Davis contradicted McCrory's
story several times, saying he
avoided his one-time pod-
shooting crony at every op-
portunity and refused to return
even his telephone messages.
He said McCrory visited his

last year to ask for a job. Davis
said he refused the request and
did not see or talk with him
again until May.
When McCrary obtained his
unlisted home phone numbers,
he said. he told his girlfriend to
change the numbers.
