DPS discovers
Fontenot’s prints
on hotel receipt
Associated Press
LIVINGSTON — A former ju
nior high school principal’s finger
prints were found on a receipt from
a hotel where a slain football coach
and the school secretary had spent
the night, a fingerprint examiner
testified Tuesday.
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.

his home in a fashionable San Anto
nio neighborhood on May 29, 1979.
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. The
case could be moved only to federal
courts within the Western District of
Texas.
