The tape, intended by Staton to be used for evidence in a child custody battle with his ex-wife, Sherry Wolf, recorded the sounds of the blows Wolf admit tedly delivered to Staton with an iron bar in the living room of the Wolfs’ home instead. South Texas law officials found the recorder when the bodies of Staton and Castro were found in a drainage canal three weeks after the killings. The tape was sent to the FBI in Washington to determine if there was anything on it of use in the case. The FBI found what District Attorney Rey Cantu told jurors was “23 minutes of death.” Staton could be heard moan ing, the blood in his lungs gurg ling as he was dragged from the house and dumped in the trunk of a car. A faint shotgun blast, the one which killed Castro who was also beaten, can be heard on the tape. Cantu, who played parts of the tape yet again during the punishment phase of the trial Wednesday, said without it, get ting a conviction would have been more difficult. “In most murder cases the only witness you have is dead and the only thing you have is what the defendant tells you,” he said. “I know of no other trial where evidence such as this was supplied by one of the victims.” Cantu said he will use the tape again, if admitted as evidence, in the Wolfs’ separate trials for Sta ton’s death. Mrs. Wolf is to be tried in July. Wolfs trial has not been set. Wolf had maintained during the eight-day trial he was inno cent by reason of temporary in sanity of killing Castro and Sta ton, both 26, because he could no longer take his stepdaugh ter’s crying when she had to leave with her father on court- appointed visits.

Officials fear police imposters United Press International SAN ANTONIO — Two re cent burglaries of stores that provide police uniforms and badges have authorities con cerned about possible police im posters, Deputy Chief Marion Talbert said Thursday. Last January, burglars took several police uniforms in va rious stages of completion from Sugarman’s Uniform Store, and a March 22 burglary of Sim- mangs Engraving netted about 40 police, fire and sheriffs de partment badges. “We’re concerned, but we don’t consider it a critical thing,” Talbert said.

Gerald Geistweidt, R- Mason, said his program could break the cycle of welfare de pendency and save the state $9 million a year. “Let’s help the people get out of the hole we helped put them in by not giving them alterna tives,” Geistweidt said. Under the program, a wel fare recipient would be required to take a job in the public or pri vate sector under a two-month arrangement where the reci pient would continue to receive all welfare payments. During the next four months, AFDC payments would be switched to the employer as a subsidy for the job training. The state would pay for child care and transportation during the six-month period. However opponents, mostly black and Hispanic lawmakers, said the plan would not work. Criss, D-Texas program could Rep.

The spokesman said the ships traveled in international waters along the U.S. coast east of Texas at one point during a three-month visit to Cuba. He said the ships operated in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mex ico from Nov. 25, 1982 until Feb. 1, 1983. The task force consisted of four ships, including a missile cruiser named the Admiral Isa kov, a frigate named the Resvyy, a tanker and a submarine, said Pentagon spokesman Bill Rable. “One of the primary objec tives of the task force visit was to show the flag, as they do periodically. They were in Cuba for a while and in Cuban waters for most of their stay,” Rable said. Long said ships of any nation can legally travel international waters, which lie beyond the 3- mile territorial limits of the Un ited States. Officials said such trips close to adversary nations are routine. “If those aren’t seagulls ... were in trouble.” There’s a better way to see America this summer.
