Douglas Boyd Cates, of the 3700 block of North. First Avenue, turned himself in to police about four hours after Judy Cates was found dead in her home in the 4500 block of East 17th Street, said Sgt. Paul Hallums iof the Tucson Police Department. Mrs.

Cates' daughter discovered Cites 'ethics' differences with her key supporters By Steve Meissner The Arizona Dally Star A veteran of numerous city boards and commissions has changed her mind about challenging Councilman George Miller in the Sept. 19 Democratic primary. Peggy Lockard said she decided not to run because of a "disagreement on ethics" with her key supporters, whom she would not identify. "Basically, they said that if I expected to win, I'd have to run a negative campaign," she said. "I told them I would not and could not do that.

I couldn't run a negative campaign against George, or anybody else." Lockard, 58, said in announcing her Ward 3 candidacy that Miller was a friend, but said she disagreed with the three-term incumbent on issues involving traffic problems and growth. She said yesterday she planned to work with Miller and other council members "to try to get them to rethink their attitudes I guess you'll be seeing me (appear) a lot more during calls to the audience." One of the primary issues cited by Lockard was her dismay at city plans for widening streets, which she said could be avoided by improvements to alternative modes of transpor tation besides the car. She promised yesterday to continue her push against street widenings'. Before announcing her candidacy, Lockard resigned from a city panel that hears appeals of rulings involving Tucson's Sign Code. Lockard said she will continue to decline to serve on any city panels.

Lockard is the owner of a small publishing house and ex-member of several commissions involved in planning issues. Unless someone else gathers enough signatures by Thursday to enter the Republican or Democratic primaries, or If someone manages to qualify by Oct. 24 as a write-in candidate, Miller apparently will be unopposed. Miller said Lockard called her Thursday to tell him that she had changed her mind. "I was overjoyed to hear it," said Miller.

Miller said he was preparing to gather more signatures and raise more money in preparation for a primary contest. "I was all geared up to go, but I'm much happier not going," he said. Miller also said Lockard decided not to run because she was having trouble collecting signatures for her nominating petitions. Lockard, however, said she and her supporters collected about 200 signatures in only two days, and felt it would have been possible to collect the 470 signatures that were needed by Thursday. her mother's body inside the house 1 1 around 9:30 a.m.
