Davis testifies
he wasn’t killer
in 76 shootings
FORT WORTH (AP) - Million
aire defendant Cullen Davis re
turned to the stand Thursday in a fi
nal attempt to convince a civil jury
he was not the bewigged man in
black who gunned down four people
in a 1976 shooting spree at his Fort
Worth mansion.
“I was nowhere near 4200 Mock
ingbird Lane on August 2, 1976,”
the 53-year-old Davis testified in his
multimillion-dollar wrongful death
trial.
Three survivors have insisted
otherwise.
Attorneys for the defendant’s ex-
wife, Priscilla Davis, are trying to
prove Davis was the gunman wear
ing a woman’s black wig who
wounded Mrs. Davis, killed her
boyfriend, Stan Farr, 30, and her
daughter, Andrea Wilborn, 12.
Gus “Bubba” Gavrel, 33, who was
permanently disabled by the assail
ant’s gunfire, settled a separate per
sonal injury suit with Davis last year.
Mrs. Davis and Andrea’s father,
Jack Wilborn, are suing Davis for
millions of dollars in damages for
the death of Andrea.
Davis, who testified earlier, was
recalled by his attorneys Thursday
to provide jurors an uncluttered ver
sion of his activities the night of the
shootings.
He said he left his office in a com
pany pickup around 8 p.m. that
night 1 1 years ago, ate dinner alone
and then went by himself to a movie,
“The Bad News Bears,” about 9:30.
He maintains he drove the pickup
hack downtown, picked up his Cadil
lac and arrived at his girlfriend’s
home shortly after midnight. He
said he telephoned a friend at 12:15
and was in bed asleep when the killer
invaded the remote hilltop mansion.
There were no witnesses to the
child’s slaying, but police say the sub
sequent shootings occurred between
12:20 a.m. and 12:40 a.m.
Key alibi witness Karen Master
Davis, 38, the defendant’s girlfriend
in 1976 and now his wife, preceded
her husband to the stand and told
the jury she awakened at 12:40 that
night and Davis was in bed beside
her.

The current Mrs. Davis admitted
she had been “confused” several
times when testifying previously
about what Davis did or did not tell
her about his activities the night of
Aug. 2.
But under brutal cross-examina
tion, she stuck to the salient points of
her story and even offered a vague
explanation about why she failed to
tell a Fort Worth grand jury 11 years
ago about the critical 12:40 a.m.
awakening.
It was her alibi testimony that
helped persuade an Amarillo jury in
1977 to acquit Davis of capital mur

Patrolman knew about investigation
before shooting friend, detective soys
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A patrolman
charged in the slaying of a fellow officer knew
two days before the shooting that he and the slain
officer were suspects in a smear letter-writing
campaign, a police detective testified Thursday.
Patrolman Farrell Tucker, 36, is charged with
murder in the Aug. 18, 1986, slaying of his best
friend and fellow officer, Stephen Smith, 31.
Tucker claims he shot Smith five times in self-
defense after Smith threatened him with a pistol.
Prosecution witnesses, however, have testified
that Smith could not have been holding a weapon
on Tucker and actually tried to fend off Tucker’s
attack.
Smith, who was on suspension on brutality
charges, allegedly planned to kill then-Assistant
Police Chief Frank Hoyack, Deputy Police Chief
Robert Heuck and then-Bexar County District
Attorney Sam Millsap.
Smith was suspected of fire-bombing Hoyack’s
and Heuck’s homes and of starting a smear let
ter-writing campaign against Hoyack, calling him
xal child molester.
Detective Alvin C. Brown, who was investigat
ing the origin of the letters, was called to testily
by Tucker’s attorneys, who want to show that
Smith, who was suspected of vigilante acts, was
the aggressor.
Under cross-examination by special prosecu
tor Sid Haile, however, Brown testified that he
spoke with Tucker two days before the fatal
shooting.
“Was Tucker aware he was a suspect in the
writing of the letters?” Harle asked.
“Yes,” Brown said. “Tucker knew he was a sus
pect.
a homosexut
“Tucker told me he had been asked to provide
typewritten samples and he knew that it was part
of the investigation into the writing of the let
ters.”
Brown said he sent Tucker’s handwriting and
typewriting samples, along with copies of the en
velopes in which the letters were sent, to the FBI
Crime Lab in Washington D.C. for analysis.
The samples did not get there until the day of
the shooting. The next day, Aug. 19, Brown

AUSTIN (AP) — A judge called a
defendant a “despicable liar” and
sentenced him to 10 years in prison
after the man fell .$ 140,()()() behind
in restitution payments to 21 Austin
people bilked out of more than
$400,000.
State District Judge Bob Perkins
also fined George D. Stewart $5,000
and told him that he would protest
his parole from prison.
If Stewart did win parole, the
judge said he would see to it that the
Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles
would again order Stewart to begin
repaying his victims.
Stewart, 47, pleaded guilty to ob
taining a secured document by de
ception in 1984 after being charged
with stealing more than $400,000 in
scams involving the sale of comput
ers and sports cars.
Many of his victims, whose losses
ranged from $5,800 to $85,000, be
gan doing business with Stewart in
an attempt to get Datsun 280Z cars
at prices well below retail. While
some people did get inexpensive
cars, many got nothing for their
money.
In July 1984, Perkins placed Stew
art on probation for 10 years, but
the judge deferred adjudication in
die case. That meant that if Stewart
met die terms of probation, no find
ing of guilt would have been entered
by the judge and no conviction
would have appeared on Stewart’s
record.
kins’ court, officers and supervisors
in the Travis County Adult Proba
tion Office testified that Stewart had
paid only $1,237 in restitution and
probation fees. That meant most ol
his victims had received about $29.
A condition of his probation was
that he repay $377,883 of the more
than $400,()()() he was accused of
stealing.
Soon after the sentencing, Stewart
moved from Austin to Georgia. Af
ter he moved, he stopped paying the
$1,500 monthly restitution pay
ments. A motion to revoke his pro
bation was filed and a warrant was is
sued for his arrest.
Stewart was arrested this year in
Virginia and brought hack to Austin.
At a hearing Wednesday in Per-
Stewart said he had to leave Aus
tin because a newspaper story about
his guilty [ilea and (he scams made il
impossible for him to find a job.
The judge asked Stewart what he
had done with all die money he had
stolen, and Stewart said he had in
vested some of it and had returned
some of it to the victims.
Stewart said he had gotten mar
ried and was moving back to Austin
where he hoped to find work and
start paying the restitution.
Perkins said, “You’ll understand
why I find that hard to believe.”
Stewart slat ted to continue his ex
planation when the judge inter
rupted. “You’re a despicable liar,”
Perkins said. “You may step down.
Go ahead. Step down right now.”
