The College Station Police De
partment (CSPD) is investigating
an alleged theft of $12,000 worth
of diamonds from a College Sta
tion jewelef.
Pioneer Diamond Corp. of
Houston notified the CSPD about
the missing diamonds, saying that
it was unable to get in touch with
the owner of the jewelry store, lo
cated at 1405 Harvey Road, said
Sgt. Dan Jones, public relations of
ficer for CSPD.
The diamonds were sent to
the local jeweler on consignment
to be sold in the College Station
area. The profits were to be
shared between the two busi
nesses, Jones said.
CSPD officials said that the
store has been closed and that
the investigation is pending.

KTFB is counting on the support of
former students who have volunteered
to step up and till the roles of the hand
and yell leaders at the bonfire. The
group has lawyers and engineers to
oversee the planning and construction
of the project. Several of these profes
sionals are former students who sought
out KTFB, hut the organization went
out of its way to hire an engineer from
the University of Texas-Austin to get
“an unbiased third opinion.”

Former Waco prosecuter targeted by counsel
HOUSTON (AP) — The former prosecutor who
warned Attorney General Janet Reno of a possible cov
er-up within her own department has been told he is
being targeted for prosecution by Waco Special Coun
sel John C. Danforth.
Former assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Johnston has
been a target of Danforth's office since he spent three
days under interrogation last month in St. Louis, two
government sources told the Associated Press on the
condition of anonymity.
Johnston’s lawyer, Michael Kennedy, said his client
has been told he could be indicted on charge'
ing obstruction of justice and perjury.
“This law office and Mr. Johnston believi
was unfairly targeted for his frequent criticisi
U.S. government and for blowing the whistl
government's efforts to mislead the public al
