LIVINGSTON — A former ju
nior high school principal testified
Wednesday that he gave a football
coach, who later turned up dead, a
ride to the school Field house on the
day he was last seen alive.
Hurley Fontenot, 48, former
principal of Hull-Daisetta Woodson
Junior High School, is charged with
murder in the April 12 slaying of
coach Billy Mac Fleming, 36.
Fleming’s body was left along an
isolated logging road in East Texas
and found 10 days later.
Prosecutors contend that Fleming
and Fontenot were rivals for the af
fections of Laura Nugent, 36, a tea
cher’s aide and the school secretary.
Fleming and Mrs. Nugent had
planned to marry last summer.
In his second day on the witness
stand, Fontenot gave a detailed ac
count of his last meetings with the
coach.
As he was getting ready to leave
the school April 12 to drive to Hous
ton, Fontenot said Fleming stopped
him and asked for permission to
leave school early to go to the bank
and to meet with the school’s athletic
director.
He gave his approval, he said, and
then gave Fleming a ride to a field
house where the coach’s pickup
truck was parked.
“That was the last time I saw Bill
Fleming,” Fontenot said.
Fontenot said he left the school
grounds about 3 p.m., and made a
few stops before making trips to
Houston’s Hobby Airport and Inter-.
continental Airport to meet his
daughter. He was unable to find her
at either, he said.
After he called her and she said
she planned to stay in Austin for the
weekend, he traveled to a race track
in Louisiana, he said, then to his sis
ter’s in Daisetta and back to Hous
ton.
Fontenot said when he returned
to school Monday, April 15, he
learned that Fleming had failed to
show up for work, so he called Nu
gent, who said she didn’t know
where he was.
About a week later, he said, he
learned Fleming’s body had been
found southwest of Livingston. He
said on the following day, April 23,
deputies called and said they wanted
to talk to him.
Informant robbed after hanging himself
Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — A profes
sional killer who turned informant
against several reputed mobsters was
robbed of jewelry and cash after he
hanged himself last week, the Bexar
County sheriff says.
Sheriff Harlon Copeland said
Tuesday his department is seeking
theft warrants against several men
who allegedly stole more than
$1,000 in cash and jewelry and a sui
cide note f rom Frederick DiNome’s
residence Feb. 12.
DiNome, who had lived in San
Antonio under the federal Witness
Protection Program since last June,
was found hanged from his bedpost,
Copeland said.
The Bexar County medical exam
iner, saying there was no evidence
DiNome had been beaten or was un
der the influence of drugs, ruled the
death a suicide.
Copeland said DiNome’s room
mate discovered the body. The
roommate reportedly first called
some friends and waited two to three
hours before informing authorities,
Copeland said.
“It is an atrocious act to rob a dead
man,” Copeland said. “It is like rob
bing a grave and we plan to prosecu
te.”
DiNome testified last year against
eight reputed mobsters accused of
operating an international car-theft
ring, including Paul Castellano. Cas
tellano was shot to death in New
York Dec. 16. The trial of the others
continued. A jury is deliberating a
verdict in the case.
