United Press International
rRALEIGH, N.C. — Margie
Velma Barfield, scheduled to die
FHday in the nation’s first execution
of a woman in 22 years, lost a bid for
anew trial Tuesday, placing her fate
in the hands of the state Supreme
urt.
Robeson County Superior Judge
aig Ellis denied Barfield’s motion
for a new trial at a 20-minute hear-
gin Lumberton.
The State Supreme Court was ex
acted to rule on a speedy appeal of
llis’ ruling, as well as a separate re-
uest that the execution, scheduled
for 2 a.m. Friday, be stayed.
1 Barfield, whose case has been to
the U.S. Supreme Court three times,
has chosen to die by lethal injection.
Attorneys for the 52-year-old
grandmother argued Barfield was
not competent to stand trial for the
murder of her fiance in 1978 be
cause of her addiction to Valium and
other drugs.
The victim, St. Pauls farmer
Stuart Taylor, died after his beer
and ice tea was laced with rat and ant
poison. Barfield also has confessed
to poisoning her mother and two
Lumberton residents whom she
cared for as a private nurse.
Barfield’s attorneys said her with
drawal from the drugs caused her to
suffer from “bizarre and disabling
psychological disorders” that pre
vented her from consulting with her
attorney before her trial.
Dick Burr, one of Barfield’s attor
neys, said the medical community
did not fully understand the effects
of taking Valium at the time of the
trial.
District Attorney Joe Freeman
Britt called the argument “weak and
feeble.”
In Raleigh, a group opposed to
the death penalty announced plans
to hold vigils and demonstrations to
protest the execution.
The last woman executed in the
United States was Elizabeth Ann
Duncan, who was executed in Cali
fornia in 1962.

■WASHINGTON — President
Reagan declared San Patricio
County a disaster area Tuesday, al
lowing the flood-stricken South
Texas area to apply for federal
ds to help recovery.
■Gale force winds and more than
20 inches of rain in a five-hour pe
riod struck San Patricio County Oct.
19-20, causing flooding that forced
the evacuation of about 750 families.
There were, however, no reports of
deaths or injuries related to the se
vere weather.
The president’s declaration
means the county can apply to the
Federal Emergency Management
Agency for low-interest loans, tem
porary housing, grants, disaster un
employment assistance and other
forms of aid.
Joan Hodgins of FEMA’s regional
office in Seattle was selected to direct
federal recovery efforts in the
county. She said one or more appli-

VOTE FOR
NEELEY LEWIS
For State Representative
REPUBLICAN STUDENTS SPEAK OUT
Fellow Republican Aggies:
Here at Texas A&M University many of us are Republicans. We strongly
support President Reagan, Phil Gramm, as well as other Republican
candidates; however some of us feel support of a candidate should not
be based on party affiliation alone. It is for this reason that we looked at
the individual candidates and their qualifications and have chosen to
support Neeley Lewis for State Representative.
Often times voters are tempted to cast their ballots strictly on party
affiliation. This does not always elect the best candidate. If students
want the best representation possible in the Texas Legislature, they
should cast their vote for Neeley Lewis on November 6th. Common
sense dictates that a tight-fisted Texas CONSERVATIVE Democrat like
Neeley Lewis will best serve this district. Neeley Lewis has worked with
Aggies, Republican and Democrat alike, and has effectively fought for
us in the Texas House. He therefore deserves the support of
Republicans as well as Democrats. We urge you to support Neeley
Lewis on November 6th.
Republican Aggies for Lewis,
