New evidence may prevent execution DALLAS (AP) — The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals issued no comment when it recalled its December order that a Tyler judge set an execution date for death row inmate Kerry Max Cook at a hearing this week. The hearing was to have been Wednesday for Cook, 31, sen tenced to clie for the 1977 mutila tion-slaying of a Tyler woman. The appellate court blocked the hearing Monday and postponed it for at least 60 days. A day earlier, the Dallas Morn ing News reported that a 51 -year- old man who had testified at Cook’s trial was a prime suspect. The man died last year in Dallas. The newspaper said new infor mation and a review' of evidence presented at Cook’s 1978 capital murder trial suggested Cook was denied justice. The newspaper also said police misrepresenteci some of the evi dence and that some witnesses re canted or changed earlier testi mony. Cook has always maintained his innocence. His conviction w r as upheld in December by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. Last week, Cook’s attorneys asked the appeals court to let them file an “out of time” motion to postpone the setting of an exe cution date. State law' allows 60 days to file such a request after the Court of Criminal Appeals upholds a conviction. Sponsors led contestants to Miss USA title EL PASO (AP) — The Miss USA contest proved to be a winner for Courtney Gibbs and for Guyrex As sociates, the pageant gurus who have coached the last four Miss Texas- USAs to the national title. “You talk about the proud fa ther,” Rex Holt said of seeing a gath ering of the five Miss LJSAs from Texas his company has sponsored — Kim Tomes, 1977; Laura Martinez- Herring, 1985; Christy Fichtner, 1986; Michelle Royer, 1987; and Gibbs, the 21-year-old Fort Worth native w'ho was crowned here Tues day night. Holt, 47, and his partner, Richard Guy, 49, have sponsored the Miss Texas-USA Pageant since 1975 and the Miss California-USA pageant since 1986. In the six months between the state and national pageants, the El Pasoans keep Miss Texas and Miss California on diets, design their clothes and send them across their states for interviews and appear ances. The six-month ordeal is designed to boost the contestants’ self-confi dence and poise, Guy and Holt say. “We work on their speech and the way they present themselves on cam era or on the radio or anyplace else,” Holt said. Their success seems uncanny. First runner-up in this year’s pag eant was their other protege, 22- year-old Diana Magana of Califor nia. “That w'as really something last night,” Holt said Wednesday morn- ing- “We had the top two girls — in our home city,” Holt commented. During the days leading up to the pageant, all four former Guyrex winners visited El Paso to lend Gibbs their support. Guy referred to Gibbs and the three previous Miss USAs as his “four aces in a deck of cards,” and he called the 1977 winner, Kim Tomes Dutton, his wild card. Guy said he expects the winning streak to continue when Gibbs com petes in the Miss Universe pageant May 23 in Taipei, Taiwan. “Don’t be shocked if she becomes the first Miss Universe from Texas,” he said. Holt seemed unfazed by the four- year winning streak. “I think last year was the most dif ficult year,” he said. “I think this year, people thought it was possible,” Holt said. Gibbs echoed similar sentiments immediately after being crowned. She described how Royer gave her a dictionary with the word “impossi ble” deleted, and said, “of course it was possible.” Dk 3 Apple Computer Seminar JS’k'kC?’ March 8, 1988 Room 102, Conference Room Computer Services Center To Register Call the Information Center 845-9999 Seminar Schedule: 1:00 - 2:00 2:00 - 3:00 3:00 - 4:00 4:00 - 5:00 Apple Unix Presentation David Seda, System Engineer Macintosh Connection to Ethernet - Rick Carmicheal, System Engineer Apple Unix Presentation David Seda, SE Macintosh Connection to Ethernet, Rick Carmicheal, SE OFFER ENDS MARCH 15 CALL NOW!!! 846-0053 HOUR 0 6 ONLY per week ( minimum 6 wk purchase ) INCLUDES: FREE WEIGHTS EXERCISE MACHINES STEAM ROOM SAUNA ROOM WHIRLPOOL TANNING LOCKERS/SHOWERS 7 DAYS WEEKLY CALL 846-GYMS rA , GYMS m m F TEXAS rVERSITY DR.
