Page 8 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 1979 Strong security measures planned for Henley retrial United Press International CORPUS CHRISTI — Under strong security measures planned for the new trial of mass murder defen dant Elmer Wayne Henley, sheriff s deputies will have the right to search spectators if necessary and citizens will not be allowed to leave the courtroom while the trial is in progress. Henley goes on trial Monday in what is expected to be a sensational new presentation of often gruesome testimony concerning the 1975 slay ings of 27 boys in a Houston homosexual mass murder case. Henley was convicted in 1975 on one of six murder charges in the slay ings of the 27 Houston boys. But the Texas Court of Criminal Apppeals reversed the conviction because a judge in the first trial at San Antonio refused to hold a change of venue hearing. 1—1 846-6714 & 846-11S1 846-6714 & 846-1151 v.

By a 5-1 vote, the board adopted a policy barring citizens appearing at public board meetings from saying things “critical of or damaging to specific personnel.” Board member Jerry N ugent objected, calling the policy one of prior restraint. “When it’s said, it’s said. It just bothers me that we would actually put a restraint on people who come to speak to us,” Nugent said. The Rev. Marvin Griffin, the board chairman, noted he and former trustee Gus Garcia both had been victims of public criticism at board meetings. The Black Citizens Task Force last fall said Griffin was ineffective in representing the black community and demanded his resignation.
