Candy Mossier Got Thrills Making A Million Dollars By JAMES L.OVERTON HOUSTON (UPI) -Candace Mossier once said her biggest thrill in life was making a million dollars.

But she was a lonely woman despite her wealth, according to a reporter who covered the sensational trial in which she was acquitted of the murder of her second husband. "I don't know if she thought of herself as bigger than life, but she never thought she was ordinary. She thought she had a special life," Houston Post columnist Marge Crumbaker told UPI. Mrs. Mossier, 55, acquitted 10 years ago in Miami of the murder of her wealthy husband, financier Jacques Mossier, died Tuesday in the city where Mossier was stabbed.

Her body was discovered by a son, Norman Johnson, in her room at the Fountainbleu Hotel where she frequently stayed on business trips to the city. She died apparently of natural causes. After she and her nephew, Melvin Lane Powers, now a millionaire investor-builder in Houston, were acquitted of the murder in one of the most sensational trials of the 1960s, she fought to retain control of the holdings. Ultimately her business acumen brought her banks, holding companies, shopping centers, office buildings, raw land, oil, gas, insurance firms and even a fling at the music world. "I just can't tell you how much fun it is for me to make a million dollars.

I have a ball. A real once said during an interview. "Some people get their thrill making a lot of babies and that's just wonderful, and maybe some other people just go wild over rolling those dice in Las Vegas, but I have ever so much more fun making a million dollars. Business. I just love it.

love it. It's my pleasure." Ms. Crumbaker who reported the Miami trial said Candy had few friends. "In her search for happiness, she only found more sadness," Ms. Crumbaker said.

"She was quite a contrast. One moment she would sound absolutely brilliant, and the next she would be very vague. She was terribly sad." A striking woman with wildly curled white-blonde hair, Mrs. Mossier wore silvery-blue eye liner which, along with her passion for pink and blue, became her trademarks. She lived in a 62-room mansion complex on Willowick Lane, a narrow winding lane that runs near Buffalo Bayou in the exclusive River Oaks section of Houston.

Following the trial she and Powers went separate ways publicly and in the few interviews she gave that "unfortunate Miami episode" was alwaysa touchy point. "Please stick to current events and treat us like normal people. That's all we ask," she would say. She married Barnett Garrison, 34, an electrical contractor, on July 14, 1971. He was disabled in a fall from her third floor bedroom window in Aug.

1972, and they were divorced in Nov. 1975, when she resumed the Mossier surname. In 1973, two of her adopted sons, David and Christopher Mossier, sought to have her removed as administrator for their portions of the trust created by Mossler's vast estate. The boys testified in court they could not go to college and live on the $350 a month she provided as a "free gift." Edwards Backs Bribes To Foreign Officials By ROYAL BRIGHTBILL BATON ROUGE, La. (UPI) Gov.

Edwin Edwards says U.S. businessmen should be allowed to bribe foreign government officials. Edwards, responding to a question Tuesday, said the inhibiting influence of the news media and the federal government against such bribes was "one of the most reprehensible things the press and the national government has done." "What they have rime is cheated American businessmen of the opportunity of doing business in foreign countries and deprived the American worker of the right to make and sell American products simply because somebody came up with super moralistic attitudes that you shouldn't be making payments to people in foreign governments." Edwards said U.S. businessmen should be allowed to do whatever is necessary to compete equally with other nations. Asked if that meant they should be allowed to pay bribes, Edwards replied, "Absolutely.

Pay bribes." "Even if it causes internal problems such as in Japan?" he was asked. "That's Japan's problem," Edwards said. The exchange occurred during an impromptu news conference in a guest sitting room of the governor's mansion. Edwards had taken reporters there to see a a four by six-foot black lacquer table with mother-of-pearl inlay, a gift of South Korean businessman Tongsun Park. A card under a glass top on JOE A.

Lynn B.

Hirshom of Bethlehem, who retired in 1971, was indicted in June on charges he conspired with other large steel executives to restrain and monopolize interstate trade in construction steel. Nine steel companies and nine other industry executives paid fines of more than $500,000 after entering "no contest" pleas to related charges last April. During Hirshorn's two-week trial, prosecutors said the 196971 conspiracy to limit competition in construction steel sales forced the price up 35 per cent. Hirshorn testified he never participated in any conspiracy to illegally control interstate trade. Obituaries ERICKA MEDRANO Ericka Medrano, 16 months, of 1615 E.

Edwards said Park gave the table to him as a "congratulatory gift" after he was elected to his first term as governor. Edwards also defended has wife's acceptance of gift of $10,000 from Park, saying it had no effect on his conauci, and what she did with it was "totally irrelevant." "It's a gift made to her by a friend.

It's a private matter. She sees no reason, nor do I. to comment further on it," Edwards said. He said the Internal Revenue Service has been aware of the gift for a year, and no impropriety was involved- Edwards said Park gave his wife the money as a personal gift in 1971, after he turned down an apparent offer of a campaign contribution. At the time, Edwards was a congressman campaigning for governor.

Edwards said he learned of the gift two years later. "There was nothing illegal or immoral or in violation of any rule or regulation and in no instance did it affect a decision by me as a governor or as a member of Congress." Edwards said he has never had any business association with Park, and never personally received anything from him. (Che Bronmsuillr Jif rnlb Founded on July 4, UK.
