Secret Service
finds $16 million
in bogus bills
HOUSTON (AP) — More than
$16 million in counterfeit money
was seized here in the largest haul of
bogus cash in U.S. Secret Service his
tory, officials said Tuesday.
The fake money, along with three
printing presses, was seized Friday
from the garage of a Houston home
after two men were arrested in Phil
adelphia during an alleged attempt
to distribute the fake money, said
Neal Findley, special agent in charge
of the Secret Service’s field office in
Houston.
“We think we got most of the
money before it got out,” Findley
said.
The two suspects, Sterling E. Lay
man, 47, and Angelo J. Rossetti, 33,
were arrested in Philadelphia on
Jan. 14, Findley said.
“The arrests followed good police
work and good surveillance by our
Philadelphia office,” Findley said,
declining to elaborate on the circum
stances of the arrests.
Using information gained during
questioning of the two men, Secret
Service agents visited Rossetti’s
Houston home, where the coun
terfeit money and presses were
found.
The wives of the two men were at
the house at the time, but were not
arrested, Findley said.
The money and presses, used for
printing $20, $50 and $100 bills,
were taken to the Secret Service’s of
fices, where they were stored for use
as evidence, Findley said.
Findley said a total of $16.66 mil
lion was seized during the raid.
“It is the largest single seizure in
the history of the Secret Service,
which goes back 122 years,” he said.
Findley said he believes a few
thousand dollars worth of the bogus
cash was distributed in Austin and
Houston, and a smaller amount in
Philadelphia.
The men were charged with one
count apiece of possession of coun
terfeit currency, which can carry
maximum penalty of 15 years in
prison and a $5,000 fine.
Lawsuit claims death of man
in jail was racially motivated
HEMPHILL (AP) — A federal
awsuit filed by the family of a black
man who died two days after he al
legedly was beaten unconscious
hile in the Sabine County jail
:laims the incident was racially moti-
ated.
The suit was filed against the city
lof Hemphill, its police chief and two
sheriffs deputies and seeks actual
and punitive damages for the death
of Loyal Garner Jr. The amounts
were not specified.
Garner and two companions were
jailed Christmas night on a traffic vi
olation, and the two companions
have said that Garner was pulled
from his jail cell and beaten
County judges sue for right
to back political candidates
AUSTIN (AP) — County judges
who sponsored a South Texas presi
dential debate filed a lawsuit Tues
day for the right to endorse one or
more candidates for the Democratic
nomination for president, according
to the judges’ lawyer.
The suit against the State Com
mission on Judicial Conduct listed as
plaintiffs judges in the Southwest
Texas region.
The judges met in Laredo on Sun
day to decide which Democratic
presidential candidate to endorse,
but instead they became concerned
about whether they were allowed to
| make an endorsement.
“The fear of the judges was that
I even if we made a decision and
didn’t publicize it, it could still be
; considered an endorsement,” Hi-
! dalgo County Judge J. Edgar Ruiz
said.
“Not as a county judge, but just as
a voter, it restricts me from doing
anything,” Ruiz said.
The judges’ petition said, “Texas
election history is replete with the ac
counts of the political activities of
county judges.”
But it said the Commission on Ju
dicial Conduct had informed the
judges that endorsement of a presi
dential candidate, or other candi
dates, could subject the judges to dis
cipline because the canons of the
Code of Judicial Conduct prohibit
such political activities.
The judges argued that nothing
in the canons prohibit them from
endorsing candidates.
The petition, prepared for state
district court by lawyer Randall
“Buck” Wood, also alleges that the
canons are unconstitutionally vague
and overbroad.

unconscious after he asked to use a
telephone to call his wife.
Garner died Dec. 27, a day after
being hospitalized for his injuries.
An autopsy concluded he died of
head injuries.
Hemphill Police Chief Thomas
Ladner, 40, and Sabine County dep
uties Bill Horton, 58, and James
“Bo” Hyden, 34, later were indicted
by a county grand jury on charges
they violated Garner’s civil rights by
beating him and denying him
needed medical treatment.
On Tuesday, the Southern Pov
erty Law Center in Montgomery,
Ala., filed the civil suit in Tyler on
behalf of Garner’s parents, Sarah
and Loyal Garner Sr., his widow,
Corrine, and her six children, all of
Florien, La.
The suit alleges Garner was “re
turned to his cell and left to suffer
through the night of Dec. 25 and the
morning of Dec. 26,” and that offi
cers “knew he needed medical atten
tion.” It also alleges that the de
fendants caused Garner’s death and
violated his civil rights.
Ladner has been placed on leave
by the Hemphill City Council and
the two deputies have been sus
pended by Sabine County Sheriff
Blan Greer. Telephone calls to
Ladner’s and Horton’s residences
Wednesday were not answered, and
there is no residential listing in
Hemphil for Hyden.
The three men indicted in the
case are white, and Garner was
black.
