SAN ANTONIO — Convicted
killer Henry Lee Lucas appeared be
fore a federal grand jury Wednes
day despite efforts by Attorney Gen
eral Jim Mattox to keep him in state
custody in Waco.
Lucas, who recently has recanted
confessions to more than 200 slay
ings, was transferred early Wednes
day from the McLennan County Jail
in Waco under escort from the Mc
Lennan County sheriff and U.S.
marshals.
U.S. Marshal Bill Jonas said Lucas
went into the grand jury room at
1:30 p.m. and was still in the room at
4:45 p.m.
On a national television program
earlier in the day, Lucas said that he
gave phony confessions in an alleged
multi-state crime spree because of
the way he was treated while jailed in
one Texas county.
“I confessed because of the treat
ment I received in Montague
County,” Lucas told the ABC Good
Morning America program. “I was
put in what they call a cold cell and I
was deprived of every right I have.
“I asked for an attorney. I
couldn’t get one. I was harassed for
nine months. I lost all kinds of jobs
because of it and I made up my
mind that . . . people weren’t going
to walk on me.”
Lucas was held in Montague
Countv in 1983 when he was
charged with the 1982 murder of
Kate Rich of Ringgold, Texas. It was
then that he began confessing to
scores of other killings. Lucas was
convicted of the Rich murder and
sentenced to 75 years in prison.
U.S. Attorney Helen Lversberg of
the Western District of Texas would
not confirm reports that the federal
grand jury is investigating whether
Lucas’ civil rights were violated.
Lucas was ordered transferred to
San Antonio over the objections of
Mattox, who hoped to open a
statewide probe into Lucas’ confes
sions.
“We are convinced there are cases
that Lucas has not committed de
spite his confessions,” Mattox said
Tuesday.
On Tuesday, Lucas alleged that
Texas Rangers and other law en
forcement officers aided his confes
sions by providing crime scene infor
mation.
Texas Ranger Bob Prince, who
headed a task force in the Lucas in
vestigation, said that to believe Lucas
is to assume “a mass conspiracy . . .
of officers throughout the United
States to clear these cases. That’s ri
diculous.”
“Lucas has personally led officers
back to well in excess of 100 crime
scenes,” Prince said. “He has
brought up information on crimes
that they were totally unaware of be
cause it is out of their jurisdiction.”

Court: dog's action
not related to man
Associated Press
i exas Suprei
Court ruled Wednesday in a Shelby
County case that a contempt of court
order is void because there was no
evidence connecting a man to the ac
tions of his dog.
A trial court found R.H. Williams
in contempt because his dog had
“trespassecl” on a neighbor’s prop
erty in violation of a temporary
agreed injunction prohibiting tres
passing.
The neighbor, Waylon Vaughn,
testified that he was awakened by
barking dogs and saw Williams’ dog,
a walker hound, running in his back
yard. He caught and chained the
dog. Williams picked it up after
work.
Vaughn testified that the only
damage he sustained from this “tres
pass” was that he awakened early,
and his dogs were disturbed.
Williams was found in contempt
of court for allegedly violating the
injunction, and punishment was as
sessed at three days in jail and a $150
fine. He was released on the condi
tion that he post a $3,000 bond and
appeal.

HOUSTON — The last man to receive the Congressional Medal of
Honor for valor in the Vietnam War says American soldiers were not de
feated, but “just weren’t given permission to win.”
“It wasn’t the soldiers who lost the war,” retired Green Beret Sgt. Roy
Benavidez told the Port Arthur News in an interview about the war and its
aftermath. “It was the politicians and Congress.
“Don’t criticize the soldiers. They’re the ones who stepped on punji
sticks and got attacked by water buffaloes or shot at by villagers. We weren’t
defeated. We just weren’t given permission to win.”
Benavidez, a native of El Campo, about 60 miles southwest of Houston,
was seriously injured in a 1968 battle at Loc Ninh. He was awarded the Dis
tinguished Service Cross, the military’s second-highest honor, for coura
geous acts during that battle.
But the publisher of his hometown newspaper and some Army friends
uncovered more information about the battle, found a living eyewitness and
launched a campaign to get Berjavidez the nation’s highest award.
Almost 13 years after the Loc Ninh battle, Benavidez was awarded the
Medal of Honor from President Reagan in a February 1981 ceremony at
the White House.
