arrested for forgery
United Press International
FORT WORTH — The step
daughter of Cullen Davis, a mil
lionaire industrialist involved in
one of the state’s most notorious
murder cases, is fighting a he
roin habit and hoping to be out
of jail by Christmas.
Angela Dee Davis, 25, was
arrested on a stolen check
forgery charge Nov. 21 at a groc
ery store in Fort Worth. Because
she is on probation for an earlier
forgery arrest, she faces up to 10
years in prison if convicted of
the latest charges.

mansion in the summer of 1976.
Priscilla Davis, who was di

Dallas.
Pricilla Davis’ 12-year-old
daughter, Andrea Wilborn
Davis, was killed, as was one of
her friends, Stan Farr. Another
family friend was wounded.
Davis was tried in Andrea’s

Angela Dee Davis said she
turned to heroin after the kill
ings and then to crime to sup
port her habit.
“I was at my boyfriend’s
house when they called to tell me
what happened at the mansion
that night,” she said. “At first I
just thought it was some kind of
sick joke.
“All that was happening, and
then my boyfriend was killed (in
an auto accident) 10 days later,”
she said.
After trying college in Lub
bock and Denton, she returned
to Fort Worth and “fell in with a
bunch of degenerates,” she said.
‘I guess that was because I
had money and they knew it,”
said Davis, who draws dividends
from stock in Kendavis Indus
tries, the company her step
father owns with his brothers.
Davis was arrested in 1980
for stealing a blouse from a Fort
Worth store, but that charge was
dismissed when she paid the
store back. She was arrested
| again in 1981 for stealing several
articles of clothing from another
store, pleaded guilty and was
placed on one year’s probation.
Four months ago she was
placed on five years’ probation
and ordered to enter a drug re
habilitation program in Dallas
after pleading guilty to passing
forged checks and to credit card
abuse.
Because she was still on prob
ation at the time of her Nov. 21
arrest, she could be sentenced to
up to ip years in prison if con
victed.

AUSTIN — The soon-to-be
divorced parent company of
Southwestern Bell Telephone
Tuesday joined the Public Util
ity Commission’s consumer
counsel in opposing Bell’s re
quest for a $976 million interim
rate hike.
American Telephone 8c Tele
graph Co., which will be split
from Southwestern Bell on Jan.
1, said Bell’s request could force
AT&T to file for a $200 million
increase of its own.
Spokesman Ron LeMay said
AT&T agreed that Bell de
served an interim rate increase,
but he said Bell’s proposal would
force long-distance carriers,
such as AT&T, to pay most of
the rates.
Gifts, decorations
and memories
“This proposal would impose
costs on long distance services
that never before have been
assigned to them,” he said. “The
premium charge on AT&T
Communications would place us
at a competitive disadvantage.”
“This is, of course, something
they have to make a decision
on,” Bell spokesman Dale John
son said of the AT&T statement.
Upon divestiture, AT&T will
provide interstate long distance
service, while Southwestern Bell
will provide local service and ac
cess lines to long distance car
riers.
Bell is seeking the interim
rates while the PUC decides the
fate of its $1.7 billion rate case,
which is aimed at offsetting the
effects of divestiture.
PUC administrative law judge
Jacqueline Holmes said she will
take comment on Bell’s request
until Friday and will probably
make a decision next week. The
company has the option of
appealing her ruling to the full
three-member commission.
The PUC staff has recom
mended interim rates of $645
million.
PUC consumer counsel Jim
Boyle said Bell’s request was
“bloated” by false estimates of
revenue losses and lucrative ex
ecutive salaries.
Boyle filed a motion for dis
missal of the interim rates on the
grounds that an ongoing hear
ing on Bell’s rate case showed
the company needed less than
one-tentn of the $976 million it
requested as an interim rate in
crease.
The proposed interim rates
would result in hundreds of mil
lions of dollars of overcharges to
residential ratepayers, said
Boyle.

Bell hearing, which began last
month, showed the company
