out bond in connection with the
death of Edward Higgason, 21, iden
tified only as a transient, whose body
was discovered early Tuesday in a
creek bed east of town by Kerr Coun
ty Sheriff Paul Fields.
Higgason was suspected of being
involved in the rape and robbery of a
San Antonio woman who was en
route to Kerrville late Monday, au
thorities said.
The woman was forced into her car
by two men at a roadside stop on
Interstate 10, about 8 miles south
east of Kerrville, Fields said.
Fields said the woman was robbed
of her money and jewelry, and a
female accomplice, waiting in a near
by car, returned to Kerrville at that
point.
The two men drove the woman’s
car toward Kerrville and along the
way, said Fields, they “leisurely
raped her.”
After the rape, Fields said an argu

the two men and one “smoked his
partner and left him in the creek
bed.”
The remaining suspect and the
woman continued to Kerrville where
they were joined by the female
accomplice. Fields said. The trio left
for Houston in the kidnapped
woman’s car, apparently intending
to hold her for ransom, he said.
The San Antonio woman escaped
at a rest stop near Flatonia, Fields
said, and managed to alert someone
nearby who called the authorities.
Fields said his office was contacted
about the kidnapping and put out a
bulletin on the woman’s car. A short
time later, Johnson and Gonzalez
were arrested at Sealy and taken to
the Austin County Jail at Bellville.
Following the arrest of the pair,
Fields said, his department was able
to determine where the shooting
occurred. He said a .44 magnum pis
tol, believed to be the murder
weapon, was recovered.
Assistant District Attorney
Stephens Abies of the 198th district,
said Tuesday authorities had not
linked the crime spree to the March
deaths of two San Antonio men found
slain near an Interstate 10 roadside
park.
The bodies of Robert Skinner, 21,
an Abilene Christian University stu
dent, and Clifton P. Yates, were
found hours apart on March 24. Skin
ner had been dead about a week, but
Yates apparently died the day his
body was found, authorities said.

United Press International
DALLAS — Gov. Bill Cle
ments Tuesday predicted laws
ments luesday predicted laws
will be introduced to restrict the
sale of drug paraphernalia in
Texas and to permit the use of
wiretaps in cases involving drug
dealers.
Clements and H. Ross Perot,
chairman of the Texas War on
Drugs Committee, addressed the
problem of drug trafficking and
the selling of drug paraphernalia
during a luncheon of the Greater
Dallas Crime Commission and at
a news conference.
The officials outfined a three
pronged program to curb drug
use and traffic in the state.
“I can guarantee that as long as
I am governor, emphasis (on the
drug problem) will increase,”
Clements said. "We will con
stantly increase pressure. The
program will get stronger. We
will persist, believe me.”
At the news conference, Cle
ments said he supports legislation
allowing wiretaps on the phones
of suspected drug dealers.
When asked whether such
legislation would endanger the
privacy of the citizens of Texas he
replied: “I think that kind of sen
timent is sheer nonsense. It’s not
invading anyone’s privacy except
the criminals’. Personally it bores
me to hear bleeding heart state
ments from those who oppose it. ”
Perot said the program being
developed to deal with Texas’ in
creasing drug problem will de
pend on grassroot support in the
state. He said the first step will be
to educate parents and children
to the dangers of drug use.
He said his committee also had
organized a panel that wilbldr
national laws dealing with 4i|
use and drug trafficking,
compile a proposed setoflawif^
