Officials issue
evacuation order
to threatened
valley residents
DAYTON (AP) — Liberty
County officials Tuesday issued a
voluntary evacuation order for
several hundred residents in low-
lying areas along the Trinity
River as rising waters threatened
to flood homes for the third con
secutive year.
Several days of heavy down
pours that dumped as much as
three inches of rain in some areas
near Dayton Monday night alone
combined with increasingly large
discharges from the Lake Liv
ingston Dam to deluge some low-
lying areas.
“We certainly don’t anticipate
anything as devastating as the
Flood of 1990 or even as devastat
ing as the Flood of 1989,” said
Jim Mitchum, director of the Lib
erty County Emergency Manage
ment system.
“This only affects a small por
tion of Liberty County,” Mitchum
said. “The homes in low-lying
areas. I’d say a couple hundred
people.”
Dayton, which is about 60 miles
northeast of Houston, has been
swamped with rising waters in
May, June and July of 1989 and
record-setting floods in May
1990.
Mitchum said county officials
still were rebuilding from the
devastating effects to roads and
homes from 1989 when the Trin
ity again began to surge this
week.
“We have several things work
ing on in the county from the
1989 flood,” Mitchum said. “On
Wednesday, we have a bid open
ing to repair a home that was
damaged in 1989. It takes several
years for the residents to get over
it.”

Attorneys finish jury selection
SAN ANGELO (AP) — A jury has
been selected to hear the murder
trial of the 76-year-old heir to a
ranching empire accused of killing
his nephew on a remote Hill Coun
try road 15 months ago.
Doyle Parker, a Kimble County
rancher, is charged in the slaying of
Bruce Parker, 41, over an alleged
land-use dispute. Bruce Parker was
the second of three Parker men
killed by gunfire in 1989. All were
members of a pioneer ranching fam
ily that traces its ancestry back to the
Alamo.
Conviction carries a maximum
penalty of life in prison.
A six-man, six-woman jury was
chosen Monday in state district
court. Testimony was scheduled to
begin Wednesday.
The case was transferred to Tom
Green County from Kimble County
by now-retired 198th District Judge
V. Murray Jordan of Brady. Senior
District Judge Curt Steib of San An
gelo will hear the case.
Jordan ruled in April that exten
sive news coverage made seating an
unbiased jury in Junction impossi
ble.
The murder case against the elder
Parker has been a mix of mystery
and intrigue from the outset, largely
because of a judicial gag order th«
silenced principals in the case.
On June 10, 1989, four montl
before the slaying, Bruce’s cousi
Jesse “Jett” Parker was shot to deatl
Investigators said robbery was t!
motive and charged a fugitive Mex
can alien with murder.
On Dec. 3, 1989, five weeks afte
Bruce’s death, his uncle Raymon
Parker died of a gunshot wound t
the head. Raymond, 66, Doyle
brother, apparently took his ow
life. But investigators said the su
cide was linked emotionally t
Bruce’s death and the murdt
charges filed against Doyle.
Ex-official’s trial ends in bargain
DALLAS (AP) — Former Texas Insurance
Commissioner Joseph D. Hawkins has reached a
settlement in an $ 11 million civil lawsuit in which
state officials accused him of conspiring to loot
an insurance company. The Dallas Morning
News reported.
Hawkins’ attorney, Mark A. Weitz, and Texas
insurance regulators involved in the federal law
suit, confirmed the settlement but refused to re
veal details.
Hawkins, of Dallas, was accused of racketeer
ing and theft in connection with the 1986 col
lapse of Continental Bankers Life Insurance
Company of the South.
Hawkins, who resigned as state insurance com
missioner in 1977, headed a group that bought
the company in 1980 and sold it two years later.
But state investigators said that during his
ownership and for years afterward, Hawkins was
part of a conspiracy to defraud Continental
Bankers policyholders and, indirectly, state tax
payers.
State officials and Hawkins asked U.S. District
Judge James Nowlin to order both parties to
keep terms of the settlement confidential, Weitz
said. The settlement also was withheld from pub
lic court records.
The demise of Dallas-based Continental Bank
ers, chartered in Tennessee, has cost taxpayers in
Texas and other states at least $ 17 million.
In the civil lawsuit, filed by Texas and Tennes
see insurance regulators in 1988, Hawkins was
accused along with eight others of racketeering,
conspiracy and fraud in the alleged looting of
Continental Bankers.
Two other defendants, Dallas lawyers Stanley
S. Crooks and Gary R. Terbert, also have
reached settlements which are sealed by court or
der, said Lee Jones, a spokesman for the insur
ance board.
State officials said the remaining defendants
include former Dallas insurance executive Billy
G. Armstrong, Joseph Stephen Meziere, Robert
F. Wolf, Michael E. Holloway, Bette Newman
and Charlsie L. Pritchard.
Armstrong acquired all Continental Bankers
stock in 1982 from a group headed by Hawkins.
Newman was Armstrong’s secretary.
Court records show Continental Bankers’ offi
cers included Holloway, Wolf and Meziere.
Pritchard was sued as the executrix of the es
tate of her deceased husband, William P. Prit
chard, who was president of the company when
he died in December 1985j.i<
All six of the remaining defendants are fight
ing the lawsuit.
Hawkins, who resigned as insurance commis
sioner in 1977 while under a perjury indictment,
has a history of problems in the insurance indus
try.
Since Continental Bankers’ failure, three other
insurance companies formerly associated with
Hawkins have collapsed at an estimated cost to
Texas taxpayers of $ 10 million.
Hawkins was indicted in 1977 on felony
charges of lying to conceal his acceptance of two
airplane trips from an insurance company.
The perjury charges later were dropped in re
turn for his plea of no contest to the misdemea
nor offense of accepting a free airplane ride
from a company under his regulation.
He was fined $2,000 and sentenced to a year’s
probation.

Pilots accept
cost-control plans
of Continental
HOUSTON (AP) — About 3,900
Continental Airlines pilots have
agreed to a temporary pay freeze
and other cost-saving measures, the
company said Tuesday as it tries to
control costs in reorganizing under
federal bankruptcy laws.
The Pilot Operations Group also
agreed to defer “gainsharing” pay
ments based on fuel savings, a slight
reduction in flying hours and a 30
percent cut in the company’s cost for
crew meals, Continental said.
Continental Airlines Holdings
Inc., the Houston-based airline’s
parent, filed for bankruptcy protec
tion in early December, saying it was
overwhelmed by its debts and surg
ing fuel prices. It is the carrier’s sec
ond filing in seven years.
“This accord will make a tremen
dous positive difference for our
company,” said Hollis Harris, Conti
nental’s chairman and chief exec
utive officer.
“While we maintain a pledge to
serve our customers with business as
usual, we simply must take the posi
tion of not increasing costs,” he
said.“Through this agreement our
pilots have shown that they recog
nize this.,”
“We felt that this was an opportu
nity for us to get behind him (Har
ris) because we do have the goal of
getting the company through the
fuel crisis and Chapter II,” Bob
Rinehart, chairman of the Pilot Op
erations Group, said in a message to
the pilots.
Continental also said it altered its
benefit programs to include a retro
active extension of the retirement
program’s service credit period, giv
ing long-time employees better re
tirement benefits.
