Attorneys
choose
second
juror
By JONATHAN WITT
Senior Staff Writer
A second person was selected Tues-
day to serve on the jury for the cap-
ital murder trial of James Edward
Clayton.
Clayton is accused of kidnapping
and murdering Hawley school-
teacher Lori Michelle Barrett Sept.
l&V 1987- Her body was not -found
until 1 1 days later.
The newest juror is a deacon in
the Church of Christ but Clayton's
lawyer Ken Lcggett said that the
deacon "had sons who were accused
and convicted of crimes."
The juror works for Hayhurst
Brothers Drilling. He is married
and has three children.
The defense has struck seven
jurors without giving a legal cause.
Both the defense and the prosecu-
tion are allowed 15 such strikes.
The prosecution has used three.
The other people who were ex-
cused from jury duty were struck
for a variety of legal causes. Several
have been struck because they knew
too much about the case and had al-
ready formed an opinion.
The trial will begin Oct. 3 if the
jury has been selected by then but
prosecuting attorney Jorge Solis
said he doubted that jury selection
would be completed by then.
The court plans to sequester the
jury for the trial which is expected
to last at least two weeks.
Forty-seven people from the orig-
inal 71 are left in the pool of poten-
tial jurors. If the pool is depleted
the trial judge 104th District Court
of Judge Billy John Edwards will
call for a new pool of people or call
for a change of venue.
Clayton was enrolled at ACU
through the summer of 1987. Bar-
rett was a member of Hillcrest
Church cf Christ. Her sister Kelly
White graduated from ACU in
1985.

In the past ACU has recognized
one family each year but the
number of three- and four-generation
families has become so large
the alumni office wanted to
recognize all generation families.
Jim Ravancili director of the
alumni association said "Wc want
to say thank you in a special way.
These families are an important
part of the growth of ACU."
The alumni office is unsure of
how many generation families exist

of season
By KEVIN MILLER
Optimist Staff
Christian Homes of Abilene con-
ducted its first blood drive of the
year this week in the Campus
Center. The blood drive began
Tuesday and continued through
Thursday.
The money from the blood drive
helps pay medical expenses incurred
by Christian Homes a non-profit
organization that provides foster
care services and adoption place-
ment for unwed mothers.
An agreement among Christian
Hotne&Hho-MctL-BlootUBank and .
Hendnck Medical Center allows the
Home to receive a $25 credit for
each pint of blood.
Last year ACU students faculty
and staff raised $22000. The
money gained from the ACU drives
pays almost half of the home's year-
ly expenses.
The goal for this drive was 300
pints.
Tim Yandell director of devel-
opment said he felt certain the goal
could be reached. By Thursday
afternoon 135 donors had given
blood.
