-i Page 6 The Battalion Tuesday, April 13,1993 Railey takes stand, denies attack THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN ANTONIO — Former minister Walker Railey defiantly denied trying to kill his wife in 1987 and said Monday he concocted a phony alibi only to conceal an illicit love affair. "I betrayed my marriage and my wife/' the once-powerful Dallas preacher told the jury in his attempted murder trial. "1 did not strangle Peggy/' Railey, 45, explaining away the inconsistencies in a story he told police six years ago, said: 'T was lying to my wife and creating an alibi to go see Lucy Papillon." Railey said it was a second, previously unknown visit to Papillon's home that night that triggered the suspicious, deceptive phone calls that brought about his downfall. But he said the "lights were out" and he chose not to awaken her. He said he was "infatuated" with Papillon, now 51, the daughter of a Methodist bishop and a member of Railey's congregation at First United Methodist Church in Dallas. Railey took the stand Monday and provided the first sworn account of his activities the night his wife Peggy was choked and left for dead on April 21,1987. She suffered irreversible brain damage. Under questioning by lead defense lawyer Doug Mulder, Railey told how he schemed to deceive his wife that night only to return home and find her near death on the garage floor. He broke down repeatedly as he recounted the grim discovery and his frantic attempts to check on his two young children, who were unharmed. Asked why he lied to police, Railey said: "1 did not want my relationship with Lucy known. I intentionally deleted anything about meeting or talking with Lucy Papillon ... I knew she had nothing to do with this." And he insisted his suicide attempt in May 1987 was not an act of guilt over the attack on his wife but because of an "overwhelming sense of shame" for leaving his family alone that night.

Koresh awaits natural disaster to end standoff 'God's lamb' sends second letter THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WACO — Self-proclaimed messiah David Koresh has sent federal agents another letter of doom but appears to be waiting for a natural disaster before ending an armed standoff, the FBI said Monday. The second threatening message was received Saturday afternoon and, like the first letter, referred to biblical passages and was signed "Yahweh Koresh," which Koresh says is the name of God, said FBI agent Bob Ricks. "The second letter was again written as if God is speaking through Koresh with continued threats that if we do not listen to Koresh, we will be devoured by fire or destroyed by other means," Ricks said. The letter warned authorities not to hurt Koresh, and refers to him as "God's lamb," Ricks said. Koresh and 95 of his Branch Davidian followers have been barricaded in their rural home outside Waco since a failed Feb. 28 raid on the compound by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Four agents died and 16 were wounded. Koresh says six cultists died. Ricks had said the first threatening letter could be the sign Koresh was waiting on before ending the stalemate. But top Koresh deputy Steven Schneider now has told federal negotiators Koresh needs another type of divine message, such as a natural disaster like fire or an earthquake. Ricks again said it appears cult leaders are placing less emphasis on Tuesday's end of Passover as a time for ending the siege. Ricks also responded to a report by The Dallas Morning News that the FBI has been stymied by Washington officials from carrying out a raid to end the standoff. "The FBI has been trying to come up with a tactical plan that would pass for the last two weeks," an unidentified law officer told the newspaper. "They haven't come up with anything they can sell yet." Ricks disputed that. "So far we have not had any proposals submitted by us vetoed from Washington, D.C., and we've been satisfied with the support that we have received from our counterparts in Washington, D.C.," he said. Ricks said he did not know if there were plans for Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen to OK any "major tactical" operations by federal agents, but said he assumes Bentsen would be involved if that action is taken. Yeltsin campaigns for referendum THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MOSCOW — Hitting the campaign trail two weeks before the referendum on his leadership. President Boris Yeltsin urged his countrymen on Monday to support him and endorse the "new Russia" and its post-Communist reforms. Yeltsin's speech to Moscow students was part of a campaign swing this week to rally popular support before the referendum. The April 25 vote is aimed at resolving the power struggle between the president and the hard-line Congress. "We must defend the course for reforms together," Yeltsin told about 1,500 people at the Moscow Aviation Institute. "I hope you have made your choice to support a new Russia." "In order to act more decisively, I must have support of the electorate in this critical moment. All together, we must make this decisive choice," Yeltsin, said describing the referendum as his "last reserve." On Tuesday, Yeltsin plans to take his campaign to the Kuznetsk Basin, Russia's largest coal deposit and the center of strikes that shook the Soviet Union in 1989 and 1991. The referendum, approved last month by the Congress of People's Deputies, will ask Russians whether they have confidence in Yeltsin and if they support his painful economic reforms. It also asks if they favor early presidential and parliamentary elections. The Communist-dominated Congress, elected before the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, opposes Yeltsin's free-market drive and has been steadily eroding his powers. Yeltsin said the real choice faced by Russians was not "between the Congress and the president" but whether to "surrender to those who want to roll back, who are ready to put