Inmate searches lawbooks
for way to win freedom
United Press International
HUNTSVILLE — Ovide
Joseph Dugas Jr., a former refin
ery worker convicted of killing a
2-year-old child, has become a
jailhouse lawyer in his attempts to
find a way io freedom from death
row.
“We are allowed to order five
lawbooks each day except Sunday,
when the mail cart doesn’t come
around,” Dugas said, adding he
always orders the maximum.
Dugas, in his first interview
since arriving at death row at the
Ellis Unit of the Texas Depart
ment of Corrections 18 months
ago, said during the weekend that
he was having problems getting
information from his court-
appointed attorneys, so he has be
gun delving into the law himself.
“People who depend on their
lawyers can often get shafted,” he
said. “If you have to depend on a

theain i AUSTIN — The Senate refused
it got intoll I Monday to consider a bill that
would have provided for all prop
erty of a husband or wife who died
in Texas without a will to be inher
ited by the spouse.
Current state law provides that
insuch cases, one-half the proper
ty belonging to the deceased goes
(1; tO me surviving spouse, and the
! other half to the children.
Sen. Lloyd Doggett, D-Austin,
said the probate section of the
| State Bar had proposed the
change, but it ran into strong
opposition in the Senate. Dog-
gett’s motion to have it debated
failed 11-20, receiving only half
the 21 votes needed for considera
tion.
Sen. Tati Santiesteban, D-El
Paso, lead the opposition to the
bill, arguing the proposal would
allow a surviving spouse “to do
whatever he wants with the prop
erty that for years and years has
belonged to the children.”
“With your bill, a husband can
die and his wife can remarry some
body else who can influence her to
sell the property, and the surviv
ing minor children will he left with
nothing,” Santiesteban said.
Sen. E.L. Short, D-Tahoka,
suggested Doggett’s bill was an
attempt by lawyers to force all
Texans to have written wills.

court-appointed attorney, you can
get left in the dark. I go through
every case, read every opinion to
see if there’s something there I
can use in my case.”
Dugas, 34, is on death row for
the 1978 death of Jason Phillips of
Woodward, Okla. Murder
charges still are pending against
him in the deaths of four other
members of the Bishop Phillips
family.
He said he currently is waiting
for his lawyer to file an appeal of
his 1979 conviction.
Last week, he filed a writ of
mandamus to force Jefferson
County officials to either drop the
four other murder charges or
bring him to trial.
“They’re holding them over my
head in case I get off on appeal. ”
The Phillips, including three
Oklahoma family members visit
ing during the Fourth of July
weekend, were abducted from a
farmhome outside Winnie, Texas,
bound, shot in the head and
buried in a mass grave 10 miles
away. Dugas had been married to
Phillips’ daughter, Mary.
Also convicted in the case was
Linda May Burnett, 33, of Neder
land, Dugas’ lover. He claimed he
only intended to scare the family
but Burnett forced him to kill the
child while she shot the four other
people. Burnett claimed she was
an innocent pawn in Dugas’
attempts to get revenge on his for
mer in-laws.
In the meantime, he is trying to
learn law and helping fellow in
mates with their legal problems.
He estimated about half of the
death row inmates study law and
most are unhappy with their attor
neys, particularly those who
fought charges with court-
appointed attorneys.
During his trial, Dugas claimed
he was drugged and beaten while
in the Chambers County Jail, and
his confession was coerced. He
filed a nearly $2.1 million civil
rights lawsuit last July against five
law enforcement officers in Cham
bers and Jefferson counties. He
contends he was denied his civil
rights and signed a confession
“under great fear for his life.”
He said three of those named in
the suit punched him in the sto
mach, elbowed his head and neck
and “slapped me up the side of the
head” during his interrogation.
