Gramm, a U.S. Senate can didate, made the remark in response to one of his com petitor’s campaign advertise ments. In his ads, candidate Rob Mossbacher refers to himself as a “lifelong Republican.” Halbouty, a Houston oil man who serves on Mossbacher’s steering com mittee and also is a member of President Reagan’s re-elec tion finance committee, said that “as a lifelong, living Re publican he was disappointed and insulted” by Gramm’s re marks. “Our party welcomes con verts to its ranks and we cer tainly welcome — and need — Phil Gramm,” Halbouty said, “but we should not toler ate such negativism toward the people who built this party and remain dedicated to its conservative principles.” Prosecution rests in Jones trial United Press International GEORGETOWN — Prosecu tors rested their case Tuesday against murder defendant Gen- ene Jones, accusing the nurse of killing a baby girl as part of a scheme to start a pediatric in tensive care unit in a tiny coun try hospital. After a one-day break Wednesday, the defense planned to begin presenting ev idence Thursday. Defense law yers refused to say whether Jones would testify. Forty-four witnesses testified over 14 days against Jones, a 33- year-old mother of two charged with killing 15-month-old Chel sea McClellan by injecting her with a powerful paralyzing Jury debates death sentence for convicted killer Moreno United Press International RICHMOND — Prosecutors Tuesday asked a jury to impose a death sentence on Eliseo Moreno who was convicted of killing a state trooper in what police say was a six-killing ram page triggered by marital prob lems. Moreno, 25, was convicted Monday of capital murder in the shooting of Trooper Russell Lynn Boyd, 25. He also is charged with five other killings in Hempstead and College Sta tion on Oct. 11 but awaits trial I in those cases. In order to impose the death sentence, the jury had to decide Moreno acted deliberately and constituted a continuing threat to society. The only alternative sentence was life in prison. Among witnesses testifying in support of the death penalty for Moreno were managers of two Bryan stores. They told jurors Moreno bought two handguns from them Oct. 11, the day he killed Boyd north of Hemp stead. Testimony showed Moreno bought .25 and .22 caliber pis tols and that a .357 pistol —later identified as the gun that killed Boyd — was stolen from a gun cabinet in one of the stores the morning of the killings. Another prosecution witness was Raymond Reyna of Donna, the ex-husband of Moreno’s es tranged wife Blanca, who testi fied Moreno assaulted him last summer in the parking lot of a grocery store. Reyna said he Moreno to stay w Hightower apologizes to Krueger for mailing of unauthorized letter United Press International AUSTIN — Agriculture Commissioner Jim Hightower apologized Tuesday to U.S. Senate candidate Bob Krueger because a letter bearing his sig nature and criticizing Krueger was mailed without his authori zation by another candidate, Lloyd Doggett. In the letter of apology, Hightower called the incident “an extremely unfortunate mix- up.” Hightower has endorsed Doggett, an Austin state sen ator. “I want you to know that crit icisms in the letter do not come from me and I regret that my name is attached to them,” Hightower said. “I hold you in high personal regard, and I never would have signed such a letter had I seen it in advance.” Doggett was not immediately available for comment. In the unauthorized letter, which apparently wag drafted by Doggett’s campaign workers, Hightower purportedly blasts Krueger for voting against jobs bills, food stamps, day care cen ters and heating assistance for the elderly. The letter also is critical of Senate candidates Kent Hance and Phil Gramm. At a Capitol news confer- ence, Krueger said the incident was one in a series of misrepre sentations by Doggett. “I guess I’ve been used to Lloyd Doggett misrepresenting me for a long time,” Krueger said, “it looks now like he has not stopped at misrepresenting the people who are seeking the same office he is.” Krueger said the unauthor ized letter must have been mailed to “thousands of Tex ans” because he even received one at his New Braunfels home. After Krueger’s news confer ence, Hightower said that though he supports Doggett, he also seeks party unity. .TEXAS AGGIE MOTORCYCLE CLUB The Texas Aggie Motorcycle Club presents: “Take It To The Limit” starring Eddie Lawson & Kenny Roberts 7:00 p.m. Wed.

She also has been charged with injuring six other children in Kerrville, where she worked for pediatrician Dr. Kathleen Holland for five weeks in 1982. Those six children survived. The physician whose suspi cions led to an investigation of nurse Genene Jones testified Tuesday there was enough muscle relaxant missing from the clinic where Jones worked to paralyze four adult men. Dr. Frank Bradley, an anes thesiologist at Sid Peterson Hos pital in Kerrville, said what was missing — one vial plus five- sixths of another vial of the drug Anectine — would have been plenty to paralyze and stop the breathing of at least six children. Previous witnesses testified three bottles of Anectine were ordered for the clinic. One was never opened, another disap peared and was never ac counted for, and the third had been depleted of five-sixths of its contents, then refilled with a saltwater solution. “That is enough Anectine to paralyze four average-size men, 150 to 160 pounds,” Bradley testified. Bradley said the jerky body movements he observed in a child brought into the hospital emergency room on Sept. 23, 1982, could only have occurred in someone recovering from a brief paralysis caused by a dose of the drug. “This child exhibited the same type phenomenon we see when we give Anectine in the operating room,” Bradley said. “There is not another physical phenomenon I’m aware of (that would cause the symptoms.) I don’t know of anything else that could mimic that.” The child Bradley observ was 5-month-old Rolinda Ru the last of several patients Holland who suddenly stopp 1 breathing and displayed s zure-like symptoms shortly ter being left alone with Jon? Ghelsea had died a week earlil Bradley said he contact hospital authorities the sav. day he saw Rolinda. Blanca, who at that time was es-. tranged from Reyna. Reyna said Moreno knocked him down and repeatedly hit him in the face with a can of peanuts. The injury required stitches, he said. Moreno also is charged with the Oct. 11 killing of two of his in-laws, Juan Garza, 30, and his wife, Esther, 31, in their College Station apartment after a day long argument over Blanca. He also is charged with kill ing three other people the same day — Ann Bennatt, 70, her brother, James, 71, and neigh bor Allie Wilkins, 79 — at the Bennatt’s house in Hempstead. Police charge Moreno sought help in fleeing from the police T had warned and the Bennatts and Wilkins away from did not act quickly enough.
