Reg. $159 NOW $6998 By Patrice Gravino American-Statesman Staff Three Austin hospitals coordinated efforts Friday as the organs of a stroke victim at St. David's Community Hospital were removed for transplants here and in Boston. St. David's officials said the transplants marked the first time their hospital had joined with Se-ton Medical Center and Bracken-ridge Hospital in such an organ retrieval effort.

The stroke victim was a 46-year-old Austin man. A 51-year-old Austin man received the heart late Friday at Se-ton. The liver was removed by a Boston surgical team, who transplanted it in a patient there after removal at St. David's. Members of Central Texas Organ Procurement based at Brack-enridge, who matched the organs with patients, were looking for a suitable kidney recipient, said Dr.

Gerald Beathard, medical director of the agency. In addition, the donor's corneas, skin and bone would be available for transplants, Beathard said. All the vital organs would be transplanted within 24 hours, he said. The combined effort, which had doctors and nurses from the different hospitals working together most of Friday, was the first of its kind, and a welcome one, they said. "The common goal is to enhance and prolong life," said Shirley Williamson, a registered nurse and transplant coordinator for the organ procurement agency.

"Through this very generous donation, the family (of the donor) has provided people with the chance to live again," Williamson said. She said the family did not want to be identified. "It takes away the competition and brings in the teamwork" between the hospitals, said Yvonne George, head nurse of St. David's intensive care unit. Williamson began the nationwide search for organ recipients before dawn Friday.

She contacted hospitals throughout the U.S. via a computer network set up for that purpose. The organ donor was pronounced brain dead about 1 a.m. Friday, said Jan McCrory, St. David's spokesperson.

The Rev. Chuck Meyer, St. David's chaplain, said the organ donor's family decided not long after to approve the transplants. "Fortunately, this was a family that had discussed that beforehand, and in depth," Meyer said, enabling the transplant network to swing into action within a few hours. Meyer said that facing death and then the idea of the organ transplants is "doubly hard" on the donor's family, but that the thought of giving life to another is what pulls them through.

"There's been a lot of human involvement in this," said Sally Gil-lam, director of critical care nursing at St. David's. "You take this tragic situation and turn it into a positive alternative. That's what has gotten everybody going on this." Reg. $766 WAS $429 NOW WAREHOUSE CLEARANCE UP TO 80 OFF Financing subject to credit approval $250 minimum purchase.

In addition to ordering the jail closing in 1990, Capelle issued six other orders regarding operation of the old jail: That no one be held in the "holding facilities of the Travis County Jail for longer than 24 hours" as of Nov. 15. After Jan.

5, 1989, no one is to be held in the holding facility for more than 12 hours. That was in response to testimony that inmates have been held for as long as 48 hours in a facility designed to house prisoners for 12 hours. That after Nov. 1 of this year, "only Texas Department of Corrections ready inmates are to be introduced into the 'old' Travis County Jail." After Jan. 15, 1989, no pretrial detainees are to be housed in the old jail.

That no women are to be housed in the old jail. That no more than 255 inmates the facility's capacity be housed in the old jail beginning Friday. Capelle also set a timetable for reducing the population of the old jail. That court liaison officer Charles Craig report regularly and in writing on overall jail conditions, including food and laundry services. That he be given at least 30 days notice if the parties cannot, comply with the order.

Taylor, who has represented inmates in the suit for the past 16 years, said after the announcement Friday that he is disappointed with aspects of the order. "We're going to be having hearings (on the suit) until at least 1990. I didn't expect anybody to be locked up in jail that would be cruel and unusual punishment, (but) I want something to hold over somebody's head," said Taylor. Capelle "patted both sides. He has ordered the jail to be closed before," Taylor noted.

Travis County Attorney Ken Oden acknowledged that the old jail had been ordered closed before, "but not with a date certain." Outside the federal courthouse, Oden and Aleshire trained their sights again on the state. The county has filed a motion to make state officials co-defendants in the Travis County jail suit. A hearing on that motion is scheduled Nov. 2. Aleshire said the new jail would be financed through certificates of obligation, which do not require voter approval.

The county judge was quick to add, however, that "there will be plenty of public input" before the certificates are issued.
