HOUSTON — A Colorado
man who pleaded guilty in the
$15 million Gulf Oil Chemicals
Co. bomb plot in Texas last year
testified Tuesday that an associ
ate he originally described as a
dupe was really a co
conspirator.
John McBride, who is serving
a 40-year plea-bargained sent
ence in the case, testified against
Ted McKinney, 46, who is on
trial charged with 12 counts in
cluding extortion in the Septem
ber 1982 plot foiled by the FBI.
McBride, 46, of Durango,
Colo., said in an Oct. 3, 1982
statement to the FBI that he
masterminded the plot and
tricked the innocent McKinney
into becoming involved. The
statement said McKinney was
“aghast” when he learned a
crime was underway and wanted
out.
In that original statement,
McBride said he threatened
McKinney’s wife, Carla Cooper,
to keep McKinney involved af
ter McKinney realized what was
happening.
McKinney, a former Univer
sity of Texas-San Antonio pro
fessor who was mining near
Durango at the time the plot was
developed, has adopted the ori
ginal McBride statement as his
defense.
McBride now says that state
ment was a lie to try to gain free
dom for his wife, Jill Bird, 37,
and minimum sentences for
others involved. McBride now
says McKinney was an active
participant. ,
McBride denied in court
In a statement, John
McBride said he

chemical plant near Houston.
Although the plant was eva
cuated and shut down for sever
al days, the bombs were found
and disarmed. One was ex
ploded harmlessly.
McBride also testified that
McKinney picked out the extor
tion payoff location near
Phoenix, Ariz. FBI agents foiled
the plot. They arrested McKin
ney in Phoenix, as well as
another participant who
pleaded guilty, Michael Worth,
34. Other arrests followed.
