Brig. Gen. James L. Dozier,
whose kidnapping by Red Bri
gade terrorists in Italy two years
ago made international head
lines, spoke to the Corps of Ca
dets Tuesday night on interna
tional terrorism and his
experiences with the Red Bri
gade.
“Terrorism is a fact of life in
many parts of the world be
cause it’s a cheap way to attract
international attention to what
you’re doing,” Dozier said. He
added that the U.S. is singled
out for terroristic attacks be
cause of its role as a world
leader. The U.S. also represents
a threat to terrorist objectives,
he said.
Dozier served as deputy chief
of staff, logistics and adminis
tration, for the Allied Land
Forces of Southern Europe
from June 1980 to March 1982.
It was during this tour of duty
that he was kidnapped from his
home in Verona, Italy and held
in captivity for 42 days before
being rescued by Italian police
on Jan. 28, 1982.
Dozier’s wife, Judy, assisted
Brig. Gren. James Dozier
him with the talk. Although the
incident was traumatic for both
of them, they were able talk
about it freely, even pointing
out some humorous aspects of
the international crisis.
“Far more good than bad has
resulted from this incident,
both in the U.S. and Europe,”
Dozier said. His rescue restored
a faith that was lacking in the
Italian government and the
Italian police force. Also, his
kidnappers collaborated with
police after their own arrests,
leading to the arrests of several
other terrorists in Europe.
As for the situation at home,
Dozier said his kidnapping in
creased American patriotism, as
did the hostage crisis in Iran
and other acts of terrorism.
However, Dozier admitted
that the Red Brigade did ac
complish its objective. The ter
rorists proved they were capa
ble of kidnapping a senior
military officer and they embar
rassed the Italian police force.
Two men, disguised as
plumbers, entered Dozier’s
apartment on the evening of
Dec. 17, 1981. After a struggle,
(hey forced Dozier into a small
trunk and carried him to an
apartment across town. They
left Mrs. Dozier chained up in
her apartment.
“I didn’t have time to be
afraid, so 1 was able to think ra
tionally,” Mrs. Dozier said. She
realized they had no plans to
harm her or her husband, as
they were concerned with Doz
ier’s ability to breathe in the
trunk and they left her a key to

GEORGETOWN — The de
fense rested its case Tuesday in
the murder trial of nurse Gen
eric Jones, who took her attor
neys’ advice and decided
against testifying in her own be
half.
Jones, a 33-year-old former
vocational nurse, reportedly
wanted to testify in her trial for
the drug-injection death of 15-
month-old Chelsea McClellan
of Kerrville.
However, her lawyers were
fearful of a hostile confronta
tion between Jones and Kerr
County District Attorney Ron
Sutton.
“We made the decision to not
testify 10 times, and we made
the decision to testify nine
times,” said defense attorney
Laura Little. “It was a constant
seesaw.”
Closing arguments were
scheduled for Wednesday fol
lowing state District Judge John
Carter’s charge to the seven-
woman, five-man jury. Deliber
ations in the five-week trial
were expected to begin
Wednesday afternoon.
Defense attorneys called a to
tal of seven witnesses, most of
whom focused on defense con-
tententions that Chelsea died of
natural causes instead of from
an injection of the powerful
paralyzing drug succinylcho-
line.
a need for a pediatric intensive
care unit in Kerrville’s small
hospital.
Dr. Joseph Balkon, a New
York toxicologist who testified
Monday for the defense, said
complex tests performed in
Sweden on Chelsea’s exhumed
body tissues showed no positive
proof that succinylcholine was
present.
Prosecutors, who called 44
witnesses in the first three-and-
a-half weeks of the trial,
claimed Jones caused emergen
cies in several children to show
Prosecutors attempted to re
but Balkon’s comments on
Tuesday by reading testimony
previously given outside the
jury’s presence by Swedish toxi
cologist Bo Holmstedt, who de
veloped the test that discovered
traces of succinylcholine in
Chelsea’s tissues.

DALLAS — A homosexual
group at Southern Methodist
University tried Tuesday for
the third time in 11 months to
gain student senate recognition
at the conservative church
school. v
A Dallas gay leader, an SMU
alumnus, a faculty member and
students were scheduled to ar
gue the issue at the Tuesday af
ternoon meeting of the student
senate, a spokesman for the gay
group said.
Paul Palmer, co-chairman of
the Cay and Lesbian Student
Support Organization, said he
hoped emotions would not run
as high they have at previous
confrontations.
A Methodist guidebook says
homosexuals are “children of
God” and should not be con
demned. It adds, however, that
it does not condone gay activ
ities.
“We’re going to keep going
until we get it (recognition),”
said Miriam Blake, co-chairwo
man of the organization.
