said she picked up $250,000 in Las Vegas in June 1979 and re turned it to the Harrelsons, who told her to carry the secret of the errand “to my grave,” Later, they wrote letters praising her for going to jail rather than tes tifying before a grand jury. A Harrelson friend, Billy T. Dyer, admitted on the witness stand that he lied to the FBI, saying he was with Harrelson the morning Wood was killed. But the government still has reams ol evidence to produce at the trial, from the judge’s death to the indictments returned April 15, 1982, after a $5 million investigation. Today, defense lawyers will argue against allowing the pro secutors to play the FBI’s wire taps and bug^onjimmy Chagra while he was serving time at the federal prison ih Leavenwbrth, Kan.

Caucus chairman Lena Guer rero, who also works for an ad agency that represents Demo crat Mark While, said the 30- second spot about utility rates “needlessly portrays women as ignorant beings who are easily misled on issues.” Clements’ campaign discre dited her statement because of her connections with White’s campaign. “I think it’s self-evident what her interests are,” said Clements spokesman Tony Garrett. Guerrero said: “My firm handles a variety of campaigns for a variety of Democratic can didates and Mark White is a client. But I don’t think the Re publicans or Democrats who know me would dispute the fact that I am first and foremost a feminist.” In the Clements’ ad, she said, a woman expresses concern ab out high utility rates and the fuel adjustment charge. A male voice, apparently her husband, belittles her position and lists facts and figures to sup port Clements and attacks White. Gradually, the woman changes her mind, she said. “It perpetrates the stereotype that women must rely on men for political and economic facts,” said Guerrero. Clements’ media advisers have chosen to portray the gov ernor as a “macho man,” said Guerrero, adding that pol show him doing poorly atnonj women voters. “They do not, however, neejl to compound this problem portraying Texas women political Little Miss Muffets,s| ting on their tuffets, untilamaf boogie bear , scares their m taken notions away,” she said.
