Rape suspect committed to hospital
ANADARKO, Okla. (AP)—One of two men
accused of kidnappng and raping a 13-year-
girl in Anadarko in June said Wednesday he
doesn’t know if he is competent to stand trial,
court officials said.
A district judge ordered 24-year-old
defendant Michael Hinton committed to a
state hospital for up to 60 days of observation.
The order came during Hinton’s arraignment
Wednesday.
The other defendent, 20-year-old Lawrence
Knuckols, pleaded innocent to both charges
and is being held in lieu of $50,000 bond, of-
ficials said.
Hinton and Knuckols are charged with first-
degree kidnapping and rape in connection
with the abduction of an Anadarko girl June
21. She allegedly was held in an Anadarko
apartment a week before she escaped, in-
vestigators said.

BARTLESVILLE, Okla. (AP) — A man
who was shot Monday night by a policeman in
a shopping center was identified today as
Delbert L. Van Meter, 46, of Bartlesville.
Police Chief Harry Bruno gave the iden-
tification of the man who died at Jane Phillips
Memorial Hospital several hours after he was
shot once by a patrolman, Larry Silver Jr.
Silver, who has been routinely suspended
pending an invetigation, said he was on petrol
when he saw a man at the back door of a firm
in the Pennington Hills Shopping Center with
what appeared to be a bar in his hand. He said
he called to the man to stop but the man came
at him and threw a bar, which missed Silver's
head, hitting the patrol car.
Bruno said another bar bounced off the
pavement and tore a hole in the oil pan of the
police car.
