Secretary Takes Witness Stand In Reece Bond Case
In Nashville Tennessee on March 1 AP two cross examiners harried Miss Hits McCray a defense witness in the J I Reece case, seeking to deny she had previously given a statement conflicting with her testimony. McCray said she knew the former employer had gone East in February 1988 related to marketing bonds and reported progress to his successor. The DA highlighted she denied bond knowledge during a probe into $300,000 of securities disappearances from the insurance department. McCray defended her remarks as the simplest thing to say, acknowledging tentative information had been given to her. The defense objected to further questioning, and Judge Gilbert ruled Walker could proceed as governor’s representative under state authority. Miss McCray’s cross-examination concluded with adjournment after a direct examination Monday.
