Police suspect the three belong to a loose-knit group with about a dozen members who have cheated others of more than $394,000. "And I think the $394,000 figure is just a drop in the bucket," investigator Willie Hughes said Wednesday. "I feel like only one in 10 of these things is reported because the victims often are convinced they're involved in some kind of illegal activity."

NATION Government requirements ignored WASHINGTON (AP) The government's alcohol and drug testing requirements for railroad workers were more than a decade in the making and are less than a year old, but they already have been the object of numerous squabbles and this week were simply ignored. Federal accident investigators were stunned and angered after discovering that post-accident drug and alcohol tests were not conducted on some Amtrak crew members following Sunday's collision of an Amtrak passenger train and three freight locomotives near Baltimore in which 15 people died. "There's is no justification for Amtrak's failure to follow the provisions of the rule," John Riley, the federal railroad administrator, declared Wednesday.

He said Amtrak would be fined "the maximum civil $2,500 per violation for not testing the conductor and two assistant conductors. Researcher analyzes rape rates NEW YORK (AP) A nationwide analysis of such factors as readership of violent magazines and TV viewing supports a theory that societal acceptance of some violence can contribute to increased rape rates, a researcher says. The study produced what sociologist Larry Baron of Yale University termed a "legitimate violence index," and found that a state's score on that index was among several factors associated with higher rape rates. Other experts called the study interesting, but said it did not prove that the more a society approves using physical force to attain approved goals the greater the likelihood of violence in areas like relations between the sexes. It also found higher correlations between rape rates and the percentage of divorced males and the percentage of population living in urban areas.

(Staff photo) Charges dropped against car's driver SAN MARCOS (AP) Hays County prosecutors have dropped a criminally negligent homicide charge against Gregory Allen, driver of the car in which the 13-year-old daughter of country singer George Strait was killed. Jenifer Strait died June 25, 1986, when the car driven by Allen rolled over while making a turn south of County home San Marcos, Strait's home. Allen was 18 years old at the time of the accident. Prosecutor Don Davis said Wednesday he will resubmit evidence in the case to a Hays County grand jury next week.

Two previous grand juries have heard the case. The first indicted Allen on charges of involuntary manslaughter, a felony. Former District Attorney Bill Rugeley agreed to dismiss that indictment in response to arguments by the defense that it was vaguely worded. Rugeley resubmitted the case to a grand jury in October, which recommended the misdemeanor charge. Davis, chief felony prosecutor for ByGARYGOSSETT Staff Writer A Guadalupe County resident has reported more than $11,000 in property has been stolen from a residence he owns at 9800 Stockdale Hwy.

John W. Wasicek, who presently lives in Alice, told sheriff's investigators the theft occurred between the dates of Dec. 31, 1986 and Jan. 7,1987. Included in the theft was lumber he said was worth $5,000.

Also taken were a riding lawnmower valued at microwave oven, $890; 25-inch color television set with remote control and sitting on a swivel base, $850; stereo-cassette player with AM-FM radio and turntable, $500; approximately 200 record albums valued at $12 each and a 35mm camera valued at $156. Also taken were some clothing, furniture, an electric typewriter, antique wall mirror, three fans and a grader blade. Harland Dedeke, Rt. 1, New Braunfels, told sheriff's officers his residence was burglarized between 2 and 2:15 p.m. Wednesday.

Reported taken were a .22 caliber rifle valued at $100, two electric heaters worth $30 each, a gold piece about the size of a dime, several silver dollars, some clothing and possibly some other items. He said he would deliver a complete list of the missing property to the sheriff's office after completing an inventory of the residence. new District Attorney Charles Chapman, told County Court-at-Law Judge Howard Warner he agreed with arguments made by Allen's lawyer, Joe Turner, in a motion to quash the latest misdemeanor. indictment. Davis said he will be going back to the grand jury to dispel doubts raised by Turner about the fairness of the grand jury process under former district attorney Rugeley.

In October, when trying to have the indictment dismissed, Turner said the first grand jury may not have heard evidence favorable to his client. Turner also complained that Rugeley's assistant, Michael Grazier, reneged on a promise to let him accompany Allen before the second panel. Grazier said no such promise ever was made. Davis stressed that the decision to resubmit evidence to the grand jury was not meant to criticize previous handling of the case by Rugeley or Grazier.
