It took jurors in State District Judge Charles Heran’s court about an hour Tuesday to decide that Frances Elaine Newton, 23, should die by injection. The jury’s other punishment option was life in prison. The same jury who sentenced Newton took two hours to find her guilty Mon day. New f >n’s husband, Adrian, 23, was shot oi e in the head as he slept on a couch in the family’s north Harris County apartment on April 4, 1987. Seven-year-old Alton and 21-month-old Farrah were shot in the heart and were found in a bedroom. FYosecutor Joe Magliolo said all evi dence in the circumstantial case indi cated Newton was their killer. The murder weapon, a .25-caliber au tomatic pistol, was found in a bumed-out house next to the home where Mrs. New ton’s mother lived. Authorities were led to the weapon by Mrs. Newton’s cousin, who testified that she saw Newton place a blue bag in a cabinet in the abandoned house on the night of the killings. Newton, prosecutors said, was having an affair and the gun belonged to her boyfriend. The prosecutors also presented evi dence that she had taken out two $50,000 insurance policies — one on her husband and one on her daughter — 21 days be fore the murders. Prosecutors had offered Newton an opportunity to plead guilty to the slaying of her husband in exchange for a life prison sentence. “All along, the state wanted her to take life,’’ defense attorney Catherine Coulter said. “But she wouldn’t have pled for life or 10 years or anything. She wouldn’t have said she killed her chil dren even for 10 days in the County Jail.’’ Another defense lawyer said the trial would have ended in a much different manner if Newton had simply killed her husband. “The dead kids got us the penalty,” defense attorney Ron Mock said after talking to jurors. “The jury felt killing them was inexcusable.” The other women on Texas’ death row are Karla Faye Tucker, sentenced to die for the pickax slayings of Deborah Ruth Davis Thornton and Jerry Lynn Dean, and Pamela Perillo sentenced to die in 1984 for the strangulations of Robert Banks and Bob Skeens. Recipient of transplan ts leaves Dallas DALLAS (AP) — Stormie Jones, who successfully underwent a heart-liver transplant in 1984, left a Dallas hospital Wednesday to undergo an evaluation of her liver in Pittsburgh, officials said. Barbara Portmann, a spokesman for Children’s Medical Center said the young girl was admitted to the hospital Sept. 28 to determine whether she was suffering liver rejection. “She is indeed suffering from chronic rejection of the liver,” Portmann said. Ann Harrell, a spokeswoman for the University of Texas Southwestern Medi cal Center, said the 11-year-old girl would undergo tests with Dr. Thomas Starzel at Children’s Hospital in Pitts burg. “She’s been having some symptoms, that could have been problems, with her liver,” Harrell said. “It’s her liver that’s giving her problems. As far as we know, the heart is not involved yet. ’ ’ The Fort Worth-area child had been hospitalized about one month at Chil dren’s Medical Center here, Harrell said. Her condition was stable Wednesday. “She was the first surviving tandem transplant that involved a liver and a heart,” Harrell said. Stormie received her new heart and liver Feb. 14, 1984 at Children’s Hospi tal in Pittsburgh. She suffered from a rare congenital disease that had increased the cholesterol in her blood to nearly higher than normal levels.
