NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The Louisiana Supreme Court says prosecutors
may use a confession in their murder case against an Oklahoma woman, even
though .he statement was covered by an immunity agreement 'n MissicMpp .

General Drew Edmondson, she is being held in
lieu of SI million bond
Ms. Edmondson was traveling with her
boyfriend. Benjamin Darras of Tahlequah,
Okla.. in 1005 and told Mississippi prosecutors
about the crimes they committed along the
way.
In her statement, she said she was w ith uar-

said Darras made her rob and shoot Patsy

Dry grass poisons
rattle near Lawton
LAWTON (AP) — Ranchers
tending cattle in the hot Oklahoma
summer have more than just
diought and crispy temperatures to
deal with.
A weed known as Johnson
grass is proving just as dangerous
to cattle because cyanide naturally
contained within the plant is not
being washed out by rain.
Dr. l-arry Chambers, a Lawton
veterinarian, says dozens of cows
in the area have died alter they ate
some Johnson grass.
"In the past two or three weeks,
I've treated 50 to 1(H) head of cat-
lie and lost 20 to 30." he said
Wednesday.
Chambers said just a few
mouthfuls of Ihe stuff can kill i
cow in minutes.
Dr. Don Beavers, a Lawton vet
erinarian, said cattle can he treated
for the poison if it is noticed in
time — usually within the hour
"hut the main thing is to avoid let-
ting cattle graze on areas with that
growth in it."
"If they are in an area all the
time, the chance of contracting it
are not too great," Beavers said

Today is Thursday, July 9, the
190th day of 1998. There are 175
days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On July 9, 1896, William Jen-
nings Bryan caused a sensation at
the Democratic national conven-
tion in Chicago with his "cross of
gold" speech denouncing sup-

nation.
On this date:
In 1776, the Declaration of
Independence was read aloud to
Gen George Washington’s troops

killed as an inbound local train
collided with an outbound
express in Nashville, Tcnn.
In 1947, the engagement of
Britain's Princess Elizabeth to Lt.

announced.
In 1951, President Truman
asked Congress to formally end
the state of war between the
United States and Germany.
In 1982, a Pan Am Boeing
727 crashed in Kenner, La.,
killing all 146 people aboard and
eight people on the ground.
In 1986, the Attorney Gener-
al's Commission on Pornography
released the final draft of its
2,(XK)-page report, which linked
hard-core porn to sex crimes.
Ten years ago: Teamsters
President Jackie Presscr died in
Lakewood, Ohio, at age 61. Dog
