The
Lucas’ first death-penalty trial starts
United Press International
SAN ANGELO — Witnesses
in the first death-penalty trial of
admitted mass murderer Henry
Lee Lucas were scheduled Mon
day to begin outlining the state’s
case in the 1979 Georgetown
slaying of an unidentified hitch
hiker.
Lucas is-accused of strang
ling, robbing, kidnapping and
sexually assaulting the woman,
whose body was found along
Interstate 35 in central Texas
on Halloween night. She was
clad only in orange socks.
State District Judge John
Carter granted the 47-year-old
drifter and former Michigan
mental patient a change of ve
nue for the trial. Court officials
said the prosecution and de
fense each planned to call about
10 witnesses.
One defense witness will be
Ottis Toole, a Florida inmate
and former traveling compan
ion of Lucas. Lucas’ attorneys
say they will argue he is inno
cent by reason of insanity.
He has confessed to more
than 150 slayings across the
country. Although previously
convicted of two Texas mur
ders, this is the first time Lucas
has faced a capital murder
charge.
If convicted, he would re
ceive a sentence of life in prison
or the death penalty.
Georgetown attorneys spent
13 days questioning more than
80 potential jurors to seat a
four-man, eight-woman jury
with two women alternates.
Jury selection was completed
Wednesday.
Williamson County District
Attorney Ed Walsh has said he
will seek the death penalty if
Lucas is convicted.
“This is the first capital mur
der case for everybody except
Walsh,” defense attorney Par
ker McCullough said last week.
Carter previously ruled con
fessions Lucas gave Williamson
County authorities will be al
lowed as evidence.
Defense attorney Don Hig
ginbotham said Lucas made the
statements to give police what
they wanted to hear and also as
“legal suicide” in remorse for
the stabbing death of his 15-
year-old common-law wife,
Frieda “Becky” Powell.
Lucas received a life sentence
for Powell’s death and also was
sentenced to 75 years in prison
for the slaying of an elderly
Ringgold woman.

United Press International
LAWRENCE, Kan. — A
week-long effort to raise money
for a Vietnam memorial in the
nation’s wheatbelt begins today,
in memory of University of
Kansas students who died in the
jungles and rice paddies of
Southeast Asia.
The fundraiser coincides
with POWMIA-Vietnam Me
morial Awareness Week at K.U.
“This isn’t a memorial to the
Vietnam War, but a memorial
to K.U. students who died in
that war ... to honor the sacri
fices of those K.U. students who
served and died,” said Lisa
Ashner, a member of the Uni
versity of Kansas Vietnam Me
morial Committee.
“I just thought it was some
thing that was neglected on our
campus,” the 21-year-old senior
said.
Since last fall, about half of
the $30,000 needed for the me
morial has been raised. Plans
call for the memorial, a foun
tain incorporated with lime
stone, to be built in a courtyard
near the student union.
So far, most donations have
come from student groups, she
said. The committee hopes this
week’s activities will result in do
nations from a wider spectrum!
Through what is described as
a tedious search, the committee
has uncovered the names of 51
K.U. students who were killed
or are listed as missing in action
in Vietnam. Ms. Ashner said
those names will appear on the
memorial, which she hopes will
be constructed by next Veterans
Day, Nov. 11.
“This memorial has pro
voked discussion about Viet
nam, what it was about, what
was right about it or what was
wrong,” she said. “If we are not
to repeat things like that, we
have to be aware of it.”
