Authorities were making arrange ments to take him back to Omaha, Brown said. “If they can’t take him back today, we’ll keep him another night,” Brown said. Hankins was arrested on a felony warrant charging him with the theft of a car belonging to Danae Cook. Amarillo Deputy Police Chief James Skinner said Hankins called the Amarillo police at 12:05 a.m. Sunday from the Union 76 Truck Stop on Interstate 40 in east Am arillo. Hankins was taken into cus tody about 10 minutes later. Earlier, Omaha police had said they had no evidence to link Han kins directly with the deaths. Omaha police learned that Han kins had been staying with Danae Cook for some time and had stopped living with her just before last weekend. Investigators said they did not believe she and Hankins were romantically involved. Mrs. Cook and her son, Kevin, formerly lived in Omaha but had moved to Aurora, Colo. The three murder victims all suf fered fatal head injuries. Police de clined to comment on how the inju ries were inflicted except to say the three died violent deaths. Danae Cook’s 1974 Chevrolet Monte Carlo had been missing since the bodies were found. Hankins’ arrest came after a nearly two-day manhunt for him in New Mexico. State police recovered Cook’s car after a 70-mile chase Fri day in east-central New Mexico. New Mexico authorities said offi cers lost the man when his car be came mired in sand and he fled on foot. ontroversy over state bail law delays Dallas County revenues iay be things;..', y DALLAS (AP) — Hundreds of know aboutbfc- thousands of dollars in payments to i way to measiiii''|,:Dallas County have been delayed by a new state law affecting the respon- e also maybek| pibility bail bondsmen have for cli- >n of stress fracs j ents who don’t show up for trials, lightower saii v |i, b a j| bondsmen have flooded lensity statisticr judges with requests for jury trials in I routine bond forfeiture cases be- *ollman, a L#'I cause of the new law, and the contro- n Dallas, saidfc'W lies in the appb ', e to all animals; versy will probably be settled in court.

As founder and director of the home, she received room and board but too’ no salary. All donations, in cluding a $60,000 bequest from a benefactor two years ago, went to the foundation for care of the chil dren. She has no pension or medical in surance and has not yet qualified for Social Security. After a heart attack three years ago, her insurance com pany discontinued her coverage. The board of the Thelma Boston Foundation, which now operates the foster home, is helping pay the bal ance of her medical bills and will pay her $50 a month as a consultant. But the prospect of paying utility bills on her own this winter is unset tling, at least until her eligibility for Social Security benefits is deter mined, she told theDallas Morning TVewsMonday. But worry fades when conversa tion turns to nurturing more than 200 “children nobody wanted” over the last quarter-century. But two weeks ago, several judges, believing the new law is faulty, began conducting hearings and demand ing payments from bondsmen when clients don’t show up for trial. “You’ve got to pretty much throw a monkey wrench in the system,” said Randy Adler, a Dallas attorney representing several bail-bonding companies. “I don’t think the judges are out to get anybody. It’s just that right now, we don’t know what the rules are.” The controversy stems from a state criminal appeals court ruling two years ago that overturned a key section of the state bail-bond act dealing with the liability of bond smen for clients who are no-shows. Under the nullified section, bond smen were liable for 5 percent of the amount posted to get a person out of jail if they helped bring the de fendant back for trial within two years of the original court date. But Dallas County judges im posed formal guidelines about how much a bondsman should pay the county if a client misses the trial and when the payment was due. Bondsmen who liked the 5 per cent provision pressed for and ulti mately won a new rule, outlined in the law that took effect in June. It forces the county to wait 18 months before seeking payment from a bondsman if his missing cli ent is charged with a felony crime and nine months if the charge is a misdemeanor. The bondsman is liable for noth ing, except expenses, if the bail- jumper is captured within those time frames, regardless of whether the bondsman aided in the apprehen sion.
