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.
