THE BATTALION
itate executes second man in two days
Convicted killer of 11 -year-old girl sent to death chamber
HUNTSVILLE (AP) — Mention the name of
mdemned killer Tony Chambers to Smith
junty Assistant District Attorney Ed Marty and
■houghts are with a murdered 11-year-old
H, the skin on her stomach etched more than
times.
p“] think of carving on a little girl’s stomach,”
arty said. "I think of him taking a young girl out
plthe woods, raping her, choking her and then
irving her with a scalpel and a protractor.
(‘'Man, you talk about a dull instrument,” he said
’fine D-shaped tool used by schoolchildren to
mi how to measure angles.
1 C hambers, 32, was set to die Wednesday evening
Hie abduction and murder of Carenthia Marie
iiilcy, who disappeared after attending a middle
Bol basketball game 10 years ago in Tyler.
■is lethal injection, the second in as many
ays. would be the 37th this year in Texas, equal
ing the record number of executions carried out
by the state in 1997. Another execution was set
for tonight.
Chambers, born in Pageland County, S.C., had
no prior prison record but testimony at his trial
showed a history of arrests for public intoxication,
burglary and assault. His former girlfriend testified
that after they broke up, he threw rocks at her
house, ripped out the phone lines and tossed a
Molotov cocktail through a window.
He declined to be interviewed by reporters in
the weeks leading up to his execution.
Chambers was seen leaving the basketball
game with the girl Nov. 19, 1990. Her body was
found two days later in a wooded area near Tyler’s
Dogan Middle School.
Besides the stomach wounds,, she had been
raped and strangled.
“I didn’t mean to hurt her,” he told officers
when police informed him the girl’s body had been
discovered.
Chambers became a suspect after two of the
people who saw him leaving the game with the
girl confronted him when she failed to return
home. He responded with a vulgarity about her
and fled, then called police to tell them the wit
nesses were trying to harm him.
“He made some remark that he was being chased
by her cousins,” Marty said. “He eventually con
fessed to police. ... He gave six different confes
sions, including insisting on taking police officers
to the scene to hunt for the scalpel and protractor.”
In his confessions, he said he raped the girl, tied
her to a tree with her shoelaces, then choked her
for about three minutes before untying her and then
carving her stomach. Authorities said his descrip
tion of the carvings contained details only the killer
would know.
Six Houston counties
try to bypass smog plan
HOUSTON (AP) — Six of the
seven suburban counties ringing
Houston have banded together in
opposition to the state’s sweeping
smog reductions around the na
tion’s reigning smog capital and
plan to appeal to federal officials
to be excluded from the plan.
Officials from Fort Bend,
Waller, Liberty and Chambers
counties have agreed to join Bra
zoria and Montgomery counties to
resist the state’s plan to place their
areas under the same environmen
tal restrictions proposed for Hous
ton and Harris County, the Hous
ton Chronicle reported Wednesday.
Houston replaced Los Angeles
last year as the city reporting the
most days in violation of federal
smog standards, a notoriety that
became campaign fodder used
against Gov. George W. Bush, the
Republican presidential nominee.
After returning the ozone title ear
lier this year to Los Angeles,
Houston reclaimed it in September
by exceeding national smog stan
dards for a 37th day.
The state’s plan is designed to
comply with the federal Clean Air
Act and bring levels of ground-
level ozone, a respiratory irritant,
below the national health standard
by 2007 in Harris, Brazoria,
Galveston, Fort Bend, Mont
gomery, Chambers, Liberty and
Waller counties.
