CALLER Tuei Apr 11 1977 MM AmsHtlN PWH case since leaving office told the panel "The state has to prove when he committed an act of deviant sexual intercourse he knew he was in a public place (and that) he was in a common area of the shop" "I will have a genuine dispute with the county attorney over whether the act occurred and if it occurred it occurred in a public place and if it occurred in a public place it occurred in a common area of the public place" Smith said Smith said he agreed with the law against public lewdness because it would embarrass him to witness sexual acts "out in public where it'll scare the horses" State Dist Judge Tate McCain of Palestine subpoenaed as a witness by the defense told reporters outside the courtroom the trial has "ruined" Green as a prosecutor regardless of its outcome "He is attacking the very institution (law enforcement) he AUSTIN It took a full day to select a three-man three-woman Jury Monday for the public lewdness trial of Palestine

Texaa drug kingpin Fred Gomez Carraico zaid Monday it'a time to begin a court of inquiry into Carrasco's death during a bloody prison shootout nearly three years ago "I would think this would be a good time to hold the court of inquiry" said Anthony Nicholas attorney for Rosa Carraico Nicholas is representing Mrs Carrasco her parents and Carrasco's parents He said a court of inquiry would lay to rest many of the questions remaining unanswered since abortive 1974 escape attempt from the Walls unit of the Huntsville prison "One thing we want answered is to find out once and for all whether Carrasco was responsible for killing the hostages during the break Nicholas said Texas Atty Gen John Hill announced the formal inquiry a few weeks after the prison seige ended in August 1974 Prison officials said after the shootout that Carrasco and other inmates were responsible for killing the hostages However there has been speculation by Carrasco's family and others that the hostages were killed by police bullets during the shootout Hill later postponed the court of inquiry claiming he would hold off pending court action against several persons who were accused of involvement in the

the job of director of Immigration and Naturalisation a letter written to a Houston newspaper said it would be like having the fox guard the chickens It was an obvious reference to Castillo's Mexican-American background and the problem of illegal Mexican aliens But Castillo 37 who has built a solid reputation as a capable administrator in five years as controller can laugh about the letter
