Murder : for-hire
trial moved
from Houston
HOUSTON (AP) — The trial of a
man accused of being the middle
man in a bungled murder-for-hire
scheme is being moved from Hous
ton because of widespread publicity
in the recent Soldier of Fortune
magazine trial.
U.S. District Judge James DeAnda
said Monday that the trial of Richard
Michael Savage will be moved to
Brownsville, McAllen or San Anto
nio. He will preside and the trial is
scheduled to begin in three or four
weeks.
DeAnda granted a defense mo
tion to transfer Savage’s trial out of
Houston after 61 of 66 potential ju
rors said they were aware of a civil
lawsuit involving Soldier of Fortune.
Savage is accused of arranging the
attempted murder for a Colorado
woman who answered his “gun for
hire” advertisement in Soldier of
Fortune. If convicted, he faces up to
40 years in prison and $1.5 million
in Fines.
A Houston federal jury last week
slapped Soldier of Fortune with a
$9.4 million judgment for running a
classified ad that led to the murder
of Sandra Kay Black of Bryan at the
hands of a hit man.
Black’s husband, Robert, hired
John Wayne Hearn after meeting
him through a personal classified ad
in the magazine, according to testi
mony in the trial. Both men are on
death row in connection with the
slaying.
The Black killing and the at
tempted murder in which Savage is
charged are not related.
Savage is accused of arranging the
attempted murder of Dana Free on
behalf of a dying widow who was re
portedly angry over losing her life
savings in a business deal with Free.
The widow, Alice V. Brado, 48, of
Aurora, Colo., was the beneficiary of
a $500,000 life insurance policy
taken out on Free and apparently
had once been romantically involved
with him, federal officials said.
Officials say Savage hired a Ten
nessee man and woman to kill Free,
but the pair botched the job when
they threw grenades into an empty
Pasadena house in October 1985.
Nuclear plant
starts work
for first time
BAY CITY (AP) — The South
Texas Nuclear Project took an im
portant step toward producing elec
tricity when the billion-dollar plant
operated for the first time Tuesday,
officials said.
“We produced steam but rather
than route it to produce electricity,
we redirected it to a turbine,” said
Houston Lighting & Power Co.
spokesman Graham Painter. “We
want to check out the reactor before
we begin production. And every
thing went exactly as expected.”
Painter said the process would be
repeated for about two weeks, then
the company will request permission
from the Nuclear Regulatory Com
mission for an operating license.
Permission may be granted by the
end of the month.
HL&P is the managing partner of
the plant, about 90 miles southwest
of Houston.
The move was not a major mile
stone, but a very important step to
ward producing electricity, Painter
said.
But Tom Smith, director of the
Texas Public Citizen consumer
group, said allegations say the plant
is not safe and the group is urging
the NRC not to issue an operating li
cense.
A hearing on whether the plant
should be licensed is scheduled
March 22 in Washington, D.C.
Smith said his national consumer
group will probably ask the commis
sion to complete and release its in
vestigation results before granting a
license.
