Two black men entered the station shortly after it opened, produced a handgun and demanded money. The two men fled in an auto bearing Oklahoma license plates. Police said $1,265 was stolen. POLICE REPORTED a cash theft of $2,200 from an unlocked safe in a residence of the 400 block of 19th Street NW. The theft occurred sometime between Dec.

Thursday. From the Front it a of tbo Audit Bureau of Circulation, Thfl emrf Texc 1 Dolly Ramond 'serry. a Paris resident former teacher at Paris High -School, is doing "fine" and has been moved out of the Intensive Care Unit into a regular room, according to a spokesman at the Humana Hospital Medical City Dallas. Berry underwent a quadruple bypass heart operation Monday at the hospital I Berry was coach of the Paris Wildcats for 25 years, and taught for vcars. Rogers trial Continued from Page One frustrates what they want," Grigson said.

The Dallas psychiatrist also said that a sociopath is often manipulative and abusive of people, but noted that a "super-aggressive businessman who's cutting corners" is not a sociopath. Byrd, however, presented a different view Wednesday. Byrd said a wealthy sociopath "is in charge of companies skilled, efficient and credible." A poor sociopath, he said, is "street-wise." Byrd said a sociopath "sounds very much like a teen-ager who is telling you nothing is wrong." The Louisiana psychiatrist also testified that a sociopath is very astute at being defensive, tossing blame for wrong to another. Rogers, Byrd said, had a complete lack of defensiveness when talking about the incidents of Saturday, Sept. 21.

Grigson said Rogers denied any incidents. "It was my opinion he was lying," the doctor said. "I think he was very much aware of what he was doing and what was going on (on Sept. 21)." Prosecution attorneys also directed a number of questions to Grigson on the effects of PCP on a person's behavior. "There is no chemical, drug or medicine that makes a person commit a crime," Grigson said, contradicting a point made earlier by Byrd.

PCP, Byrd testified, "makes the thinking apparatus come all to pieces," and makes a person act in an illogical manner, "as if they were unaware of the consequences." Rogers, Byrd said, was not sophisicated enough to know the adverse effects of PCP, and "wouldn't know one way or the other" if behavior was logical or illogical, right or wrong. Betty Grable photographer dies at age 84 VALENCIA, Calif. (AP) Frank Powolny, a photographer who snapped a famous World War II pin-up picture of Betty Grable and took one of the last shots of Marilyn Monroe, died Sunday of a heart attack. He was 84. Powolny was head portrait and still photographer at 20th Century- Fox from 1923 to 1966.

He was best known for the pin-up of Betty Grable that GI's carried into battle during World War II. In 1962, Powolny took the last known still photographs of Marilyn Monroe on the set of "Something's Got to Give," a week before ner death. His last movie was "The Sound of Music" in 1966. Man found dead in Emberson John Wayne Davis, 22, was found dead early this morning in Emberson, a victim of a self-inflicted shotgun wound. The body was discovered about 6 a.m.

Funeral services are pending with Gene Roden's Sons. Directors of Funerals. Fire Calls Paris Fire Department officials report firefighters made the following calls during the period ending 8 a.m. Thursday. WEDNESDAY 6:01 p.m..

a grass fire reported at 34th Street NW and Loop 286. Time out: one hour, two minutes. 7:16 p.m.. a smoke report at 338-2nd NE. Time out: 48 minutes.

Byrd also testified that when Rogers was relating the incidents, he was very detached, "like it really didn't happen. It was just a Saturday morning scenario he was watching, and then he would return this rented videocassette to the store." Grigson said Rogers was absent of remorse when discussing events a nonsociopath would display sadness or guilt over. "He showed none whatsoever," Grigson said. The Dallas pyschiatrist also testified that Rogers reported hearing voices and told him he quit school in the 10th grade because his imaginary friend told him to do so. "It is my opinion he was lying," Grigson said.

Byrd was the first witness for the defense Wednesday. Patricia and Gene Rogers, parents of the accused, also took the stand for their son. The two testified that their son's personality and habits began changing when he was about 15 or 16, and that they suspected drug abuse was the cause. Defense attorney David Holmes rested his case shortly before 3 p.m. Wednesday.

Grigson was a rebuttal witnesses for the prosecution, which also called upon three Lamar County jailers to testify about Rogers' behavior since his arrest. Neil Sorenson, who booked Rogers into jail on the night of Sept. 21, said the man displayed no unusual behavior, and jailers Paul Smith and Debra Parish said that Rogers has not exhibited strange behavior during his confinement. Under the law, voluntary intoxication by drugs does not constitute an insanity defense. Fannin County Continued from Page One Democratic nomination for the county judge's office.

George T. Smith of Leonard, a former Precinct 2 justice of the peace, is seeking the nomination for that office. Smith, a retired property manager from the Dallas area, held the Precinct 2 justice of the peace office from 1979 until 1982.

Heer's estate also included a bank account with a balance of $400,000, Jackson said. Heer and his brother, George, had owned and operated the Washington Plumbing and Heating Co.

and had retired from the business decades ago, said Grace Skoog, Heer's niece and executrix of his estate. The two lived together until October, when George died of a cerebral hemorrhage at age 95. Jackson said Ms. Skoog told him she offered to help her uncle "because he couldn't do a lot for himself anymore, but he refused." "Apparently he managed to keep his money a secret," Jackson said. "I think his relatives knew he had some money, but I don't think they had any idea of how much." The Rev.

Joseph Beck, associate pastor of the church, said Heer was a member but was not known to the clergy there. "He did not attend church in recent years and most of us did not know him," he said. "He did not even request shut-in visits, as is common with elderly parishioners." Local Forecast Weather information for the 24-hour period ending at 8 a.m. Thursday courtesy of observer Richard W.
