Doctors optimistic that twin will survive United Press International SAN ANTONIO — Doctors said Tuesday they were opti mistic that 4'/2-pound Emily will live to become the first Siamese twin in the nation’s history to survive surgical separation in volving a shared heart. Emily was surgically sepa rated from her sister last week in an 8‘/2-hour operation at Wil- ford Hall Medical Center at Lackland Air Force Base. The child, born April 18, was in crit ical but stable condition, doctors said. The two girls shared a heart, small intestines and liver, but only Emily survived the sur gery. Hospital spokesman Capt. Cliff Enloe declined to release the name of the family, but said they were in their 20s and had other children. However, the couple is reportedly an Ait- Force family from Wichita Falls. At a news conference Tues day, Dr. John Weller said a choice had to be made about which twin had the better chance of survival. “They shared a heart ... sup plying blood to each baby,” he said. “It was not possible to sep arate the heart in any way. It was apparent that one baby had a little bit more favorable anat omy than the other from a car diac standpoint.” He said it was impossible to save both infants, and that a board of ethics determined the girls would die if a separation was not attempted. Weller and Dr. Robert deL- emos said they were optimistic for Fmilv’s survival. AGGIE CLEANERS Corps Members FREE Uniform Storage for Summer You pay only for the dry cleaning. Hours: M-F 7:30-5:30 Sat. 8-3 846-4116 - Northgate-111 College Main Prosecution rests its cose in prison worker's murder United Press International EDINBURG — The state rested its case Tuesday in the murder trial of former convict Eroy Brown, leaving un answered key questions about the events of April 4, 1981 when Brown gunned down a prison farm manager and drowned the warden of the Ellis Pentientary unit. Prosecutor Frank Blazek, the diistrict attorney of Walker County where the killings oc curred, rested his case at 4:40 p.m. after presenting six hours of testimony from four wit nesses, including a pathologist and a ballistics expert. The pathologist testified that farm manager Billy Max Moore died of a gunshot wound to the head fired from a pistol belong ing to Ellis Unit Warden Wal lace Pack. District Judge Darrell Hester denied a defense motion for a directed verdict of acquittal and recessed the jury until 9:15 a.m. Wednesday when the defense is scheduled to begin its case. Defense attorney State Sen. Wesleyan college put on probation Craig Washington, D-Houston, said Brown, a 33-year-old Waco native, would be among the first 20 defense witneses he would call in an effort to show that Brown acted in self defense. Brown has testified on two previous capital murder trials in the Pack killing that he attacked the two men because they planned to take him to an area known as “The Bottoms” to tor ture him. His first trial in the Pack slay ing ended in a hung jury. Then a Galveston jury in late 1982 found him innocent in the war den’s murder. The current trial deals only with the Moore slay ing. Although Blazek has prom ised new scientific evidence, the prosecutor said Tuesday it probably not be presented until he rebuts Washington’s defense scenario of how the killings oc curred. None of the four state wit nesses that Blazek called before resting answered questions about why Pack and Moore were at the Texas Department of Corrections prison farm on a Saturday, their day off; why they had the hand-cuffed Brown in the front seat of the truck on a road leading to “The Bottoms;” how Brown came to be shot in the foot; why he was not wearing shoes as regula tions required or how he came in possession of Pack’s pistol. Brown contends he shot Moore and Pack as the two grappled over the snub-nosed 38-caliber revolver.

Paul Broadus (409) 696-2611 A great way ot life. m m i® both wen ramble h • from^ both ffjj atcher.Tj United Press International FORT WORTH — Texas „ Wesleyan College has been convert |i aceti on two-year probation )y its sponsor, the United Meth- >mefn® Wist Church, for apparent fis- al and administrative misman agement, officials said Tuesday. However, officials told linked Press International that [ction to correct the school’s fis- problems has already been Irdered. A church report, obtained by e Fort Worth Star-Telegram, redicted debt problems for the hool amounting to more than million over the next two ademic years. The school cur- ntly holds a campus debt of ore than $10 million. [ The report, issued March 30, ferred to a “grave lack of mpetence in fiscal manage ment, or, at the very least, gross attention to v such manage ment, by the leaders of the )ard of trustees and by the resk lent,” the newspaper said. Church officials declined to nfirni the accuracy of the jewspaper report. “Steps were taken before the report was issued and have been taken since the report,” Wesleyan spokesman Bill Hix said. “Additional steps are planned. Obviously, we don’t feel we’re going in a negative di rection.” Bishop John Russell, the church’s top official in the Dal- las-Fort Worth area, stressed that probationary status does not damage the school’s aca demic accreditation or its relationship to the church. The school, he said, remains a Methodist-sponsored institute of higher learning. “We view the report not as a hindrance, but as a vehicle for assistance,” he said. The report, which praised the school’s academics, sug gested delaying indefinitely the construction of a new $125 mil lion campus for the school. Among the possibilities for rehabilitating the financial wel fare of Wesleyan was getting a loan from RepublicBank Dallas, using part of a trust which will become available to the school next year or selling some of its property.
