State officials
seek to recover
desk first used
by Sul Ross
The Associated Press
AUSTIN — The most sought-
after item on a list of original
State Capitol furniture that offi
cials would like to recover is a
desk that was a silent participant
in some of Texas' most colorful
history.
At least 10 governors used the
massive, ornate mahogany desk
from 1889 until the 1920s, when it
officially was lost.
Six decades later, state officials
are now trying to track it down —
as part of the ongoing restoration
of the Capitol.
The desk served Texas' first
woman governor. Another gover
nor probably pondered his im
peachment there.
Texas women likely were
granted the right to vote there.
Controversial pardons for thou
sands of convicts and the births of
Texas Tech University and the
Texas Railroad Commission prob
ably occurred there.
"That's probably one of the
most important desks ... and we
don't know what happened to
it," Bonnie Campbell, the Capi
tol curator, told the Austin
American-Statesman. "If we
could find this desk, I would be
a very happy curator."
It's officially called a curtain
desk — a roll-top to most. The
desk had four drawers with brass
handles on each side.
With a decorative rail on top,
the desk had frilly carvings on the
drawer fronts and two clusters of
pigeon holes. Measuring 50 inch
es high by 64 inches wide by 41
inches deep, it was so finely de
tailed that Marshall Field, the
wealthy Chicago department
store magnate, owned one like it.
The desk, like most of the 2,500
other pieces of furniture bought for
the 1888 statehouse, was made by
A.H. Andrews & Co. of Chicago, a
big office supplier of the day.
Lawrence "Sul" Ross, the leg
endary Indian fighter and Confed
erate soldier who was governor
when the Capitol furniture arrived
in early 1889, first used the desk.
Officials said a total of $150,000
was spent on furniture, $50,000 of
it for wooden items.

Texas NAACP president urges
investigation of random killing
The Associated Press
BEAUMONT — The Texas NAACP president said Sunday he wants
the FBI to investigate the death of a black man gunned down in an appar
ent random attack after he left a nearby town because of racist threats.
William Simpson, 37, was fatally shot the night of Sept. 1 in Beau
mont just hours after he moved from Vidor, which now has no black
residents. A teen-ager was arrested the next day, but he has not yet
been charged in Simpson's death.
Beaumont police have said it appears that Simpson was killed by
suspected gang members who demanded money from him.
But Gary Bledsoe, president of the state chapter of the National As
sociation for the Advancement of Colored People, said he will ask the
FBI to make sure that Simpson's slaying was not racially motivated.
"The jury is still out. There are still a lot of questions regarding the
shooting," Bledsoe said. "There's no question there needs to be a feder
al investigation."
Bledsoe, in Beaumont on Sunday to appear on Montel Williams' syn
dicated television talk show, said he also plans to seek the help of U.S.
Attorney General Janet Reno.
The 7-foot, 300-pound Simpson was the last black man to leave a
housing project in Vidor, a town of about 11,000 that has long been as
sociated with the Ku Klux Klan.
Simpson had said he was forced to leave because of the racial taunts,
obscene gestures and threats of lynching.
"There are good people here, don't get me wrong," he said. "But it's
overshadowed by the negativity, the hostility, the bigotry of this town."
Several other black people had moved into the Vidor housing project
earlier this year, but they left before Simpson.
