CLOUDY CLOUDY Area police blotter Unsolved murder of Tide player takes new turn Associated Press Connecticut Senate blocks man's attempts to claim $5.8 million prize Associated Press HARTFORD, Conn. The clock struck midnight and Clarence Jackson didn't turn into a millionaire.

After watching $5.8 million slip through his fingers early this morning, Jackson found the man he blames for his misfortune and shook his hand. "He knows he did wrong and he'll have to. live with it," Jackson said of Sen. Alvin Penn, co-chairman of the committee that oversees gambling in Connecticut. Jackson, 24, won the Connecticut Lotto jackpot in October 1995, but he submitted the winning ticket three days after the one-year deadline expired.

With a small cleaning business to help support his elderly parents, Jackson begged the state Legislature to change the rules, But Penn said he just couldn't bend the rules for one man. Lottery officials told Penn that passage of the bill would open a floodgate of unpaid claims totaling millions of dollars, the senator said. Jackson told lawmakers that he gave the ticket to his ailing father and didn't realize it was a winner until about 15 minutes before the deadline. He could have had the ticket verified by any lottery vendor, but he said he didn't come forward until after the Columbus Day holiday weekend because he thought Crimes are listed by their location.

Associated Press Clarence Jackson, who missed lottery deadline by three days, sits in gallery during Senate vote. the ticket had to be taken to lottery headquarters. Jackson observed the final day of the legislative session Wednesday, hoping all the while that senators would vote on a special bill already approved by the House that would have given him the money. But the Senate adjourned at midnight without discussing the bill, despite support Jackson had from many lawmakers. During the governor's session-ending address, some legislators chanted "Give the kid the money." "I'll be back to try again next year," Jacksdn said with a wan smile as he slowly walked out of the "I haven't given up." Lottery BIRMINGHAM The 13-year-old unsolved murder of a former Alabama football player took a new twist when one of the men whom the victim's mother accused of the slaying was stabbed to death himself.

George Franklin Fluker 46, of Freeport, was found in a Birmingham alley with 29 stab wounds on May 24. He died a short time later at a nearby hospital. He was one of the three men Cissy Stehl sued for wrongful death in the 1 984 slaying of her son, Richard Barron Bryan, 33, a reserve fullback and defensive lineman at Alabama from 1972 to 1974. "I don't know what this is going to mean," said Mrs. Stehl, who has doggedly sought to solve the case since her son died.

"But I feel like something's got to happen now." Bryan was shot three times with a shotgun, once in each shoulder and once in the back of the head. His body was wrapped with baling wire and weighted with a logging chain, before it was found floating in a tributary of the Torhbigbee River in Choctaw County in rural southwest Alabama. Mrs. Stehl has offered a $75,000 reward to whoever finds the killer. She also filed a lawsuit that claimed her son had been working as a drug informant for the FBI, attempting to build a case against three men, Fluker, Edwin Gates Jr.

and another former Crimson Tide player, Robin Parkhouse. The lawsuit was dismissed in June 1990 because authorities, including Choctaw County Sheriff Donald Lolley, refused to turn over information from the investigation, saying the case was still open. "If Fluker's death might help solve this case, I'll go up to Birmingham myself," Lolley told the Birmingham Post-Herald in a story Wednesday. Bryan was last seen May 3, 1984 after returning to Tuscaloosa from a trip to the Bahamas and Florida. He received an urgent call that he told his girlfriend had come from Gates and Parkhouse.

Bryan set out to meet them antK' was not seen alive again.
