Donald R. Lego, ajoliet roof- appeared in Holiday Court efore Judge Herman Haase, iho asked the suspect if he had in attorney. I “Your Honor, I will repre- cnt myself throughout all of lese proceedings,” said Legco, bo was shackled and wearing iue prison dungarees. His next court appearance fill be Tuesday, when attorneys ill be appointed. Lego was charged in the Aug. stabbing and bludgeon ying of widow Mary Mae obnson, 82. A warrant for his rrestwas issued Friday night on tebasis of what authorities cal- “hard, physical evidence” ‘witness statements.” go was arrested in Lock- icrt Saturday night at a service tation after a tow truck driver hired to pull his car alerted police. Lego acted like “a regular, normal guy like the people I pick up every day," said tow truck driver Frank Sterioti. “He said he was going to Chicago for a roofing job.” Will County State’s Attorney Edward Petka told a news con ference Saturday that author ities have not established any connection between Lego and the 16 other murders, most of them multiple slayings, that have rocked the quiet, working class area since June. But Petka said it would be “foolish not to attempt to Ques tion him” about the series of kill ings after he was arrested. Lego, who was first jailed at age 8 on theft charges in Mis souri, was arrested by Joliet police for attempted murder in 1980, but was released. Illinois Department of Cor rections records quoted Lego as saying he was not sorry for what he had done “and threatened to do it again. He threatened to kill the police chief and Termunde when he got out. He threatened to escape.” by Lauri Reese Battalion Reporter It’s at least five degrees cooler in the kennels of the Brazos County Animal Shelter thanks to window awnings donated by the Humane Society of Brazos County. After being notified earlier this summer that the tempera ture in the kennel areas was ris ing, the humane society raised and donated more than $500 to buy and install the awnings. The humane society has volunteered to donate fans to further cool the kennels if needed, Chris Carter, humane society historian, said. The humane society has don ated more than $20,000 to the animal shelter’s construction fund in the last two years and more than $4,000 to completely equip the shelter’s surgery room. Almost $12,000 of that money was raised in one day, Carter said. Individual members of the humane society donated several thousands of dollars for cages, dog and cat food and a wasber and dryer. They also work regularly as volunteers at the shelter, which opened in January, and meet with the directors of the shelter monthly to keep abreast of what’s going on and provide assistance when needed, Carter said. She said she was amazed when she moved to Bryan that there wasn’t an animal shelter in the area, especially with one of the most prominent veterinary medicine schools in the nation and the annual National Animal Control Conference that is held in College Station. Four or five times a year, the student chapter of the American Veterinary Medicine Associa tion sponsors the humane socie ty’s animal T-shirt sales in the Memorial Student Center. The humane society also re ceives funds from the “sad dog gie” banks placed in stores around Bryan and College Sta tion. In conjunction with Be Kind to Animals Week in May, the humane society sponsored a celebration at Post Oak Mall where they set up a petting zoo and gave out balloons that read, “Animals — it’s their world too.” “We ran out of helium after about the first two hours, but the kids loved it,” Carter said. Another fund-raiser was the Halloween party and Best Animal Costume Contest held in October at the Texas Hall of Fame. All the money received at the door went to the humane society. The humane society plans to expand its program of cruelty to animals education in local schools and its cruelty investiga tion program. A Brazos County resident was recently convicted on an animal cruelty case the humane society has been working on for more than a year. Carter said it had problems getting witnesses to testify but with the help of De puty Sheriff Santos Alvarez and Assistant County Attorney Jack Phariss, the case finally got underway. The accused was sentenced to one year’s proba tion and was given a $750 fine in addition to court costs. The humane society, the first organized group concerned with the welfare of animals in Brazos County, now has more than 300 members and more than 750 people receive the newsletter it puts out every three months. Survey down 4.1 says crime percent United Press International WASHINGTON — The number of people victimized by crime in the United States fell 4.1 percent in 1982, the largest drop since the govern ment began its National Crime Survey 10 years ago, the Justice Department said Sunday. The department’s annual survey said there were 39.8 million incidents of crime against people in 1982, down from 41.5 million in 1981. The National Crime Sur vey, which began 10 years ago, is based on Census Bureau in terviews with 132,000 people in 58,000 households. It measures rape, robbery, assaults, personal larceny, motor vehicle theft, house hold burglaries and house hold larcenies. Murder is not included since the survey is based on interviews with crime victims. “When there are relatively fewer young people in the population, crime would be expected to decline,” he said. Schlesinger said the drop also may be due to longer, tougher prison sentences and the record number of crimin als in state and federal prisons. The latest National Crime Survey found the largest crime reduction, a 10 percent decline, occurred in house hold burglaries, which drop ped from 7.3 million in 1981 to 6.6 million in 1982. T he survey reporied some 6.5 million violent crimes — rapes, personal robberies and assaults — in 1982. It said, however, the 1982 rate of vio lent crimes did not differ sig nificantly from most of the fi gures over the past 10 years. Rapes were down 14 per cent, personal robbery drop ped 3 percent, assault was down 1 percent, personal lar ceny with contact was down 5 percent; personal larceny without contact was down 2 percent and motor vehicle theft was down 4 percent, it said.
