Witness testifies Bower
was in Sherman before
United Press International
SHERMAN — A woman who
runs a vegetable market testi
fied Wednesday she met Lester
Leroy Bower Jr. last fall in the
company of one of four men he
is accused of killing in an ultra
light hangar on a north Texas
ranch.
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

$4,000, that Tate was advertis
ing for sale.
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.

AUSTIN — The Texas
Court of Criminal Appeals
Wednesday overturned the cap
ital murder conviction and
death sentence of a San Anto
nio man who was the alleged hit
man in a 1976 murder-for-hire
scheme.
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.

United Press International
JUAREZ, Mexico — A total
of 193 people were exposed to
low levels of radioactivity from
contaminated steel in January,
but only two face serious health
problems, federal officials said
Wednesday.
Dr. Juan Rauda Esquivel said
the two patients, a 16-year-old
boy and a 28-year-old man, may
be sterile as a result of contact
with steel contaminated by Co
balt 60, a radioactive isotope
used in radiation therapy.
The radiactivity was discov
ered in January in steel rebars
