Alien flees enslaver
testifies in lawsuit
uilty pleas from three of the
Four defendants.
Prosecutors, who had spent a
week putting on evidence in the
case, claimed the four conspired
to stop black, “hippy” and
Louisiana motorists, arrest them
on false charges and take illegal
bond fees, guns and drugs For
personal use.
Bail bondsman Herbert
Atwood, 53, pleaded guilty to a
reduced charge of failing to re
port a felony. Bondsman James
Browder, 43, pleaded guilty to a
reduced charge of aiding in cov
ering up a felony.
Former deputy Gary Parker,
24, son of convicted ex-Sheriff
James “Humpy” Parker,
pleaded guilty to conspiracy to
violate the civil rights of motor
ists on U.S. 59, including unjus
tified strip-searches of men and
women.
All other charges against the
three were dismissed. U.S. Dis
trict Judge Robert O’Conor
scheduled sentencing for all
three Feb. 17.
Atwood faces up to three
years in prison and a $500 fine.
The most Browder could re
ceive would be five years in pris
on and a $5,000 fine. Parker
could receive up to 10 years in
prison and a $10,000 fine.
The other defendant who
went to trial Nov. 28, former de
puty Robert Rice, 25, did not
make a deal with the govern
ment to plead guilty so his case is
still pending.
The 47-year-old ex-sheriff
was to have gone to trial with the
three. He was named in the same
indictment, but he was under
going psychiatric evaluation in
connection with an earlier wa
ter-torture conviction so his case
was postponed.

TYLER — A Mexican testi
fied Tuesday he and 13 other
illegal aliens fled last February
from the back of a pickup truck
driven by a rifle-toting East Tex
an who had enslaved them on a
tree farm.
Steven Crawford, 20, of Cen
ter and Randall Waggoner, 22,
of Nacogdoches went on trial
Monday in federal court on 24
counts of conspiracy, transport
ing illegal aliens and involuntary
servitude.
A jury of three women and
nine men is hearing the case in
U.S. district Judge William Sie
ger’s courtroom. The trial is ex
pected to last about a week.
Julio Martinez Rios testified
that he and 13 other men were
held at Crawford’s farm for four
days with little food and none of
the $25 a day they had been
promised for planting pine
seedlings.
He said they jumped from
the back of Waggoner’s pickup
last February in Center but were
forced back in a riflepoint by
Waggoner. Moments later when
the truck stopped at a red light,
the aliens again leaped out and
ran to nearby stores where they
got help.
Antonio Arias Cardosa, 26,
testified Monday that Waggoner
put a gun to his head when he
arrived at Crawford’s farm Feb.
12 and told Arias he would kill
him if he tried to escape.
Jose Armando Gonzalez, 29,
of Rock Springs near the Texas-
Mexico border testified Monday
that he hid the aliens in a chicken
coop for two or three days until
Waggoner and Crawford picked
them up in a covered trailer.
Gonzalez said Crawford paid
him $50 for each alien. Gonzalez
pleaded guilty in October to
conspiracy to transport illegal
aliens and one count of trans
porting aliens and will be sent
enced when the trial concludes.

United Press International
NEW ORLEANS — Ninety-
five religious women were pre
vented From traveling to Hon
duras for a four-day peace vigil
at U.S. military bases because
they might destabilize condi
tions in the country, a Hon
duran official said Tuesday.
The women could have be
come victims of “parties trying
to destabilize the government,
said Consul General Francisco
Lopez-Reyes.
“A group of this size, if they
go to a military post and some
thing does happen to them, you
know the government will be
blamed,” he said. “This is
perhaps for their own safety.”
Lopez-Reyes said the women
might themselves be destabiliz
ing elements, though “they
claim to be religious and they
want love and peace.”
The women — Protestant,
Catholic and Jewish leaders
from throughout the U.S. and
Canada — had planned to travel
to Honduras to protest what
they called growing U.S. inter
vention in Latin America.
Lopez-Reyes said the women
were banned under a recently
approved decree staling that re
ligious “groups of any denomi
nation must secure permission
from the foreign ministry be
fore entering Honduras.”
“They cannot travel,” he said.
“They cannot go. That’s all
there is to it. My instructions are
that definitely these people are
not welcome to visit Honduras
right now.”
The women, who were not
permitted to board a SAHSA
airline bound for the Honduran
capital of Tegucigalpa, said they
hoped to relocate their protest at
an army base in the southern
U.S.
“We are not done,” saidlj
ny Golden. “We feel web
carry this message to the
ican people.”
