2 EX-CONVICTS HELD IN ARSENAL BURGLARY

   Two ex-convicts were in federal custody Saturday on charges of possessing and concealing a 
small arsenal of automatic weapons taken in the burglary of the National Guard Armory in Terrell 
two weeks ago.
   The pair, Donnell Davis Whitter, 43, and Lawrence Reginald Miller, 33, appeared before U.S. 
Commissioner W. Madden Hill Friday afternoon.
   Both men asked for a hearing on the charges and a time for it was set for 1 p. m., Dec. 9.  
Commissioner Hill followed the recommendation of a $10,000 bond for each man.
   Whitter and Miller were arrested by Dallas police on Nov. 18 following a high speed chase 
through East Dallas.  They finally were apprehended when the sports car the two subjects were 
driving crashed into a utility pole at Gaston and Hall.
   Whitter received severe internal injuries in the crash and Miller cuts and bruises on his 
face.
   Asst. U.S. Atty. B.H. Timmins said Whitter, who has been hospitalized at Parkland Hospital 
since his arrest, will be transferred to the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital in Fort Worth.
   Officers found the weapons - two machine guns, one sub-machine gun, and two Browning 
automatic rifles - on the backseat floor of the car.
