Trial opens for Oklahoma I a wine
Prosecutors accuse sheriff, officer of scheming to torture suspe
H
SHERMAN (AP) — The trial for two southern
Oklahoma lawmen accused in an alleged scheme
to kidnap and torture a suspected drug dealer is
scheduled to begin Tuesday in federal court.
Prosecutors believe the trial will take'one week
but defense attorneys say they expect the trial to
last two weeks.
A grand jury indicted Love County Sheriff
Wesley Liddell Jr. and his son-in-law. Marietta
police officer Roger Ray Hilton, on June 1. They
are accused of conspiracy to kidnap and inter
state travel to commit a crime of violence.
The men were freed on bond after spending
almost a month in jail following their arrest in
May.
The FBI alleged the men planned to use a
heated curling iron to get information from a
man about drug labs operating in southern Okla
homa and north Texas. The plan was not carried
out.
The FBI said it used another Marietta officer
to obtain nine hours of taped conversations
about the alleged plot.
Residents of the community were outraged by
the arrests. They rallied together and raised
money to pay the men’s attorneys. Last week,
supporters held a $50-a-plate fund-raising din
ner in Ardmore, OK.
Defense attorneys say there’s more to this case
than a scheme allegedly hatched by two lawmen.
“I think when this case is over, you will be dis
appointed in our federal agents,” said state Sen.
Darryl Roberts, D-Ardmore, an attorney for the
men. “I feel good about the preparations of the
case. I have confidence in the case.”
One of the key issues during the case wl
the accuracy of transcripts of the taped cornea
tions, Roberts said.
“For instance, when they say ‘1 don’t know
guy,’ it says “I know that guy’ — that is a lo
difference,” Roberts said.
U.S. District Judge Paul Brown ruled thatt
time the jury requests a transcript, itwouldb
one made by both sides.
The trial is scheduled to begin at9a.m.i«

Liddell and Hilton were taken to Sherman
lowing their arrest because it was the closest
eral magistrate, the FBI said.
Mattox refutes criticism of being insensitive
TYLER (AP) — Attorney General
Jim Mattox, reacting to criticism that
he didn’t respond personally to the
school bus crash that killed 21 stu
dents last month, said local authori
ties didn’t invite him to the scene.
Mattox went to the Lower Rio
Grande Valley in April when U.S.
and Mexican authorities discovered
a drug cult’s mass grave that con
tained more than a dozen bodies, in
cluding that of Texas college student
Mark Kilroy. The grave was found
outside Matamoros, Mexico, across
the border from Brownsville.
An Alton woman says officials
have reacted less strongly to the bus
accident than to Kilroy’s death.
Olga Hernandez says she has col
lected 5,000 signatures on petitions
calling for stricter regulation of
open caliche pits like the one in
which the Alton school bus plunged
Sept. 21.
“They (the school bus passengers)
were all Mexican-American chil
dren,” Hernandez said, according to
a Valley Morning Star report last
week.
When Kilroy was found dead, “we
had (Gov. Bill) Clements and every
body out there so concerned, the
president of the United States and
the whole world,” Hernandez said.
“And this was 21 (people killed) and
we haven’t heard from any of them.”
Most of the victims in the Mat
amoros ritual slayings were Mexi
cans or Mexican-Americans.
At a Tyler fund-raiser Sunday,
Mattox said he was asked by sheriffs
and Kilroy’s family to come to
Brownsville after the cult victims’
bodies were discovered. He said he
didn’t go to nearby Alton after the
bus tragedy because it was not a
criminal matter.

“Had I gone down there to help

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A worker atop a 12-story
medical building fell Monday and struck a patient on a
second-story atrium balcony before landing in a coffee
shop below, officials said.

p.m., police Sgt. Pat Kilough said.
Livingston and the other worker had just finished re
pairing an electric sign.
“The next thing that the other electrician finds is the
rope is flying by him and this guy (Livingston) is going
through the skylight below,” Kilough said.
As he fell though the steel-rimmed skylight, Liv
ingston began tumbling and struck a patient who was
waiting at a second-story balcony for X-rays, witnesses
said. The electrician then fell two more storie
