Chagra family bugged in Wood assassination probe u, „ik, Kit- A,,r Uiil they voted unanimously that souree said. "It w United Press International DALLAS — Federal investiga tors trying to solve the assassina tion of a federal judge used exten sive electronic surveillance to re cord virtually every conversation by members of an El Paso family, a Dallas newspaper reported Sunday. The newspaper said telephone wiretaps and concealed room mic rophones “tagged virtually every telephone call made by ... the El Paso-based Chagra clan.” The Chagra family has been targeted by federal investigators trying to solve the May 29, 1979 assassination of federal Judge John H. Wood Jr. Federal agents have told El Paso attorney Joe Chagra that he is a prime suspect in the case, along with his brother, convicted drug trafficker Jimmy Chagra, and another inmate. A San Antonio newspaper re ported the electronic surveillance “probably will be a major part of the government s case against contract killer Charles Voyde Har- relson and several members” of the Chagra family believed by in vestigators to have “conspired to our own BBQ SANDWICH kill Wood.” The Dallas newspaper reported Joe Chagra and his Dallas attor ney, William Ravkind, apparently learned of the taps Friday during a private meeting in San Antonio with FBI agents. The newspaper said Joe Chagra was not told about the tapes until far into detailed questioning by agents, leading Ravkind to con clude tbat “investigators were at tempting to trap Joe into a per jury situation.” Ravkind said the FBI was not impressed with the results of a pri vate polygraph test Chagra passed recently in Santa Ana, Calif. “We intend to administer another test in Dallas with a polyg- rapher whose reputation is un assailable,” Ravkind said. The Dallas newspaper quoted unnamed sources as saying the wiretaps were authorized under Title III of the U.S. Code and the tapes resulting from the wiretaps probably would be used as an attempt to corroborate the testi mony of Jerry James, a former prison mate of Jimmy Chagra. James, who alledgedly heard Jimmy Chagra brag of a role in Wood’s slaying, was once housed in the same wing as Chagra at Leavenworth federal penitentiary in Kansas. Federal authorities confirmed Saturday they were “protecting” James under the fed eral witness protection program. A San Antonio newspaper re ported Sunday that a group of men held a secret meeting shortly be fore Wood’s assassination at which they Wood must die' The newspaper also reported the same group voted to have Assistant U.S. Attorney James Kerr killed. An attempt was made on Kerr’s life, but he escaped. source said. “It was a sion and they can identify ever body who participated in tl meeting and how they voted. The newspaper said federal officials have frequently described those responsible for Wood’s assassination as part of a criminal organization involved in drug traf ficking.

However, authorities fused to say whether the map led them to the rifle they belie,; was used to shoot Wood.
