Mark White to the Legislature. Cyndi Taylor Krier, a 34-year-old lawyer, was barred from the House chamber on Tuesday by doorkeep ers who did not recognize her. Krier, a San Antonio Republican, chose to go upstairs to the visitors’ gallery rather than insisting on a downstairs seat with other senators. “Lots of those in the Senate are new faces to us over here,” said House Sergeant-at-Arms Ron Hinkle, who wrote Krier an immedi ate letter of apology. Krier said, “I guess I could have bullied my way in, saying, ‘I’m a state senator.’ But I didn’t.” She was not carrying her official Senate photo identification. So, on Wednesday, Sen. Chet Ed wards presented Krier with a brief case-sized photo ID labeled “Official Legislative Identification —Depart ment of Public Safety.” “Carry it with you everywhere you go,” said Edwards, D-Duncanville. “It might even get you a parking place at the Capitol.” The youthful looking Edwards — the youngest senator at 33 — told Krier in his legislative career he had been mistaken for a page and high school student, “and I can empathize with you.” Sen. Carl Parker, D-Port Arthur, jokingly said he had received a tele gram from former presidential can didate Jesse Jackson telling Krier to heed Jackson’s advice: “I am — somebody.” Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby recalled that several years ago after a woman House member had been denied ac cess to a private club in the down town Driskill Hotel, she asked her colleagues to boycott the hotel. “I will recognize you if you’d like to introduce a resolution to boycott the House,” said Hobby, smiling. Krier responded, “I want to thank all of you for your gallant efforts. I do hope to accomplish a few other things besides getting on the House floor.” THETA CHI Deer ?

Roberta Turner agreed to make the settlement with Fran Turner, who was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of her husband Rob ert Turner, rather than have her son’s $500,000 estate tied up in liti gation while Fran Turner appeals her murder conviction. Fran Turner separated from her husband shortly after she was named beneficiary on his $300,000 in life insurance. In her trial last February, testi mony showed she hired a Bay City cable television installer, Michael Hunter, to help her kill Turner. Hunter testified that Fran Turner promised him part of her husband’s estate if he would assist in his mur der. Turner was killed in March 1982 at a roadside park near Richmond. An autopsy showed he had been stabbed more than 60 times. Hunter was charged with capital murder in the killing, but has been promised a reduced charge of mur der and a 30-year prison sentence as part of a plea bargain arrangement. Fran Turner was convicted of capital murder, but the jury did not sentence her to death. The conviction carries a life sen tence, but she is appealing. Sherri Frank, daughter of Fran Turner from an earlier marriage, is also charged with murder and is on trial in Richmond. Prosecutors said she helped plan the murder and transported the body from the murder scene.
