FBI agents look into hijacking
of San Antonio company plain
SAN ANTONIO (AP) —, FBI
agents are investigating the hijack
ing and theft of a commuter plane
whose pilots were left tied up on the
ground after being forced to land in
remote northern Mexico, officials
said.
FBI Special Agent Pat Cowley said
agents had questioned the pilot and
sales agent who worked for Chapar
ral Aviation Inc. of San Antonio
about the hijacking.
The nine-seat plane was comman
deered in mid-air over the Rio
Grande Valley. Chaparral officials
said mid-air hijackings of private
planes are rare.
“It’s an unusual way to do it,”
Chaparral General Manager Dick
Hetzel said Tuesday. “Airplanes get
stolen, but usually they just take it
like you steal a car.”
The two Chaparral employees
had flown from San Antonio to
McAllen on Monday to meet with
some people who said they were in
terested in buying the plane.
“They must have presented them
selves that way,” Hetzel said of the
thieves. “They wanted the airplane,
obviously.”

Texas banking commissioner resign
seeks Austin private business intere
AUSTIN (AP) — Texas Savings apd Loan Com
missioner L. Linton Bowman III said Wednesday
he is leaving his post to go into private business
consulting with financial institutions.
Bowman, who submitted his resignation to the
savings and loan section of the Finance Commis
sion of Texas, said he has been planning the
move since January because he became vested in
the state retirement system this year.
His resignation from the $77,250-a-year job is
effective Nov. 16.
Bowman, 58, said his retirement as the state’s
chief thrift regulator is not related to controversy
that arose this year over his partnership in a real
estate company with the former chairman of a
failed Dallas thrift.
In financial disclosure statements. Bowman
listed a partnership in Cottonwood Investments
Inc. with former Vernon Savings 8c Loan Asso
ciation chairman Patrick King.
Vernon was declared insolvent this year, and
regulators charged in a federal lawsuit that King
and other former officers “looted" the thrift.
“This decision (to resign) was made back in
January,” said Bowman, who has been commis
sioner since 1983. Bowman said his consulting
firm will be based in Austin and will offer a vari
ety of services to financial institutions. It will spe
cialize in helping savings and loans handle newly
acquired real estate, he said.
“You’ve got a fantastic amount of real estate
out there that’s owned by savingsandk

Jury orders Southland Insurance
to pay $3.1 million in death claim
LIPSCOMB, Texas (AP) — A jury
rejected Southland Life Insurance
Co.’s reasons for refusing to honor
the policy of a Booker banker who
died last year in a plane crash, and
ordered the company to pay $3.1
million to his widow.
The jury said Tuesday the com
pany was guilty of withholding pay
ment on a $700,000 policy to Glen
Lemon’s widow, Helaine. Court re
cords show Lemon held about $12.2
million in coverage when Jhe died in
the crash near Liberal, Kan., in No
vember.
Records show that most of the in
surance was bought nine months
prior to his death. This prompted
speculation that Lemon could have
staged his death or committed sui
cide.
Southland is one of five compa
nies that withheld life insurance pay
ments to Lemon’s estate. The others
are Massachusetts Indemnity and
Life, Security Connecticut, Great
American Reserve and American
Mutual.
sented his wealth by concealing mil
lions of dollars of other life
insurance so he could get a policy
from it, Lozier said.
“I really have no comment at this
time,” Robert Vlach, Southland vice
president and general counsel, said
Wednesday of the jury award.
American Mutual refuses to pay un
til a jury decides if Lemon lied to get
the policy, said Dick Lozier, an
American Mutual attorney. Ameri
can Mutual claims Lemon misrepre-
Southland Life had based its refu
sal to pay on the same grounds.
Lemon’s brother, Robert Lemon,
and family attorney Marvin Jones
called the verdict a clear signal for
the four other insurance companies
to pay up.
Lemon’s widow consented in early
August to American Mutual’s re
quest to have her husband’s body ex
humed to verify the identity of the
body. The Sept. 26 autopsy con
firmed Lemon’s body was in the
Heart Cemetery grave near Booker.
Alien-smuggler’s brother receives
18-month federal prison sentence
EL PASO (AP) — The brother of
notorious alien-smuggler “El Chap-
ulin” has been sentenced to 18
months in federal prison for smug
gling three aliens in a railroad box
car, officials said Wednesday.
Arturo Hernandez Garcia, 32,
was sentenced for his role in smug
gling three Peruvian nationals from
Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, to Fort
Worth in a railroad boxcar, U.S.
Border Patrol spokesman Michael
Wheat said.
Garcia is the brother of Enrique
Hernandez Garcia, whose Spanish
nickname translates to “The Grass-
hoppe
The sole survivor in the Sierra
Blanca boxcar tragedy that left 18
people dead gave authorities infor
mation that led to Arturo Hernan
dez Garcia’s arrest, Wheat said. Au
thorities believe the still-missing
Grasshopper was responsible for
that incident.
Arturo Garcia “was arrested July
8 in Fort Worth based on informa
tion given by the survivor of the
Sierra Blanca boxcar tragedy,”
Wheat said.
Miguel Tostado Rodriguez was
the lone survivor among 19 illegal
aliens trying to sneak across the bor-
lo
der in a locked, airtight boxcar.
Rodriguez pointed out his cousin
at a Fort Worth drop house where
nine illegal aliens were found.
Wheat said. The cousin directed
agents to a second drophouse, where
authorities found Garcia, he said.
A U.S. Marshal picked up Garcia
from an El Paso detention center
and will determine in which federal
penetentiary Garcia will serve his
sentence.
