John Lawrence Rogers, 31, arid Lesley Lee Gosch, 30, both Of S*n Antonio, were each charged with capital murder at an appearance be fore City Magistrate Luther Coulter Wednesday. Bond was denied. The men were expected to be moved from the Alamo Heights Po lice Department to the Bexar County Jail Wednesday afternoon. The suspects were arrested at an apartment complex in northwest San Antonio where they both lived, according to Alamo Heights Police Chief Roger Terry. They are accused of the shooting death last week of Rebecca Jo Pat ton, 42, who was found gunned down at her home in the fashionable Alamo Heights suburb minutes after bhOhihg her husband, Castle Hills National Bank president Frank Pat- tdnjr. v Mrs. Patton phoned her husband, theft pul a rhan on the phone who demanded a large amount of money, according to the FBI. The caller never followed through on collecting the money, however. Patton called police immediately after receiving tne call. When au thorities arrived at the house min utes later, they found Mrs. Patton dead of several gunshot wounds. Terry said he met with the infor mant who led to the suspects early Wednesday. “We received very good informa tion good enough to obtain a search warrant,” he said. Officers surrounded the apart ment complex and arrested one of the suspects on foot nearby. The sec ond suspect was arrested inside the apartment, Terry said. Officials said the two were picked Up without incident and taken to the Alamo Heights police department for questioning. Austin city council urged not to make power swap Associated Press AUSTIN — Several local groups urged the Austin city council Wednesday to back off from a reported “swap” of the city’s share in the South Texas Nuclear Project for lignite-pow ered electricity. Representatives of the South Texas Cancellation Campaign, the Sierra Club and the Travis County Democratic Women urged the council to hold public hearings before acting on a pro- E osal reportedly offered by louston Lighting and Power Co. According to published re ports, HL&P has offered to give Austin part ownership in the Limestone lignite-fueled power plant in East Texas if the city will drop the lawsuits it has filed against HL&P and Brown & Root Construction Co., plus its 16 per cent share in the STNP under construction in Matagorda County. Austin also would get $120 million from Brown & Root. Austin would not be outofllie STNP project until it is com pleted and would still payafi 16 percent of the $880 million construction cost, Dan Harriion of the Cancellation Campaign told a news conference. “Austin’s acceptance of thisof- fer would, in effect, makeusa'si- lent partner’ to HL&P and wewi be expected to keep quiet and be satisfied with what we get,” Harri son told a news conference. “We recommend the city coun cil reject this offer, proceed widi both lawsuits, intervene before the Public Utility Commission against the Brown & Root set dement and develop a program to cancel STNP,” Harrison said “The proposed swap of lignite for nuclear power leaves Austin with the worst of both worlds," ; said Alf red Stanley, representing Austin’s Sierra Club. “Not onlv | will we be responsible fortheful i; cost of the nuxe, but we’ll be stud in a lignite plant with nosayover the pollution controls or landrec lamalion ef forts.” Family pleads guilty to running cocaine ring Associated Press HOUSTON — A Colombian national who used his wife, son, daughtef and other family members as workers in a large-scale cocaine dis tribution ring pleaded guilty to operating a continuing criminal enterprise. ^ Jahurett Antonio Castnllon-£strada Sf., 43, of Houston, pleaded guilty Tuesday along with five other family members, who admitted participat ing in cocaine dealing. Castrillon-Estrada, the Colombian-born mas termind of the sophisticated ring, pleaded guilty to the so-called drug kingpin statute, which car ries a maximum penalty of life in prison, court records show. The defendant, who operates a north Houston sign supply business, also pleaded guilty to four other drug charges. The government agreed to drop nine ddditib- nal charges as part of the plea bargain . Prosecutors said they would recommend a j prison sentence not to exceed 15 years. Castrillon-Estrada agreed to forfeit $33,000 in jewelry, $6,300 in cash and several cars to the federal government. Three other defendants who were arrested in June in connection with the drug network pleaded guilty Monday. U.S. District Judge Norman Black set sentenc ing for all nine defendants for Nov. 15. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jesse Rodriguez said four additional people who were charged in the massive, 32-count indictment in July still have pending charges. Rodriguez said the drug gang used Castrillon- Estrada’s business, System Sign Supplies, as a front for the family’s more lucrative business of jelling cocaine. Family members would carry beepers and Would take telephone orders for cocaine that was later delivered to hotels and other Houston-area locations, Rodriquez said. Rodriguez said a government undercoi: agent began purchasing cocaine from faor members in June 1984 and made a numbet: buys before members of the ring were rounds up a year later in a raid by law enforcementi; thorities.
