[JACKSONVILLE, Fla. —
Ke man who says Jamiel “Jim
my” Chagra told him he ordered
the assassination of a San Anto
nio federal judge, himself took
part in the 1980 New Mexico
pfison uprising and is the repu
ted head of the so-called “Dixie
Mafia.”
K Jerry Ray James, who was
serving a life sentence at the fed
eral prison in Leavenworth,
HKan., when he met Chagra in
1980, was asked about both mat
ters by defense attorney Oscar
■ Goodman on cross-examination
Friday.
R Earlier, James, testifying for
the government in return for his
release from prison and a
$S50,000 reward, said Chagra
told him in the Leavenworth
prison yard in August 1980,
“You know, I was the one who
had (U.S. District) Judge (John
H.) Wood killed.”
I Chagra is charged with
paving convicted hit man
Charles V. Harrelson $250,000
t<J kill Wood, who was scheduled
to preside at Chagra’s narcotics
trial. Chagra feared a long pris
on sentence from Wood, known
as “Maximum John.”
Wood was shot leaving his San
Antonio home May 29, 1979.
James said Chagra asked him
at different times to have “my
people” kill Henry Wallace, the
key witness against Chagra in a
narcotics trial, Lou Esper, the
man Chagra believed killed his
brother, Lee, in December 1978,
and Harrelson’s wife, Jo Ann, a
convicted conspirator.
He passed this information
on to his FBI contact, he said, as
well as two Chagra proposals
that he provide $40,000 financ
ing and a crew of six to eight
men to off-load up to four ships
carrying Colombian marijuana.
James said Travis Erwin, the
inmate who introduced him to
Chagra at Leavenworth, told
him in late September 1980 that
Chagra had hired Harrelson to
kill Wood. He told the FBI this
on Sept. 28, 1980, when he
offered “to solve the hottest case
in America.” Earlier, he testified
Chagra himself told him of his
alleged role in July 1980.
Seven days after passing on
this first information to the FBI,
Erwin was found dead in his cell.
James and another inmate disc
overed the body. Two days after
Erwin’s death, the Justice De
partment approved the deal
with James.
James said earlier that Erwin,
a friend of Lee Chagra’s, recom
mended Harrelson to Jimmy
Chagra and that he overheard
Chagra telling Erwin the day he
met him, “Charlie was every
thing you said he would be.”
James said he won favor with
Chagra by coming to his aid
when members of the “Mexican
Mafia” and the “Aryan Brother
hood,” two prison gangs, de
manded that Chagra pay
another inmate $1,600 he took
from him in a poker game in
which Chagra thought the other
man cheated him.
“They asked me if I was going
to get involved,” James said. “I
said, ‘Yes.’” The four inmates
who confronted Chagra then
withdrew, he said.

Company
accused
by NRC
United Press International
ARLINGTON — Nuclear
Regulatory Commission offi
cials have accused an Oklahoma
company of violations leading to
the radiation overexposure of
two workers.
The NRC cited Exam Com
pany of Tulsa for three alleged
violations and recommended a
$6,400 fine for the firm.
NRC Regional Administrator
John T. Collins said the recom
mendation, made Wednesday,
resulted from actions of Exam
officials while the company was
doing work near Michigan City,
Ind.
Exam is accused of failing “to
conduct an adequate survey
when using a radiographic exp
osure device on Oct. 4, 1982.”
“This violation contributed to
the overexposure of two work
ers and had the potential of un
necessarily exposing members
of the public to radiation,” the
NRC claimed.
Other violations Exam is ac
cused of include failure to main
tain an acceptable radiation level
at the Indiana site and using a
survey meter that didn’t work
because of battery failure.
Collins said Exam has 30 days
to submit a written response to
the allegations and pay or pro
test the fine.
White’s
budget
planned
United Press International
AUSTIN — Gov. Mark White
will begin preliminary discus
sions with his staff Saturday on
the state budget, hoping to have
the complex spending plan
ready for submission to the
Texas Legislature by Feb. 18.
White’s office said Friday that
the governor will be briefed
Saturday on major budgetary
items that are important to him,
such as education spending.
The Legislative Budget
Board has recommended a
$31.4 billion budget for the fis
cal year 1984-85, and former
Gov. Bill Clements proposed a
$31 billion budget. Both
budgets would increase spend
ing by about 18 percent over the
last biennium.
But White said he had scrap
ped Clements’ recommenda
tions and will be drafting an ori
ginal document.
Under the time table outlined
Friday by White’s office, the
governor will prepare a draft
budget by next Thursday and
have a document finalized by
Feb. 15.
White’s office said the gov
ernor may formally present his
recommended budget to the
Legislature during a speech to a
joint session.
