BEAUMONT — Cosandra Wil
liams believes girls have prettier
names than boys, and her 1-week-
old daughter will be able to have her
pick from 108 names in a record-set-
ting first name of 1,019 letters.
Their first child is named James
L. Williams II, which Williams said
sounds “plain and country.”
“I didn’t think she would go
through with it,” car salesman James
Williams, 26, said of his wife’s choice
for their first daughter’s name.
Williams, 23, said the name is
made up of 108 shorter names, in
cluding the names of relatives, seve
ral cities, countries and two of her
favorite automobiles.
It will never fit on the standard
forms:

Williams said she won’t call her
daughter by her full name, even
though she can pronounce it when
looking at a written copy. Instead,
the baby will be called Jameshauwn-
nel.
She said the girl can use a shorter
name after she gets older if she pre
fers.
“I won’t make her keep it,” she
said.
Williams said she decided to give
the baby the unique name “so I could
beat the record they did have.”
David Boehm, American editor of
the “Guinness Book of World Re
cords,” said the present record
holder has a first name that starts
with the letter S and has 598 other
letters.

HAMPTON, Va. — The Army
proudly demonstrated a prototype 1
model of the Apache anti-tank at
tack helicopter — a new weapons,
systems noted for its maneuverabil
ity, 146-knot speed and quickness —
on Wednesday.
Hughes Helicopters Inc. of Cul
ver City, Calif., is scheduled to build
515 of the anti-tank aircraft that cost
$7.8 million each by 1989.
Fort Rucker, Ala., will receive the
first production model Apaches for
training purposes in November.
Others are scheduled to arrive at
Fort Eustis in early 1985.
The “state-of-the art” Apaches are
praised for their “survivability,
maintainability, and their ability to
fly and fight, day or night or in ad
verse weather,” Bill Cressall, a
Hughes spokesman, told reporters
gathered for a demonstration at the
Army’s training center at Fort Mon
roe.
Special “electrical optical” equip
ment on board enables the pilot and
co-pilot to operate the craft without
having to rely on the limitations of
the naked eye, Cressall said.
The Army said the Apache’s two-

decessor, the Cobra attack
helicopter.
man crew would have a 95 percent
chance of surviving a crash-landing.
The Apache is larger, quicker, qui
eter and more sophisticated than its
predecessor, the Cobra attack heli
copter. But the Army said the
Apache will augment and not re
place the Cobra.
Although the principal mission of
the Apache is the destruction of
tanks, it also is equipped with a
30mm gun and 2.75-inch rockets. It
can travel at a speed of 146 knots
and, as an aerial demonstration re^
vealed, it is capable of aerial maneu- 1
vers airplane pilots would envy.
The Army spent $1.1 billion de
veloping the Apache during a 12-
year research and design phase. Its
design led to one movie and to tele
vision programs such as “Blue
Thunder” and “Airwolf.”
The Apache represents a “technoP r third a S a
logical leap” in military helicopter 11 11 in

Four murder convictions upheld
Ameri<
United Press International
AUSTIN — The Texas Court of
Criminal Appeals upheld the capital
murder convictions of four death
row inmates Wednesday, including a
young man sentenced to die for the
rape and strangulation of a 76-year-
old Amarillo nun.
The high court upheld the mur
der conviction of Johnny Frank Gar
rett, 20, in the Halloween 1981
death of Sister Tadea Benz, who was
raped, stabbed, beaten and stran
gled in her room at St. Francis Con
vent in Amarillo.
Appeals also were rejected for
Darryl Elroy Stewart, convicted of
the 1980 robbery and murder of a
Houston woman; Emmett Murray
Holloway, convicted of the 1977
shooting death of a Longview po
liceman; and Larry Smith, convicted
of the 1978 robbery and shooting
death of a Dallas convenience store
clerk.
Benz’s body was found in her con
vent room by her fellow nuns, who
initially believed no foul play was in
volved but later called police after
discovering signs of a break-in at the
convent.
Authorities found at the convent
two knives bearing Garrett’s fmger-
E rints, which also were found on the
eadhoard and dresser in Benz’s
room.
Garrett testified at his trial he en
tered the convent two days before
Benz was killed in search of a valu
able cross to steal. He said he left his
fingerprints in the room when he
used a knife to open a stuck dresser
drawer and touched the headboard
when removing a cross from the wall
above the bed.
The Court of Criminal Appeals
dismissed all Garrett’s grounds of
appeal.
Stewart, 29, was convicted of
shooting Donna Kate Thomas twice
in the head when she refused to en
gage in sexual intercourse with him_
after he entered her apartment t®
rob it. The woman’s 3-year-old
daughter was a witness to the mur
der.
Judges Sam Houston Clinton
Marvin Teague and Chuck Milt 1
dissented from the majority court
ruling in Stewart’s case, saying tin
jury did not consider ample “mil'
igating circumstances” in assessing
the death penally against Stewart.
Holloway, 30, presented
grounds of error — all overruled^
in an attempt to overturn his capital
murder conviction in the deatn of
Longview police officer Marshall
Jefferson Sowders Jr., who was shot
five times following a robbery b)
Holloway and a companion.
Judge Clinton dissented in tbt
Holloway ruling on grounds the trial
judge improperly excluded ajuror.
Smith, 29, was convicted of shoot
ing convenience store clerk Milt
Mason, 26, in the heart during a rob
bery of the Dallas store.
