WASHINGTON — Two Texas prison system offi
cials and four guards were indicted Monday on charges
of physically mistreating a pair of prisoners, the Justice
Department announced.
A federal grand jury in Houston returned the four-
count indictment, which alleges that the defendants
mistreated two prisoners who had been returned fol
lowing their escape, the department said.
Named as defendants were Robert Minor Lawson II,
assistant warden of the Wynne Unit of the Texas De
partment of Corrections in Walker County, and Donald
L. Shiver/captain of the unit, the Justice Department
said.
The guards named in indictment were Leonel Leal
Jr., Morris Ray Bigham, Nathan Bryant White and
Henry E. Farris, said Assistant Attorney General Wil
liam Bradford Reynolds, who heads the department’s
civil rights division.
All six defendants were charged with conspiring “to
injure and intimidate” Scott E. Licklider and Mark A.
Griffith “in violation of their constitutional rights not to
be deprived of liberity without due process of law, not
to be subjected to summary punishment, and to be kept
free from harm while in official custody,” the depart
ment said.
The indictment said that Lawson, Shiver and some
25 guards assembled at the back gate of the Wynne
Unit on Oct. 29, 1982, to receive the inmates when they
were returned by deputy sheriffs after their escape the
night before.
According to the indictment, Lawson, Shiver and
others stripped the inmates of their clothing and
prodded them to go naked and handcuffed to the
(prison) major’s office, where they were repeatedly
beaten and Griffith was burned with a cigarette by Leal.
Later, the indictment said, Lawson and Shiver filed
reports “falsely stating that Griffith had accidentally
fallen and hit his head.”
All of the defendants other than Leal were charged
in two other counts with violating the civil rights of
Licklider and Griffith, the department said.
Leal was charged in a separate count with violating
the civil rights of Griffith in the cigarette burning inci
dent.
If convicted on the charge of conspiracy to violate
prisoners’ constitutional rights, each of the defendants
could f ace a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and
a $10,000 fine.
Conviction on a charge of actual deprivation of rights
carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a
$1,000 fine.

in a swing
through the Rio Grande Valley on Monday, gave finan
cially beleaguered shrimpers a pep talk and stressed
economic diversification to other businessmen and
community leaders.
The Valley has been plagued in recent years by peso
devaluations, which have hurt border communities,
and winter freezes, which have damaged the citrus and
vegetable industry.
But while the citrus industry is on the rebound, Mex
ico’s peso problems continue and the governor said
other businesses must help attract more people to the
Valley.
“I have been very active in trying to develop additio
nal tourist attractions as well as develop connections be
tween our airline and tourist industry,” White told re
porters and area elected officials.
“I am very pleased to see our citrus industry coming
back,” he said.
Gitrus growers lost an estimated $100 million after a
December 1983 freeze destroyed trees over about 60
percent of the citrus acreage in the Valley.
White said other areas must help pick up the eco
nomic slack.

Earlier in the day in Brownsville, White talked to.
shrimpers, who have said federal regulations, too many
shrimpers and not enough shrimp are driving many
out of business.
Shrimpers recently lost a court hearing to stop the
U.S. Coast Guard from enforming the Lacey Act and
seizing shrimp caught in Mexican waters.
“I understand there are options being discussed to
day with Mexico and I think it’s vital we work together
with Mexico in helping solve this problem,” White said.
“I know it is vital to this industry. It’s also vital to this
part of the state. And I think it’s truly vital to Mexico as
well.
“To me, when you see that type of common interest
then I think we have some hope for resolution of those
problems.”
White met later with the shrimpers and community
leaders privately.
He was scheduled to join Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby later in
the day for a swearing-in ceremony for 206th District
Court Judge Joe B. Lvins. White appointed Evins as jus
tice of the state’s 5th Administrative Judicial District.
