Che Battalion Volume 61 COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS TUESDAY, APRIL 18, 1967 Number 432 65th Aggie Muster Set Friday On Systems Lawn yfliP"" an alleged “bawdy house” near Brenham. The investigation led to several therats to jurors and children in the Brenham area. Janacek arrived in Brenham a few days after the investigation was begun. “The only problems I had were in getting information from the District Attorney and getting a picture of the house.” “The D.A. did not want the matter publicized,” the reporter said. “He was uncooperative and be came quite angry at some of the questions posed by the press. “He got particularly mad at me because I used a tape record er instead of trying to write down everything he said,” Jana cek quipped. The reporter noted that the people of Brenham, ministers, school officials and law enforce ment officers were cooperative in “many ways.” The one main problem he encountered was in taking photographs of the house. The entrance gate had been locked, and the press was not allowed inside. “Reporters had to walk through a neighboring pasture and crawl under the bushes to get a picture of the house,” Janacek continued. The house was not the only source of information, however. “Rev. Robert Gilpin of the First Methodist Church gave me an ex clusive interview which raised several questions in my mind. He provided me with many other sources of information.” Janacek said he was not alone in the search for facts regarding the incidents. “The local media worked to gether in cornering certain phases of the operation,” he said. “It was the most interesting story that I’ve ever worked,” Jan acek said.
