with about 2,000 to 2,500 inmates, to
find three to five weapons would be
a concern,” he said.
“But this is astronomical,” he said
of the discovery of 489 weapons at
the Coffield Unit near Palestine last
month.

“The staff is going to do a shake-
down in that section,” TDC spokes
man Phil Guthrie said in Huntsville.
“The rest of the prison is normal.
We don’t know how long the lock-
down will last.”
In addition to the stabbings at
Coffield, an inmate at the Darring-
ton Unit was cut on the nose and
face late Wednesday morning and
an inmate at the Beto 1 Unit near
Palestine was stabbed in the stomach
Tuesday night.
A 30-member search team is be
ing formed by Procunier to assist
wardens at the 26 Texas prison units
in controlling the flow of weapons.

Jury hands down guilty verdict
to Lutheran minister in Kansas

United Press International
EMPORIA, Kan. — A jury
Wednesday found a Lutheran min
ister guilty of soliciting the murder
of his former church secretary’s hus
band in a plot prosecutors said was
motivated by love and greed.
The Rev. Thomas Bird, who
claimed he was innocent of both
criminal solicitation and having an
affair with his secretary, looked
down when the guilty verdict was
read but otherwise showed no emo
tion. He refused to comment as he
left the court room.
The jury announced its verdict at
10:50 a.m., closing eight hours of
deliberations that began Tuesday af
ternoon.
Bird, 33, was accused of plotting
in May 1983 with his former secre
tary, Lorna Anderson, and another
Emporia man to kill her husband,
Martin. Anderson died of three gun
shot wounds to the head in Novem
ber 1983 along a dark Geary County
road he and his wife had stopped on
after she complained of being ill.
Authorities allege his death
stemmed from a separate plot car
ried out by Mrs. Anderson and at
least two other men.
Jurors were escorted from the
court house by sheriffs officers after
telling Lyon County District Judge
Gary Rulon they voted as a group
not to comment to news reporters
and others concerning their deliber
ations.
Rulon said Bird, pastor of Empo
ria’s Faith Lutheran Church until re
signing June 1, would be sentenced
at 9 a.m. Aug. 30. Criminal solicita
tion is a class D felony carrying a
I
minimum prison sentence of»?
years and maximum of 10 years.
Alan Rees, Faith Lutheran’syM
minister, said the church needs tot
on now that the jury has returneo' |
verdict.
“We need to start actini
Christians again instead of alt
fighting that has been going on,"
said. “I think the sooner we gel t
behind us, the better off we will tt
Rees said.
Family members of Bird’s k
wife, Sandra, were in the courtra
when the verdict was read. MrsJi
died in a one-car accident in
1983 and family members in Li
Rock, Ark., have hired an attoi
to investigate her death, which ft
curred in the same manner as
g rosecudon’s chief witness testil
ird discussed killing Anderson.
