Elderly woman
dies of poison
United Press International
SAVOY — State and county offi
cials Monday investigated the death
of an elderly woman served cleaning
solvent instead of juice at a nursing
home that relatives of another pa
tient complained is chronically un
derstaffed.
At the order of Justice of the
Peace Don Jones, investigators from
the Fannin County sheriffs office,
the district attorney’s office and the
Texas Department of Health Mon
day toured the 47-patient Savoy
Nursing Home, located 60 miles
north of Dallas, and questioned em
ployees at the facility.
Doric Emerson, 83, died Saturday
afternoon at the Fannin County
Hospital after being served two
glasses of ChemCan, a red-colored
cleaner apparently mistaken for
cranberry juice, said hospital admin
istrator Bill Johnson.
Emma Zuver, 57, also drank two
glasses of the cleaning fluid for din
ner Friday. She was reported in sat
isfactory condition Monday with sec
ond-degree burns in her mouth and
throat, officials at the Texoma Medi
cal Center in Denison said.
Five other women patients drank
the cleaner, but did not require hos
pitalization.
All of those involved in the inci
dent were total care patients who
were unable to feed themselves, said
Fannin County District Attorney
Dan Meehan. The cleaner had only
a slight odor and was the color and
texture of red juice.
One of the two investigators from
the health department, which li
censes the state’s 1,100 nursing
homes, was a nurse who examined
the five patients still at the home
Monday and said they appeared to
be in good condition.
Meehan, who stressed that he was
conducting an inquiry rather than a
criminal investigation, said he had
no indications of a criminal act in the
incident.
The solvent apparently was
poured into a bottle that usually is
used to serve cranberry juice to the
residents.
GOP campaigns
against White
United Press International
AUSTIN — Gov. Mark White’s
promise in 1982 that he would not
raise taxes if elected governor will be
splashed on billboards to remind
voters of his broken campaign
promises, the chairman of the Texas
Republican Party said Monday.
George Strake of Houston said
the billboard campaign is part of a
“political educational effort” that
will be mounted statewide to focus
on the failures of White’s adminis
tration.
Strake announced the campaign
at a news conference held beneath a
billboard near the state Gapitol,
which quoted White as saying: “...
there will be no new taxes for Tex
ans when I am governor.”
White made the statement in an
Oct. 10, 1982, interview with the
Fort Worth Star-Telegram while he
was running for governor, Strake
said.
White, a Democrat, is proposing
in the current special session of the
Texas Legislature a three-year, $4.8
billion tax increase for education
and highways. It would be the larg
est tax increase in the state’s history
and the first since 1971.
“This is the beginning of a cam
paign to point out some of the bro
ken promises of Gov. White,” Strake
said. “We are hoping this will spur
the taxpayers to put their hand over
their wallet, take a look toward Aus
tin and make sure these people are
not going to spend them into obliv
ion.”
Strake said Republicans are not
opposed to education reforms, but
he said the Legislature should first
look for additional funds through
cuts in the current budget.
“What we think can be done is to
look for ways to save money in the
current budget,” he said. “We think
teachers can have their pay raise.
Maybe not 24 percent, but certainly
a substantial pay raise.”
Strake said the GOP had pre
viously identified some $500 million
in fat that could be trimmed from
the state’s two-year, $32 billion bud
get.
White has said he would not ob
ject to the current budget being re
viewed, but he contends there is not
enough time in the special session to
go through the entire budget. The
session ends July 3.
Strake said the Republican Party
is not ruling out the possibility that
new taxes will be needed, but he said
budget cuts should be the first prior-
ity.

Woman says she was go-between
Baby smuggling testimony heard
United Press International
LAREDO — A woman testified
Monday she was a go-between in a
ring that located destitute pregnant
women in Mexico and arranged to
smuggle their babies into the United
States for adoption by couples who
paid up to $2,000.
San Juana Martinez Lopez, an un
married mother of seven, told U.S.
District Judge George Kazen she
acted on instructions from Nelda
Colwell, 39, of Layton, Utah, in ar
ranging for a second woman to
transport the Mexican babies across
the Rio Grande from neighboring
Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.
She said she also arranged for a
third woman, a midwife, to falsify
documents showing the babies were
born in Laredo.
Colwell pleaded innocent to three
counts of a federal grand jury indict
ment in the alleged baby-smuggling
scheme and asked for a non-jury
trial that began Monday.
Martinez and two other Laredo
women pleaded guilty in Kazen’s
court last month and agreed to tes
tify for the government.
Prosecutor David Almaraz said in
his opening statement he would
show that Colwell at first legally
adopted newborn children in Mex
ico, but became “obsessed” with plac
ing children in homes of “baby-
starved parents” and about a year
ago, began looking for shortcuts to
get the infants across the border.
Almaraz said at least five Mexican
babies were smuggled into Laredo
and that midwife Juanita Melendez
Calderon, who also pleaded guilty,
falsely registered them as being born
in Texas.
The Mexican mothers then went
to Laredo attorney Sharon Trigo,
who is helping Utah attorney
George Handy defend Colwell, and
signed relinquishment papers and
began adoption procedures.
Martinez testified the adoptive
parents paid all the fees.
She said she received $100 to
$200 for helping locate the babies
and asking the impoverished moth-
• desperal
ers if they wanted to give them
for adoption.
Handy said his client had noinc
cation that the babies were brouj
into the country illegally and
only trying to operate a non-]
service to obtain babies for
parents in Utah.
“This is a story of people wholod
children and want children buitat|
have children,” Handy said in
opening argument. “They new
profited in any way except to
people happiness.”
However, one of the Mail
mothers who signed papers
quishing her infant son last Mai
has changed her mind and now
she wants the baby back.

Five Ohio family members die in car collision
United Press International
SAVOY — Five members of an
Ohio family making a new life in
Texas died with the 2-year-old son
of a friend in a head-on collision
caused by an ex-convict and drug
addict who was driving drunk, a
highway trooper said Monday.
Authorities said the Sunday eve
ning accident virtually wiped out the
Crunkilton family of the Bellview,
Ohio, area, leaving only 18-year-old
David, who had remained in Ohio to
graduate from high school. David’s
mother had died in February.
Also killed was a 2-year-old boy
whose mother heard about the acci
dent on the radio, raced to the scene
and became hysterical when she saw
her son dead on the road, officers
said.
The accident happened on High
way 82 between Savoy and Ector, 60
miles north of Dallas, at about 6:40
p.m. Sunday.
Department of Public Safety
trooper R.L. Dorrough said Jimmy
Harrell Bilyeu, 29, of Savoy was
driving with no license, no insurance
and a cooler of beer in his van when
he collided with a car driven by
Harry Crunkilton of the Bellview,
Ohio, area.
Bilyeu is in serious condition to
day at Texoma Medical Center in
Denison, hospital officials said.
“I can prove he was on the wrong
side of the road,” the trooper said.
“I’m wailing for blood and urine
tests on the DWI.
“I could smell (liquor). I talked to
him,” said Dorrough, who said the
accident would be referred to the
Fannin County grand jury.
Dorrough said Bilyeu has served
prison terms for burglary, larceny,
forgery, fraud, drugs and escaping
from prison. The trooper said Bi-
lyeu’s drug habit led to the amputa
tion of both legs while he was in the
Texas Department of Corrections.

said. “They had to amputate.”
