itive conta
i His cousin, Charles Gciff,
told officials he shot Martin at
Martin’s request to get public
ity and further the legislator’s
career. Martin then entered a
plea-bargain to a perjury
charge. He agreed to resign
from office and pleaded guil
ty to the misdemeanor charge.
After the shooting, he
failed to appear at grand jury
investigations and offered dif
ferent theories on the case. He
says that was the result of the
trauma of being shot.
“People can’t understand
the fear involved in getting
shot. It causes people to do
stupid things, like running
and hiding,” he said.
Acting as his own lawyer, he
recently filed a federal lawsuit
in Marshall, naming Gregg
County Sheriff Bobby Weav
er, District Attorney Rob Fos
ter, two district attorney inves
tigators and a sheriff’s deputy.
Foster says the suit is ground
less.
Martin alleges they violated
his civil rights when they
arrested him Aug. 21, 1981,
hiding in a speaker cabinet at
his parents’ home in adjacent
Upshur County.
“The wrong people have
won, and that’s why I’m fight
ing back,” he said. “I want the
truth to come out.”

“They said they would not
work for sweatshop wages. It is
absolutely incredible to me that
after five months on the street
they would turn that down,”
Putnam said.

White talks with Gay Caucus
United Press International
HOUSTON — Governor-
elect Mark White, who was en
dorsed by the Houston gay com
munity, met in secret with mem
bers of the group to explain why
the Attorney General’s office
has appealed a Dallas federal
judge’s ruling which gave
homosexuals the same right to
privacy as heterosexuals.
Mary Hardesty, a spokes
woman for White, said Wednes
day that the meeting between
White and members of the
Houston Gay Political Caucus
was a private meeting and would
not elaborate on what was said.
White sought and received an
endorsement from the group in
his quest for the governor’s
office. But it was disclosed that
he filed notice of his intent to
appeal the ruling of U.S. District
Judge jerry Buchrneyer before
he was elected. However, Texas
gays were not aware of White’s
decision until after the endorse
ment was made.
Hardesty said Tuesday that
White was required to appeal
because his oath of office de
mands that he defend state laws
that are challenged. She said he
filed notice even though an
Amarillo-area district attorney
already had began an appeal.
He said if the union does not
agree on a contract by next
week, “then we will ask the judge
to throw out the contract.”
He added: “If they refuse to
negotiate, we’ll set up our own
package. (But) u'e have no inten
tion of going non-union.”
Putnam said not all em
ployees will be called back to
work when the planned joint
venture with PSA is completed.
For example, the flight atten
dants who posed nude or par
tially nude for a recent issue of
Playboy magazine will not be re
hired, but Putnam said it was
only because they lacked
seniority.
