LOCKHART (AP) — Caldwell
County Sheriff Elvin Hoskins has re
signed in the wake of an investiga
tion into allegations he forced
county prisoners to work at his farm.
Hoskins resigned Wednesday af
ter a district court grand jury failed
to return an indictment against him.
There was no indication of
whether Hoskins’ resignation was
part of an agreement by prosecutors
not to pursue charges against him.
“It was a very secretive investiga
tion,” County Judge Bill Ellison told
the San Antonio Express-News.
The grand jury met early
Wednesday to consider accusations
the sheriff used county prisoners to
work on his farm and at other pri
vate businesses in Caldwell County,
county officials said.
Jeff Van Horn, district attorney
for Caldwell County, said he re
moved himself from the investiga
tion to keep it from becoming politi
cal.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A study
partially conducted in San Antonio
shows people who suffer “small”
heart attacks can benefit from a
drug that can drastically reduce
their risk for a second more serious
one.
Results of the four-year study
were published in Thursday’s edi
tions of the New England Journal of
Medicine.
The study showed the calcium
blocking drug diltiazem reduced the
occurrence of a second heart attack
by 51 percent.
Fifty South Texas victims of small
heart attacks participated in the
study at Audie L. Murphy Memorial
Veterans Administration Hospital.
“What it means is that here is the
first treatment that has been shown
to reduce the incidence of recurrent
heart attacks in these patients,” ex
plained Dr. Michael Crawford, prin
cipal investigator of the local re
search project.
Crawford, a professor of medi
cine at the University of Texas
Health Science Center, said a “small”
heart attack does not cut off all
blood to the heart.
“Although this usually means less
extensive injury to the heart, these
patients run a 15 percent to 20 per
cent risk of having a second heart at
tack within a year,” he said.
Small heart attacks account for a
third of all heart attacks annually.
Another eight medical centers in
the United States and Canada partic
ipated in the diltiazem study.
Diltiazem is commonly used to
treat heart disease-caused chest pain
called angina pectoris.
