2 men charged with murder
of San Antonio banker's wife
Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — Police
Wednesday, acting on information
provided by an informant, arrested
two men and charged them with
capital murder in the extortion slay
ing of a banker’s wife.
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

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;

of charges along with Castrillon-Estrada wt«2

Other defendants who plea bargained Mu =
day to lesser charges include Kenneth Chan; :

both of Houston, and David Wayne Cleghon
