Sobbing Wite Tells How She 5 ~i~"~~i~t Serita Brown, 24. testified yes- terday she shot her estranged husband, Joseph, 24, a Univer- s1!):· oi_ San Diego student, in sel -defense. The 98-pound defendant testi• fied under questioning by her court-appointed attorney, David G. Burney, before Superior Court Judge Gilbert Harelson. She is charged with murder. The witness said she had ar- guments with Brown. a sociolo- gy student and manager of the university's varsity basketball team, over his relationships with other women PARKED CAR She said she met Brown March 23 when she parked her car at Florida Street and Lin- coln Avenue in North Park. J Mrs. Bro\\-n testified she wanted to get some money from Brown so she could place their 3-year--0ld daughter in nursery school. She said an argument broke out as she sat in her car and Brown was standing outside the vehicle. "lie reached into the car and grabbed me by the neck.•. I reached for the gun. It all hap- pened so suddenly," the witness sobbed. She said the gtJFI was in the glove department. She con- tinued· PULLED TRIGGER "I knew when I drove away that I had pulled the trigger." Brown died at Hillside Hospi- tal a few hours after the shoot- ing. He had been shot in the abdomen with a .22-caliber re• volver. On cross-examination, Depu- ty Dist. Atty. William Gentry asked: "Were you afraid he was go- ing to kill you?" She answered: "Yes. I was. I was screaming for help. There were people passing by and there were people across the street, but they just watched." :\frs. Brown's account of the shooting differed from that of a prosecution witness called by Gentry. COULD SEE HANDS The witness, John Kitchen, the maFtager of an apartment house across the street from the scene, testified he could see Brown's hands above the top o[ the car at the time the shot was fired. At least six ~fense witnesses testified that they had seen Brown strike his wife on sev- eral occasions. Another witness called by the defense, attorney John McCabe, testified that months before the shooting, Mrs. Brown had asked him to obtain divorce papers for her and in- quired about an order to re- strain Brown from annoying her.

"The post is usually filled by a man," conceded the 24ryear-old. She docs recollect a woman working for the New Orleans Saints in a similar capacity, and believes the woman has moved up the ladder to NFL headquar- ters. How did she get started at her present occupation? "I was secretary of tlie athlet- ic department at the college be- fore taking the sports informa- tion post some three years ago," related Miss Devore, "It all started in high school when I helped in public relations for the San Diego Chari:ers and the Padres." The Padres then weren't m e m b e r s of the National League, but were comp~ting in the Pacific Coast Leagu~ During those years ~Uss De- vore brushed sboulde against major league notabl suclt as Don Heffner, Dave Bristol and Eddie Leishman, present vice president-general manager of the N. L. entry. * * * "The position is challenging, and I plan to stick with it as of now," commented tbe tallish blonde. Miss DeVore does all the work. And the "work" consists of sending out weeloly releases on the sports in voliue to some 100 outlets. The college, a private Catholic institution of some 1250 students, sends out information on all sports "but surfing," added , Miss Devore. The athletic director at the University of San Diego (Gail's boss) is Phil Woolpert, who coached juggernaut cage teams at the University of San Fran- cisco, containing such players as Bill Russell, K. C. Jones and Mike Farmer. Miss Devore, who tries to at- tend college during the summer en route to a degree, does feel the job has disadvantages. "Social life is suppressed," she pointed out, "but as long as we win, I'm not going to worry about a social life." There are advantages to being a woman, added Miss Devore, who doesn't espouse the wom- en's lib movement. * * * "U you goof and don't remem- ber to help an editor with a deadline, he's less likely to chew you out than if you were a man," she said with a smile. Most of the time, she admits, more attention is showered upon her. "Wally Renfro (SMS Assis- tant SID) gave her four infor- mation kits at the press gatber- ing before he stopped," said one wag, who may have been stretching the truth. She speaks with authority about baseball, and she recog- nized Curtis Perry when one mentioned the former SMS cage All-American, who was a rookie for the San Diego Rockets the past campaign. She doesn't forget whom she's working for. "Did you know John Cunningham coached the freshman basketball team to a 19-1 mark the pas 6eason?" No, we didn't know. However, Cunningham is the school's baseball coach, and if you add bis diamond record of 34-11 after Friday night, it comes out to a two-sport ledger of 53-12. That isn't bad. She'll also ballyhoo freshman outfielder Kerry Dineen, who entered the tourney with some amazing offensive statistics. She also pointed out another disadvantage. "My appearance is more costly whenever the club travels, The players can double up, but I get a single."

Late arrivals at Thursday night's gathering of NCAA Col- lege Division baseball tourna- ment o{ficials and press mem- bers at the Colonial Hotel could easily discern two centers of at- traction. There was a crowd of people around a table laden with food and another group, perhaps larger, had encircled an attrac- tive blonde woman. "Who's she?" asked a late ar- rival, shoving potato chips into some tasty dip. "Probably connected with the Colonial," opined another, around bites of a huge Swiss che e-,American cheese-ham- muslar -salami sandwich. The mystery was cleared up Friday. "She's the sports infor- mation director at the Univer- sity of San Diego," explained a Southwest Missouri State Col- lege official. * * * Miss Gail DeVore, the center of attention, admits she's a rar- ity in the world of SIDs.
