AUSTIN (AP) — Ending a fight
to keep the House seat he held for
16 years, Deer Park Democrat Ed
Watson on Monday withdrew his
challenge of the Nov. 8 election that
gave the seat to Republican Mike
Jackson of La Porte by seven votes.
“My information is that the choice
of this committee would be that we
would have another election in
House District 129,” Watson, 68,
told a special House panel appointed
to investigate the matter.
After looking at the "personal sac
rifice” required of himself, his family
and contributors, Watson said, “1
have come to the conclusion, my
familv has come to the conclusion,
that we would request this committee
not to take any further action in this
case."
Recount results in the election
showed Watson losing to Jackson
13,009 to 13,002. Watson contended
there were discrepancies in vote
counting and that he should have
won. Jackson said he won fairly.
The special House committee had
the option of recommending to the
House that Jackson retain the seat,
Watson be seated in his place, or a
special election be called.
Watson said he heard “through
the grapevine” that a new election
would be recommended.
“I think we could’ve won it, but it
would've been a nasty, long, drawn-
out campaign, and very, verv expen
sive.” he said.
Jackson, 35, said he was relieved
the challenge was over.
“We have a lot of work to do and
need to go to work for the constitu
ents in District 129," he said.
Watson asked that the special
panel refer to the House Elections
Committee some information dis
covered during an election investiga
tion. He said 105 voters swore they
were registered, but they were not.
Jackson said voter registration
questions often occur in elections.
For example, people who move
from one precinct to another are
supposed to re-register, but they
mav not, he said.
Rep. Jim Parker, special commit
tee chairman, said he probably
would not formally refer the matter
to the Elections Committee. The
Democrat from Comanche said lie
planned to ask the committee, the at
torney general’s election division
and the secretary of state to unoffi
cially look at whether the affidavit
procedure for voters should be
tightened.

CONROE (AP) — The highly
publicized case of Clarence Lee
Brandley will be in the limelight
again this week when the Texas
Court of Criminal Appeals considers
whether the death row inmate
should be granted a third trial.
The Austin-based court is sched
uled to hear oral arguments
Wednesday before deciding whether
randley, a black man and a former
onroe High School janitor, should
granted a new trial in the rape
nd strangulation of a white Bellville
:een-ager, Cheryl Dee Fergeson.
Wednesday will be the first time
he case has been opened to legal de
bate since a retired state district
judge concluded a 10-day evident
iary hearing in Galveston on Oct. 9,
1987, by recommending Brandley
be granted a new trial, which would
be his third.
Brandley’s supporters call the case
“a burning symbol of racism and
corruption in America.” Retired
Judge Perry D. Pickett of Midland,
who presided over the evidentiary
hearing, apparently agreed.
“The court unequivocally con
cludes that the color of Clarence
Brandley’s skin was a substantial fac
tor which pervaded all aspects of the
state’s capital prosecution against
him,” Pickett wrote in his recom
mendation to the appeals court.
Attorneys for both sides will be
given 20 minutes each to present
their arguments.
Attorneys are approaching the
session cautiously but optimistically.
“If the court rules based on the
law as firmly established and the is
sues before them, there is no way
they’d grant a new trial,” Montgom
ery County District Attorney Pete
Speers said. ,
Speers said the appeals court al
ready has decided the exclusion of
black jurors from the panel that con
victed Brandley did not violate the
defendant’s rights.
Testimony about racist policies
within the district attorney’s office
were false and testimony about a rac
ist atmosphere in the court that con
victed Brandley were “subjective
opinions” from biased observers, the
prosecutor said.
Father says
shooting was
unwarranted
“I’m not leaving this House with
any bitterness towards anyone,’
Watson said.
“1 hope Mr. Jackson the best in his
endeavor,” he said. "1 think when he
gets his first paycheck from the state,
he’s going to wonder, ‘Why in the
heck did I do this in the first place."”'
Lawmakers earn $600 a month.
However, Houston attorney Mike
DeGeurin, Brandley’s lead attorney
on appeal, said the record as devel
oped in the evidentiary hearing
clearly shows the atmosphere in
Montgomery County was so “racially
charged” after Brandley’s arrest that
he “could not get a fair trial.”
Evidence shows racism affected
the manner in which the slaying of
Fergeson, 16, was investigated, the
attitude of the trial judge and the
prosecutor and the testimony of
prosecution witnesses, some of
whom have claimed they lied be
cause of intimidation, DeGeurin
said.
SAN MARCOS (AP) — The fa
ther of a 17-year-old who was shot in
the unlighted bathroom of a mobile
home bv police says he wants more
details about the shooting that left
his son with a bullet lodged near his
spine.
Johnny Lee Brady, who is in the
intensive care unit of Central Texas
Medical Center, was charged Sun
day with burglary of a habitation.
Ernest Brady, the youth’s father,
said he doesn’t believe that all the
facts about his son’s shooting on Sat
urday have come to light.
“My son’s been arrested before,
but it’s wrong that he was shot,”
Brady said.
Police Chief Myron Galchutt said
criminal and administrative investi
gations should be concluded this
week by detectives and internal af
fairs personnel. Findings will be sub
mitted to the district attorney for re
view by a grand jury.
Galchutt said he has seen no evi
dence of wrongdoing by the officer
who fired the shot, patrolman
Wayne Sneed.
