Mother urges son to surrender in Hart case
Ella Buckskin says if evidence against Gene Leroy Hart is strong she would ask him to turn himself in if she knew where he is. She doubts Hart would return to this region, noting he may be out of state. Authorities search a four square mile area for Hart charged with first degree murder in the deaths of three Girl Scouts. Some say the case is a frame-up while Sheriff Weaver says Hart is the killer and could survive the winter with help from friends.

Court denies 2 inmates requests at Missouri prison
In Cole County Circuit Court three Missouri State Penitentiary inmates had motions under Supreme Court Rule 27.26 denied for failing to include all grounds to vacate or modify convictions. Bruce A.
