AUSTIN — Felons who have
completed their imprisonment
would have their voting rights
restored under a bill that has
cleared a House committee.
Members of the House Elec
tions Committee voted 7-2 —
along Democrat-Republican
lines, respectively — Tuesday in
favor of the measure which has
failed in previous legislative ses
sions to gain either final House
passage or the governor’s signa
ture.
Rep. El Franco Lee, D-
Houston, told the committee his
bill would “give a second chance
to those people who have paid
their debt to society.” The mea
sure also drew support from the
League of Women Voters of
Texas.
“We just think it’s extremely
unfair that a person once con
victed should be forever
punished,” said League spokes
man Lois Carpenter, who
termed current law “vindictive.”

DALLAS — Seven New
Orleans policemen illegally
jailed and beat blacks who were
potential witnesses to the slaying
of a fellow officer, and took two
of them to an isolated wooded
area where they were
threatened with guns, the gov
ernment contends.
Prosecutors will present their
first witness today in the federal
civil rights trial of the officers, all
of whom are white.
In her opening statement,
attorney Linda Hagerty of the
Justice Department’s Civil
Rights Division described a
nightmarish sequence of uncon
stitutional acts she said followed
the shooting death of patrolman
Gregory Neupert on Nov. 8,
1980, in the Algiers section of
the city.
The government’s chief wit
ness will be New Orleans homi
cide Detective Oris Buckner, a
10-year veteran of the force.
Buckner, who is black, has been
granted immunity from pro
secution for his testimony that
he saw and participated in some
of the alleged beatings.
“Oris Buckner will identify
the detectives who beat (Robert)
Davis and (Johnny) Brownlee,”
said Ms. Hagerty.
“Mr. Davis was tied to a chair,
he was hit many times over the
head with a large book and he
had a bag placed over his head to
cut off his air.”
Ms. Hagerty said Brownlee
suffered the same mistreatment,
known among New Orleans
police officers as “beating, bag
ging and booking,” and that
both men were held in custody
more than 12 hours, although
neither was charged with any
crime.
She said both men had witnes
sed events related to Neupert’s
death, but neither had the kind
of information police wanted,
such as the names of Neupert’s
killers. Those killers have never
been found.
The most terrifying part of
the men’s ordeal, she said, came
when they were taken to a sec
luded wooded area southwest of
Algiers where, on an old,
broken-down bridge, they were
threatened with guns.
“Brownlee was told he would
be shot and h^d a shot fired be
hind his head,” Ms. Hagerty
said. After that, both men gave
police tape-recorded state
ments.
“The police later gaveJohnny
Brownlee $1,900 for the names
and information that they had
forced him to give them.”
“They (the policemen) were
willing to take whatever evi
dence they could get by any
means,” Ms. Hagerty said.
Brownlee and Davis each
have filed suit against the city of
New Orleans for $3.65 million,
plus $1 million in punitive dam
ages and attorney’s fees. Brown
lee’s wife has sued for $2.3 mil
lion, plus $750,000 punitive
damages and attorney’s fees,
and is asking for an additional
$300,000 for their son.
