11 witnesses testify in local murder trial
By DON HENRY Staff Reporter
The jury in the trial of a Lawrence man accused of murdering a 2-year-old Lawrence boy heard testimony and witnesses in Douglas District Court.
Stanley W. Chavez is accused of murdering Pratt White, the son of Sabrina and Elmer White, on the night of Dec. 9.
Craig Stanifleli, assistant district attorney, and John Nitcher. Chavez's brother was a U.S. diplomat.
STEVE CRAMER, an orderly who worked at Lawrence Memorial Hospital on the morning of Dec. 9, testified that Chavez and Sabrina White and gave up to the emergency room about 6:30 that morning, honking the horn.
Chavez had been living with White at the time.
He said that he met Chavez, who was carrying Pratt, at the door of the emergency room, and that Pratt looked blue and was cool to the touch.
They took Pratt to the cardiac room and began respiratory and cardiomyal resuscitation on him. He was then resuscitated by brunp and brump on Pratt's forehead.
He said he then called Dr. Vernon Brannon, who came to the hospital when he was ill.
BRANSAN TESTIFIED that when he arrived, hospital staff were trying to explain the situation.
Branson said he called White's doctor, DeAnn DeRoin, after White said she didn't think hospital personnel were doing a good job of caring for her child.
Branson testified that he had noticed no unusual injuries to the child's body.
"I saw no marks that could not have been a result of the usual activity of the players."
DeRoin testified that she examined the boy after she arrived and then told White that there was no hope of reviving him.
Cramer said he tried to soothe White after her son had been pronounced
"I PUT MY hand on her shoulder," he said, "and she cried on my shoulder."
Judy Dailey, a social worker at Lawrence Memorial Hospital who tried to comfort White, said White then told her that she thought she had not done a good job of disciplining Pratt. Dailey said White told her that Chavez had been trying to discipline Pratt by establishing a regular schedule for him
and by looking at him sternly when he misbehaved.
Dr. Carol Moddrell, a Lawrence county deputy coroner who assisted in the autopsy of Pratt, presented slides of different portions of Pratt's body that were taken before and during the autopsy.
She said the boy had about five contusions on the scalp that indicated the boy's head had come in contact with some blunt instrument.
SHE SHOWED slides of blood on five areas of the boy's skull, where he had received blows from a stationary or moving object.
A slide of the boy's buttocks showed two parallel abrasions.
Stancliffe entered as evidence a fyswaffte that had been found in White's apartment, and Moddrell told him it could have caused the marks.
She said the cause of death was bleeding in the skull which led to a compression and swelling of the brain. The portion of the brain that controls heartbeat and breathing was damaged, causing the boy's death, she said.
She showed a slide that showed blood in the top of the skull, which was removed for the examination. Blood also present around the brain, she said.
STEVE DANEY, Chavez's friend.
testified that his 2-year-old son had played with Pratt on Dec. 8, when Chavez brought him over.
While the boys played, Daney said, Pratt fell and hurt his head. Daney said
Daney said he was not in the room when the boy fell but testified that Chavez told him Pratt had hurt his head.
"Kids get head shots like that all the time," he said.
Anita Hernandez, a friend of who had babyasat with Pratt, testified she thought that White had very little patience with her son. She said she had once seen White strike Pratt on the arm, after she missed his head.
LINDA WILBUR, another of White's friends, said she had seen Pratt on Dec. 13.
She testified that White had told her that night that Pratt said he did not want to spend the night with Chavez. Pratt wanted to spend the night with Wendy. He resigned his residence where Wendy worked at Hatfield Indian Junior College, Wilbur said.
Kevin Wilbur, Linda's husband,
testified that he had seen White push
Pratt into the back seat of her car
because he had got into her lipstick
and had marked up the front seat of the
car, but that Pratt did not cry.
Directors of city programs to learn about selling
The regional conference, sponsored by the National Recreation and Park Association, is titled "A Business Approach to Parks and Recreation" and will be at the Holiday Inn Holidome.
FRED DEVICTOR, director of the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department, said that some parks and recreation programs were having financial problems and had to sell their programs.
"We are in a sense like a business," he said. "There are many cities that are looking for other sources of income."
DeVictor said cities provided recrea
ation programs, such as swimming, softball or lacrosse, and needed to stay active.
"You have to sell your program," he said.
could apply those marketing techniques to their programs.
Joe Axelson, general manager of the Kansas City Kings, will talk to the administrators Monday on how he markets the Kings.
Bruce Linton, professor of radio, television and film, along with some local news organizations, will interview some of the administrators.

Drinking Myth of the Week
IT'S IMPOLITE TO TELL A FRIEND HE'S DRINKING TOO MUCH.
Maybe if we weren't so "polite", we wouldn't have so many friends with drinking problems.
