Bower and his attorney, Jerry Buckner, have said the capital murder defendant was never in Grayson County before he was arrested in January at his home in Arlington, a suburb of Dallas, and taken to the Grayson County jail. Bower, 3(i, is accused of shooting to death four men last Oct. 8 on property owned by Bob Tate, a Sherman building contractor. Authorities say the motive was the theft of an ultra light aircraft, valued at about AUTO INSURANCE FOR AGGIES Call: George Webb Farmers Insurance Group 3400 S.

The other victims were Gray son County Deputy Phillip Good, 29; former Sherman po liceman Ronald Mayes, 37; and self-employed house remodeler Jerry Mack Brown, 51. Marjorie Carr said she met Bower when he came to her Sherman vegetable market in late September with Good, who was a regular customer of hers. Carr said she recognized Bower from his physique and from the nose up, because the man she saw had a beard. Bower had a beard until just be fore his trial began earlier this month. She said she chatted with the large bearded man she identi fied as Bower about naval oranges, which he wanted but which were out of season, and about the relatively cool au tumn weather. “He laughed and he said to me ‘If you think the Texas weather is cold you should see the weather we have in Colo rado.’ He said he had just moved here from Colorado,” Carr testified. Bower, a native of Tulsa, Okla., moved to Texas from Grand Junction, Colo., late last summer. Pressed by District Attorney Stephen Davidchik about why she would remember Bower, Carr said it was a slow morning at her market and he was ex tremely friendly. “He was just a large man and al he was real friendly with me,” she testified. "It was slow that morning and it was sometime between 10:30 and 11:30. I don’t get many customers with beards. Most of my customers are regulars and he was a stranger.” Carr said she recognized Bower as soon as she saw pic tures of his arrest in January but did not contact authorities until she heard Buckner say his client had never been in the county. Buckner said Wednesday he did not consider her testimony a surprise.

Citing an error in jury in structions by a lower court, the state’s highest appeal court or dered a new trial for Charles County, who was convicted of the March 20, 1976, murder of Chere Buffington. Buffington’s nude body was found in her car, which had been abandoned in the parking lot of a San Antonio junior high school. According to San Antonio prosecutors, County was hired for the killing by James Buf fington, the victim’s ex-hus band. Buffington also was tried for capital murder, but his convic tion was overturned by the high court last year because two ju rors were improperly excluded from hearing the case. In another case, the high court struck down as unconsti tutionally vague a portion of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code that forbids anyone authorized to sell beer from allowing con duct in their business that is “lewd, immoral or offensive to the public decency.” The court’s decision stemmed from charges brought against Herman Bernard Wish- now, a Houston bar owner. Wishnow was convicted of al lowing a patron in his bar to fondle the breasts of another customer while dancing. He was fined $500 and sen tenced to three days in jail. ilIMfii Wood Brook Condomlifliiuifts Br&zosland Realty Services, Inc. 4103 Texas Avenue Bryan, Texas 77802 409/846-5735 Yes, please send more information to: □Mv Parents □Mvself Name Address State -Zip.
