HUNTSVILLE (AP) — A former
jield worker was executed last
Iht for fatally shooting a sher-
Ifs deputy who had been sum-
ned to quell a family argument
ears ago.
Ivin Wayne Crane was pro-
nced dead at 6:23 p.m., nine
nutes after the flow of lethal
;s began.
rane, 41, gave a lengthy state-
t in which he expressed love for
family and apologized profusely.
I have caused you a lot of pain
suffering,” he said. “I hope you
some peace and comfort in
If you have any anger, I hope
let it go. I’m sorry for causing
rybody so much trouble.”
the drugs began taking ef-
|t, several of Crane’s family
mbers sobbed as they watched
|ough a window. He smiled, nod-
1 to them and said, “Every-
ig’s going to be just fine. I love
lall,”
fThe needle inserted in Crane’s
tit arm was a few inches above
^ttoo of a skull. Once the drugs
;an taking effect, he turned pur
ple. He let out a long gasp, then
two short gasps before slipping into
unconsciousness.
Crane was the 26th con
demned inmate executed in Texas
this year and the first of four like
ly to receive lethal injection over
the next two and a half weeks.
Another execution is set for to
morrow evening.
“I don't think you
totally ever recover.
We still continue
with our grieving."
— Lisa Drum
Victim’s daughter-in-law
Crane, already on probation for
assaulting a school bus driver in
Oklahoma, was convicted of
killing Ochiltree County Chief
Deputy Melvin Drum with a sin
gle shotgun blast to the face the af
ternoon of March 28, 1987, in Per-
ryton, in the northernmost reach
es of the Texas Panhandle.
“I’m just relieved it’s over,”
Lisa Drum, the deputy’s daughter-
in-law, said after watching the ex
ecution. “I don’t think you totally
recover. We’ll still continue with
our grieving.”
Sheriff Joe Hataway said Drum’s
murder cost him not only a deputy
but a friend.
“We all know family distur
bances are one of the most danger
ous calls to make and that’s what
this was,” Hataway said. “This was
a family feud. There were super-hot
feelings, and when Deputy Drum
drove up, the hatred was vented to
ward the deputy. ”
County Attorney Bruce Rober
son, who prosecuted Crane, the
county’s only condemned in
mate, also remembered Melvin
Drum fondly.
“Melvin was more than a good
friend,” Roberson said. “He was
one of those few people that really
this entire community felt they
could trust and rely on.”

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A statewide television net-
}rk accused of falsely using the Texas Department
[Public Safety’s name to elicit information from reg-
;red sex offenders could face federal mail fraud and
ter charges, the DPS said yesterday,
jlhe San Antonio Express-News reported yester-
ythe News of Texas, a San Antonio-based TV
[iwork with 26 affiliates around the state, sent out
msands of postcards last week asking offenders
[confirm their addresses.
The network hoped to reveal that many of the
tie’s 18,000 registered sex offenders have given
Ithorities fake or outdated addresses.
OPS spokesperson Tela Mange said the postcards
|ere deceptive because they bore no mark showing
teywere from a news organization and used the
\ency’s name in the renim address.
The news agency faces possible federal charges, in
cluding mail fraud, impersonating a government offi
cial and tampering with government records. Mange
said. FBI agents directed calls to the U.S. postal in
spector for San Antonio, who did not return calls to
the Associated Press.
But a spokesperson for San Antonio’s federal pros
ecutor said the case would be considered if the postal
inspector found any wrongdoing.
“If the postal inspector determined there is a vio
lation of federal law, than they would bring it to our
attention and we would certainly consider it,” Daryl
Fields, spokesperson for U.S. Attorney Bill Blagg, said.
The network’s president. Bob Rogers, said reporter
Brian Collister, who used “Texas Department of Pub
lic Safety” in the postcards’ return address without his
editors’ permission, was put on probation.
