BAYTOWN, Texas — The remains of three
illegal immigrants were found Tuesday in a railroad
car after officials were alerted that two of their com
panions escaped the train.
“The information that (the survivors) relayed to
the authorities is the other people that were inside
the hopper were incapacitated or were too weak to
get out,” Harris County Sheriffs Department
spokesman Capt. Robert Van Pelt said after the
bodies of three men, believed to be Hispanic, were
removed from the railcar. “Due to the state of the
decomposition, I am unable to tell the race.”
The two who managed to
flee the Union Pacific train in
La Coste, near San Antonio,
contacted a priest in Austin
who informed the Mexican
consulate about the three
immigrants left behind.
“They were able to
breathe while the train was
moving but after some hours,
the train stopped and the
ventilation stopped also,”
said Angeles Gomez,
spokeswoman for the
Mexican consulate in Austin.
“When the train stopped,
... they were trying to open
the ceiling and then they
made a rope from clothing at
some point.”
It is a tragedy, but it is
also a very ugly reminder
of what can happen and
how things can go wrong
when you attempt to come
into the country illegally.
Enforcement spokeswoman Luisa Aquino said iIk
immigration service was working with the Mexican
consulate to arrange interviews with the survivors,
It is a tragedy, but it is also a very ugly reminderof
what can happen and how things can go wroiij
when you attempt to come into the country illegal),
Aquino said.
Tuesday’s discovery just east of Houstoncarar
three weeks after a stifling truck trailer
more than 70 undocumented immigrants was
covered abandoned in Victoria, Texas. Seventeen
were dead at the scene and two more died later.
Seven people have been arrested in that smug
gling operation. Authorities said they didn’t
believe the latest victims had been assisted by
smugglers.
“This re-emphasizes die
nature of what can happen if you
trespass and get into a railcar,
especially during these times
when temperatures are getting
hotter,” he said.
Union Pacific learned on
Monday that there might be dead
immigrants in a railcar, Davissaid.
They found the railcar contain
ing the bodies Tuesday morning
at the Union Pacific Coady Rail
Yard in Baytown, more than 24(1
miles east of La Coste, and noti
fied Harris County authorities.
"Put it this way: Whenyotiart

Union Pacific spokesman Mark Davis said the
immigrants jumped into the hopper car that nor
mally carries plastic pellets or grain Friday near the
border-area town of Spofford, Texas, 106 miles
west of La Coste. With temperatures outside in
recent days around 100 degrees, the two survivors
escaped some time Sunday through the manhole-
size opening on the top of the car, he said.
Van Pelt said there may have been seven peo
ple aboard the train but authorities immediately
were uncertain because they had not spoken with
the two known survivors.
Bureau of Immigration and Customs
outcome is,” Van Pelt said. “In a case like this, the
facts certainly speak for themselves.
“You’ve got the heat beating down on tbai
railcar, which radiates the heat and intensifiestbe
heat inside. It is extremely dangerous and cer
tainly, it could kill you.”
The recent series of deaths may curb illegal
immigration but only briefly, said Nelson Reyes,
executive director of the Central American
Refugee Center in Houston.
“I know that this is not the last time we are
going to hear about this,” he said.

LANCASTER, Texas — Two
daycare workers were charged
Tuesday with injury to a child
after the death of a 2-year-old left
unattended inside a sun-baked
van for more than two hours out
side the suburban Dallas daycare,
Lancaster police said.
Jimmie Smith, 47, and
Onetha Conners, 42, both of
Lancaster, face the second-
degree felony charges.
“We believe things were not
done that should have been done
to provide for the safety of the
children,” Sgt. Joe Hall said at a
news conference Tuesday in
Lancaster.
“We don’t have any reason to
believe anyone intentionally left
the boy in the van,” he said.
Workers at the Little Dudes
and Daisies Daycare and
Learning Center in Lancaster
said that Alan Brown Jr. was
inadvertently left in the van
Friday afternoon after he and
11 other children returned from
an outing to a pizza restaurant.
The workers realized Alan
was missing about two hours
later, after the other children
napped, authorities said.
Daycare workers found the boy
unconscious in the van and
emergency help was called. He
had been hospitalized in critical
condition at Children’s
Center in Dallas and diedjusi
after midnight Tuesday.
Hall said Smith and Conneis
are the two daycare workers who
went on the trip to the restauraol
with the children.
“They returned from a trip and
one of the children spent two
hours in a locked van,” Hall said.
“There’s some culpability there.”
“The temperature was over
100 degrees Friday and he was
suffering from heat-related
injuries,” Hall said.
Meanwhile, mourners
Tuesday left teddy bears and
flowers outside the daycare cen
ter, located in a small strip shop
ping center along with an auto
repair shop and a church. A hand
written note saying “We’re
Closed” was taped to the door of
the daycare center.
Injury to a child is punishable
by two years to 20 years in
prison and a fine.
“We’re just hopeful that
everyone will take notice with
small children or people with
disabilities and not leave them in
the car,” Hall said.
When asked what he thought
it was like for the boy to be
locked in the hot van. Hall was
quiet for a moment, then said in
a choked voice: “I don’t like to
think about that. It’s tough to
have to think about a baby going
through something like that.”

LAREDO, Texas (AP) - Both U.S.
and Mexican officials said they were
investigating the fatal shooting of an
illegal immigrant at the ranch of
former diplomat John Hurd.
Juan Garza Mendoza, who said
he accidently shot the 40-year-old
migrant Sunday night while hunt
ing, was released from Webb
County Jail Tuesday on $150,000
bond. He had been charged with
manslaughter on Monday.
Jesus Barrera Vasquez, of
Guanajuato, Mexico, died at the
scene from a single rifle shot to
the torso.
Mendoza, 34, told police
Vasquez was apparently crouching
in low brush and that he
Vasquez for a wild hog.
Sheriff Juan Garza said inteiviews
with other hunters and with the vic
tim’s companions led him to rule out
anything but an accidental
“But then again, Texas
law says that when you reckless!)
discharge a firearm and it kills
another person it’s a manslaughtei
charge,” Garza said.
He said the investigation was
ongoing pending results of an auto[>
sy to be conducted in San Antonio.
“The migrants said it was per
fectly light, and that they believe
the shooter must have been able
to see them because they weren't
that far away,” he said. "A
Mexican national has died of a
gunshot wound, and someone is
responsible.”
