Death row inmate accuses
jailer of stealing memoirs
HUNTSVILLE (AP) — Death-
row inmate Henry Lee Lucas is up
set that a former county jailer is try
ing to peddle a handwritten Lucas
autobiography that the alleged serial
killer contends was stolen from his
county jail cell. Joe Don Weaver of
Nocona was a jailer in Montague
County in 1983 when he says Lucas
gave him the 21-page book. Weaver
now is in bankruptcy court and his
creditors are hoping to cash in on
the Lucas book.
“When I saw in the paper he had
it, I blew my stack,” Lucas said
Wednesday in an interview outside
death row. “I can’t help he’s bank
rupt. That’s not my problem. He
stole it out of my cell.”
Weaver said last week he had con
tacted the National Enquirer some
time ago to see whether he could sell
the papers. Weaver’s wife, Kathy,
said some publications had ex
pressed interest, but her husband
feared legal reprisals for not turning
over the Lucas notes to authorities
and has not pursued the publishing
offers. Lucas said Wednesday he
would sue the former deputy or any
one who bought the story from the
deputy.
“He doesn’t have the right to sell
my stuff,” said Lucas, who in 1983
confessed to some 600 murders but
later recanted all but one of the con
fessions.
“I liked him,” he said of Weaver.
“He always snuck me cigarettes and
coffee in my cell. I never thought
much of it at the time. After it came
up missing, he came up missing.
“I didn’t know if he quit or what
happened but I never saw him after
that. I don’t know what the deal is.
It’s sure not right.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — A rider
tagged to a major appropriations bill
that passed Wednesday provides
$1.3 million for the education of im
migrant children in 29 Texas school
districts left out of a funding request
approved earlier this year.
The newly approved funds will go
to building new classrooms, buying
equipment and providing instruc
tion for an estimated 18,599 chil
dren who were not provided for in
earlier Emergency Immigrant Edu
cation program funding.
In introducing the measure, Sen.
Lloyd Bentsen, D-Texas, called the
oversight a tragic event and attrib
uted it to “a series of administrative
mistakes and miscommunications.”
Terri Moore, spokesman for the
Texas Education Agency, blamed
the Education Department, which
she said gave the state only three
weeks to come up with data on the
number of immigrant students en
rolled in Texas schools.
“To find out the number of chil
dren qualifying for this program is a
difficult task,” Moore said. “We have
to find out whether they have been
in the U.S. three years or less and
many other details.”
State officials had data on only
half of the 58 school districts by the
May 22 deadline, information that
was sent to Washington with the pre
sumption the Education Depart
ment would allow the remaining
data to be added later, which it did
not, she said.
Anna Maria Farias, deputy direc
tor of the Office of Bilingual Educa
tion at the Education Department,
blamed the problem on inattentive
ness by the Texas Education Agen
cy’s new director.
“Texas had a personnel change
and that’s why this fell through the
cracks,” Farias said.
Notification of the approaching
deadline was published in the Fed
eral Register April 16 and an Educa
tion Department official contacted
the Texas Education Agency in
March to clue them in, she said, add
ing that all other states were able to
get their information in on time.
The $30 million program was
funded by the department in early
June, leaving Texas $1.3 million
short of its $3.3 million request to
cover an estimated 47,425 immi
grant students.
The Bentsen amendment, at
tached to the Labor, Health and Hu
man Services appropriations bill
which passed 94-2, shifts $1.3 mil
lion from the Education Depart
ment’s bilingual education program
to the Texas districts. On the Senate
floor, Bentsen said, “We are not talk
ing about a situation where we are
taking money out of one program to
fund another. We’re talking about a
reappropriation of previously
unused bilingual education funds.”
Police charge 3 men with transporting aliens
CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) — Three Mexican
nationals were charged with transporting 16 un
documented Salvadorans in the bed of a pickup
truck, police said.
“They were all just laying there, side by side,
like cords of wood in there,” Edna Police Chief
iNorman Glaze said.
Tuesday, U.S. Magistrate Eduardo de Ases or
dered Miguel Martinez-Garcia, 23, a resident
ilien living in Brownsville, and Adrian Prado-
lodriguez, 20, and Javier Aguilar-Lozano, 25,
oth of Matamoros, Mexico, to be held without
(bond pending a hearing Friday.
According to the criminal complaint filed
against them, Prado and Aguilar smuggled the
Salvadorans across the border and Garcia began
driving them north.
Several of the aliens made statements indicat
ing they crossed the U.S. border near
Brownsville and were enroute to Houston before
being apprehended Friday on U.S. Highway 59
in Edna, about 100 miles south of Houston.
An officer stopped the truck after noticing de
fective equipment and found the Salvadorans,
covered by blankets, in the open bed of the truck,
Glaze said.
Immigration and Naturalization Service inves
tigator Carl Fisher said only Martinez initially
was a suspect. He said further investigation indi
cated that Prado and Aguilar, who were passen
gers in the truck, also were involved in the smug
gling operation.
Tne INS took 11 men, four women and a 6-
year-old child into custody.
Fisher would not say how much the aliens re
ported paying the smugglers for their passage to
Houston.
Authorities said the aliens were in good physi
cal condition.
