Court considers
case reversal
for prostitute
HOUSTON (AP) — A state ap-
f teals court is considering an appeal
rom a former prostitute sentenced
to death for the 1984 slaying of a
man who was hit 21 times with a 3-
foot-long pick axe.
Arguments in the case of Karla
Faye Tucker were heard Wednesday
by the Texas Court of Criminal Ap
peals in Austin, and the court has
taken the request for a reversal of
her conviction under advisement,
court clerk Tom Lowe said Thurs
day. A decision is not expected for
several months, he said.
Tucker, one of three woman with
death sentences in Texas, was con
victed of killing Jerry Lynn Dean,
26, of Houston.
The 27-year-old woman also was
charged with capital murder in the
death of Dean’s girlfriend, but that
charge was dismissed after she testi
fied against her former boyfriend
during his capital murder trial re
lated to the slayings.
Tucker’s lawyer, George McCall
Secrest Jr., told the appeals court
that she began smoking marijuana
when she was 8 years old and was in
jecting heroin by the time she was
10. At the time of the slayings, she
had been awake for two days taking
numerous types of drugs, he said.
State District Judge Pat Lykos’ in
structions to the jury followed the
law by saying her drug abuse could
not ease the punishment unless the
jury decided she was so intoxicated
she did not know right from wrong.
But Secrest contended the judge’s
instruction did not go far enough in
allowing the jury to consider giving
Tucker life in prison rather than a
death sentence.
Prosecutor Cathy Herasimchuk
said that even if Lykos’ instruction
was incorrect, it was what Tucker’s
defense attorneys had requested.
During her trial, Tucker said the
Dean slaying was triggered by her
hate for him after he destroyed the
only photos she had of her late
mother.

By Teresa Foster
Reporte r
Aggie research has led the way for
Texans to be able to enjoy onions
without having to weep about it.
The award-winning Texas 1015
Supersweet onion — a mild, sweet
and disease-resistant onion — is cur
rently the most popular raw' onion in
the South.
Dr. Leonard Pike, professor of
horticulture at Texas A&M, is the
project leader of the development of
the onion.
“Primarily it is a mild, sweet onion
that people enjoy eating without the
side effects,” he said. “I’ve been
working wdth them all day and they
never brought a tear to my eye.”
Another advantage of the onion is
its resistance to disease — mainly
pinkroot, he said. Pinkroot is a soil-
born disease in which the fungus
feeds on the roots. Due to an en
zyme, the roots turn pink and the
onion dies, he said.
All onions are susceptible to many
diseases, but scientists do selective
breeding of those with certain resis
tances to produce onions that are
durable, Pike said.
After the plants are bred, they are
planted in areas favorable for the
disease. If the plant catches the dis
ease, it is rejected. He said that it is

The onion also has had an impact

Texas has shipped more than two
million bags of onions so far this
year, which comes to approximately
$60 million.

Man seeks $2 million
in court after finding
home sits over graves
HOUSTON (AP) — A man who
says his house was built on top of a
graveyard is seeking S2 million in
damages from the developer and
builder of the home, claiming both
knew but never told him.
Sam Haney told a jury that it
wasn’t until 1983, after he started
building a swimming pool in his
backyard, that he found the graves.
“It changed our lives completely,”
Haney testified Wednesday, the first
day of the trial.
Haney’s lawsuit seeks 5485,000 in
damages for the house, pain and
suffering and mental anguish. He is
asking for up to SI.5 million in ex
emplary damages and attorney fees.
Haney said he and his wife cannot
afford to move and that offers to
move them by the companies — the
Purcell Corp., Diamondhead Shelter
Corp., U.S. Atlantic Corp. and Pur
chase Corp. — were not adequate.
He also claims his health has suf
fered and that he has had to start
seeing a psychologist.
Before the graves were discov
ered, Haney said there were indica
tions something was wrong with the
house, which he bought in 1981.
Workers performing warranty re
pairs on the home matte ghost noises
but wouldn’t explain win. he said.
One day, a worker left a drawing
with a square on it, with the letter X
inside, but wouldn’t elaboiate.
“All they would tell me was that I
had a special house,” Hanev said.
“When they started excavating for
the pool, an elderly man knocked on
my door and told me there was
something I should know,” Haney
said. The stranger, who wouldn’t
give his name, pointed out a 1 0-foot-
square area and said it contained
graves.
Several people later told Hanev
that the site of his house wa s used as
a cemetery years ago. be said.
Haney said he called the county
medical examiner’s of fice, which no
tified the sheriffs department. T he
remains were dug up and authorities
said they were human, he said.

Haney vvas able to complete his
pool because it wasn’t in the area of
the graves.
Attorney Tim McDaniel, rep
resenting the companies, declined to
discuss the case outside the court
room but indicated during cross-ex
amination of Haney that he would
try to show his clients had no knowl
