EVERMAN (AP) — The mother of a 5-year-old boy
who died after drinking 10 ounces of bourbon at a
party has been charged in the boy’s death, police said
Monday.
Patricia Griffin, 31, was charged with injury to a child
by gross negligence in the death of her son, Raymond
Thomas Griffin II, last week, said Everman Police
Chief Roger Larm.
The offense is a third-degree felony punishable by
up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
“We feel she was negligent in getting him the medical
attention when it was needed,” Larm said. “An ambu
lance wasn’t called until 16 hours after the original con
sumption of alcohol, and 12 hours after he started be
ing seriously ill.”

son drink the alcohol, but she was told immediately af
terward and apparently did nothing.
The child died last Wednesday, 11 hours after being
removed from life support machines.
Police say Raymond was urged to drink the alcohol
“like a man” by an adult at the neighborhood gathering
at his home March 2.
Anthony Jimerson, 21, has been charged with first-
degree felony injury to a child and is being held in the
Tarrant County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bond. Griffin is
being held under $ 10,000 bond.
Witnesses have told police that Jimerson wanted the
boy to go to sleep so ne could be alone with Griffin,
Larm said.
Griffin has said the statements upset her. “I didn’t
know he was saying that,” she said last week.
Another child, Rasad Griffin, 2, has been removed
from the home since Raymond’s death. A hearing
Tuesday will determine whether he stays in foster care.
Doctors say the boy suffered irreversible brain dam
age after ingesting the bourbon and some beer and had
a mood alcohol content of .55, which is five times the le
gal definition of intoxication in Texas.
Officers said the boy drank roughly the equivalent of
a fifth of alcohol for an average adult.

Hearing date set for Canadians
charged with federal bribery
DALLAS (AP) — A hearing has
been set for Tuesday to consider al-

accused of federal bribery charges to
return home until their trial here.
Darrell Lowry, Donald Castle and
George V. Morton are free on bail of
$100,000 apiece, but they are not be

U.S. Judicial District of Dallas,
according to the office of U.S. Mag
istrate John B. Tolle.
ment promising to return for trial,
said a source in Tolle’s office who
asked not to be identified.
Federal prosecutors have con
tended that the three men are not
accused of an extraditable offense
and should not be allowed to leave
the country unless they sign a docu-
A Texas man — Vernon P. Tull of
Brownsville — also has been indicted
in the case, which involves an alleged
plan to pay Castle and Lowry a
$50,000 kickback in the sale of 11
buses.
Castle and Lowry are the presi
dent and vice president of Saskat
chewan Transportation Co.
Morton has been identified as an
agent for Eagle International Inc.,
which was arranging the sale of 11
buses to the Canadian firm.
Tull, who is free on personal re
cognizance, is executive vice presi
dent of Eagle International, which is
a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Dallas-based Greyhound Corp.
The four defendants were
charged under the Federal Foreign
Corrupt Practice Act of 1977 that
makes it a felony to offer or pay a
bribe to any foreign official for the
purpose of influencing any act or
decision of such foreign official in
his official capacity.
Conviction carries a possible pen
alty of imprisonment up to five
years.

■ The Agr
Season, and
AUSTIN (AP) — Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby called
Monday for increasing the state cigarette tax by
14 cents per pack, which would raise an esti
mated $ 150 million a year to help fund court-or
dered school-finance reform.
“That’s quite a few hundred million dollars out
there, just lying on the table, to be raked in,”
Hobby said.
But Gov. Bill Clements repeated his vow to
veto any new taxes in the special session in which
lawmakers are dealing with a Texas Supreme
Court ruling that the current school funding sys
tem is unconstitutional.
“There is not going to be any tax bill as far as
I’m concerned,” Clements said.
The current cigarette tax of 26 cents a pack
yields $374 million annually, said John Bell, di
rector of cash flow forecast for the state Trea
sury, which administers the cigarette tax.
A 14-cent increase would yield about $150 mil-
The state could get federal matching funds if
it dedicated the cigarette tax to Medicare and
other health-care services, freeing up other state
funds for education, Hobby said. The Depart
ment of Human Services has reported a funding
shortfall.
Hobby said a cigarette tax increase would pass
the Legislature “in a minute.”
The money from such an increase would not
be enough to solve the state’s financial problems,
but it would help, he said. Hobby said he called
for the cigarette tax increase at a Texas Cancer
Council luncheon he attended with Clements
and House Speaker Gib Lewis.
Sen. Carl Parker, chairman of the Senate Edu
cation Committee, said Clements might be pri
vately less averse to increasing cigarette or liquor
taxes for school-finance reform, but the gover
nor said that’s not true.
Parker, D-Port Arthur, said, “I’m hearing talk
about all kinds of schemes. I’ve heard that the
governor may not be as opposed to so-called sin
taxes as his public posture indicates.”
Clements responded: “I don’t think Parker
really knows very much about me, one way or the
other. ... I haven’t seen any bill, but I guarantee
you if there are any taxes that are in there, I will
veto it.”
A Senate subcommittee on Monday discussed
school-finance reform proposals, including a bill
co-sponsored by Parker, Hobby and Sen. Kent
Caperton, D-Bryan, that would cost the state an
estimated $783 million the first year
The special session that began Tuesday, two
weeks before the March primary, was called by
Clements for lawmakers to address the Supreme
Court’s school-finance decision and a federal
court ruling that calls for the state to change the
way state judges are elected.

AUSTIN (AP) — The attorney

the way the Texas Department of
Human Services handled the case
of a 2-year-old boy who was fa

agency’s attention three times.
A state Senate committee that

Mike Peary, supervisor of
criminal investigations, said the
staff decided to review Christo

guidelines were followed and ap
propriate actions taken. Depend

office may make recommenda

Examiner claims airline reports
misinterpreted by news media
NEW YORK (AP) — Texas Air
Corp.’s agreement to pay its Eastern
Airlines subsidiary about $280 mil
lion was not an admission that it
bought assets from the airline at un
fairly low prices, Eastern’s court-ap
pointed bankruptcy examiner told
congressional leaders Monday.
Examiner David I. Shapiro said
his report investigating dealings be
tween Texas Air and Eastern, which
concluded Eastern was underpaid by
hundreds of millions of dollars, had
been misinterpreted by the news me
dia as a finding that Texas Air was
liable for the money.
“I did not find that Texas Air had
improperly diverted assets from
Eastern,” Shapiro wrote in a letter to
House Speaker Thomas S. Foley and
House Minority Leader Robert H.
Michel. “Instead, I set forth the
grounds on which such a claim could
be asserted.
“The setdement is not an admis
sion of liability by Texas Air,” the
letter read. “Rather, it is an
agreement between Texas Air and
the examiner as to what is needed to
assure the economic viability of East
ern Airlines.”
Shapiro declined any comment on
the matter Monday. A copy of the
letter, sent Monday, was obtained by
the Associated Press.
