Border Patrol seizes
some spiders, snake:
EL PASO (AP) — Cocaine and marijuana are still the
major targets, but spiders and snakes are showing up in
some contraband searches.
So are iguanas, desert tortoises and just about any
thing else that creeps or crawls, officials say.
Federal and state officials who patrol Arizona’s bor
ders don’t keep tabs on their living hauls the way they
keep a count of kilos and bales they seize, but consider
the numbers in two recent cases:
• On July 28, 1987, the U.S. Border Patrol seized
3,000 iguanas and several hundred tarantulas that were
being smuggled into the United States through No
gales, Mexico.
• On March 23, the U.S. Customs Service confis
cated 1,600 tarantulas and 500 iguanas from a pickup
truck as it tried to cross the border.
“We’re not seeing a vast amount cross the border,”
Tom McDermott, agent in charge for the customs of
fice in Tucson, said. “It’s just in the course of our nor
mal customs-type of exams.”
Assistant U.S. Attorney Reese Bostwick, who is pros
ecuting Jorge Manuel Martinez-Quintero in the March
23 incident, says there is a real market out there for al
most anything that is rare, even when it would make
most people’s flesh crawl.
Bostwick, who handled wildlife cases for the Pima
County attorney’s office before switching to the federal
prosecutor’s office, recalls trailer home bedrooms
where walls were lined with reptile cases and closets
held canvas bags full of poisonous snakes.
“There’s big bucks involved,” Bostwick added, saying
tarantulas go for $1.25 each while Gila monsters can sell
for $50 to $75 apiece and the endangered twin-spotted
rattlesnake fetches $ 100 to $ 150.
Although traffic in endangered or protected species
“Anytime you conceal something j |
bring it across the border and don’t,
dare it, you are violating a generalsmi, I
glingstatute. ”

customs officeagm
such as 18 types of iquanas is a special focus of;
agencies as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,ci;
common species can draw the attention of cuj
agents.
“Anytime you conceal something and bring it J
the border and don’t declare it, you are violating)!
eral smuggling statute,” McDermott says.
That’s true even when the item is duty-fret
added, citing laws on declaring currency andjeweli
Smuggling of endangered species and their pdj
a bigger concern in the 1970s, but drugs provides
ger margin of profit and it’s going to take just asij
room to smuggle in a tarantula as a more-profrj
amount of cocaine, he adds.
Still, officers tend to jump back a few feet when]
open a box that looks as though it could contain;]
but find a boa constrictor, says Assistant Chiefs
Moser of the U.S. Border Patrol’s Tucson sector, i
Hunting a protected species not only devastate!
population but often also ruins the only habiu
which the species can live, Bostwick said.
‘Red Baron’ pilot
remains mystery
for WWI buffs
AUSTIN (AP) — A misty rain and
low overcast allowed Capt. Manfred
von Richthofen to sleep late Sunday,
April 21, 1918, but when the Ger
man ace climbed into his bright red
triplane to hunt for enemy aircraft
along the Somme River in France, it
would be his last flight.
Richthofen was shot down before
noon and the question of who killed
the “Red Baron” would become a
timeless controversy for World War
1 and aviation history buffs.
Jim Butler, a veteran airman, built
a duplicate of the Fokker DR-1 the
German ace flew as leader of his Fly
ing Circus Squadron and provides
part of the answer.
“Richthofen was supposed to be
the best and I wanted to see for my
self,” explained the 45-year-old But
ler, owner of an aerial sign company
based at North Perry Airport.
The son of a German army major,
Richthofen was a cavalry officer
when, at 23, a pilot friend taught
him to fly. He soloed Oct. 10, 1915,
but crashed making his first landing.
When he was killed about 2 years
later, he had shot down 80 planes —
more than any other pilot in World
War I.
Butler soloed at 16 in Manchester,
N.H., and moved here in 1953 when
his father, an aviator, began a ban
ner-towing service.
However, Butler and aviation me
chanic Ned Ames began construct
ing the famed triplane in 1977 from
copies of plans by its Dutch designer,
Anthony Fokker.
Thirteen months and almost
$30,000 later, Butler flew his Fokker
for the first time Aug. 28, 1978.
“We duplicated the weight and
balance, but I wouldn’t put it into a
spin and if I did, I think I’d have to
jump out,” Butler said.
With its three wings, a pilot could
hold the aircraft steady, Butler said,
and use it as a platform for two
Spandau machine guns mounted in
front of the open cockpit.
As Richthofen led his squadron
that fateful morning, 24-year-old
Capt. Roy Brown, a Toronto, Can
ada, native in the Royal Air Force,
took off in his Sopwith fighter from
an airfield in Bertangles, France, 25
miles to the west.
Brown had learned to fly in Day-
ton, Ohio, and suffered from stom
ach ulcers. Richthofen endured re
current headaches from a head
wound.
The two squadrons met and Aus
tralian ground troops watched as a
“dogfight” ensued overhead be
tween 12 German and eight British
planes.
When Brown saw a bright red
“tripe,” as triplanes were called,
chase 2nd Lt. Wilfred May, who was
on his first combat sortie, he pushed
his fighter into a dive and went to his
friend’s aid.
The three planes, lined one be
hind the other, dropped to below
100 feet of the ground. Richthofen
fired at the fleeing Sopwith, but was
distracted when Brown shot at him
from behind.
Brown got closer, opened fire
again, saw bullets hit the Fokker DR-
1 and watched the pilot slump for
ward. The aircraft continued, skim
ming the deck for an estimated one
or two miles.
The plane crashed, and Ger
many’s great hero was dead. When
Allied troops examined the wreck
age and learned the pilot’s identify,
the plane was stripped for souvenirs.
Brown was given credit for his
11th and last enemy plane shot
down. He died of a heart attack on a
Stouffville, Ont., farm March 9,
1944.
“There is no way that plane will
fly one or two miles without some
one fully at the controls,” em
phasized Butler.
Butler is often asked the final
question: Who killed the Red Baron?
“Not Capt. Roy Brown,” he re
plies.

DALLAS (AP) — The Dd
County District Attorney sad

capital murder of a policeoffeB
but says a film challenging^
conviction did not cause hur ffl

“The Thin Blue Line" oped
over the weekend in Dallas d

Adams in the shooting deatfd
Dallas police officer Robd
Wood.
The film contends that pe l
and prosecutors railroaded d
ams and suggest that the:::
killer was David Harris, aw
ager who was the State’s chieh
ness against Adams.
Randy Schaffer, Adams an

Vance refuses, Schalfer said
would use the informationtov

“My mind’s not closed," Var
said. “I’m just saying 1 viewed:

Harris testified that he saw A

The film also challenges
credibility of several witness
who testified against Adams
Vance said none has recan:
their testimony and that Ham:

“The only thing that’s diffei
