Fire kills woman
who lived in terror
Associated Press
ARLINGTON — In the past six
months, Velma Ewing had at last be
gun learning to live without fear.
She had lived in terror since Sept.
30, 1982, when she watched a pair of
youths stab her husband, 86, to
death after they broke into the cou
ple’s Fort Worth home. A severe
beating in the incident left her
wheelchair-bound.
She just had recovered from the
trauma and was beginning to take an
interest in life again when she and
her daughter died as a result of a
fire early Monday at her daughter’s
home, where she had lived since the
attack, said Ewing’s grandson, Irwin
Coleman.
Ewing, 82, was overcome by
smoke as she sat in her wheelchair in
a bedroom of the home, said Bill Fa
bian, a spokesman for the Tarrant
County medical examiner.
Ewing’s daughter, Lenora Alice
Coletnan, 63, collapsed in a hallway
while trying to rescue her mother.
Coleman died Tuesday morning at
Arlington Community Hospital, said
hospital spokeswoman Darralyn
Cummings.
Coleman’s husband, Johnnie Co
leman, 67, also was taken to the hos
pital and treated for smoke inhala
tion. .He was in good condition
Tuesday, Cummings said.
The son-in-law, a retired engineer
for Vought Corp. in Grand Prairie,
had gone to remove the cars from
the burning garage when the fire
suddenly escalated, causing the
surge of smoke that overcame the
two women, officials said.
Officials blame the Fire on a faulty
coffee maker.
Ewing’s husband, Alexander was
killed by a gang of youths who ter
rorized elderly residents in the area
for three months in 1982, Fort
Worth police said. In the weeks be
fore Ewing’s slaying, two other el
derly people were robbed and
beaten to death in their homes.
In October 1982, police charged
brothers Lernard Earl Matthews, 15,
and Bernard Earl Matthews, 16, in
connection with Ewing’s death.
The younger teen was convicted
of burglary and aggravated robbery
with bodily injury and sentenced to
35 years. The older brother also re
ceived 35-year sentence on a bur
glary conviction. Both are in prison,
officials said.
But even after the arrest, Mrs.
Ewing remained emotionally
crippled by the attack, her grandson
said.

DALLAS — Hispanic leaders
have reacted angrily to a city coun
cilman’s claim that illegal aliens with
no moral values are destroying Dal
las neighborhoods.
Deputy Mayor Pro Tern Jim Hart,
who heads an ad hoc committee on
illegal aliens, made that statement‘in
a letter he sent to lawmakers and
congressmen from the Dallas area.
Tne letter asked the lawmakers to
get involved with immigration con
trol and invited them to visit neigh
borhoods which are being destroyed
by the invasion of undocumented
aliens.
Mhrcos Ronquillo, president of
the Mexican-American Bar Associa
tion, called Hart’s letter a “typical,
monolithic, narrow-minded racist at
tack on a segment of our population
that is defenseless and unable to re
spond to these attacks and whose
only crime is to come to this country
seexing a better life for themselves
and their family.”
Adelfa Callejo, chairwoman of the
Coalition of Hispanic Organizations,
said Hart’s statements were racist
and offensive.
“I think that just exemplifies the
feeling we’ve had about Dr. Hart’s
attitude,” she said.
Hart’s letter said the Citizens
Committee on Immigration Control,
which he created more than a year
ago, includes Dallas Police Chief
Billy Prince; Ron Chandler, Dallas
district director of the U.S Immigra
tion and Naturalization Service; a
deputy police chief; and the exec
utive vice president of the Dallas Cit
izens Council.
Chandler said that as many as
80,000 undocumented workers live
in Dallas and perhaps as many as
150,000 in the Dallas-Fort Worth
area.
He agreed with Hart’s assessment
of the problem, saying illegal immi
gration is totally out of control. He
and Hart both said illegal aliens are
taking jobs from U.S. citizens and
burdening the nation’s social welfare
programs.
