Slayer Kills Half-Brother By Mistake In Texas Gunfight
A weekend cross border pursuit ends near Shamrock Texas with the capture of James William Whiteard 21 of Phoenix Arizona who said he shot Junior Bard Myers 32 in the dark thinking he was part of the posse. Victor Lee Stephens 19 was killed during the chase on his father J B Stephens ranch as Texas and Oklahoma officers hunted the pair after a hit and run in Texola Oklahoma. Myers had a long arrest record and several aliases while Whiteard used the name James Hunter. The men were traced through scrub brush as bloodhounds and air support joined the pursuit ending with Whiteard dozing beside Myers body in the dawn light.
