GEORGETOWN - A distraught
father facing an impending divorce
has killed himself and his two sons
by attaching a hose from the exhaust
of his vehicle, Williamson County of
ficials say.
The bodies of Juanito Salinas, 31,
and his two sons, Zachary, 4, and
Brandon Lee, 9, were found Sunday
on the front seat of a car in an iso
lated spot in Williamson County,
about eight miles east of George
town.
Deputy Sheriff Richard Elliott
said the rubber hose had been
shoved through a hole rusted in the
side of the old vehicle.
“The car was in neutral, the igni
tion was on and the gas tank was
empty,” Elliott said. “The windows
were rolled up.”
A fisherman found the bodies in
the car, which was parked on a dirt
road about 100 yards from a low wa
ter crossing of the San Gabriel River.
The area is a popular fishing spot.
D.W. Hays, a Williamson County
justice of the peace, said, “This is
about the hardest thing I have ever
been out on. If a man wants to kill
himself that’s one thing. Why did he
have to kill his two boys? It disturbs
me.”
Elliott said that once the hose was
placed in the car and the engine
started, the three people would have
passed out from carbon monoxide
fumes within minutes.
The trio had been dead several
hours when found. Officers said
plastic bags had been placed over the
faces of the children and one boy
had bruises.
Authorities said Salinas, who ap
parently was upset over an impend
ing divorce, picked up his sons about
9 a.m. Saturday at their grandpa
rents’ home in northeast Austin and
said he planned to take them to a
movie.
The grandparents became con
cerned when they were not returned
home Saturday night.
Doctor says
woman died
of starvation
Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — An elderly
woman died of starvation compli
cated by bedsores and widespread
infection — all brought on by poor
nursing care at a Texas City nursing
home, a medical examiner testified
Monday.
Dr. Vincent DiMaio, Bexar
County medical examiner, also testi
fied another elderly woman, Edna
Mae Witt, was a homicide victim at
the Autumn Hills nursing home.
DiMaio is the final prosecution
witness in the murder-by-neglect
trial against Autumn Hills Convales
cent Centers Inc. and five of its cur
rent and former employees.
They are charged with murder in
the Nov. 20, 1978, death of Elnora
Breed, 87. The woman died 47 days
after entering the Texas City facility.
The defendants also are charged
in the death of Witt, but they are not
being prosecuted on that charge.
DiMaio testified the prosecution
asked him to go over the medical re
cords of both women and to sit in on
autopsies performed earlier this
year.
“Did you arrive at an opinion re
garding the manner of Mrs. Witt’s
death?” assistant attorney general
David Marks asked.
“In my opinion, it was a homi
cide,” DiMaio responded.
The defense promptly objected
and State District Judge Don Mor
gan instructed the jury to disregard
the statement.
Medical records showed, DiMaio
said, that Breed was relatively frail
when she entered the Autumn Hills
nursing home Oct. 4, 1978.
“But her medical history shows
she was a tough woman,” he said.
“She couldn’t have been too frail.”
DiMaio said Breed had no acute
medical problems. He pointed out,
however, she had suffered cancer
three times. But each time, she un
derwent surgery and the disease was
arrested, he said.
The defense has claimed Breed
died of cancer.
“In my opinion, she starved to
death and the starvation was compli
cated by decubitus ulcers (bedsores)
and infections,” DiMaio said.

Oilmen using Bible as guide to gushers
Associated Press
DALLAS — Harold “Hayseed”
Stephens, pastor of the Living Way
Ministry near Weatherford, lost
more than half of his congregation
last year because of members’ dis
pleasure with his interest in drilling
oil in Israel.
But, according to Stephens, divine
guidance played a major role in his
dedsion to drill on the southwest
bank of the Dead Sea, and he is bu
sily trying to line up investors for a
project that he said is guaranteed by
the Bible to succeed.
Stephens, 47, drove to a north
Dallas hotel last week in his white
Cadillac, which bears on its front
doors a company seal sporting oil
derricks atop an open Bible.
Removing his white cowboy hat,
Stephens made his pitch to investors
from whom he needs more than $1
million to continue drilling in Israel.
“I believe because of the Scrip
tures we have found the place,” Ste
phens said. “I believe because of
God’s speaking we have found the
place.”
His confidence comes in the face
of historically little oil production by
Israel, which produces less than
2,000 barrels of oil daily and imports
about 185,000 barrels daily.
Stephens is an evangelical Chris
tian who believe the Bible will lead
him to great reserves of crude in the
Middle East.
A similar believer is oilman Andy
SoRelle of Houston, who uses a host
of geologists and seismologists, and
an abiding confidence in Deutero
nomy, which says, “He (God) made
him (Jacob) to suck honey out of the
rock, and oil out of the flinty rock.”
SoRelle and partners have spent
$13 million in Israel without striking
oil, The Dallas Morning News re
ported Monday.
Others say they have dreams of
exploring for holy crude in Israel,
but have yet to sink a drill bit.
Among them is the Ford Oil and De
velopment Corp. Its prospectus
warns investors that the company is
“approaching the oil and gas busi
ness on a religious basis, which may
increase the risk.”
“The Bible tells us there is oil
there,” Ford president Donald Ack
erman said.
After much praying and fund
raising, Stephens said he struck a
deal with the Israeli government and
some Israeli business interests and
began drilling in June atop a salt
dome.
The company’s prospectus says
the project’s consulting geologist re
ports a 90 percent probability of dis
covering $600 million worth of oil.
If so, Stephens said, he will give all
his share, as he said God has in
structed, to Israel.
Snack bar
a success,
director says
Since its grand opening Oct. 14,
the Bus Stop Snack Bar has pro
vided the opportunity for students
to grab a quick snack en route to
class.
So far, the snack bar, which pro
vides service for more than 1,000
students daily, has been a success,
says Fred Dollar, director of the De
partment of Food Services.
“We didn’t realize there would be
as much demand for this,” Dollar
says. “It (snack bar) seems to he serv
ing a good purpose. We just wish it
was larger.”
Dollar, who has been food services
director for 20 years, says the de
partment wanted to open a snack
bar earlier, but campus space was
limited. The needed room became
available when bus operations
moved.
“We looked at campus traffic pat
terns and we hoticed a great horde
of students go by that intersection
every day,” Dollar says.
The snack bar, is open from 7:30
a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through
Friday and serves hamburgers, hot
dogs, sandwiches and chips at prices
similar to other snack bars on cam
pus, Dollar says.
He says the department hopes to
add more services like the snack bar
and is currently investigating cam
pus traffic patterns to decide on an
additional location.
