But William F. Smith’s attorney said he opposed such a swift parole because a longer stint in prison may result in getting the conviction off his client’s record. Smith, 49, was sentenced to the Texas Department of Corrections after pleading no contest to 27 charges of felony theft and one charge of misdemeanor theft from the hospital estate to take pleasure trips. It is the harshest sentence given to anyone convicted in the scandal so far. Although it has not been deter mined exactly how much Smith took from the estate, pending civil law suits are seeking more than $1 mil lion from him. Barbara Slaughter, public affairs office for the Texas Board of Par dons and Paroles said his release from prison is likely to occur be tween December and March. Ross Rommel, Smith’s attorney, has written to the board recom mending his client be kept in prison. State District Judge Miron Love, who sentenced Smith, has set a Nov. 10 hearing to consider shock proba tion, designed to give offenders a taste of prison life, Rommel said. Such probation is given when a judge finds a first-time felony of fender has been shocked into good behavior by a stay of two to six months in prison. If Smith is paroled, he will be inel igible for shock probation. Under state law, if he successfully serves out such a probationary term, his charges will be dismissed. If he is pa roled, he will be an ex-convict. ‘FATAL ATTRACTION n ‘STAKEOUT r MS ‘THE PtCK-UP ARTIST pg-is SCHULMAN 6 v 2002 E. 29th 775-2463 1 BACK TO THE BEACH pg 4$ 1 TEBHUHAL EHTBY r $ DOLLAR DAYS $ REVEIGE OF THE NERDS II pg-i 3 ‘UNTOUCHABLES r DRABBET pg-1 3 M Li?^ !_ Police say ‘Rambo’ shootist, Missouri killings may be tied CORSICANA (AP) — A man with a passion for guns who killed three people, including his estranged wife, before committing suicide may be linked to three recent killings in Mis souri, police said Wednesday. Howard Franklin Stewart, called “Rambo” by his neighbors, told ac quaintances earlier this week he had killed three people there, according to detectives. Investigators from Missouri ar rived Wednesday to pursue possible links between the killings here Tues day and three execution-style slay ings in southern Missouri last week. “It’s a good possibility this is the guy we’re looking for,” Dallas County (Mo.) Sheriff Jerry Cox said. “When we heard who he was and he had been to Lebanon (Mo.) and the same weapon was used, we decided to come down.” Investigators have learned that Stewart spent part of his youth in the Lebanon area and may have known the victims killed last week, but Cox refused to say what link there may be between the two incidents. Corsicana Police Chief J.J. Ryz- man noted that Stewart had told ac quaintances earlier that he had killed three people in Missouri. “Running things back to the town where his parents live in Missouri, we found out they did have three murders last week which are un solved,” Ryzman said. “We feel that there could be a connection.” Stewart, 37, had left Corsicana to visit his parents in Missouri earlier this month and had returned Friday, police said. Laclede County (Mo.) Sheriff Lawrence Rifenburg, Cox and two Missouri state investigators consul ted with local police about the slay ings of Steve Vestal, 38, of Conway, Mo.; and George Brewer, 43, and his wife, Carol, 36, who both lived in nearby Niangua. All were shot to death with a .22-caliber gun. Cox and one investigator traveled to Dallas where forensic experts were examining the bodies of the Corsicana victims, Ryzman said. Au topsy results have not yet been com pleted, however. Rifenburg and Cox were expected to compare evidence from the Mis souri and Texas slayings, such as bal listics reports and details from wit nesses. In a half-hour, cross-town shoot ing spree Tuesday, Stewart shot and "sd M ~ ~ James Wade, at Wade’s office, then went to the mobile home of his es tranged wife, Brenda Stewart, and killed her and Edward L. Persons Jr., of Jonesboro, La., police said. Mark Johnstone said Stewart, who 1c recently lost his job and was afraid of losing his wife, talked of his plans to kill his wife over coffee Monday. “He said he was going to do what he did today,” Johnstone said Tues day. “I’m divorced and I’ve said things I didn’t do. He said if he couldn’t have her, nobody could have her. I told him you just don’t kill people. “He was crazy as a bedbug. I wish I had taken him more serious.” killed his former employer, Dennis The path of violence began some time before 1:40 p.m. Tuesday, when Stewart shot his two pit bull terriers and left them in his van on a hillside near Lake Halbert just south of this city of 23,000, about 50 miles southeast of Dallas. Also found in the abandoned van were a litter of six puppies, two Clay more anti-personnel mines and a poster of the “Grim Reaper” plas tered on the dashboard.
