Tilton misses
deadline for
his records
DALLAS (AP) — Another deadline has
come and gone for televangelist Robert Tilton
to hand over financial records to state investi-
gators.
Gray McBride, a spokesman for the Texas
Attorney General's office, said the embattled
minister would be contacted^oday about his
tardy documents.
The attorney genera! needs the records —
which include tax forms and ledgers — to con-
tinue investigating the Farmers Brandi-based
ministry, McBride said. Tilton was to have
turned in the records Tuesday.
McBride said Tilton’s ministry said it would
not respond to the records request, and asked
that the request be withdrawn.
Tilton’s attorney. i.C. Joyce of Tulsa, Old a.,
said die ministry would not provide the docu-
ments because Tilton already has opened
records to federal investigators.
Tilton has been under legal scrutiny since
ABC-TV’s Prime Time Live broadcast a profile
of his ministry in November
According to the broadcast, Tilton kept
financial donations sent with “prayer
requests,” but the requests didn’t reach the
minister.
The ministry has denied die allegation

Hunter doing
well after 21
hours in mud
UNIONTOWN, Pa. (AP) — If a
man sinks in the mud in the forest
and nobody's there to hear him
scream, should he make a sound?
George Zubeck yelled. In fact, he
yelled himself hoarse in his 21 hours
in a sticky prison on some state game
lands southeast of Pittsburgh. He was
in mud up to his knees, his waist and
his torso at different times in the
ordeal.
Before he was rescued by a logging
crew Monday, the 39-year-old turkey
hunter also wriggled like a worm,
managed to get a full night’s sleep
and talked to himself.
In an telephone interview from his
hospital bed. where he was wrapped
in white sheets hours after mud had
caked his clothes. Zubeck said he was
scouting for good hunting spots Sun-
day afternoon and thought he’d only
get his boots dirty in the remote bog
in Wharton Township, Fayette Coun-
ty
“Before I knew it, it was up to my
knees, and then up to my thighs, wd
then what are you going to do? If you
try to dig yourself out, it just gets
worse." he said from Presbyterian
University Hospital, where he was in
fair condition early today.
Zubeck. who was being treated for
hypothermia, said he figured the
heavy equipment he saw nearby
meant someone would find him the
next morning, so he decided to get
some rest by laying sideways in the
mud and sucking his hands inside his
jacket to keep warm. The overnight
temperature dropped to about 40
degrees
The next morning, he heard a
front-end loader firing up and yelled
to a logging crew that came to clear
trees
“They thought I was pulling some
kind of joke on them.” be said.
