Juror's injury postpones 'Animal' trial BELTON (AP) — The capital murder trial of Jerry “Animal” Mc- Fadden was postponed for a week on Monday after a juror was injured by a rooster. The delay was granted by District Judge F.L. “Liny” Oarrison, who said juror Johnny Herring, 41, was injured when a rooster attacked him and left two deep wounds in his leg. Herring, an electrical inspector with (he city of Temple, should re cover by next week. Garrison said. Garrison said he did not know how Herring was attacked. News re porters were unable to contact Her ring because of a gag order issued that prohibits people involved in the trial from talking to the news media. McFadden, 39, is accused in the May 198(> slaying of Suzanne Harri son, 18, a Hawkins High School cheerleader. The trial was moved to Belton on a change of venue from Upshur County. Garrison said he learned of Her ring’s injury about noon Monday and had three options. The lirst was to dismiss Herring and replace him with the alternate juror selected last week. However, Garrison said that would not have left an alternate should another ju ror be unable to continue with the trial. That could have resulted in a mistrial, he said. The second option was to dismiss Herring permanently and call in 10 prospective jurors and seat another juror on the panel. But Garrison said that would take time and money. Lite third option was to postpone the trial. Garrison said he decided to do that after discussion with defense attorney Vernard Solomon and spe cial prosecutor Stephen Tokoly. Garrison said,“I have spoken to Mr. Herring’s doctor and he assures me that Mr. Herring will be well enough by next Monday to proceed with the trial. Lite judge said the doctor told him that Herring’s wounds were badly infected and that Herring was not iti any shape to sit on a jury panel this week. avis denies feeling ‘blind rage’in ’76 n day gunman shot four at mansion 'small Bifl , I tad r«'«| (plant MjiI iill'ered I'l >rm nl (if c of live J ;ans dnrt| nes Wilde shot to do lielptwnw I cat iver was« i 47-yen i went M two otlw ich retold icials said ■cipients (table cond tnsp lone d, I gw nent,” LJ lo sity»«!; ild well 1*1 I FORT WORTH (AP) —- Millionaire cle- [endant Cullen Davis insisted in a farewell court appearance Monday be was not in a “blind rage” When a gunman dressed in black shot lour per sons, killing two, in his hilltop mansion. | He denied repeatedly that anything occurred ■hat sultry summer day in 1976 to induce what a lisychologisl described as a behavorial pattern of ■ reduced judgment” brought on by stressful sit- Biations. An expert witness in the multimillion-dollar rongful death trial suggested that the mansion intruder acted in a blind and explosive rage hen he killed the def endant’s 12-year-old step daughter almost 1 1 years ago. Davis’ ex-wife Priscilla anti a young mansion visitor, Bubba Gavrel, were wounded and Priscil las hoy friend, Stan Farr, 30, was killed. The platinum-blonde socialite, 45, and her econd husband. Jack Wilborn, 66, are suing Da vis in a pair of consolidated suits naming Davis as Bhe gunman dressed in black and wearing a ■rude black wig. An Amarillo jury acquitted Davis in the child’s death in 1977, but that criminal verdict is not le gally significant in the current civil suits, i; Davis, 53, appearing for the fifth time in six days, left the witness stand before noon Monday alter both friendly and hostile questioning about his activities and his state of mind on Aug. 2, 1976. “Was there anything about ‘The Bad News Bears’ that caused you to go into an explosive blind rage?” his lawyer, Steve Sumner, asked, referring to the movie Davis said he attended alone the night of the shootings. “No, there was not,” Davis said. In response to a series of questions about his financial affairs at the time, including a high- stakes divorce suit with Priscilla, Davis declared, “Nothing 1 did that day put me in a stress situa tion . . . that reduced my judgment in any way.” In a decision made public Moiiday, the U.S. Lax Court ruled non-taxabie the division of community property when the Davises’ “ill-fated and tempestuous marriage” was dissolved in 1979. On cross-examination in the wrongful death case, Davis admitted but later denied he was in a rage the night in 1971 he broke his adopted daughter Dee’s nose and killed his stepdaugh ter’s kitten. “All right,” he conceded at one point during fierce questioning by one of Priscilla’s attorneys, “I went into a blind rage.” But, moments later, Davis interrupted the questioning and amended his answer. “I would not characterize myself as going into a blind rage,” he said. “Lm going to say I didn’t go into a blind rage .... 1 was in control but I was ext remely mad.” “Does that excuse what you did?” “No. 1 never tried to excuse it,” Davis said. In another area, Davis said he settled his suit with Bubba Gavrel out of court last year because it would have cost him twice as much to go to trial for three months. “It was just a matter of economics,” he said, in dicating that his decision did not imply guilt. Gavrel, now 33, was partially paralyzed by a bullet that remains lodged near his spine. A judge ordered the records of the Gavrel set tlement sealed, but published reports put the figure at $1 million in land, cash and deferred payments. Davis also was asked about his coversation with a police officer the morning after the shoot ings in which he was asked why two people had to die at the mansion. “There are some things a person doesn’t need a reason for,” Davis was quoted as saying at the time. He said Monday he thought it was a “rhetori cal question” and that his response should not be construed as an admission or a conf ession. Davis insists he was in bed with his girlfriend, Karen Master, when the shootings occurred. Karen, now 38 and the defendant’s third wife, said she awakened at 12:40 that night and Davis was in bed beside her. ’ counitnl t Spaldifl of bliKid uld lac. ■ upsidcd ■ of Liil)«| things* i pupil i thesaiiiff lit to*' id ion ^ He fail cl theapif ii it’ )vef lllicil W ;1 Sonny ' t T ciioii in llarMj r provisi'l g meinte to citiW'l al init'i< v along ll 1 ! pecittl in 1 roups at eston’sli the M Tandy Corporation/Radio Shack Is Pleaseed to Announce an Aggreement with Texas A&M Extending to Faculty, Staff and Students a 20% DISCOUNT On Any Tandy Computer and Any Software, Ac cessory or Peripheral Purchased with the Com puter.
