United Press International
HOUSTON — Witnesses have
told police a motorist beat an Ethio
pian student for 20 minutes before
officers arrived to arrest the student
and take him to jail —- where he col
lapsed and later died.
Medical examiners who ruled
Addis Yohannes, 20, died accidental
ly changed their opinion Tuesday
and listed the death as a homicide.
A car driven by Yohannes and a
vehicle driven by another man col
lided Feb. 2. The other driver told
police Yohannes jumped from his
car, ran toward him and began
throwing punches. The driver said
he fought back in self-defense.
But several witnesses told police
this week that the other motorist was
the aggressor and that he beat
Yohannes with his fists and pounded
the student’s head against a curb.

HOUSTON — Police Chief Harry
Caldwell announced his resignation
Wednesday, ending a turbulent 30-
month tenure that endured the fed
eral prosecution of several officers on
brutality charges and gained grudg
ing praise from segments of the
minority community.
“There are no unresolved ques
tions of integrity hiding under the
rug,” he said at a news conference.
Caldwell told reporters the one
lingering irritant was the national
news media’s characterization of his
department as a lawless bunch of
cowboys and Houston as “cowtown
with buffaloes grazing down Main
Street” during its reporting of the
brutality cases.
Caldwell, 48, is officially leaving
the $56,600-a-year job Feb. 29 after
two weeks vacation to join an invest
ment firm reportedly at twice the
salary.
He said he would make no recom
mendations for a successor but
would advise Mayor Jim McConn if
asked. The mayor has indicated the
choice would be made from inside
the department.
Assistant Chief B.K. Johnson was
named acting chief.
Caldwell has been with the Hous
ton Police Department for 26 years.
During his tenure as chief, he fired a
former chief working as an assistant
after the man was arrested for ob
struction of justice; fired eight other
officers involved in the shooting
deaths of two suspects; and transfer
red to desk jobs two other patrolmen
involved in the fatal shooting of
another prisoner.
“I’m tired,” he told reporters.
“Maybe I haven’t managed my time
very well, but I think I’ve worked
hard to improve relations with the
community. I hope I leave at a time
when the deartment is in its ascen
dancy. ”
Black City Councilman Anthony
Hall, a past critic of Caldwell’s, said
he hoped the mayor would find a
replacement from outside the de
partment with formal training in
dealing with race relations.
“I think Chief Caldwell pnfe
did that better than anybodyij
past," Hall said. “1 didnotcompltv

"I got to thinking that it might im

for us over there,” Joyce said. “At

would not accept presents, but then
they called me back and said, ‘Bring
