DAYTON, Texas — Investigators
have been asked to reopen an inves
tigation into the beating of a 67-
year-old widow almost 18 months
ago, a prosecutor says.
The attack, which took place on
May 7, 1984, left Eathel Laney with a
shattered cheekbone, poor vision in
her left eye and unable to wear den
tures because the inside of her
mouth was badly injured.
She identified two of the assailants
for police and gave them the name
of another, who was a juvenile.
“I saw two of them as plain as 1
can see you,” she said.
Two of the suspects — who are
brothers — were charged with bur
glary of a habitation with intent to
commit injury to an elderly person.
But Liberty County District Attor
ney Mike Little, who asked for the
investigation to be reopened, said
they were released after they passed
lie detector tests “with Hying colors.”

PALESTINE — Fifth-grader
Becky Wilson should have plenty to
tell her classmates next fall about her
summer vacation. She’s going to at
tend next summer’s July Fourth re
dedication ceremony for the newly
restored Statue of Lioerty.
Becky, 11, collected more dona
tions to restore the statue than any
other student in 692 schools in 32
states participating in the Statue of
Liberty Fund, Inc., drive, Elkhart
fund coordinator Anne Griffin said.

She won the free five-day grand
prize trip to New York City after she
raised >925 for the Kansas-based
fund-raising effort. The non-profit
fund has turned over its money to
the national Statue of Liberty-Ellis
Island Foundation, Inc. based in
New York, according to Griffin.
“This was a family effort,” Griffin
said.
In all, along with the $925 Becky
raised, Elkhart students collected a
grand total of $2,788 for the fund.
.During the campaign, one gener
ous donor left three $50 bills in an
envelope on a teacher’s desk. At
tached was a note requesting ano
nymity.
“We still don’t know who left that
donation,” said Griffin.
Although fund raising has slacked
off since May, Becky didn’t find out
she won the grand prize until last
month. She did admit she knew she
was in the running.
When they told Becky she’d won
the trip to New York, she was happy.
“It was exciting, I was really
happy,” she said.
Alter Becky called her mother,
her mother “was on the phone all
day. I didn’t even tell anyone else.
She did all that,” Becky said.
When she arrives in New York for
ihc ceremonies she won'ttu
Becky's parents, two sisunf

chers might go as well.
