New suspects
discovered
in ax murder
Associated Press
ARLINGTON — Two new sus
pects were charged with capital mur
der in the pickax slaying of a conve
nience store clerk when police
determined two previous suspects
were implicated falsely by infor
mants trying to protect their rela
tives.
After two teen-agers told the po
lice they saw two men leave the scene
of the murder, authorities arrested
Henry Leon Collins, 33, and Eddie
Earl Brackens, 26.
While these men were released
over the weekend, Kenneth Bernard
Givens, 24, and Ray Anthony Jen
nings, 24, were arrested and
charged, a police spokesman said.
Another spokesman, Jim Willett,
said Collins and Brackens were set
up by the teen-agers, who he said
were trying to throw police off track
in their investigation of 27-year-old
James Dudley’s death.
Dudley was found dead in the
back room of Possum’s Food Store
about 4 a.m. Jan. 4 after his wife
called police. She said he usually got
home b\ 1:30 a.m. and asked them
to look for him at the store. Police
said he was killed during a robbery.
Willett said police discovered Col
lins’ and Brackens’ alibis checked
out, and both passed polygraph
tests.
Collins and Brackens ‘Vere set up
... to protect the true identity of the
persons responsible,” Willett said.
“Sometimes people believe that
criminal investigations can be ma
nipulated, and to some extent, this
one was.”

Texas abortion bill debated
New restrictions sought
Associated Press
AUSTIN — Leaders of Texas
pro-choice groups Tuesday branded
bomb-throwing abortion opponents
as terrorists and said they will work
to defeat a Senate/hill that would
slap rtew restrictions on women seek
ing abortions.
On the 12th anniversary of (he
U.S. Supreme Court decision allow
ing the operations, the pro-abortion
leaders said they are worried by in
creasing violence against abortion
clinics.
“There is no moral ground for
these bullies,” said G.K. Sprinkle,
state president of the National Orga
nization for Women. “We’re not
talking about buildings now, we are
talking about the terrorism and ha
rassment of women.”
Pam Fridrich, executive director
of the Texas Abortion Rights Action
League, criticized those anti-abor
tion leaders who fail to decry vio
lence against clinics.
“The so-called right-to-life groups
defend the current wave of terror
ism against clinics by saying anti
choice terrorists are ‘sensitive’ peo
ple who cannot bear the ‘killing of
innocent babies’,” she said.
“It is the same sensitive souls con
cerned about life who have ...
thrown gasoline in the faces of fam
ily planning clinic personnel, fired
gunshots through the living room
window of a clinic director while hei
children were watching television,
held clinic workers hostage while
their offices were sledgehammered,
and arsoned and bombed 24 offices
and clinics in just the last year," Fri-
dricli said. ^
In a speech on the Senate floor.
Sen. Oscar Mauzy, D-Dallas, also
criticized abortion opponents who
resort to violence.
“For 12 years, the extent of that
right has been tested in our courts
and the Supreme Court holds fast to
the principle that women have the
right and freedom to make a
choice,” Mauzy said.
“Today we repudiate those who,
in their frustration to have the laws
interpreted to reflect their opinions,
have resorted to violence, invasion
of privacy, harassment, destruction
of properiN, intimidation andfflj
threats,” he told senator?.; fo
ironic ih.it those who advocated
right to live risk the livesol othtn,
