Judge declares Wichita murder trial a mistrial
By United Press International
WICHTIA — A mistrial was declared yesterday and a new jury was ordered in the murder trial of a newspaper computer programmer accused of strangling a Clearwater resident in the assessment of the programmer's home.
Sedgwick County District Court Judge D. Keith Anderson ordered a new trial after a witness testified Tuesday that one of the victims, Don Earl, met the defendant, LeRoy Willcox, while the two were incarcer
*ated at the federal prison at Leavenworth.
Another judge earlier had ordered that information about Willcox's prior criminal history not be brought up at the trial.
The witness was Martha Elliott, the sister of Earl's saint wife, Norma.
Willcox, 45, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the 1979 deaths of the Eve Ennis. Their bodies were recovered in 1983 in a shallow grave near Kingman.
Although new jurors are to be selected next week, the trial may have to be delayed, Assistant District Attorney Greg Walter said. He said some witnesses may not be able to in Wichita to testify next week.
Anderson, acting on a motion by defense attorney Jack Focht, said
information about Willcox's past
prejudice the jury.
Robert Armstrong, a New York City municipal computer programmer, also is charged in the deaths. Both he and his crew being held in lieu of $4 million bond.
Prosecutors claim that the couple was strangled to death with battery jumper cables in the basement of
Willecox's Wichita condominium to press from talking about a breast forgery request.
A man who was in prison with Earl, Willcox and Armstrong, Cecil Stembridge, has agreed to testify for the state in exchange for immunity from prosecution. Authorities also have promised to provide him with a new identity and relocate him in another city.
Stembridge led sheriff's deputies to the grave.
Willcox was a computer programming supervisor at The Wichita Eagle-Beacon when he was arrested

TOPEKA — Attorney General Robert Stephan yesterday cleared the Kansas Easter Seal Society of violating state laws on charity groups, but strongly criticized the organization's poor record-keeping.
Charity cleared of violations
In addition, Stephan said Easter Seal's record-keeping problems were serious enough to require his office to forge the organization for the next year.
Stephan said that when his investigation started last November, the Easter Seal Society was not in compliance with the Kansas Charitable
Solicitation Act's requirement that adequate records be kept on expenses and charitable allocations.
The organization's financial records were so poor that an independent accounting firm was hired to audit the report and issue a special report, Stephan said.
The attorney general's investigation began at the request of Sen. James Francisco, D-Mulvane, after a former society board member complained that the board was not allocating enough of its funds to charitable programs.
State law requires that at least 75 percent of a charity's gross receipts be spent on charitable purposes.
