Copies of the receipt from a Houston area hotel were mailed with anonymous letters to members of the Hull-Daisetta Independent School District board in March, about a month before coach Billy Mac Fleming disappeared. Danny Carter, a fingerprint ex aminer with the Texas Department of Public Safety, testified he found former principal Hurley Fontenot’s right thumbprint and a print from his left ring finger on the original receipt. However, Carter said, none of the prints was found on any of the unsigned letters. Earlier in the trial, a hotel clerk identified Fontenot as the man who had requested a copy of the receipt. State District Judge John Martin has ref used to allow the contents of the letters to be discolosed. Fontenot, 48, the former princi pal at Hull-Daisetta Woodson Junior High School, is charged with Flem ing’s murder. He is free on $50,000 bond. Fleming, 36, disappeared April 12 and his decomposed body was found 10 days later on an old logging trail in Polk County. An autopsy showed he had been shot twice in the back of the head. School Superintendent Kenneth Voytek testified that after receiving the anonymous letters, school board members called a meeting on March 19 to discuss whether to renew Flem ing’s contract. Voytek said Fontenot asked him the day before the meet ing if he thought the letters would affect the board’s decision. Fontenot told Voytek that he, too, had received similar letters but “put no faith in them because they were unsigned,” the superintendent said. Voytek said Fontenot gave him the letters he had so copies could be made. Three days after Fleming disap peared, Fontenot, the school’s ath letic director and a deputy sheriff went to Fleming’s apartment to search for signs of Fleming, Voytek said. He said they found a note from Laura Nugent, the 36-year-old sec retary whom Fleming dated. The note said Nugent was worried about him and asked that he call her no matter what the hour was. Prosecutors allege Fontenot was jealous because Nugent had jilted him and planned to marry Fleming last summer. Voytek said that later he and Fon tenot broke into Fleming’s locked pickup truck, which was in the school parking lot, and took the coach’s briefcase. Defense attorney Dick DeGuerin asked Voytek, “You mean you took it upon yourself to enter the locked truck?” “I sure did,” Voytek replied. The briefcase contained Fonte not’s teacher evaluation, a job appli cation for another school district that listed Fontenot as a reference and a copy of his 1985-86 Hull-Dai setta contract, which was signed March 29, Voytek said. si me?; side ( j Id a p rnnatkl at i dge moves trial to Austin conspiracy-to-kill case 30 p.ir, . in 2k •enere *00 Associated Press ANTONIO — A federal >n Tuesday moved to Austin jiiaf of Elizabeth Chagra, ac- af conspiring to kill LLS.

He was the presiding judge in the government’s drug case against Cha- gra’s husband Jimmy Chagra. Jimmy Chagra was convicted of obstruction of justice in Wood’s murder. He is serving a 47-year term on that and other convictions and a concurrent life sentence for plotting to kill former Assistant U.S. Attorneyjames Kerr. Triggerman Charles Harrelson was convicted of murder in the Wood case and sentenced to life in prison. His wife, Jo Ann, was con victed of perjury. Chagra had been held in the county jail in El Paso since last No vember, when she appeared in court in San Antonio at a bond reduction hearing. Sessions agreed to lower her bond of $1 million, set in 1982, to $250,000. But she was unable to post it. The government had moved for a change of venue and Sessions said he would grant the motion but keep the new location secret until Tues day. He said he felt secrecy was im portant to ensure an unbiased jury and a fair trial. Sessions was limited in his site se lection because the government moved for the change of venue.
