Appeals court
throws out
death sentence
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas
Court of Criminal Appeals has
thrown out the death sentence of a
Lubbock murderer, ordering in
stead that he spend life in prison.
In a 5-4 decision, the appeals
court on Wednesday said there was
insufficient evidence to prove that
Jim David Huffman would commit
future acts of criminal violence if not
executed.
The court let the capital murder
conviction stand, but changed the
sentence to life in prison.
Htiffman was found guilty in the
Feb. 14, 1984, strangulation of Jea
nette Peters, 48, a nurse who was a
neighbor of Huffman’s in a Lubbock
trailer park.
Huffman, 22 at the time of the
slaying, had a history of drug and al
cohol abuse and a prior criminal re
cord, court records indicate. But the
appeals court said there was no evi
dence of prior criminal acts of vio
lence.
Presiding Judge John Onion’s ma
jority opinion was joined by Judges
Sam Houston Clinton, Marvin Tea
gue, Michael McCormick and Chuck
Miller. Dissenting were Judges W.C.
Davis, Charles Campbell, Bill White
and M.P. Duncan.
Also Wednesday, the appeals
court let stand the death sentence
ordered for an Austin man con
victed in the 1983 slaying of a Uni
versity of Texas student who was ab
ducted on campus and sexually
assaulted before being shot to death
in Williamson County.
Teague was the only dissenter in
the Court of Criminal Appeals deci
sion, registering his opposition to
the majority’s ruling on one of Jack
son’s appeal points.
Loan default
results in sale
of historic hotel
GALVESTON (AP) — T he his
toric Hotel Galvez, a Galveston is
land landmark since 1911, was sold
Tuesday during a foreclosure auc
tion after its owner defaulted on a $7
million loan.
Owned by Marirter-Galvez Ltd., a
hotel-motel development 1 company
headed by Houston Port Commis
sioner Chairman Archie Bennett Jr.,
the luxury hotel was listed for fore
closure by Aetna Life Instirance Co.
of Hartford, Conn., after Mariner
defaulted on the loan.
The hotel, which has remained
open for business, was auctioned off
to Aetna for $7.6 million.
Mariner bought the Galvez in
1979 from Dr. Leon Bromberg of
Galveston and Harvey McCarty of
Rock Island, Ill., who closed its
doors in 1978.
After a $10 million facelift that re
stored it to its plush splendor, it was
finally reopened in June 1980 under,
the management of the Marriott Ho
tels and Resorts chain.
Since its inital opening in 1911,
the 225-room Galvez has been host
to such notables as President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, Gen. Douglas
McArthur, entertainer Frank Sina
tra and thousands of tourists.
The Galvez, like Galveston, is
named for Bernardo de Galvez, the
Spanish grandee who was viceroy of
Mexico at the time of the American
Revolution.
It was built 77 years ago for $1
million.
“The Queen of the Gulf,” as it was
known, flourished for decades, at
tracting the greatest notoriety when
President Roosevelt used it as the
Summer White House while on a
tarpon Fishing vacation in the Gulf
of Mexico before World War II.
Listed in the National Register of
Histoiic Places, the Galvez also
served as U.S. Coast Guard head
quarters from 1942-44.
The hotel, however, gradually de
teriorated, becoming vacant in 1978.
Heart surgeon Dr. Denton
Cooley, who is now in bankruptcy
reorganization of his real estate
holdings, and Bennett, head of the
Houston-based Mariner Corp., com
pleted renovation of the property
and held a gala reopening in the
early 1980s.
The Galvez later underwent ex
tensive repairs after being heavily
damaged by Hurricane Alicia in
1983.

Map Discussion:
There are two primary considerations in making the forecast today; first, the
advance of a very strong arctic air mass from the North Central U.S. that will lead
to much colder temperatures Friday night and Saturday. Secondly, there isstro«
concern regarding the moisture from Baja across northern Mexico and the
southern half of Texas. This combination may lead to a freezing rain/drizzle
situation late Friday night and Saturday. Elsewhere, snow will occur from the
Great Lakes through New England and through the Northern Rockies.
Forecast:
Today.C\ou6y and cool. High 46 degrees. Winds northeast at 12 mph, with
intermittent drizzle or light rain.
Tonight. Overcast and cold. Low of 36 with light east-northeasterly winds and
continuing light drizzle.
Friday. Continued cloud cover and turning colder, high 42, with intermittent
drizzle, and northeast winds of 7 to 15 mph. The greatest threat of freezing
precipitation will be Friday night and Saturday. Expect Saturday's high to onlybs
near 30 degrees.
