LAS VEGAS — The lights
started flashing and fellow gamb
lers started gathering around, but
it took some time for Marta Pena
to realize one of her sons could
now go to law school and another
could buy a house.
The Laredo native, having fed
$100 worth of dollar tokens into a
slot machine, had won $385,000.
“At first we were just stunned,
but now I’m beginning to relax,”
she said Wednesday, accepting a
check from the Flamingo Hilton
hotel for her winnings. “I think it
was just luck, plain luck. I don’t
know anything about gambling.”
Mrs. Pena, vacationing with
her lawyer husband, Oscar Pena,
said she did not understand what
was happening in the casino Tues
day night when the five 7s lined up
and bells started ringing.
“I didn’t know I won until a
man next to me told me,” she said,
“and then I thought I won
$5,000.”
She said when she finally
phoned her husband upstairs, he
thought she had won only $385.
When he realized his mistake, he
hurried downstairs.

Mrs. Pena said she planned to
use the money to put her son,
David, through law school. She
also said part of the money would
go to another son, Oscar Jr., to
help him buy a house.

Wore they got to the door. ”
They just had a gas heater
apparently too full and it burned
all the oxygen up,” police spokes
man Bob Love said. “They had
apparently been there for quite
some time.”
Neighbors in the predominant
ly black neighborhood wept as
workers carried out the bodies of
Melvin Bland, 29, his wife Linda,
28, and five of their children —
ranging in age from one to 10
years.
The bodies of the parents were
found in the living room, one child
was in a hallway and the other five
were in the front bedroom, offi
cials said.
“The little girl was under a chair
on the floor,” Page said. “It looked
like one of the little boys was
trying to come out of the bed
room.”
Officials identified the children
as Legina, 10; Melvin Jr., 8; Car
ry, 4; Calvin, 3; and Lekeitha, 1.
Latoya was found alive.
Fire investigators discounted
initial reports that leaking gas kil
led the family.
“The fire captain said they de
tected no gas in the house,” Page
said. “He seemed to think it was
case of asphyxiation and they had
probably been in there since
sometime this morning.”
Love said the neighbor who
found the family “just knew some
thing wasn’t right because he
couldn’t rouse them and he knew
they were in there. So he pushed
through a window air conditioner
and went into the house and found
several bodies.”
