Mother attempts suicide ui
after sons returned to c/A
United Press International
HOUSTON — A woman in
dicted for kidnapping her two sons
attempted suicide within hours of
a judge’s decision that returned
the boys to her former husband.
Harriet Berne, 37, was listed in
critical condition and undergoing
tests Tuesday night to determine
whether she suffered brain dam
age when she took an overdose of
prescription medicine earlier in
the day.
Berne, who was using the name
Judy King, was taken to North-
shore Hospital where doctors tre
ated her before she was taken by
helicopter to Hermann Hospital.
“There’s no way of knowing
what she took,’’ Dr. Charles
Owens of Northshore Hospital
said. “There was evidently a lot of
medication around the house. ’’
Just hours before Houston Fire
Department paramedics disco
vered Berne unconscious and in
respiratory arrest, a family court
judge Bruce Wettman ordered
her two sons, Scott, 11, and Mark,
7, be returned to their father.
Dale Berne.
Berne charged his former wife
stole the boys and turned them
against him after moving to Texas
in November.
Berne sat stunned after hearing
Wettman s ruling. She hugged a
friend and hurried from the cour
troom, making no comment to re
porters as she left.
The two boys burst into tears
when they found out they were
being returned to their father.
Scott said, “Why don’t you let us
be with our mom? We asked her to
take us.’’
A fire department spokesman
said the paramedics who took
Berne to Northshore did not find a
suicide note.
Berne, who was to have started
teaching in the Houston Indepen
dent School District this week,
was free on $5,000 bond and facing
extradition to New York.
She was indicted there on
charges of custodial interference
for allegedly stealing the boys af

Speaking at a capital news con
ference, Nugent said that despite
the biggest oil and gas exploration
boom in the state’s history, Texas
is producing less gas and oil each
year.
According to Nugent, the ex
pected decontrol of gas prices in
1985 will only affect about 60 per
cent of U.S. natural gas. Under
current plans for decontrol, Nu

Complicating the situation,
Nugent said, are federal regula
tions that increase the price and
limit the availability of gas pro
duced in the state to intrastate
consumers.
“Unless the. NGPA (Natural
Gas Policy Act) is changed, 1985
will usher in a new era of unequal
prices and unequal access to new
supplies,” Nugent said, “and the
Texas consumer will bear the
brunt of the inequities. ”
“It has to do with the cost and
availability of natural gas, and with
the looming spectre of Texans liv
ing in the midst of rich gas fields,”
Nugent said.
Nugent said Texans are unable
Under the NGPA, interstate
gas discovered before April 20,
1977 termed “old gas,” will sell for
$1.01 a metric cubic foot in 1985.
However, old intrastate gas will
cost $3.29 per metric cubic foot.
