OKMULGEE, Okla. (AP) - A convicted rapist and
murderer jailed in Washington state faces charges he
killed an Okmulgee man and stole hie identity nine
years ago, authorities eay.
Daniel Yates, 39, was arraigned Monday on a first-
degree murder charge in connection with the death of
Michael Wayne Smith, then 35. Smith’s skeleton was
found in a shallow grave last November.
"I thought we’d be lucky to ever identify the bones,
let alone find who killed him,* Sheriff Doyle James
said.
Yates allegedly killed Smith to assume his identity,
James said.
"He (Yates) was wanted on a warrant in Okmulgee
County at that time. He needed another identity,*
James said.
It is believed that Smith had been living with Yates
and Yates’ wife, Sherry, in Okmulgee.
Yates, sentenced in October 1988, is serving life
without parole in the Walla Walla State Penitentiary in
Washington for rape and murder, eaid a Washington
Department of Corrections official.
TULSA, Okla. (AP) — A Wagoner County man has

in connection with the shooting death of a teen-ager,

Authorities said David Walters, 22, of Tullahassee, a
small community in southern Wagoner County, turned
himself in Monday after learning he wanted in con-
nection with the fatal shooting of Jodie Wright, 17, of
Muskogee.
Wright was shot early Sunday in the parking lot of a
beer bar in Red Bird, about 10 miles northeast of Tulla-

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Oklahoma officials say the
state’s efforts to recover more than $6 million in alleged
excess secuiities fees could be helped by federal
indictments filed against three people involved in the
case.
“Certainly if there is a conviction or a plea bargain
which includes restitution it will have an effect on the
state’s ability to re-cover the money,” Assistant Attor-
ney General Neal Leader said Monday.
“Even if that doesn’t come about, information that
* comes out during the trial may be helpful to prosecu,
ti or of the civil case."
Irving Faught, administrator of the state Securities
Department, told the Tulsa World. Capitol bureau for
a story in today’s editions that the convictions of Patri-
cia Whitehead, the former deputy state treasurer, for-
mer San Diego securities trader Pat Kuhse and
William Pretty, a Norman businessman, could help the
state prove its case in two lawsuits.
The 32-count indictment alleges s scheme from
1991 to 1993 by Ms. Whitehead, Kuhse and Pretty in-
volving kickbacks, briberise and money laundering.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Oklahoma Wildlife De-
partment officials say a conservation project could be-
gin this winter at an old wetland southeast of Frederick
now that the agency has received a $960,000 federal
grant for the effort.
Rod Smith, southwest region supervisor for the
Wildlife Department’s game division, said Monday
that the department had purchased more than 5,000
acres at Hackberry Flats and plans to re-create the
wetlands setting that flourished until the early 1900e.
Smith said the site had been a bowl-shaped de-
pressed area with water coming in but no outlet The
standing water created a wetland that was an out-
standing wildlife habitat, he said.
Farmers dug a ditch several miles long In the early
1900s to drain the water and planted cotton, wheat and
miloin the area.

Chlorine dioxide could
lead to cleaner chickens
WASHINGTON (AP) — In the fight for cleaner poultry,
Agriculture Department researchers are turning to a new
chemical disinfectant, chlorine dioxide, to combat bacteria at
a critical stage during processing.
Once turkeys and chickens have been dsfsathered and
eviscerated, the next step in processing is immersion in the
chiller bath, a large tub of icy water that brings the carcasees
temperatures down to 40 degrees Fahrenheit or less.
The coding process takes about an hour with the inten-
tion of preserving the freshness of the meat and giving the
birds longer shelf lives.
However, the communal vat filled with thousands of car-
casses also serves as a mechanism for bacteria to spread.
“The bath is a critical point in the plant’s control of cross-
contamination by these microorganisms,’ food safety re-
searcher Lee Tsai said in a recent issue of Agricultural Re-
search magazine.                        A
And the microorganisms read like a bacterial most
wanted list: Salmonella, Listeria, Escherichia coli, Campy-
lobacter and Entobacteriaceae.
Most processing plants use chlorine during the chiller
bath stage as a disinfectant. However, Tsai and other re-
searchers think chlorine dioxide can be up to five times more
effective. , ,
During a one-year study, researchers showed that adding
20 to 30 parte per million of chlorine dioxide to chiller water
reduced bacterial levels from 12,000 to 14,000 unite per
milliliter to under 10 units in less than five minutes.
By comparison, it takes 100 to 150 parts per million of
chlorine to attain the same level of disinfection. Most
processing plants typically add only 20 to 50 unite of chlorine
to chiller water.
Another benefit of chlorine dioxide, according to re-
searchers, is that the chemical, unlike chlorine, will not form
mutagens — compounds that cause mutation or other poten-
tially harmful changes in cells.
Yet another drawback of chlorine is that it tends to react
with chicken fat and other proteins in the chiller bnths,
forming cnrbonyl compounds, which are linked to poor fin-
vor in the meat.
