Wife savs town watched 'bully' die
By United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Trena McElroy sat across from about 40 residents of Skidmore, Mo., in a grand jury waiting room, just as she said she had faced dozens of them the day someone killed her husband, a "town bully" most were relieved to be rid of.
The 25-year-old widow told her story again yesterday to the second grand jury to investigate the vigilant-style shooting death of Kenneth Rex McElroy last July 10. She and her lawyer claim a conspiracy of silence has kept the dozens of witnesses from telling what they saw.
"I seen Del Clement get the gun out of the pickup and shoot," Mrs. McEilroy said she told the grand jury.
Clement, his brother Royce and their mother were among the 40 or so people who came from Skidmore for the proceedings.
"A lot of people seen what happened, and a lot of people could have come forward," she said.
Few mourned the passing of McElroy, who died of multiple
gunshot wounds from a high-powered rifle his wife said was fired across the street from McEliroy's pickup truck.
Many Skidmore residents said they felt their property, their livestock and their lives were safer with McEliory dead.
MrEiroy was slain in his pickup truck in broad daylight on the main street of Skidmore, a farming community of 440 in northwest Missouri. None of the more than 60 people Mrs. MrEiroy said she saw standing around the truck when the shots were fired admit to seeing it.

The Heart Association is concerned with hypertension, too, because of its

The pharmacists are conducting the examinations, she said, because pharmacists often see more cases of undiagnosed hypertension than doctors. Pharmacists, she said, need people who need prescriptions needs filling, while doctors might see the same patient only once every six months or year.
Other departments at the Med Center will work with the pharmacists during National Hypertension Month.

If a visitor to the hypertension check booth is found to have extremely high blood pressure, McMillian said, he immediately will be referred to Bruce Johnson, associate professor of medicine.
Johnson will be available to examine people with chronic high blood pressure immediately, McMillan said, but he will schedule appointments for people whose conditions are not diagnosed as serious.
