What’s Up
arped
kill Kennedy
ARLINGTON (AP) — Bucking the con
ventional wisdom that “lone nut” Lee
Harvey Oswald killed President John F.
Kennedy, Jim Marrs has developed his
own theories.'
Marrs, 44, a former newspaper re
porter, purveys intrigue to a public ob
sessed with the JFK assassination 25
years after it occurred.
His message is that conspirators killed
Kennedy and his medium is a classroom
at the University of Texas at Arlington.
Each year since 1976, Marrs has
taught K Assassination Conspiracy
Revealed ’ a seven-week course offer
ing students a chance to discover the
truth behind the Kennedy killing.
When he began teaching, he said, a
majority of the students believed Oswald
acted alone in assassinating Kennedy on
Nov. 22, 1963.
Now their attitudes are reversed, and
students flock to his class, as one student
said, to find some answers.
“The course is always full, and it’s
most popular,’’ said Earlene Richardson,
an administrative assistant with UTA’s
Continuing Education office, which of
fers the course each spring and fall.
“The class has people who continue to
repeat it,” she said. “I have one lady 1
know who has taken it every time it’s
been offered since I came here 1 and
one-half years ago. ”
Marrs became hooked on the assassi
nation while working as a reporter for the
Fort Worth Star-Telegram from 1968 to
1980. First, he came into contact with re
porters and photographers who covered
the assassination. Later, he began meet
ing witnesses, police and public officials
involved in the case.
“I began to realize that all that could
be said about the assassination had not
been said,” Marrs said. “That’s one of
the reasons I stuck with it. I wanted to
know myself what the heck happened. ”
During a typical session, Marrs runs
past the allotted two-hour period by at
least an hour.
He suspects:
• Oswald’s fingerprints were planted
on the assassin’s rifle after Oswald was
assassinated.
• An impostor’s body buried in Os
wald’s grave was switched with the real
body shortly before investigators dug it
up and re-examined it in 1981.
• Assassination conspirators and
Texas political lords associated with one
another at an illegal gambling den on
Fort Worth’s notorious Jacksboro High
way before the assassination.

Chief justice race even

Associated Press
The race for chief justice of the Texas
Supreme Court was locked in a dead heat
going into Tuesday’s election, according
polls released Monday by the two largest
Texas newspapers.
Republican incumbent Tom Phillips
has the support of 38 percent and Demo
crat Ted Z. Robertson 37 percent with^S
percent unsure, according to the Oct. 31-
Nov. 3 poll of 820 registered Texas vot
ers who said they are likely to vote Tues
day, polls released by the Houston
Chronicle and the Dallas Morning News
say. The margin of enor is plus or minus
4 percentage points.
“This is the kind of race where cam
paigning right down until the end will
make the difference,” Richard Murray,
the University of Houston political scien
tist who directed the survey for the news
papers thi ough the UH Center for Public
Policy, said.
The chief justice race is the most high-
profile of the six Supreme Court races
and has been the focus of millions in
campaign contributions from plaintiffs’
lawyers, doctors and corporate defense
interests.
Phillips, 39, a former Houston state
district judge, was appointed by Republi
can Gov. Bill Clements to fill the unex
pired term of Democratic Chief Justice
John Hill, who resigned.
Robertson, 66, a former Dallas ap
peals court judge, is giving up his place
as an associate justice on the Supreme
Court to run.

crats and three seats already up for elec

Grime lab finally snuffs out
marijuana-munching mice
ANGLETON (AP) — It’s taken pa
tience and ingenuity, but Brazoria
County Crime Lab workers finally have
eliminated the thievery from the county’s
stash of confiscated marijuana.
The mice are gone.
Crime lab Director Michael Manes
says workers decided something had to
be done because the critters became
bolder and bolder as they developed a
love for their newfound food kept in a
vault.
Because the drug had given them a
false sense of security, it got to the point
where the mice simply would sit and
stare at workers when they opened the
darkened vault rather than scurry from
the light, Manes said.
But an attempt to catch the mice with
poisoned food met with little success be
cause they seemed to prefer marijuana
seeds to cheese. The cheese rotted as the
bags of marijuana continued to be
gnawed open.
Slowly, a combination of poi
traps and a sawed-off pool cue ci)ij
mouse population to nearly zero.
Today, rarely a rodent sc® , |