an end to reforms and, therefore, to Russia Yeltsin acknowledged what he called "contradictory consequences" and mistakes in his reforms, launched in January 1992. But he said the main mistake was in slowing down the pace of economic changes. Yeltsin said the reforms have prevented an agricultural collapse, brought consumer goods to once-barren shelves and created hundreds of thousands of private farms and more than 60,000 private enterprises. Guatemalan jail revolt ends; 4 dead PAVONCITO, Guatemala (AP) — Scores of prison inmates ended a 30-hour uprising late Monday after authorities promised to investigate the death of a prisoner and not to make any reprisals against the rebels. Four people died and more than 20 injured in the insurrec tion, in wnich the warden was held hostage, said Ana Maria Orozco, director of Guatemala's correctional institutions. It was not immediately known if the dead were inmates, guards or civilians. Warden Oscar Mejia Barrios was freed unharmed and escort ed out of the compound by heavily armed guards late in the afternoon. Reporters were kept at a distance and not allowed to talk to him. Rebellious inmates had threatened to kill Mejia Barrios, but several of them later told re porters they hoped he would stay on as director. Test to determine reason for death SAN ANTONIO (AP) - A toxicology test will determine whether a man who died in po lice custody had been drunk or sniffing a disinfectant spray be fore his arrest, authorities say. Police say Jaime Javier Gon zalez, 31, was intoxicated when he was handcuffed following a struggle, A preliminary autopsy indi cated Gonzalez died from a heart condition, but a toxicology test still must be conducted, said Bexar County medical examiner Vincent DiMaio. Test results may not be known for four to six weeks, of ficials said. Officers found a can of pot- pourri-scented disinfectant aerosol after Gonzalez struggled with officers early Sunday. A la bel on the can warns that inhala tion can lead circulatory shock and respiratory problems. Sgt. David Ramos, the de partment's public information officer, said a white towel that smelled of the disinfectant also was found at the scene. "It appeared to the officers that (the) subject may have been News Briefs inhaling the disinfectant and this caused the intoxication," Ramos said. DiMaio's autopsy indicated that the death was not related to physical trauma. Officials said Gonzalez suffered only superfi cial scrapes and bruises during the struggle. Hate crime: lawyers look to avoid retrial FORT WORTH (AP) - An avowed white supremacist's at torneys Monday made more at tempts to prevent their teen-age client from facing a second trial on state charges for a black man's slaying. Attorneys Ward Casey and Earl "Ernie’' Bates contended in papers filed before state District Judge Everett Young that Christopher William Brosky was a juvenile at the time of the dri- ve-by shotgun slaying. Casey and Bates argued that Brosky, 18, must be recertified as an adult to stand trial on new charges. The teen's probationary term for the Arlington murder of Donald Thomas prompted protests and a federal inquiry. A grand jury in Fort Worth indicted Brosky two weeks ago on charges of engaging in orga nized criminal activity and con spiracy to commit murder. A juvenile court judge had ruled about two months after Thomas' June 1991 slaying that Brosky could be prosecuted as an adult. Bates and Casey, in their lat est motion, contend that Young has no jurisdiction over the new indictment because that proce dure was not repeated. Drive-bys upset Washingtonians WASHINGTON (AP) - At a time when the country associ ates Washington with cherry blossoms and spring, the people of the nation's capital are worry ing about coldblooded drive-by murders. The blossoms are out, but people in one culturally diverse and proud area of the city hesi tate to leave their homes. In sev en weeks, there have been 10 at tacks, leaving two people dead and four wounded. "1 am very cautious about not being on the streets either early in the morning or about sun down," Carmen Ramirez said Monday as she waited with her two small children for a bus a few blocks from where the shootings have occurred. All 10 of the drive-by attacks have occurred at night within a 10-block area of Mount Pleasant and Columbia Heights, neigh borhoods of town houses and small shops and ethnic restau rants —• and an abundance of back alleys of the type where Elizabeth Hutson was killed while walking her dog on March 23. In each case a driver slowed and pointed his shotgun out a window before firing. There is no indication that the gunman knew any of his targets. On April 6, a 32-year-old woman said a man in a small car cut her off as she crossed a street. After asking, "How ya doing?" she said, the driver hoisted a shotgun out of his window and said "April Fools" and shot her in the arm. The latest victim was an unidentified man shot to death Friday night about 30 minutes after police ended their beefed- up patrols for the evening. The city has mobilized against the attacks two miles from the White House. A joint city-federal task force has keen assigned to the case, a $10,000 reward has been posted for the suspect's capture, and police have been walking the streets distributing flyers bearing an artist's sketch of the shooter. Stealth jet crash remains secretive EL PASO, Texas (AP) — The Air Force says it will not reveal changes made in its F-117 Stealth fighter maintenance pro gram following the crash of one of the radar-evading jets. The Air Force has denied re quests made by the El Paso Times under the federal Free dom of Information Act seeking a safety report that listed the cause of the Aug. 4 crash at Hol loman Air Force Base and rec ommended changes in the main tenance routine. The service said disclosing the changes could harm flight safety and could have a chilling effect on future accident investi gations that promise witnesses confidentiality.
