Arelene Shaioni Prince, 20, and 21-year-old Marla Duran were arrested and charged Tuesday with the murder of Latina Tasha Holmes. The dancer was found strangled in her apartment at 9:10 p.m. Saturday. Holmes’ mother, Dianne Anderson, said Prince called her on Sunday to tell her that her daughter was dead. “It was such a slap in the face,” Anderson told the £7 Paso Times in Wednesday’s editions. “They (Prince and Duran) went around saying that the three of them were like the ‘Three Musketeers.’ But they used my scarf to kill my daughter.” Prince and Duran, booked into the El Paso County Jail on $250,000 bond each on murder charges, confessed Tuesday to the weekend killing.

Texas (AP) — Gi ant defense contractor Lockheed Mar tin is putting pressure on machinists in the third day of their strike with an weekend ultimatum to approve the company’s last contract offer. Meanwhile, members of Local 776 of the International Association of Ma chinists (IAM) spent part of Tuesday, night avoiding thundershowers as they continued picketing in front of the plant that features a mile-long assembly line. With machinists walking picket lines outside. Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Co. was try ing to resume some product tion work with salaried, non-striking workers. Executives boasted of expect ing to deliver fighter jets on time thy month, despite the walkout by nearly 2,500 hourly w age-earning machinists. Company executives, in a letter to the plant's 10,500 workers, said it has imposed a midnight Sunday deadline for approval of the same contract of fer rejected earlier by IAM membciis. “I encourage employees represented by the IAM to review the offer," wrote Dain Hancock, president of the Fort Worth, Texas-based division that oper ates the plant. “If you come to the con clusion that the terms are fair, you should convey this to the union leaders who represent you.” But Local 776 members contend the last offer is inferior to one approved in August in Seattle by machinists for Boeing, Lockheed Martin’s rival as prime tactical fighter contractor. “If Mr. Hancock wants to commu nicate with the membership, he should do it through the union leadership,” Lane told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in an interview. “Sending a letter di rectly to the members is not conducive to good labor relations.” A state district judge on Tuesday re fused Lockheed’s request for a re straining order to limit pickets during shift changes at the plant, when pickets at 10 gates back up traffic and delay non-striking w-orkers from getting in and out of the plant. Union members want stronger pro visions for job security in a new con tract, along with cost-of-living adjust ments and equality with plants doing the same work. No violence or disruptions on pick et lines at the 59-year-old plant have been reported. But White Settlement police said nails were found Tuesday scattered in Spur 341, the main road into the plant. Police Chief David Place said the nails may have spilled accidentally. of sexual DALLAS (AP)-Two:f police officers face cf charges that they beatsY ually tortured a IS-yeaw in their care. Lt.
