BROWNSVILLE, Texas (AP) —
Jurors in the trial of three men
who allegedly plotted to use bio
logical weapons against govern
ment officials saw videotape Tues
day of two of the accused men
instructing a government infor
mant where threatening e-mail
should be sent.
Jack Abbott Grebe Jr., Johnie
Wise and Oliver Dean Emigh are
charged with conspiring in a
bizarre plot to use a weapon of
mass destruction. The men al
legedly plotted to use modified
Bic lighters designed to propel
cactus thorns coated with biolog
ical toxins such as anthrax.
Targets allegedly included Pres
ident Clinton and his family, U.S.
Attorney General Janet Reno and
other federal, state and local offi
cials and their families. The men
are accused of sending threatening
e-mails to the targets.
On the videotape made at the in
formant’s home office. Wise and
Grebe are shown calling out gov
ernment agency names off a list to
the informant, John Cain. Cain is
seen typing in the addresses, in
serting names of officials and send
ing the e-mail messages.
In a tape-recorded conversation
also played for jurors Tuesday, Cain
and Wise on June 12 discussed a
“Declaration of War” message.
Cain tells Wise that the “Declara
tion of War” e-mail had just been
sent to government officials.
SEGUIN, Texas (AP) — As flood-
waters roared down the Guadalupe
River into Victoria on Tuesday, river
residents upstream in New Braunfels
and Seguin cleaned up what was left
of their homes.
Many compared the flood to the
one that struck Seguin and New
Braunfels in 1972, when 18 people
were killed in the area and residents
suffered $17.5 million in damage.
Water began rising Saturday as
storms started to dump up to 20
inches of rain on parts of San Anto
nio and surrounding areas. Now 60
counties are affected by flooding and
at least 18 people have died .
The damage is reminiscent of the
1972 flood, said Seguin police Lt.
Reno Reiley, who had joined the force
a few months before that tragedy.
“It was bad then,” Reiley said.
“This one is worse — consider
ably worse.”
“It was bad then
(during 1972 floods).
This one is worse —
considerably worse.’
— Lt. Reno Reiley
Seguin police officer
The Guadalupe River at Seguin
rose 32.5 feet above normal in
1972. Last weekend it rose to a
record 36.5 feet above normal.
As water rushed down the
Guadalupe through a series of lakes
between New Braunfels and Seguin,
which are about 15 miles apart,
boats were washed along, too.
Some houses along the river were
washed off their foundations. Some
lost walls or roofs. Other;

Texas HMO faces first malpractices
DALLAS (AP) — The family of
a man who committed suicide by
drinking antifreeze has filed what
appears to be the first malpractice
lawsuit against an HMO in Texas,
claiming that NYLCare wrongly
ordered him released from a psy
chiatric ward.
Joseph W. Plocica, 68, drank
the antifreeze the night he was re
leased from All Saints Hospital in
Fort Worth, according to a suit
filed Monday in Tarrant County.
He died nine days later, on July
17, 1998.
The suit alleges that a doctor
working for NYLCare, Plocica’s
health maintenance organiza
tion, persuaded the hospital to
discharge him “even though he
was not yet medically stable,
was still severely depressed and
could not make a decisis
on living.”
Fort Worth attorney
Parker Young said Plocicf
chiatrist wanted him to
the hospital up to twi
weeks, but that a doctor!
Care's contractor, Merit
ioral Care Corp., indi
HMO would not pay
tional hospitalization.
