An Adams representative said Haynes, who has successfully de fended many well-known clients, is a choice because of the poli ticized nature of savings and loan fraud cases, it was reported Tues day. Adams was indicted Aug. 7 on federal charges that accuse him of concealing Lamar’s financial condi tion from regulators through a se ries of sham loan transactions. Adams has claimed that he and other former thrift executives are being made into scapegoats in the nation’s massive savings and loan bailout. The federal charges against Ad ams allege that he and five others misapplied more than $121 million of Lamar’s funds, contributing to the thrift’s collapse. If convicted, Adams could receive up to 70 years in prison and $3.5 million in fines. Adams’ arraignment was origi nally set for Monday, but was post poned because the Justice Depart ment wants access to a psychologist’s evaluation of Adams. Convictions handed down in drug case EL PASO (AP) — Five people ac cused of being part of a West Texas drug smuggling ring were convicted on several federal counts of conspir acy and possession of drugs charges. The five were part of an El Paso- based network accused of running millions of dollars worth of Mexican marijuana into Canada. Three members of the same fam ily, Sydney Kirkland Dudley Sr. of Dona Ana County, N.M., Sydney Kirkland Dudley Jr. of El Paso and Kenneth Wayne Dudley of Lufkin, were all convicted on various federal drug charges Saturday after a three week trial. The federal jury deliberated about three hours before returning a verdict. “The jury did a very good job,” said Guy Till, chief prosecutor in the trial. “They obviously considered the evidence very carefully, and I think it shows this system works.” Two other defendants, John R. Quitoni and John Bonner of Florida were convicted of three major con spiracy charges. According to evi dence, the two planned to ship tons of marijuana regularly from the United States to a Canadian crime syndicate. Clarence Moyers, one of the de fense attorneys, said he planned to appeal. Donald Dudley was arrested with Kenneth Dudley in Spokane, Wash, on Jan. 26 with 252 pounds of mari juana, culminating the yearlong in vestigation involving the Royal Ca nadian Mounted Police and the Organized Crime Drug Enforce ment Task Force in El Paso. Donald Dudley subsequently jumped bail and remains a fugitive. Sydney Dudley Sr. and Bonner face minimum 20-year sentences. The five are expected to be sen tenced next month. Fuel suppliers accused of fraud State contends over $1.8 million lost in taxes AUSTIN (AP) — A Travis County grand jury in dicted three people who are accused of defrauding Texas of more than $1.8 million in motor fuels taxes, the district attorney and state comptroller’s office said Monday. It was the latest announcement by the offices in their ongoing investigation of alleged fuels tax fraud in Texas. Travis County District Attorney Ronald Earle said the indictments were handed down last week but had been sealed. Patricia Morris of Houston, Scott Davis of Terlingua and Joseph Henry of San Dimas, Calif., were accused of engaging in organized criminal activity and of Motor Fuels Tax Code violations. Morris and Davis also were indicted on counts of ag gravated perjury involving grand jury testimony. “We have been assured by their lawyers that they are in'the process of surrendering, but they have not done scat this time,” Earle said. Rip Collins, an Austin lawyer representing Morris and Henry, confirmed that arrangements were being made for them to turn themselves in. An attorney for Davis didn’t immediately return a telephone call from the Associated Press. “The allegations are ludicrous,” Collins said. “I haven’t seen any evidence so far it actually happened.” He said the 15-cent-a-gallon state tax may not have been paid on some fuel, but that there was no criminal conspiracy involving his clients. Earle said the three are accused of running a bogus fuel supply corporation and not paying taxes to the state on motor fuel from their supplier. The fuel — pri marily diesel — was sold around the state, according to the district attorney’s office. Henry, Davis and Morris were charged in one indict ment with two counts of engaging in organized criminal activity, and in a second indictment with eight counts of failure to remit fuel taxes during 1987 and 1988. Also, Henry and Davis were charged in one indict ment with nine counts of filing false fuels tax returns. In separate indictments, Morris was charged with nine counts of aggravated perjury, and Davis with three counts of aggravated perjury. Bond was set at $100,000 for each indictment per de fendant. If convicted of all the counts, according to prosecu tors, the maximum punishment theoretically could be 269 years and a $95,000 fine for Henry; 269 years and $140,000 fine for Morris; and 299 years and a $125,000 fine for Davis. But assistant district attorneys Mike Lynch and Pat ricia Robertson said it would be unlikely in this type of case for sentences and fines to be stacked.
