HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) - A former Indiana man is scheduled for
execution in Texas tonight for the fatal shootings of an ex-topless
dancer and her boyfriend almost 20 years ago.

Thirty-eight-year-old Charles Dean Hood was arrested in
Vincennes, Indiana the day after the November 1989 slayings of
Ronald Williamson and Tracie Lynn Wallace in the Dallas suburb of
Plano.

When arrested, Hood was driving Williamson's $70,000 Cadillac
but insisted he had permission from the victim. He maintains he's
innocent of the murders.

Evidence showed his prints were on plastic bags taped to
Wallace's body, which had been stuffed into a water heater closet.
His bloody prints were on a weight machine used to block the closet
door. Other evidence showed he used Williamson's credit card to
order flowers for a woman in Vincennes.
