Plea bargain denied
for former sheriff
United Press International
HOUSTON — Calling it
“most inappropriate,” a federal
judge Friday rejected a plea bar
gain for a long-time San Jacinto
County sheriff accused of tor
turing prisoners and subjecting
blacks, women and rock music
fans to strip-searches.
A lawyer for recently-
resigned Sheriff James C.
“Humpy” Parker withdrew the
former East Texas lawman’s
guilty plea after U.S. District
Judge Gabrielle McDonald’s
ruling.
Parker now faces trial and a
maximum penalty of 40 years in
prison and a $30,000 fine. He
was offered three years in prison
and a $15,000 fine in the plea
bargain.
Prosecutors have said Parker
tortured prisoners and sub
jected blacks, women and rock
music fans to strip-searches.
Parker is also charged with ex
torting money from a bail
bondsman.
McDonald said she found the
deal worked out by prosecutors
“most inappropriate,” adding
she based the decision on her
judgment and knowledge of the
law.
Parker, 47, a sheriff since
1969, was prepared under terms
of the agreement to cooperate
with a grand jury’s investigation
of alleged brutality and kick-
backs in the county, his lawyers
said.
Parker resigned from office
immediately after making the
guilty plea March 13 on two
felony civil rights charges and
one extortion charge.
Coldspring city councilman
Robert Brumley was appointed
to complete Parker’s term,
which ends in 1984.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott
Woodward said a three-count
criminal information accused
Parker of water-torturing at
least 15 prisoners, illegally
arresting motorists on the U.S.
59 and extorting money from a
Coldspring bail bondsman.
“On the water tortures, that
was reserved for major felonies
where they could not solve the
crime, but they had a suspect.
They’d bring them in and tor
ture them until they got a con
fession and then take that evi
dence to the prosecutor,” Wood
ward said.
Parker was also charged with
selectively stopping “hippies,”
blacks or motorists with license
plate numbers which indicated
they were from Shreveport, La.,
on the highway and searching
their cars for drugs.
Prosecutors claimed Parker
and some of his deputies some
times damaged taillights or
other equipment on cars to
make it appear the original traf
fic stop was legitimate.
On your mark!
The American Civil Liberties
Union previously filed suit mak
ing many of the accusations
against Parker. The case has not
yet gone to trial.

EL PASO — The many ver
sions of Spanish spoken in bor
der states will be the topic of a
national conference at the Uni
versity of Texas at El Paso.
“We’re not saying ‘ Tex-Mex'
is good or had," Professor Emer
itus Jacob Ornstein-Calicia said
Friday. “There are a number of
different dialects used by Span
ish-speaking peoples of the Un
ited States, and we are saying
that they are deserving of re
search and study.”
The conference, the first of
its kind in the nation, is tenta
tively set for Aug. 1 1-13, he said.
Ornstein-Calicia said the dif-
ievenv dialects of Spanish vary
from state to state, with New
Mexico, Texas, Arizona and
California developing their own
versions of the language.
“The conference will be a sci
entific study of the research
needs of Mexican-A merican-
Spanish,” he said. “The prog
ram will feature people from all
over the country who are in
