I Paul Stedman Cullen, 46, is accused of pouring the jew col herbicide Velpar around the base of the historic Treaty im - §fc)ak, where, according to folklore, Stephen F. Austin re lea: s ig nec j a treaty with the Indians in the 1820s. Stephen F. Austin is generally regarded as the Father did!'LfXexas. ustodia The poisoning was discovered last Memorial Day. - schtft Half G f (Tg QO-foot tree is dead as a result, despite e sickij $100,000 in donations and herculean efforts to save it, don’t: Officials have said. S Attorneys expected the process of choosing 12 jurors quark f rom 55 candidates to be difficult because of extensive pal Mil! publicity surrounding the case. I The attack on the tree shocked city residents and meyai touched people around the world. Many sent get-well nts dor cards to the tree or stopped to write messages and leave 1 do, tt tokens of good will. Workers have severed the most severely affected lissing roots and have injected sugar water in hopes of thin- slor, nt ning the poison. iry will Cullen, of Elroy, is charged with felony criminal mis chief and could be sentenced to life in prison if con victed because he has a prior prison burglary convic tion. He was denied bail and has been in jail awaiting trial for more than 10 months. None of the attorneys on either side of the case would comment on the proceedings Monday, although defense attorneys objected in court to limits State Dis trict Judge Bob Perkins put on their case. Perkins granted prosecution motions requiring de fense attorneys to clear certain information with him before allowing it in the trial, including possible crimi nal records of state witnesses and evidence of Cullen’s good character. “It seems to cast a cloud on anything the defense tries to do, and if that happens, I don’t see how we can get a fair trial at all,” said Richard Jenkins of Dallas, one of Cullen’s attorneys. Attorneys said they expect the trial to last about two weeks. Cullen also could face up to 15 years in prison for federal charges of possession of a firearm by a felon and making a false statement to a firearms dealer. The charges stem from a .22-caliber rifle police say they found in his truck when he was arrested. ling tM a qua!: Jassroo hey : to v: .eytop* want tt aloyfflfj r enoui > It WO^ s e thi»: : n ’t dat islaH ■xecut 11 -, 18,5/I distX \1 n 1 ' 1 ! 1 to b°f » S ,r i he "i jiica - - se# THE BEACHES OF TEXAS SHOULD WE PRESERVE OUR FFIAGILE COAST?
