Bad Weather Blamed
In Wreck On Airhart
Wednesday’s stormy weather
and slick streets were blamed for
at least one of three major ac-
cidents, Baytown police said.
Both drivers in a two-car colli-
sion in the 1000 block of Airhart
sustained minor injuries in a
10:20 a.m. accident Wednesday,
police said.
Buster McAlister, 63, of 2111
Carolina, and Glenn R. Hoyt, 22,
of 2300 Taft, were both taken to
Baytown Medical Center by
Baytown Ambulance, police said.
The accident happened when
Hoyt’s car, northbound on
Airhart, hit a bump and began
skidding sideways bn the rain-
slicked road, police said. His car
reportedly crossed the center line
and slid into McAlister’s car,
southbound on Airhart.
Four people in one car sustain-
ed minor injuries in a 9 p.m.
Wednesday accident at the in-
tersection of North Main and
Massey-Tompkins/Rollingbrook.
Wilda K. Moody, 31, of 3800
Tompkins Drive, and her
passengers, Ryan M. Moody, 3;
Donald R. Moody, 10; both of the
same address; and Knox S.
Kirkland, 30, of Mississippi; were
taken to San Jacinto Methodist
Hospital by private car, police
said.
Officer Keith Rowe said the ac-
cident occurred when Robert L.
Carson of 404 Harvey, driving
southbound on North Main, failed
to stop as the light at the intersec-
tion turned red. His car collided
with the Moody’s pickup, east-
bound coming from Rollingbrook,
in the intersection, Rowe
reported.
Carson was charged with
failure to yield right of way and
failure to maintain financial
responsibility, Rowe said.
Another accident in which one
man sustained a possible injury
occurred at the intersection of
Spur 201 and West Texas Avenue
at 3:15 p.m. Wednesday, police
said.
Joel L. Lowery, 18, of 1221
Milner, was taken to Gulf Coast
Hospital by Baytown Ambulance,
Officer Mike Wood reported.
Lowery, westbound on West
Texas Avenue, failed to yield
right of way to a car driven by
Katherine J. George of 502 In-
woOd, which was northeastbound
on Spur 201, Wood said.

; HUMBLE (AP) -
• A comatose man
whose son shot him in
. the head in an effort
*.to end his suffering
• sustained no addi-
tional damage
. because the bullet
dodged in a part of his
brain that was
-already dead,- a
.police chief says.
“The man is in the
! same condition that
' he was in before he
was shot,” Humble
..Police Chief L.E.
•Hendrick said
• Wednesday. “It
i literally had no effect
'on him.”
•• Billy Ray Clore, 25,
was charged early
Wednesday with at-
' tempted murder in
. the Monday shooting
’• of his father, 63-year-
/ old Robert Clore. The
: elder man remained
in critical condition
'• at Northwest Medical
Center in Houston
; late Wednesday. He
had been comatose
since December.
The younger Clore
is charged with at-
tempted murder in
the shooting of his
father. The elder
man was shot in the
temple with a .45-
caliber pistol as he
lay in his bed at the
Humble Skill Care
Center about 20 miles
north of Houston.
The son was held in
lieu of a $10,000 bond
that State District
Judge Ted Poe set
after hearing that
Clore had a prior
fraud conviction.
“I felt my father
was suffering,” a
prosecutor quoted
Clore as saying after
the shooting. “I felt
my shooting him
would stop his suffer-
ing.”
Hendrick said he
feels there was
“some question” as
to whether the elder
Clore — who had
been suffering from
kidney failure - was
legally alive at the
time of the shooting.
He conceded that
under Texas law, it
appears Clore was
alive at the time of
the shooting. The law
states physicians
may declare patients
on life support
systems dead if there
is irreversible cessa-
tion of brain func-
tion” — in other
words, if the patients
recorded brains
waves are flat.
Doctors said part of
Gore’s brain’s func-
tions were still
operating before the
shooting, Hendrick
said.

some question re-

does not know when

He also said doctors

ple, passing through
