In an account that stunned this quiet community, the woman told authorities that a group of men ab ducted her half a bldck away from her home, took her to a ranch north of town, raped her and urged others attending an illegal cockfight to join in. She said she knew some of her as sailants. “Everybody’s a little shocked and outraged by it,” assistant district at torney Rodolfo V. Gutierrez said. Authorities believe the woman, who has two children, was stripped naked and raped repeatedly for sev eral hours in the backseat of a car, said Ricardo Carrillo, a Duval County assistant district attorney. Carrillo said some of the men watching the cock fights inside a nearby shed heard the women’s cries for help, but did nothing, while oth ers joined in the sexual assault. “Some were holding her by the legs and by the arms, and some were covering her eyes and mouth,” Car rillo said. Seven men have been charged with sexual assault, three have been charged with sexual assault and kid napping and one has been charged only with kidnapping, Justice of the Peace Amado Garcia Jr. said. Officials say 20 to 30 men were at the ranch. “A lot of people were present that did not participate, didn’t assault her, but at the same time they didn’t do anything to help her or do any thing to stop the other people from assaulting her,” Gutierrez said. “Even though legally they may not be responsible, morally they didn’t do anything to try and prevent this from happening or to stop it once it started.” Carrillo said the woman was walk ing home from her uncle’s house, about one-half block away, at about 11 p.m. Saturday when several men forced her into a car and took her to the ranch where the assaults took place. “Some of them we’ve brought in have admitted it,” Carrillo said. “Some are not talking.” He said the woman knew some of her assailants and identified others, but she said some covered their faces while attacking her. The woman reported returning home early Sunday morning after four men had taken her to another location, raped her again and then dropped her off somewhere near her home, Carrillo said. The woman’s husband had been looking for her all night, he added. She was treated at Humana Hos pital in Corpus Christi and released earlier this week, authorities said. People in the remote South Texas town of about 5,000 are frightened by the incident, said a 44-year-old San Diego woman, who says she will keep a closer watch on her three daughters. “You expect something like this to happen in Corpus or San Antonio or Defense Department awards $48 million job to Austin firm CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) — An Austin company has been awarded $48,335 million contract to begin the first phase of construction for Naval Station Ingleside, Defense Depart ment officials say. The facility will serve as home port for five U.S. Navy ships. Vic McNallie, vice president of Clearwater Constructors Inc. of Austin, said the announcement will mean more than 500 jobs for crafts men in the area. Construction is ex pected to take about 2‘A years. The pact includes construction of a berthing pier, a wharf, utilities and site improvements at Ingleside Point. Clearwater Constructors was the second-lowest bidder last year with a bid of $51.6 million. The company, a division of Phelps Inc. of Greeley, Colo., was established in 1972. ‘We’re really proud that we’re fu going to be the first contractor to work on the Ingleside site for the Navy,” McNallie said. He said con struction at the site will not begin for at least 60 days. This week, the General Account ing Office ruled the Navy had the right to disqualify six bids opened Dec. 15 and reopen the bidding process. The GAO ruling turned down bid protests by Metric Constructors of Charlotte, N.C., and H.B. Zachry Co. of San Antonio. The federal agency, in denying the bid protests, ruled against Met ric’s contention that the bidding E rocess would become an “auction” ecause the amount of Metric’s pre vious low bid of $51.3 million had been publicized. The ruling cleared the way for the Dallas, but not in San uie|(i the woman, who asked ncij identified, because inthetoij erybody knows everybody," One of the men charge| next door to her family J months ago, the womans the men charged are frot| Diego, officials said.

Phil Gramm, R-Texas. “It’s a good thing for Texas that we’re moving ahead.” Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, D-Texas, said awarding the contract now would save money, because the cost of steel to the Navy is expected to go up for contracts awarded after April 1. Last year, Congress approved $38.8 million to begin construction at Ingleside. In addition to federal funds, state and local funds will pay for part of Homeport’s initial con struction costs. - toionvi Minu Man shoots | refused himself dull Is hospital sti ODESSA (AP) - A old patient seriously wournis ter apparently shooting in a hospital room unii surgery Wednesday,hospr. cials said.
