Higgins said the five men in Brown
Beretuniforms who fired the salute
refused to let police inspect their rifles
before they were fired to see if they
were loaded with blanks.
But Higgins said police “were
aware they (the Brown Berets) were
shooting live ammo.”
Following the salute Brown Beret
leader Ernest Fraga said, “We want

notified Denton County Sheriff
Kenneth George that her son had
stopped at Miss Walker’s abandoned
car, which had apparently stalled as
the girl was driving to Lewisville.
In a written statement given to the
sheriff’s office, Mrs. Smith said she
was with her son when he stopped
near the car and looked under its
hood, touching the radiator cap and
hose and possibly the fenders of the
vehicle.
Later, however, under cross-
examinatioh by Cobb during a bond
reduction hearing for the defendant,
Mrs. Smith said she was not with her
son when he stopped at the vehicle.
A vehicle McCrory was allegedly
driving that night, a 1966 blue Cadillac
with a white left front door, has been
impounded.
According to testimony at
McCrory’s arraignment, Capt.
Dwight Crawford of the sheriff’s of-
fice and Texas Ranger Ralph Wad-
sworth later talked with the defendant
and he agreed to accompany them to
the location where Miss Walker’s
body was found.
When they walked to a grassy area
approximately 40 feet off the road,
their flashlight illuminated a metal
stake in the ground, Crawford
testified, and McCrory asked him if
that was where the body was
discovered. Crawford said he had
indicated to the defendant that the
body was found down the road, but
that he had given the defendant no
—specific location. -------■
Initial investigations into Miss
Walker’s murder centered around .
statements from witnesses who said
they saw a car and several men
stopped near the yellow Ford the girl
was driving.

stay until the Supreme Court acts on a
motion to grant the defense access to
specific evidence which will be used
by County-District Attorney Jerry
Cobb in seeking the death penalty
against the defendant. Assisting Cobb
will be George Preston, who has been
hired as a special prosecutor in the
- case.
The defense is asking the high court
to vacate a Texas Court of Criminal
Appeals refusal to hear a motion
requesting that Judge Stanley Kirk be
instructed to order that any such
evidence held by the prosecution be
shared with the defense prior to the
start of the trial.
Included in the specific evidence the
defense is seeking access to,are files
and documents and-or witnesses’
statements dealing with prior
criminal misconduct of the defendant,
employment or school records in-
volving his conduct, or statements
from witnesses which indicate that
McCrory has at any time “expressed
a willingness to kill, a desire to kill, an
ability to kill ... ”
Evidence on such future
possibilities is admissable in a capital
murder trial, since questions jurors
must answer to invoke the death
penalty deal in those possibilities.
Prior to the start of jury selection
Monday, Kirk, presiding judge of the
78th District Court where the McCrory
trial was transferred on a change of
venue, will consider a defense motion
'to supress a statement the defendant
allegedly made about the incident.
The defense contends the statement
is inadmissable because McCrory was
not advised of his constitutional rights
prior to giving the statement. 1
McCrory was arrested and charged
with the murder June 12, after his
mother, Mrs. Travis Smith, initially

I Children walk!
to support I
arts center
I What looked like trick-or-treating ih 1
several areas of Denton Saturday 1
I afternoon was really the "Children’s
March for the Arts," an information 1
campaign sponsored by the Greater 1
Denton Arts Council.
Children in various areas of the city 1
| canvassed their neighborhoods, 1
urging support for the proposed $2 1
million Denton arts center.
Voting on the issue will be Dec. 5 at 1
the Denton Civic Center Absentee
voting is already under way
Several members of the council
; . accompanied campaigning groups
along their routes
Ema Ruth Russell, council
secretary, said the center is not for I
graphic artists only The proposed
facility will offer a comprehensive
arts program, including dance, music
and theatrical productions
Educational programs for adults
will be presented, as well as programs
directed towards children’s groups
Protected space for arts
. exhibitions, practice space for
musical productions and visual arts
presentations are some of the major
items badly needed at this time, ac-
cording to Mrs. Russell
“Nowhere in the city at this time
can an artist display his work and
know it will be safe," she said
The proposed arts center involves a
$2 million bond issue. If the issue
passes, taxes for the average Denton
homeowner will increase 8 cents per
1 $100 of taxable evaluation, or about
$1.28 per month for the average
citizen, the council stated in a release
The center would also draw about
- $10,000 for operating expenses from
the city’s hotel motel sales tax
Additional funding should be
I available from private sources and
grants; the council said
Operating fees will be charged to
I . groups to help offset the cost of
maintaining the building Annual
operating and maintenance costs
should run approximately $84,000, the
group estimated. Included in the
figure are estimated costs for ad-
ministrative personnel, custodial
care, utilities, grounds care, upkeep
and insurance
