Madisoi files complaint against prison AUSTIN (AP) — Paul Stedman Cullen, sentenced to nine years in jail for poisoning the historic Treaty Oak, has filed a complaint in federal court that contends jailers illegally confiscated several of his books. Cullen, 46, who is being held in the Hays County Jail, said that ear lier this month prisoners were or dered into a recreational yard while guards gathered up all the inmates’ books in their cells. Cullen’s complaint, filed Wednes day, said: “My personal books, ‘Coming of Age in the Milky Way,’ ‘Great Religions of Mankind,’ and a book on modern quantum theory (ti tle unknown) were illegally confis cated. No receipt was given, and their whereabouts are unknown.” Cullen said he had also ordered books, including a textbook on Latin, that haven’t been delivered to him. That wash Y a r/oae. Officers re-examine drowning DALLAS (AP) — Medical examiner’s officers Wednesday were re-examining initial findings that a 4- year-old girl was abducted, killed and placed in a swim ming pool. Newer evidence suggests that Sharie Chalmers may have drowned accidentally and the Dallas County medi cal examiner’s office was reviewing it. diey came up with new information that we willhaveto came up review,” said Lene. “They will look through these items igh tr and evaluate them for any reason to offer a different opinion Deputy Chief Ray Hawkins said marks found on the girl’s face and neck may have come from attempts tore- ol. Patho- Homicide detectives on Tuesday asked medical ex aminer’s officers to reconsider findings that the girl was killed before being dumped in the pool outside her apartment in Dallas’ Oak Cliff section Monday morn ing. “There’s no change yet,” Bill Lene, chief field agent for the medical examiner’s office, said late Wednesday. “I don’t expect anything on a change or verification. That was our initial finding at the time of the examina tion.” He said his office has issued a pending death certifi cate, which he called a “not uncommon” situation. “As the Dallas police continued their investigation, vive Sharie after she was pulled from the pool logists interpreted the marks as signs of strangulation. “We continue to investigate this case as though ii were a confirmed murder,” said Hawkins, head of the department’s violent crimes division. “But there are very experienced detectives assigned to this case who have raised some questions whether this was a murder or an accidental drowning.” The girl’s mother found her body in the deep end of the apartment complex’s swimming pool. But two cl dren said they had seen the girl being driven awayina “shiny black car” Sunday evening. A massive search for Sharie followed. Several people told police they looked into the pool during the evening and early Monday before the body was discovered. We’re a Tradition.
