bruises, police Sgt. Russell
Mueller said, raising the possi
bility of abuse.
Three of the families had been
investigated previously by the
state's child-welfare agency, the
Department of Children and
Family Services, spokesman
Scott Hamilton said. Investiga
tors looked into drug problems,
inadequate supervision of the
children and, in one family's
case, possible child abuse.
Mayor Richard M. Daley
questioned why no one else re
ported conditions in the apart
ment.
"You wonder first of all about
their parents," Daley said. "But
how about their neighbors, how
about family members? Where
are they? ... Why didn't they
come forward a week ago or two
weeks ago?"
A child-abuse expert said
poverty, ignorance, alcohol and
illegal drugs all play some part
in most such cases.
"There are chronic problems
among people who grow up in
violent, poor, disintegrating
communities," said Anne H.
Cohn Donnelly, executive direc
tor of the Chicago-based Nation
al Committee for Prevention of
Child Abuse.
"Young parents who grew up
in these situations never really
learned that there is an alterna
tive way to behave."
As many as five families and
their children lived in the first-
floor apartment where the
youngsters were found, neigh
bors said, and drug dealers were
a common sight in the area.

The Battalion obtained several
state vouchers from Ruffino
Catering and bills to J.J's that
have corresponding dates and
amounts of purchase.
Owner JJ. Ruffino declined to
comment about his catering busi
ness.
Bill Turner, Brazos County
district attorney, said Monday
the Texas Rangers are relinquish
ing information to his office con
cerning their investigation.
"It is my job to review that in
formation and determine if crim
inal conduct has occurred,"
Turner said.
He said the Rangers had
turned over a "great deal" of in
formation to his office.
"I've discussed the investiga
tion with the Rangers on several
occasions," Turner said.
"They've talked to a lot of
people and obtained a lot of
records so far, and will do a lot
more before it's over."
Turner said the task before
him now is to weed out what
might be considered administra
tive misconduct in order to de
termine if criminal conduct has
occurred.
He said he met with Chancel
lor Bill Mobley last week at Mob
ley's request to discuss the gen
eral nature of the investigation.
"It was about nothing specif
ic," he said. "No names or specif
ic people were discussed."
In September, the Rangers be
gan investigating allegations
raised in an anonymous letter
that accused Ross Margraves,
chairman of the Board of Re
gents, of personally benefiting
from a contract signed with
Barnes and Noble Bookstores,
the owners of A&M's bookstore.
Margraves admitted to taking
a 1990 trip to New York along
with Robert Smith, vice presi
dent of finance and administra
tion, to discuss the contract.
Barnes and Noble paid for
Smith and Margraves's expenses
which, under current law, would
be considered illegal.
However, at the time, the trip
was legal under Texas law. Mar-
MafW
graves has
consistently
denied any
wrongdoing.
In addition.
Gov. Ann
Richards for

in December to
the Texas
Rangers that
was written by
