DALLAS (AP) — Walker Railey’s
aother-in-law has filed a civil lawsuit
state court accusing the former
lethodist minister of maliciously
nd brutally trying to strangle his
ife, who has been in a coma since
he attack.
Billy Jo Nicolai of Tyler filed the
Tuesday, claiming Railey “inten-
ionally, knowingly and brutally at-
|empted to strangle his wife, Peggy
ailey, to death,” attorney Bill Ar-
ild of Dallas said.
Arnold, who represents Nicolai,
aid the next step was to serve Railey
citation that requires him to answer
o the court.
Arnold told the Associated Press
n Wednesday that process was un-
er way, but he wasn’t certain offi-
ials knew the exact whereabouts of
Railey, who moved to California in
November.
Mrs. Railey, 39, was choked nearly
to death at her home the night of
April 21. Although she remains in a
coma at a Tyler nursing home, doc
tors say she has little chance of re
covery.
“We’re seeking damages for Peg
gy’s medical bills, past and future,
and her mental pain and anguish,
past and future, and her physical im-
! pairment and the loss of her enj<
ment of the love of her children,
family and friends,” Arnold said.
The 40-year-old former senior
pastor of the First United Methodist
Church of Dallas has not been
charged with any crime and has den
ied any involvement in the attack.
He surrendered his credentials as a
Methodist minister last fall, waived
guardianship of his wife to her par
ents and placed his children in the
temporary custody of friends.
Railey has said he studied late at
two Southern Methodist University
libraries and arrived home at 12:40
a.m. on April 22 to find his wife
unconscious on the garage floor.
The lawsuit alleged that before
going to the library, Railey visited a
woman named Lucy Papillon.
Papillon, a Dallas psychologist,
told a grand jury in July that she and
Railey had dated for more than a
year and had taken several trips to
gether.
The lawsuit alleged Railey ap
peared at SMU’s Bridwell Library
briefly and then, between 9 and 11
p.m., returned home, the lawsuit
said. The suit charged that Railey
then drove to the Fondren Library
atSMU.
At 12:03 a.m. on April 22 —about
30 minutes before he reported find
ing his wife — Railey left a message
on his home answering machine giv
ing a wrong time and suggesting that
Mrs. Railey lock the garage door,
court documents said.
Railey took the Fifth Amendment
repeatedly before the July grand
jury.
Police said Railey attempted sui
cide 10 days after the attack and
later received psvciafnV tre-^mem

Correction
In a front-page story that ap
peared in Monday’s issue of The
Battalion, it was incorrectly re
ported that hydrogen could be
used to make solar cells that are
up to 60 percent energy efficient.
The correct figure is 20 percent,
said John Appleby, director of
the Center for Electrochemical
Systems and Hydrogen Research
at Texas A&M.
In the interview, Appleby did
say that an energy efficiency of 60
percent might be attained in the
future, but said the use of super
conducting technology would be
needed.
HEMPHILL, Texas (AP) — Sher
iff Blan Greer says he’s interviewing
black applicants for a position va
cated by the suspensions of two dep
uties charged with violating the civil
rights of a black man, who died after
being beaten in jail.
“This is something I’ve wanted to
do for years,” said Greer, who claims
he wasn’t prompted by allegations of
racism against the department fol
lowing the Dec. 27 death of Loyal
Garner Jr.
Greer suspended Deputies Bill
Horton, 58, and James Hyden, 34,
on Jan. 6 after their indictment by a
Sabine County grand jury on
charges of violating Garner’s civil
rights.
Greer said Tuesday that he has in
terviewed several black applicants in
recent weeks to fill one of the jobs,
but none had the necessary qualifica
tions.
Greer said he might hire one of
the applicants as a jailer under a
temporary certification, promoting
him to deputy after he becomes fully
certified.
Garner, a 34-year-old Louisiana
truck driver, died in a Tyler hospi
tal. He and two companions had
been jailed in Sabine County on a
traffic violation on Christmas Day.
A group called Concerned Citi
zens of Sabine County wants to see
blacks on the town or county police
force.
Greer said he wasn’t prompted to
examine black applicants for the job
because of community pressure, but
had been planning such a move for a
long time.
