2 plead guilty in vigilante case
Associated Press
FORT WORTH — Two teen-ag
ers pleaded guilty Tuesday to
charges stemming from their in
volvement in the Legion of Doom, a
vigilante-type organization that con
ducted a violent crusade to rid a
high school of crime and drug use.
State District Judge Don Leonard
ordered pre-sentence investigations
for Michael Taw Guthrie, Iv, and
Charles W. Fillmore, 18.
Leonard’s administrative clerk
said Guthrie pleaded guilty to aggra
vated assault with a deadly weapon
and possession of a prohibited
weapon.
Fillmore pleaded guilty to two
counts of possession of a prohibited
weapon, one count of aggravated as
sault with a deadly weapon, one
count of felony criminal mischief,
two misdemeanor counts of criminal
mischief and a charge of cruelty to
animals, the clerk said.
Five other teen-agers pleaded
guilty Monday before Leonard to
charges that include possession of
bombs, assault, and destruction of
cars, a school locker and a mailbox.
One misdemeanor charge involved
killing a cat that was left in a stu
dent’s car.
Leonard has said it will be about a
month before he is ready to sentence
the seven.
Police said members of the Legion
of Doom — many of them honor
students, athletes and sons of promi
nent members of the community —
resorted to violence in an attempt to
rid Paschal High School of crime
and drugs.
Assistant District Attorney Scott
Wisch said the case of the remaining
defendant, Bradley James Bielss, 18,
indicted on a misdemeanor charge,
will be dealt with after the others are
sentenced.
The eight defendants were in
dicted on graduation day last May
on 33 charges that stem from a series
of crimes between Jan. 9 and March
24, 1985. The incidents included a
car bombing, firing of shots at a
house and passing notes signed with
swastikas.
Punishment on the individual fel
ony charges range from two to 20
years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
The misdemeanor offenses are pun
ishable by up to six months in a
county jail and a $ 1,000 Fine.

6th prisoner
assaulted
in TDC in , 86
Associated Press
HUNTSVILLE — A Texas
prison inmate became the sixth
prisoner assaulted within the
prison system this year after he
was beaten with a broom, a prison
spokesman said Tuesday.
Richard A. Gilbert, 29, was
beaten by two inmates at the
Texas Department of Corrections
Coffield Unit near Tennesee Col
ony while sitting in his cell about
6:30 p.m. Monday, prison
spokesman Phil Guthrie said.
The two inmates entered Gil
bert’s cell during an “in and out”
period when prisoners are al
lowed to leave their cells, Guthrie
said.
“The suspects entered his cell
and beat him with a broom,” he
said.
After the beating, the suspects,
one serving 35 years for theft and
murder in Harris County and the
other serving 25 years for a bur
glary in Milam County, climbed
up to the next row of cells and
surrendered, Guthrie said.
Gilbert, serving a life sentence
for injury to a child with a deadly
weapon in Dallas County, was
treated at the prison infirmary
then transported to the TDC
Hospital in Galveston where he is
listed in fair condition.
Last year 216 prisoners were
assaulted and 27 killed within the
Texas prison system.
Prince Charles to get 90,000-poundcake
Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — With the help
of directions on the back of a cake
mix box, more than 180 people are
baking and assembling a Texas-size
dessert to celebrate the visit of Brit
ain’s Prince Charles to Texas.
The 90,000-pound cake, said to
be the world’s largest, will be cut by
the prince and Gov. Mark White
during Charles’ visit to Austin, on
Feb. 20.
The Prince of Wales is planning a
four-day visit to Dallas, Houston,
Austin and San Antonio next week,
in honor of the Texas Sesquicenten-
nial.
The cake, large enough to feed
300,000, will be cut at a party at City
Coliseum in Austin. Each slice will
go for $ 1.50 or $ 150 for a sheet. Pro
ceeds are earmarked for restoration
of the Texas Capitol.
The cake is being created under
the supervision of Franz Eiche-
nauer, the current record-holder for
the world’s largest cake.
The Colonial Cake Co., a 104-
year-old family bakery in San Anto
nio, will have a dozen bakers, 20 pas
try chefs and 150 student helpers
handling the baking project.
Bakery owner L.J. Richter said,
“We don’t make our cakes from
mixes, so we didn’t know how it
would work. So we bought some of
the mix at the store to make sure we
could do it.”
On Feb. 19, Richter and his team
of bakers will deliver 20,000 layers to
Austin, where the cakes will be as
sembled and frosted under Eiche-
nauer’s supervision.
Eichenauer, vice president of the
food and beverage division of the
Hospitality Management Corp. in
Dallas, set the Guiness Book record
for the world’s largest cake July 4,
1982, with an 81,982-pound cake in
Atlantic City, N.J.
The firm which is sponsoring the
cake will provide 31,026 boxes of
yellow cake mix.

Reunion Enterprises locates
classmates, plans reunions
Associated Press
WICHITA FALLS — Kathey
Saenz, of Wichita Falls, specializes in
tracking down high school class
mates and arranging reunions for
graduating classes.
Saenz formed a data bank for lo
cating former classmates when she
was a junior at the University of
Texas. She decided to broaden her
services after a distressed woman re
counted her experiences of planning
a high school reunion.
“All anyone wanting a reunion
has to do is provide us with a guest
list and' tell us how much they want
to spend, and we take it from there,”
she says.
Today, she not only provides this
service for Wichita Falls schools but
also some in Dallas and Austin.
“It’s pretty difficult to keep up
with these people, but we send out
change of address cards about every
three years,” she says.
On the average, Saenz explained,
people between 18 and 30 change
addresses about every 18 months.
Another service Reunion Enter
prises offers to people who move
frequently is listing their credit card
numbers, subscriptions and relatives
in a computer. When a client gives
notice of a move, Saenz’ firm notifies
credit card companies, magazines
and relatives of the change in ad
dress.
“This way, they only have to make
one telephone call,”, she sa.ys. “We do
the rest of it.”
When it comes to reunions, Saenz
says she prefers to start eight months
to a year in advance. She explained
that 20-year class reunions are the
most successful.
“People who have been out of
school that long have usually settled
on a career and are better off finan
cially than younger people, so they
can usually afford to come back to
attend,” she says.
She says the hardest part about
planning a reunion is locating for
mer students and coming up with
ideas to make each reunion different
each time.
“Most of these reunions wind up
being basically the same, so it’s diffi
cult to come up with new ideas so no
two will be alike,” she says.
