Bodies of aliens Warped
by Scott McCullc
sent to Mexico
aboard plane
EL PASO (AP) — The bodies of
eight aliens who perished in an air
tight boxcar while trying to sneak
into Texas were to be flown home
Tuesday aboard a jet provided by
the Mexican government.
Only one of the 18 men who died
in the boxcar’s stifling heat re
mained behind in the United States
Tuesday as authorities worked to de
termine his identity and nationality.
“We can’t take him from the
United States without being com
pletely sure he was a Mexican,” said
Heriberto Spindola of the Mexican
consulate in El Paso. “If he is not
identified, he will be buried in El
Paso. We will try again today to see if
anybody knows him.”
All 18 bodies had been embalmed,
and the remaining nine to be flown
to the state of Zacatecas on Wednes
day were going to remain in the bor
der city of Ciudad Juarez overnight,
Spindola said.
Twelve of the bodies were taken
across the border to Juarez late
Monday, Jim Weatherly of the El
Paso Mortuary said. The others, ex
cept the unidentifed man, were
transported to that city Tuesday.
Spindola said the first flight
would land in Aguascaliente at 4
p.m. local time, and vehicles would
be used to take six of the men’s re
mains to their hometown in Pabellon
de Arteaga.
One of the men on Tuesday’s
flight was from the Aguascaliente
city of Tepezala and another was
from Zacatecas state, Spindola said.
Wednesday’s flight was expected
to leave Juarez Wednesday morning
and land in El Saucito, Spindola
said. Five of the victims were from El
Saucito and five others were from
the Zacatecas city of Ojo Caliente.
Two of the men who died were
said to be smugglers who lured the
men north from their hometowns
and onto the boxcar, which they
boarded last Wednesday in an El
Paso freight yard.
Some family members of the dead
have told a government official from
Zacatecas that the only survivor, 21-
year-old Miguel Tostado Rodriguez
of Pabellon de Arteaga, urged their
kin to make the trip north.
Tostado was the only person alive
when Border Patrol agents opened
the boxcar Thursday morning dur
ing a routine train check in Sierra
Blanca, 90 miles to the east.
The 19 aliens were locked in the
boxcar 14 hours before by a smug
gler known as “the Grasshopper,”
believed to be a Mexican national
who has fled into Mexico.

Houston police
wont gloves
to prevent AIDS
HOUSTON (AP) — City police
officers have asked their chief to
provide them with gloves in an ef
fort to combat the spread of AIDS, a
rial saic
police union official said.
Mark Clark, president of the
Houston Police Officers Association,
sent a letter to Chief Lee Brown on
Monday asking that disposable
gloves be issued for every patrol car.
The union letter said the gloves
were necessary for “high-risk” situa
tions where officers might handle
someone with an infectious disease.
“We don’t want to embarrass, de
fame or humiliate anyone. But if the
occasion calls for it, we should have
them,” Clark said.
Clark said officers provide first
aid to people who are bleeding and
sometimes are exposed to blood dur
ing a struggle. Gloves already are
used during prisoner searches at the
jail.
But city Health Director Dr.
James Haughton said the only way
police officers are going to get AIDS
is by having sex or sharing needles
with someone who has the virus.
“Therefore the equipment
needed to protect the police is not
rubber gloves,” Haughton said.
He suggested that Brown “issue
needles to those who use intrave
nous drugs and condoms to those
who might have sex with carriers of
the virus” if he is serious about com
bating acquired immune deficiency
syndrome virus within police ranks.
Tommy Britt, president of the
Houston Police Patrolman’s Union,
said the union has not officially
asked for gloves.
He said disposable gloves are
available to officers at the jail free of
charge and that he knew of officers
who took them on patrol with them.

Clements proposes $408 million plan
to help combat prison overcrowding
AUSTIN (AP) — To attack an
overcrowding crisis that has repeat
edly closed Texas prisons this year,
Gov. Bill Clements proposed a $408
million plan Tuesday to expand the
prison system by about 19,000 beds.
Texas Department of Corrections
officials said it could help relieve
crowding caused by court-ordered
population reductions and increas
ing numbers of convictions.
“It meets the objectives that we
feel are absolutely necessary,” TDC
Director Jim Lynaugh said. “We
must have additional capacity to
house the inmates, and we must
have the funds to comply with
(court-ordered) construction. Both
of these items are included in the
plan.”
Rider Scott, the governor’s gen
eral counsel, said Clements’ four-
year plan should alleviate the prison
crowding crisis.
This situation must end.”
Unless new beds are added, he
said, court-ordered reforms over the
next two years actually would reduce
the number of inmates the 38,000-
prisoner system can hold.
“During the next two years, there
may not be room for almost 10,000
felons who have been duly, legally
another 8,396 to be added in 1990-
91.
Included would be four 500-bed
private facilities, five trusty camps,
two 2,250-bed prisons, four regional
“reintegration centers” in urban
areas, six shock probation centers
and other facilities.

have received certification from the
attorney general that we must de

convicted and sentenced by the
courts because of a shortage of
beds,” Scott said.
The proposal offers several fi
nancing options, Scott said.
The construction program could
be carried out with proceeds of bond
sales, lease-purchase arrangements
with county governments, contracts
with private firms and from the
state’s general revenue fund.
The plan calls for building 10,950
beds over the next two years, with

phases of the proposal, Scott said.
Lawmakers would have to approve
legislation to allow counties to con

to the state. Clements added that
subject to the session’s agenda last
week.
About $67.7 million more in oper
ating funds would be needed in
1988-89, but Scott said lawmakers al

that total.

“It’s operating by closing the fi

said. “There isn’t any question

Inmate facing execution spends
final day with family, chaplains
HUNTSVILLE (AP) — A former
laborer convicted of killing a 70-
year-old woman during a robbery 10
years ago spent the day with family
members and prison chaplains as he
awaited his execution before dawn
today.
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected
John Russell Thompson’s final re
quest for a stay of execution, leaving
his life in the hands of Gov. Bill
Clements, who could have issued a
30-day reprieve.
Clements spokesman Reggie Ba-
shur said Clements would consider
the plea. But he has not issued such
a reprieve in previous cases of in
mates facing imminent execution.

Thompson’s first conviction in
1978 was thrown out on appeal, but
a second trial in 1982 also resulted in
a death sentence.
“Thank you all for telling me,”
Thompson told prison officials. He
said he was glad that he did not hear

In an unusual move Tuesday, the

A federal judge in San Antonio

federal appeals courts. Thompson is
scheduled to diejust after midnight.
