He appealed for anyone with information on the killings to call the Longview Crimestop- pers telephone number. Infor mation given to that number is kept in confidence and can re sult in a reward if it leads to an arrest and indictment, lie said. The victims’ bodies were dis covered Tuesday morning by relatives. The three were lying on their backs on the floor of a bedroom in their trailer home, located about a quarter mile from the nearest neighbors. They had apparently been dead since Monday afternoon. Their car was found Wednes day about 50 miles away in Tyler, parked at a hospital. No ble said officers watched the car for several hours in hopes the killer or killers would return to it, then impounded and searched it. “They took something like three hours to go over that car,” Noble said. “We got some smudges as far as fingerprints. As far as any other physical evi dence there was almost nothing there.” “We re going back over our steps so to speak,” Noble said Thursday. “We’re going to re- interview just about everyone. We’re getting a numbeh of phone calls, various and sundry pieces of information. “We’re checking out every lead possible. We have ruled out nothing,” he said. United Press International FALFURRIAS — Two Mexi can nationals killed in the trunk of a smuggler’s car that was struck from behind by a Border Patrol vehicle on a dark, dusty road brought to six the number of illegal aliens who have died in mishaps while trying to enter the country the past five days. Larry Teveraugh, chief of the Laredo Border Patrol Sec tor, said the latest deaths hap pened Wednesday night 18 miles west of Falfurrias while Border Patrolmen were trying to stop a car and a pickup truck jammed with aliens that were traveling with their lights off along a farm-to-market road. Four Salvadoran aliens were killed and several others were injured last weekend near Kingsville, only a few miles east of Wednesday night’s accident, when a freight train came upon a group of about 40 aliens cross ing a railroad trestle. Many in the group — also suspected of being abandoned by “coyotes” — jumped or fell to the rocky creekbank below to escape be ing struck. The Falfurrias-Kingsville area is a prime route north of il legal aliens from Mexico, El Sal vador and other Central Ameri can countries who have been coming in record numbers this spring. Border Patrol officials said. A Border Patrol aircraft Thursday was flying over the Falfurrias area trying to find the drivers of the two vehicles who abandoned 37 aliens and fled into the brush Wednesday. Teverbaugh said that Falfur rias Border Patrol agent Robert Handy was chasing the car with at least 16 people -— two of them suspected of being Hon durans and the others from Mexico — who had crossed the border illegally, when Handy’s car plowed into the back of the car which suddenly stopped. Julio Bustos Piedras, 16, and Alejandro Hernandez Diaz, 21, two of four aliens packed into the trunk, were killed instantly in the collision. A third man in the trunk, identified as Grabiel Urquiza, was in critical condition at Cor pus Cfiristi’s Memorial Hospi tal. Five other people were treated for their injuries at Brooks County Hospital in Fal furrias, including Handy who was in stable condition Thurs day with head and facial inju ries and a possible broken wrist. Teverbaugh said the car and pickup truck both refused to some get. Bui They wo killed in crash Df vintage airplane United Press International iany oppo*>AN ANTONIO — A vet- get.

The $40,000 plane belonged to the Alamo Wing of the Con federate Air Force, which re stores and flys vintage aircraft. Col. Bob Griffin, spokesman at the CAF headquarters in Harlingen, said the crash was only the third of a CAF-owned aircraft during the organiza tion’s 26-year history, although other planes privately owned by CAF members have been in volved in accidents. “We get blamed for almost every crash that occurs, but our safety record over the years is excellent, evidenced by our very low insurance rate from Lloyds of London,” Griffin said. Ed Martinez, a local official of the Federal Aviation Admin istration, said a federal inspec tor was dispatched to the scene Thursday to determine the cause of the crash.

The driver bailed out and ran and did get away,” Te verbaugh said. He said 22 aliens were taken into custody from the pickup truck. “One of the officers got back in his car and pursued the 1976 Chevy sedan four-door. It went two or three miles, turned up a dirt road that was very dusty. “Approximately a half mile, the driver slammed on his brakes and jumped out of the car. The Pursuing car, obscured by sand and dust, ran into it.” He said the driver of the car also got away, but 15 aliens were left behind. Teveraugh said alien smug glers often abandon their loads of aliens in South Texas. “It’s been going on all along. It’s not unusual for them to run, break through a fence and abandon the load and try to es cape in the brush. It’s a com mon occurance,” the Border Patrol chief said. Officials in the Falfurrias- Kingsville area say the region is a prime route north for illegal aliens from Mexico, El Salvador- arid other Central American countries. We Buy Used Books Everyday!
