Sentencing was delayed, but
Wilson could receive up to 17
years in prison and $145,000 in
fines.
Wilson, 54, the tall, disting
uished-looking son of a farmer
who rose to high rank in the in
telligence agency, was convicted
in Alexandria, Va., Nov. 16 of
supplying arms to Libyan intelli
gence agents.
After the Virginia trial, he
was sentenced to 15 years in fed
eral prison and fined $200,000.
He awaits trial in Washington,
D.C. on charges of exporting ex
plosives to Libya in 1976 and
conspiring to murder a Libyan
official who was not harmed.
Prosecutors in the week-long
trial told the Houston jury Wil
son’s supplying explosives to the
Libyans was part of a broad-
based $22 million deal to supply
arms to terrorist forces led by
Khadafy.
Defense lawyers claimed Wil
son, who served in the Marines,
CIA and Naval Intelligence
from 1951 through 1976, was a
CIA agent when an explosives
shipment went from Houston
Intercontinental Airport to
Libya Oct. 2, 1977.
The defense tried unsuccess
fully to introduce testimoai
the CIA readily discredilij
mer agents like Wilson v
suits CIA purposes.
Prosecutors Friday
duced an affidavit from
A. Briggs, who i
self as tliird in commandil
CIA. The affidavit saidifl
was not registered as an of
or unofficial agent of tilt
after 1976.

in latest trucking incident
United Press International
The number of violent epi
sodes in the independent truck
er’s strike went up and down in
Texas, with an 18-wheeler
grazed by a shotgun blast in
south Dallas County, and a
trucker confessing to self-
inflicted damage in West Texas
on Saturday.
In the latest incident, an 18-
wheeler driving north on Inter
state 45 in rural Dallas County at
about 11:30 a.m. was pierced by
shots in the passenger door, but
there were no injuries, a Hutch
ins police dispatcher said.
The dispatcher said investi
gators had a suspect in mind, but
no arrests had been made.
Also on Saturday, a Missouri
man, who owned up to shooting
his own truck and blaming strik
ing truckers, was being held in
the Reeves County jail, a sher
iffs department spokesman
said.
John Hargrove, 44, of St.
Louis, was fined $563 Thursday
and sentenced to three days in
jail on a charge of making a false
report in the Tuesday incident,
sheriff’s deputy Gary Ingram
said.
Ingram said authorities were
skeptical from the start.
“It just didn’t look right. The
shots were too close to have been
shot at a vehicle going down the
road at the speed he said he was
going,” Ingram said.
Hargrove’s admission drop
ped the number of strike-
related incidents in Texas to six,
but the Dallas County incident
promptly raised the tally to
seven.
In a pre-dawn incident Fri
day, a gunman used a highpo-
wered rifle to shoot at two truck
ers traveling southbound on In
terstate 35 about 1 V-2 miles north
of Denton, sheriffs deputies
said.
A bullet sliced through the
sleeping compartment of one
truck about two feet behind the
driver. Mark Spears, 33, of Dal
las was uninjured, authorities
said.
Spears, a decorated Vietnam
War veteran, said he was driving
