as they attempted to monitor the activity inside. One man was seen through a window holding a shotgun Just before all the lights were turned out. Persons living nearby were evacuated from their homes. A Spanish-speaking officer was called to the scene and after police obtained the telephone number and called the house, he was able to talk Villareal out. An investigator and two officers then went inside through the front door and reportedly found Hernandez unconscious at the kitchen table.

Both men were then transported to Comal County Jail. Police recovered the shotgun and two large knives as well as a pellet gun. Lt. John Wommack, one of the officers who went inside to locate the second suspect, said police were content to wait as long as necessary. He said ordering the men out may have resulted in needless gunfire and injuries to the suspects and officers.

"Time is on our side," said Wommack. "We'd rather take our time than rush in and get someone hurt." The woman was physically unharmed but was upset and shaken, according to police. Neighbors and passersby gathered across the street and watched as police moved around the house and crouched behind their patrol cars, waiting for the suspects to surrender. One neighbor said there frequently is firing of weapons into the air from that house and said, "Maybe now we'll get some peace and quiet, at least for a little while." Police said the pair did not threaten police with the shotgun, although one officer overheard one of the men inside say that they would not be taken by police.

In light of recent economic problems and business closings, Hansen said there are a number of qualified persons desperate for work. This course might give them the skills they need to find new employment, she said. "A lot of people have gotten laid off from jobs ofter 15 years or so and they never had to look for that first Stammtisch Continued from Page A tension Service, will feature Ernest Mortensen and his son Dr. John Mortensen, who will talk about grape rootstocks and Pierce's disease, along with two seedless varieties Dr. John Mortensen has developed.

"I think it's a dirty trick by the DA," he said. "Mr. Molina is just as guilty. I'm bitter about that and I don't care who knows. "My son didn't do it, dope did.

It was a horrible crime, but he should be rehabilitated, it's in the hands of God." The elder Brimage said he has little hope his son will escape the death penalty, but said he expects the case to have a different outcome in a court of appeals. Should Brimage be sentenced to death by lethal injection, the case will be appealed automatically. "I'm not too optimistic with this jury, but I'm more optimistic with an appeal. There are too many holes in this trial and the way it was conducted," said Richard Brimage, Defense counsel throughout the trial argued the relevance of much of the evidence admitted, such as sexual aids and pieces of undergarments cut and tied in knots found inside the house where the crime occurred. Also, the defense argued the validity of the search of the Brimage home by Kingsville police when no search warrant had been issued.

Defense counsel said their client's fights to counsel before giving any statements may have been violated. Their objections were overruled by Banales. Attorneys for the defense and for the state would not comment Tuesday because of a mutual agreement to hold any comments until the sentencing phase of the trial is completed. Molina testified he had supplied Brimage with cocaine for several days leading up to the morning of Oct. 5, 1987, and was present when Brimage used a script to lure the young woman to his house with the belief she was going to receive engineering tools to surprise her boyfriend.

Brimage confessed to wanting Kunkel sexually and when she resisted, he killed her. He said Molina participated and even touched her indecently after the pair injected her with cocaine. Molina denied the allegations. While there was no evidence of sexual attack, the state argued that the crime was sexual in nature and premeditated in a manner that Brimage never intended to allow the woman to leave the house alive. Brimage was characterized by the prosecution as sexually frustrated.

Kunkel's death was ruled by apshyxiation and strangulation. Brimage confessed to strangling her with his hands. Costs Continued from Page 1A service available by completing an order form and sending a check to cover services. Order forms are available from letter carriers and retail clerks. The deficit reduction law that prompted the hours reduction requires the U.S.

Postal Service to trim its budget by $1.245 billion over the next 21 months. The local reduction reflects a 10 percent cut in window service hours. "The law limits both capital and i operating expenditures," Moland said. "Capital reductions require the immediate elimination of most building projects and equipment purchases around the nation. "Two-thirds of the operating reduction costs are being absorbed internally, largely through administrative cutbacks.

A remaining third must be made through a 10 percent nationwide reduction in retail hours and other, less visible means," the postmaster added. The Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 requires the postal service to make various payments to the federal government over the next 21 months, amounting to $1,25 billion. In the San Antonio Division, which includes New Braunfels, operational costs totaling $1.49 million must be absorbed in the 1988 fiscal year. Moland said several San Antonio post offices will be closed on Saturdays as part of budget-cutting measures. Because postal service is available only at the local post office, he said, that service will not be cut locally.

job. Now, they're out there and they're scared to death." Hansen said. She added that job seekers now are a "different population" from those she has seen in previous years. She is seeking the recent unemployed and those in serious need of a job, she said. "I would say the majority are desperate for jobs," Russell said.

Both said a number of the persons signing up for the merchandising course have more education than expected. Russell said the merchandising course will be taught by professional teachers. "I wanted a variety of teachers," she said. Russell added that the course will teach the ins and outs of a sales clerk's job. The course starts Feb.

15. It will be taught from 6 to 10 p.m. for eight weeks at the old Canyon Middle School campus. Hansen said interested persons need to enroll this week. Russell said the course will teach job-seeking and interviewing skills.

Participants also will prepare resumes. She added that the course is not geared to only the traditional women's jobs. The new shopping center will have a number of stores that will likely need both men and women employees, she said. Once the course is over, Hansen will take over and help the participants find a job. She said employers of JTPA participants are eligible for tax credits.

The merchandising training class is the first cooperative effort between Comal school district and AACOG. Both women said they plan to work together in the future to form other classes for persons needing jobs. To enroll in the course, contact Russell at CISD at 625-8081 or, for persons who wish to participate in the government funding program, contact Hansen at 629-2949.
