Sympathy from relatives and friends of the defendants would not necessarily hamper selection of a fair and impartial jury in the South Texas community of about 5,000, said Rodolfo Gutierrez, first assis tant district attorney for the 229th Judicial District. “It’s very difficult for us to ask for a change of venue,” Gutierrez said Tuesday. “We would have to show lawles sness in the community or some sort of conspiracy” to move the trial, Gu tierrez said. “And I don’t believe that to be true.” Nor have attorneys representing the 10 men indicted on charges of sexual assault and/or aggravated kidnapping and kidnapping asked for changes of venue. The 19-year-old woman, also a San Diego resident at the time of the March 26 incident, told authorities that she was kidnapped and raped by 12 to 15 men over a period of sev eral hours. One of the witnesses in the case is a 12-year-old boy who reportedly has been ostracized by his playmates since he started cooperating with au thorities. “It’s definitely going to be difficult for the victim and the 12-year-old boy to testify .... (The woman) is upset with the whole thing, and that’s understandable,” Gutierrez said. “But she is ready to testify.” The prosecutor said the boy also is ready for the first trial, scheduled for July 11. The defendants are being tried individually on the sexual assault charges and in groups in the kidnap ping cases. Judge Ricardo H. Garcia has set bonds at $100,000 for each aggra vated kidnapping charge and $50,000 on each sexual assault charge.

Margaret “Peggy” Railey, who has been comatose since being attacked in the garage of her Dallas home, entered Baylor Institute for Rehabilitation under tight ened security Tuesday for a comprehensive evaluation and rehabilitation Railey is the wife of a former promi nent Methodist minister, Walker Railey, who resigned his ministerial credentials and moved to California after the April 21,1987 attack. No criminal charges have been filed, but Railey’s at torney has characterized him as the prime suspect in the attack. Authorities say their investigation is at a standstill. Doctors will try both to bring Railey out of the coma and develop therapies to improve her long term com fort and care during the program, which could last two months, said Dr. William L. Parker, medical director for the institute. “If we can establish anything that seems to stimulate a response that could be interpreted as functional, then we would continue to try, through repetition, to im prove on that and then other responses would follow,” Parker said at a news conference Railey, 39, was taken to a Tyler nursing home last fall after months of care at another Dallas hospital. Parker said his team is making the first comprehen sive evaluation of Railey’s injuries at the request of her parents. “There has been what looks like some slight im provement. in her condition” over months, Parker said, adding her eyes sometimes focus and follow movement. Railey can turn her head and hear, but doesn’t process what she hears. He said he didn’t think his team of 12 s therapists would be able to completely dew: I whether Railey will communicate again. “There’s no total way to tell,” Parker said 'lea: that she will never, no. I think the odds are pi going to be against it, but time is only thing that “If there’s any indication at all that we can pic all of our treatment that’s going to be helpful toll help bring any, slight even, communication efte the family’s sake and for her sake, the wholepsyd ical aspect of her care is going to be changed. 1 ' Railey, former senior pastor at the First l Methodist Church in Dallas, said he found lii unconscious on the garage floor of their hometlw of the attack.

Government awards fundi to B-CS for local housing By Mary Huron Reporter The federal government has awarded $134,000 to the city of Bryan and $206,000 to Brazos County to provide housing assis tance to low income families. The money can be used to pay rent for needy families, to create more housing and to aid housing of ficials with more operating assis tance.
