Waiting to continue
Court to hold stay
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The U.S.
Supreme Court refused Mon
day to lift a stay of execution
granted James “Cowboy” Autry
only 31 minutes before he would
have died, and attorneys said
they expected all Texas execu
tions would be put on hold until
the court rules in a California
proportionality case.
The justices rejected an
appeal from Texas Attorney
General Jim Mattox, filed Oct.
17, to allow the execution to pro
ceed because all lower courts
had approved the punishment
for Autry.
“The Supreme Court is appa
rently telling us that the Autry
case will not proceed until the
court rules on the issue of prop
ortionality in the California case.
Pulley vs. Harris,” Mattox said.
“We are chagrined by the
cburt’s decision because it effec
tively prevents the state from
carrying out its necessary duties
in death penalty cases.”
Larry Cantu, Autry’s attorney
from the American Civil Liber
ties Union, said in Houston he
also believed the stay will have
the effect of halting all execu
tions in Texas until there is a
clear ruling on the proportional
ity issue.
“I think no one else is likely to
be executed until the propor
tionality issue has been decided
in the California case,” Cantu
said. “After that, depending on
the outcome of that case, it’s
effect to Texas may have to be
litigated.
The California issue, which
the court will hear arguments on
in November but is not expected
to rule on until at least the
spring, involves Robert Alton
Harris.
In that case, the 9th Circuit
Court of Appeals ruled that a
state’s highest criminal appeals
court should review a death
sentence judgment to determine
if it is handed out proportionally
with other cases in that particu
lar jurisdiction.
Autry’s brush with death by
injection was the third time he
had had an execution stayed.

Court rejects liquor taxes
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The U.S.
Supreme Court Monday re
jected Texas efforts to tax liquor
purchased out-of-state by the
military for sales and consump
tion on its numerous bases with
in the state.
The justices refused, without
comment, to hear claims by
Texas and the TABC that the
U.S. Navy must follow state
codes and buy booze from in
state wholesalers rather than
purchase cheaper liquor from
outside Texas.
Texas Alcoholic Beverage
Control official Allen Johnson
in Austin said the high court’s
decision was disappointing and
could mean a “substantial
amount of lost tax revenue for
Texas.
