Police seek answers in hanging death of teem
ABILENE, Texas (AP) —Abilene police are investigating
the death of a 15-year-old girl who apparently hanged her
self in the Taylor County Juvenile Detention Center Monday.
The teen was taken to Abilene Regional Medical Cen
ter and pronounced dead at 1:27 p.m.
Justice of the Peace Rex Andrew ordered an autopsy
by the Tarrant County medical examiners office.

Six additional Secret Service uniformed officers have been subpoe
naed to testify this week, Mike Leibig, head of an association of Secret
Service officers, said Monday night.
Leibig said 11 Secret Service personnel have given grand jury testi
mony in the Lewinsky probe.
The Lewinsky-prosecutor talks came on a day that Starr won a ma
jority victory from a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia.
In a 2-1 decision, the panel rejected Clinton's claim of attorney-client
confidentiality and ordered presidential adviser Bruce Lindsey to an
swer questions before a grand jury.
The panel majority said none of Lindsey's conversations as a
White House adviser were protected from grand jury testimony.
But the judges said Lindsey — as a deputy counsel — dispensed
legal advice in "at least one" conversation, thus permitting a rul
ing on whether government lawyers could withhold information
in a criminal investigation.
The answer was no, the majority said.
"With respect to investigations of federal criminal offenses, and es
pecially offenses committed by those in government, government at
torneys stand in a far different position from members of the private
bar," U.S. Circuit Judges Judith Rogers and A. Raymond Randolph said.
Deputy Whitewater prosecutor Robert Bittman and Starr's ethics
counselor, Sam Dash, participated in the questioning, along with a fe
male colleague, the sources said.
"It wasn't a cross-examination; they weren't trying to browbeat her;
they were just trying to get some answers," said one source. Present for
Ms. Lewinsky were her lawyers, Stein and Cacheris.
It was not clear how Monday's talks would affect Clinton's legal
strategy. A senior Clinton adviser, speaking on condition of anonymi
ty, said the president was prepared to fight the subpoena he received
from Starr for grand jury testimony — and thus spark a constitutional
battle — if the testimony was not delivered on his own terms.

patients probably didn't notice the
water problem and no services had to
be diverted elsewhere.
"We did delay surgeries this morn

Niaz Dorry, a Greenpeace fisheries
and oceans campaigner from
Gloucester, Mass., said Kemp told the
group that a forum could be held on
campus in the future if the proper
procedures are followed.
The forum was to include people
interested in all phases of fisheries in
the Gulf of Mexico and around the
world, Dorry said.
Greenpeace is in the midst of a na
tionwide campaign to tell people
about its allegations that huge num
bers of fish are needlessly killed and
discarded because of practices on
large commercial fishing vessels.
HARLINGEN, Texas (AP) —
j Three weeks after they answered a
call for help from fellow law en
forcement officers and were fatal
ly ambushed by a gunman, two
U.S. Border Patrol agents are being
honored with citations from the
Military Order of the Purple Heart.
A sheriff’s deputy wounded
in the same incident is being
similarly honored.
Susan Lynn Rodriguez’
posthumous award was present
ed to her husband, Gilbert Ro
driguez, during a ceremony
Monday at the Harlingen Border
Patrol station. Their 2-year-old
daughter also attended.
“I’m veiy proud of my wife,” Ro
driguez said. “I’d like to thank the
Border Patrol and all the other law
enforcement agencies that have
given us constant support.”
Rodriguez, 28, became the first
woman Border Patrol agent killed
in the line of duty when she was
shot in the July 7 incident.
“I’m still sad about Susan,” Her
man Wise, chapter commander of
the region’s Military Order of the
Purple Heart, said. “1 feel sad and
honored because she was the first
who lost her life doing her job in
this great country of ours.”
The family of Border Patrol
agent Ricardo Salinas also will re
ceive a citation, Wise said.
Cameron County sheriff’s
deputy Raul Rodriguez also will re
ceive a citation. He who was
wounded in the gunfight and is
now recuperating at home.
Rodriguez and Salinas, 24, were
killed while assisting the Cameron
County Sheriff’s Department in
pursuit of 25-year-old Ernest
Moore, who had killed two Rio
Hondo women earlier in the day.
Law officers had converged at the
home of Moore’s parents when
they were ambushed by Moore,
who later died of wounds he re
ceived in the gunbattle.
“We all miss these agents and
will not ever forget them and their
dedication to duty, even in the face
of imminent danger,” Harlingen’s
