security guard near the crime
scene.
The man, who was not iden
tified by poUce, was “candid
and cooperative," McBride
said. He told police he had
gone to the hilltop Mulholland
Drive area to look at the city’s
lights.
Cosby’s 27-year-old son had
pulled off Interstate 405 near
Mulholland Drive to change a
flat tire early 'Thursday when
he was shot to death. Police
believe robbery was the
motive.
A $12,500 reward for the
arrest and conviction of the
killer was approved "ruesday
by the Los Angeles County
Board of Supervisors. The
National Enquirer and Glohe
tabloids earlier posted a total
of dlrs 300,000 in rewards.
Across America, the woman
allegedly claiming to be the
illegitimate daughter of Bill
Cosby was ordered held with
out bail in New York.
Jackson, 22, of Los Angeles,
and Jose Medina, 51, of
Bethesda, Ohio, were arrested
Saturday in the New York
office of a Cosby lawyer, where
they allegedly went to discuss
a payoff.
On Thursday, the day Ennis
Cosby was slain, Jackson
allegedly sent a fax to Bill
Cosby’s representative saying
it was “urgent that you contact
me to make certain arrange
ments,” the complaint says. “I
need monies and I need
monies now.”
CBS said it also received a
fax on Thursday. The network
said that one stated that
Cosby’s show one of the net
work’s hest properties and dis
closure that Ms. Jackson was
the entertainer’s illegitimate
daughter would undoubtedly
affect its ratings.
Tony Frost, editor of The
Globe tabloid, said Jackson
and Medina also approached
him the day before Ennis
Cosby was killed. 'The newspa
per began to look into their
story. Frost told the New York
Daily News, but went to the
FBI after Cosby was killed.
Medina’s lawyer, Neil
Checkman, said bis client says
he is a screenwriter and denies
the charges. “I don’t believe he
necessarily knew that any
thing was going on,”
Checkman said.
Jackson’s lawyer, Robert
Baulm, could not be reached
for comment after business
hours Tuesday. A call to the
Legal Aid Society office where
he works was not immediately
returned.

HAM, Ala. -
Old and ail

C. Wallace is
taking on
Hollywood in
a fight that
could deter

new genera

his segregationist past.
A 'Turner Network Television
movie now in production is
being opposed by Wallace and
his relatives. They fear the
film will be unfair to the four-
term governor, who long ago
apologized for his politics of
racial separation.
Meanwhile, Wallace repre
sentatives are negotiating
with Spike Lee over use of an
interview the black film maker
conducted last year with the
four-time presidential candi
date for use in an HBO docu
mentary.
Son George Wallace Jr. said
Tuesday he fears both projects
could result in his father’s rep
utation being smeared 10
years after he left politics and
despite repeated efforts to
make amends.
“I grow a bit weary with peo
ple who were always his critics
saying he has to spend the rest
of his life apologizing,” said the
younger Wallace. “He’s apolo-
