AUSTIN — The Texas Court of
Criminal Appeals Wednesday re
versed the five-year prison term
given an Orange man for killing his
ex-wife’s husband. The decision was
made because the man was not
allowed to have a copy of the grand
jury testimony of his son.
Tillman Pat Holfpauir was con
victed of killing Gerald Lacy on Aug.
10, 1976. Lacy was married to Holf
pauir s former wife. She testified that
Lacy had compelled her to marry
him by threatening to kill her.
Hoffpauir’s son — Tillman Pat
Hofipauir — was called to testify,
and said he had never seen Lacy
sober.
Then Hofipauir’s attorney asked
for a copy of the younger Hoffpauir’s
testimony to the grand jury, but the
request was denied. t

Family alcoholic
enter to open
United Press International
AUSTIN — A rehabilitation facil-
- ity for women alcoholics and their
children — the first such program in
the state — is scheduled to be
opened soon.
: Frances Hamm, interim project
director of Family House, said the
Austin women’s center was sche
duled to be opened on Tuesday, but
a minor technicality that must be
Worked out with the city will delay
the opening for two or three weeks.
Hamm said Family House would
■'not resemble other halfway houses
because the program is geared to
family counseling.
; “The overall goal of Family House
is to promote the goals of the family
and family unity,” she said. “We’re
trying to provide the kind of environ
ment that can help women to get
closer to their families, to cope with
their illness and grow.”
Bonnie Orr, director of education
for the Texas Commission on Alco
holism, said there was a valid reason
for limiting the program to alcoholic
women and their children.
“Men and women begin to have
relationships and sometimes that be
comes more important than dealing
with their alcohol problem,” she
said.
However, Hamm said husbands of
the alcoholic women will be allowed
to join in family counseling sessions.
Besides the guidance given the
women to alleviate their drinking
problem, the program will place a
major emphasis on giving the chil
dren evaluation and counseling too,
Hamm said.
“A lot of people don’t realize the
children of alcoholics have prob
lems, too,” Hamm said.
“Alcoholism is a family illness, not
just an individual illness, and the en
tire family suffers. It is important
that children of alcoholics be evalu
ated.”

Wednesday concerning the arrest of
espassing suspect, 17, implicated

ost brutal slaying.

leased 12 days after Lawrence’s
death, but there were no other de
tails.
Lawrence had been watching tele
vision in her home about 11 p.m.
Oct. 26, when someone entered and
stabbed her 21 times with a 10-inch
knife. Her three children slept in
bedrooms nearby unaware of their
mother’s death.
On the second anniversary of their
marriage, David Lawrence took the
extraordinary step of publicly asking
his wife’s killer to surrender.
