FORT WORTH (AP) — The 18-year-old nother of a 4-year-old girl who was fatally tabbed has confessed to the attack and has leen arrested on a capital murder charge, shift- ng the focus of the investigation from her other, police say. Amy Ivy was being held Sunday in Tarrant ounty Jail in lieu of $300,000 bail. Investigators aid they don’t have a motive in the stabbings. Shauntraniece Ivy’s throat was slit and she stabbed in the back several times while she pt early Monday morning in the home she hared with her mother, grandmother and oth er family, police said. The grandmother, 38-year-old Jessie May vy, was also stabbed in the attack. She spent unday in a Fort Worth hospital recovering om surgery for stab wounds to her head, neck nd upper chest. <y Ray is a seniorsftn :ommunicationsm Another optionSfui i unseling Services vc ■ is their Love andl ance 101 worksho] rring during their 1 MHl OuttaofSr ry” Oct. 6 at tlreMSC “The many actin sociated with sell n add a burden to ionship or conclir one,” Williams said l leartbreak can icple down in anyw t of ways, and stui th the weight of s< eir shoulders car ought down.

S The Battalion TATE The younger Ms. Ivy, whose name is spelled Ivey in some documents, was arrested Friday night after questioning by homicide detectives, who said they had learned new information from her mother. Homicide Sgt. Paul Kratz said Amy admitted that she, not her mother, killed the girl. Amy Ivy’s “statements alludes to her wanting to spare her child the life (she) had led,” Kratz said. “It’s very hard to come up with an explana tion for something that defies regular thoughts. “How in the world do you come up with the explanation for killing a 4-year-old?.” According to Amy Ivy’s initial story, which police now say is untrue, she awoke around 6:30 a.m. because she heard a commotion, went to her daughter’s room and found her stabbed to death. The teen-ager also said she saw her mother in the bathroom cleaning a bloody knife, which led to a struggle in which she stabbed her mother. Jessie Ivy is unable to speak but has written police notes about the incident. The first note said, “My daughter Amy tried to kill me in sleep,” according to an arrest warrant. The grandmother’s second note recounted how she awoke to someone stabbing her in the neck and then fought with the attacker. The note said Amy Ivy stuck her fingers into the hole in Jessie’s Ivy neck and said, ‘Die, die.” Homicide officials who had put the grand mother under police guard had said last week they were planning to charge her with murder once her condition improved. They had said nothing pointed to anyone other than the grandmother. Amy Ivy also lias a 1-year-old daughter and is pregnant. MSC Barber Shop Serving All Aggies! Cuts and Styles All Corp Cuts $7.

Federal official says traffic deaths preventable DALLAS (AP) — More than 53 percent of all traffic deaths in Texas last year were alcohol-related, well above the national average and more than many states with compa rable populations, statistics show. There were 3,741 traffic deaths in the state in 1996 and 1,991 of them were considered alcohol-related, ac cording to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. “These are incidents which we could do something about,” said Gary Taylor, senior regional program manager for the federal agency. Texas’ 53.2 percent is a 3-per- cent improvement from the previ ous year. However, it is still far worse than the national average of 40.9 percent. “Even though we had a per centage decrease in Texas, we still had more crosses in the cemeter ies,” Taylor said. In raw numbers, Texas had more alcohol-related traffic deaths than other states with large populations. California had 1,606 such deaths, Florida 1,015 and New York 523. Taylor’s agency considers a traffic death as alcohol-related when evidence shows that either a driver or a nonpassenger, such as a pedestrian or cyclist, had a blood alcohol content of 0.01 or greater. A blood alcohol content of 0.10 percent is considered legally intoxicated. Harris County led Texas with 252 such deaths. There were 151 in Dallas County. Tarrant County’s to tal of 78 represents 60.5 percent of its 129 traffic deaths. F.A.C.T.
