Spring man's drownin
reclassified as homicid
WOODLANDS, Texas (AP) —
The mysterious 1993 death of a
Spring man, previously ruled an ac
cidental drowning despite two gun
shot wounds to the victim’s head,
has been reclassified as a homicide.
Montgomery County Justice of
the Peace Edie Connelly reversed her
1993 ruling on Paul Jerome
Beauchamp’s death Tuesday after
three of four pathologists who re-ex
amined his exhumed body agreed he
died of die gunshot wounds.
Beauchamp’s family had reject
ed the theory that Beauchamp, who
earlier had been drinking heavily at
a Christmas party, got his pickup
stuck on a remote road about 600
yards from a private pond, became
disoriented, stumbled into the wa
ter and drowned.
Dr. Joye M. Carter, Harris Coun
ty medical examiner, headed the
team of pathologists who re-exam
ined the body on Nov. 18.
The pathology team’s lone dis
senter from the homicide finding
was Dr. Vladimir M. Parungao.
Parungao is the Harris County
pathologist who concluded in the
original autopsy that two shots were
fired into Beauchamp’s head on
Dec. 26, 1993, after he drowned.
A Spring auto mechanic who
lives near the pond always con
tended that he fired two shots from
a .22-caliber rifle into Beauchamp’s
head in the belief that he was shoot
ing at a turtle.
The mechanic has not been
charged with a crime.
Montgomery Sheriff Guy
Williams said Wednesday he dis
agrees with the new findings, but
his department will meet with the
district attorney’s office and

to pursue charges

USDA reveals final
changes to program
WASHINGTON (AP) —Texas agri
culture experts and lawmakers greet
ed with caution Wednesday the un
veiling of a retooled Conservation
Reserve Program that has pumped
more than $1.8 billion into the state’s
rural economy over a decade.
Most adopted a wait-and-see at
titude over the raft of intricate
changes to the program, which has
paid Texas farmers and ranchers to
idle 4.1 million acres of cropland,
mainly in the Texas Panhandle and
South Plains.
“We certainly do hope that Texas
doesn't stand to lose major acreage
to other parts of the country,” said
Steve Pringle, legislative director of
the Texas Farm Bureau.
The 11-year-old program pays
farmers not to plant crops in a bid to
protect topsoil from erosion, reduce
water runoff and shield wildlife.
Texas has more enrolled acres
than any other state. Nationally,
nearly 33 million acres are idled
through 10-year contracts. Con
tracts covering 22 million acres are
due to expire this fall.
Up to 240 million acres — two
thirds of the nation’s farmland —
will be eligible for consideration.
But no more than 15 percent of that
total, amounting to a maximum
36.4 million acres, can be enrolled.
“Under the new CRR we will en
roll only the most environmentally
sensitive land,” said Agriculture
Secretary Dan Glickman.
Although erosion remains promi
nent in determining which land
qualifies, considerations for wildlife
habitat and water quality also have
emerged as major factors to be eval
uated by USDA in issuing cor
