I LUBBOCK — It began with a
broken windshield.
I It ended with two persons being
leriously wounded and an arrest

"exas bank examiner.
*1983. At about 5:40 p.m., someone
called the Lubbock Police Depart-
nient and said the windshield of his
tar had been broken at My Car
Wash on 50th Street and asked for
an officer to take a report.
I When the caller was informed
£|that it was a civil matter and not
Hriminal in nature, he became irate
■ and said he would kill the employees
at the car wash.
I As patrol cars were being dis-

of the car wash, and his son Jackie,
31, lying wounded on the floor of

Darwin Adrian Fowler
age, about 5 foot 10 inches, with a

First day of jury deliberation
bears no fruit in Elder trial
Associated Press
■ HOUSTON — A federal court
tary Wednesday began deliberating
tjie case of two sanctuary workers ac-
Aised of illegally transporting two
Siilvadoran aliens.
■ The 10-man, two-woman jury de
liberated about one hour, 45 min-
gtes without reaching a verdict in
the case against Jack Elder and Sta
cey Lynn Merkt.
■ The two were identified by one of
the Salvadorans as the two Ameri-
►ycans who helped him and several
ether aliens after they crossed into
the United States from Mexico.
■ The pair’s defense attorney ar
gued, however, that the Salvadoran,
|jP>se Andreas Mendez-Valle, was
“fighting for his life” and that Bor
der Patrol agents coerced him into
cooperating.
■ “They’re going for blood and
when they’re going for blood they
don’t care what the facts are,” Steve
Cooper told the 10-man, two-woman
jury in U.S. District Judge Filemon
Vela’s court.
Merkt, 30, was charged with one
count of conspiracy and two counts
of transporting the aliens from a
shelter in San Benito, where she is a
volunteer, to a McAllen bus station
on Nov. 21.
Elder, 41, director of the shelter,
was charged with two counts of con
spiracy and two counts of helping
two Salvadorans enter the United
States illegally. He also was accused
of driving the aliens on Nov. 8 from
the U.S.-Mexican border to the
Catholic church-sponsored refugee
shelter.
The defense presented seven wit
nesses who said they saw Merkt dur
ing a 10-day trip that included seven
days in New York last November. It
is during that time that the govern
ment alleges she aided the Salvado
rans.
On Tuesday, Merkt’s fiance, John
Blatz, and five other witnesses testi
fied they saw the defendant during
her New York visit.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert
Guerra rested the government’s case
Tuesday after Mendez identified
Elder and Merkt as the Americans
who had helped the refugee group.
Mendez said that about Nov. 7,
he, Maria Caetana Rosales-Cruz and
his three Salvadoran cousins crossed
the Rio Grande and were met on the
U.S. side by an American man.
Elder and Merkt are charged only
with assisting Mendez and Cruz.
Mendez identified Elder a§ the
man who aided him. Testifying
through a translator, he said he paid
Merkt at the shelter to buy the group
bus tickets to Houston, and she
drove them to the bus station in
McAllen.
Cruz, however, while confirming
that the refugees were helped by an
American man and woman, could
not identify Elder and Merkt.
