On Feb. 6, 1975, Medlock

The appeals court said there
was sufficient evidence to raise
the issue that Mrs. Medlock
may have "acted under the im-
mediate influence of sudden
passion."
Among those killed was Ken Luycoff,
31. a news producer for ABC, who was en

violence there.

Davis agreed to hire McCrory as

Davis is charged with trying
to hire the marders of several
people during the summer of

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP)
— Prosecutors say their latest
rebuttal witness has destroyed

The witness. Gale Helms. 52.

stand today for cross-exam-
ination by defense attorney
Richard "Racehorse" Haynes
Helms testified Wednesday
he was with informant David
McCrory, the state's key wit-
ness. from 5:30 p.m. until dark
on Aug. 11.1978,
That is when Davis said he
was with McCrory at a meeting
which forms the cornerstone of
the entire defense theory. Davis
testified he met with McCrory
that evening to record a staged
conversation designed to head
off a plot against his life.
He said that encounter
formed the basis of another
meeting a week later during
which the two discussed mass
murder.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Carter
administration, sharply increasing its
proposed aid package for the struggling
Chrysler Corp., is about to announce it
will seek $1.5 billion in loan guarantees to
keep the No. 3 automaker afloat, sources
say.
The package, which must be approved
by Congress, is about double what the
administration previously has indicated it
would recommend to keep Chrysler from
bankruptcy
The sources, who requested anony-
mity. said they expected Treasury
Secretary G William Miller to detail the
loan guarantee plan - the largest in U.S.
history • today or tomorrow, after the
administration takes its case to
congressional leaders.
The White House has been under
increasing pressure from some members
Aug. Wand Aug. 20 of 1978 can
all be explained on the basis of
this tape recording session that
you had with David McCrory on
Aug 11 of 19'8 at Coco's
parking lot; is that right?"
"Yes, sir." Davis replied.
Davis later backed away from
that position slightly, saying the
taping was not the "sole basis"
for the later meetings.
But Helms told the court he
met McCrory at least 30 min-
utes before the meeting Davis
recounted, and said they were
constantly together until 8:30 or
9p.m.
Helms said he could be sure
of the tune and date because of
his recent return from a vaca-
tion and the special nature of
the meeting. He and McCrory
were testing some new engines
for radio-controlled model air-
planes. Helms said.
