Man slated for death
gets execution stay
from federal judge
Lawyer declares
candidacy plans
for appeals court
AUSTIN (AP) — The president
of the Travis County Bar Associa
tion declared his candidacy for the
3rd Court of Appeals on Tuesday,
charging that incumbent Justice Jim
Brady won the seat because of voter
confusion over his name.
“His upset victory in 1982 came in
the wake of a year of intense na
tional press attention over the
wounding of President Reagan’s
press secretary, Jim Brady, in the as
sassination attempt,” lawyer Woodie
Jones said.
“This seems to have been a clear
case of name confusion,” Jones said.
Jones also charged that Brady’s
decision to issue a news release about
a court ruling last week -— which
ended with the court withdrawing its
ruling — raised questions about the
judge’s abilities.
“Ethical questions about Jim Bra
dy’s recent conduct focus appropri
ate attention on his integrity and ju
dicial qualifications, as well as his
initial election to the bench,” the
challenger said.
“Jim Brady’s recent action ap
pears to be a desperate attempt to
rebuild name identification as the fa
miliarity of his name fades,” Jones
said. “During the course of this cam
paign, I think we will find that last
week’s embarrassment was not
merely an isolated incident, or a mo
mentary lapse in otherwise good
judgment, but part of a pattern
which calls into question Jim Brady’s
ability to serve on the 3rd Court of
Appeals.”
Brady last week issued a news re
lease shortly after the court had
ruled in favor of the Wall Street
Journal in a libel case. Brady’s news
release said the opinion, which he
had authored, had “breathed fresh
new life into the First Amendment
freedom of the press . .
Chief Justice Bob Shannon of the
3rd Court the following day an
nounced that the ruling and opinion
were being withdrawn, and the exec
utive director of the State Commis
sion on Judicial Conduct said he in
tended to .take the matter to the
commission for its consideration.
Jones, 38, also a Democrat, said he
already had enlisted more than
1,000 lawyers to serve on his cam
paign steering committee.
HUNTSVILLE (AP) — A federal
judge granted a stay of execution
Tuesday for Curtis Lee Johnson, a
death row inmate slated for lethal in
jection after midnight for a slaying
in which $8 and a camera were
taken.
U.S. District Judge Gabrielle Mc
Donald in Houston granted the stay
for Johnson, 33, who was to die for
the September 1983 slaying of Mur
ray Sweat, district court clerk Melissa
Steinbacher said.
Sweat, 25, was shot and killed dur
ing a burglary of his Houston apart
ment.
Johnson’s request for a stay was
rejected Monday by the Texas Court
of Criminal Appeals. His attorney,
James F. Keegan, then took the mo
tion to McDonald.
Keegan is challenging the presen
tation of evidence during the pun
ishment phase of Johnson’s trial, ar
guing that evidence presented
during the guilt-innocence portion
should not be used again during the
punishment phase.
If the judge had denied the stay,
Keegan said he was ready to ask the
5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
for a stay. He already filed the ap
peal with that court in New Orleans.
Jones was convicted of burglary
and robbery and is serving a 45-year
prison term.
A former laborer, Johnson has a
lengthy criminal record beginning in
1971 with arrests for auto theft, bur
glary and aggravated robbery.
At the time of his arrest for the
Sweat slaying, Johnson was on pa
role after serving five years of a 15-
year term for aggravated robbery.
Three other Texas death row in
mates have execution dates pending
this year. Texas has more than 250
men and three women with death
sentences.
Since 1982, when the state re
sumed the death penalty, 26 men
have been executed, including six
this year.
Illegitimate-heirs claim wins
$500,000 estate for women
TYLER (AP) — In one of the first
uses of a change in state probate law,
a Smith County jury awarded two
women an estate valued at as much
as $500,000 after they claimed to be
illegitimate daughters of a Tyler
man.
A county court-at-law jury delib
erated about two hours Monday be
fore deciding Nikita Rogers, 24, of
Balch Springs, and Lepaula Lang
Jarmon, 32, of Austin, are the bi
ological children of Leport Walton.
The case is believed to be one of
the first tried under provisions of
House Bill 365, which makes it eas
ier for illegitimate heirs to be de
clared legitimate for the purpose of
inheritance.
The law took effect Sept. 1.
“I think this will encourage illegit
imate children to come forward and
claim rights of heirship,” Chris Jack-
son, an attorney for Rogers, said af
ter the verdict was read.
Attorney Ben Martin, represent
ing Jarmon, said the change in the
law permits illegitimate children to
claim heirship without documenta
tion from the deceased father.
During the five-day trial, Rogers
and Jarmon testified they saw Wal
ton regularly, that he sometimes
gave them money and that he ac
knowledged he was their father.
But attorneys for the plaintiffs
presented no written evidence that
Walton, who did not leave a will, rec
ognized the women as his children.
Walton, 72, died Oct. 20 in Tyler.
