CAMERA CENTERS Texas executes killer by injection HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) - Convicted murderer Charlie Brooks Jr. was executed by lethal injection early Tuesday, becoming the first U S prisoner to be put to death by that meth od, according to Tim Davis, a state trooper at the governer's mansion in Austin The injection of sodium Pen tothol was administered at 10 09 p m PST, and the 40-year-old Brooks was pronounced dead seven minutes later Prison authorities conferred with Gov William Clements at 10:01 p m., and were informed that no stay had been granted Brooks was the first black and only the sixth person to die since the U S Supreme Court allowed reinstitution of the death penalty in 1976 Texas' last execution was in 1964 Former Terrant County Dis trict Attorney Jack Strickland, who prosecuted Brooks, joined the requests for a stay of ex Appeals court upholds suburb’s handgun ban CHICAGO (AP) — A federal appeals court Monday upheld the nation's toughest gun ordinance, ruling that the Chicago suburb of Morton Grove acted within its authority when it banned the sale and possession of handguns. In a 2-1 decision, the 7th U S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected arguments that the ordinance enacted last year violated provisions of the state and federal constitutions that guarantee the right to bear arms Justice William Bauer, who wrote the 18-page majority decision, said he agreed with a U S. District Court ruling which held that the village acted within the police powers granted by the state constitution in outlawing sale and possession of handguns by anyone except law enforcement officers and registered gun collectors While "history may prove that the ordinance cannot effectively promote peace and security for Morton Grove's citizens,” it does not violate either constitution, Bauer said In a sharply worded dissent. Justice John Coffey called the majority ruling "a new nadir for the fundamental principle that a man's home is his castle ” ' Tuesday Night 25c Hot Dogs 8 pm til? Come enjoy live sporting events on our BIG SCREEN 3355 East Amazon ecution He argued the dispar ate sentences for Brooks and an accomplice were unfair as each was convicted on the same evidence of the same acts. The 5th U S Circuit Court of Appeals said the latest appeal did nothing to show that the evidence failed to support the conviction as well "as the jury verdict that his crime and his criminal potential warranted the capital sentence." Brooks was among 172 peo pie, including two women, under sentence of death in Texas Previously, Texas car ried out its executions by elec trocution. Brooks has said he preferred lethal injection. Last week, Brooks wed with Vennessa Sapp, a 27-year-old Fort Worth nurse who met him as a pen pal while he was awaiting trial Brooks had said his religion had been preparing him for death Blast inside Belfast disco caves in roof, five dead BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) — A bomb blast brought the roof down on the crowded dance floor of a bar frequented by British soldiers Monday night Police said at least five people were killed and the count was expected to rise.
