(Section A) vise the new system, explained how it works. "It puts the county attorney and district attorney in between the filer (usually a police officer or private citizen) and the magistrate," Dear said. The attorneys assess whether the case is strong enough to take to court since they will prosecute it Dear said.

"In screening by the county and district attorney, we lessen the chance that the accused sits in jail for months on a charge which may ultimately end up being dismissed," Dear said. The system, implemented Sept. 15, "Is still in its evolutionary stages," Dear said. "Right now, we're going through an extremely confusing time," he said. Several police officers echoed those sentiments Tuesday, saying they were uncertain about the new Municipal Court procedures in a system that had remained virtually unchanged for years.

Russell and Dear said the system is improved and both suspects and law enforcement officers will benefit "An officer doesn't have to tie up the loose ends of an investigation now before bringing a suspect before a judge. Probable cause is enough," Russell said. Before, police officers may have delayed the appearance before a judge until they had time to type up and submit their sworn statement on the case's evidence, Russell said. In addition, the case's strengths or weaknesses can be reviewed by county or district prosecutors, Dear said. By SUSAN ASCHOFF American-Statesman Staff Confusion over a change in procedure at Municipal Court led court employees and police officers to report falsely that an Austin man had been charged In two murders rather than one this week.

Charles Albert Franklin is charged with inten-: tional murder in the Friday night slaying of Christine Glines. Monday, however, court employees and a police officer said Franklin also had been charged in the Thursday beating death of James Allen Shiflet Officially, Franklin is charged only in Glines' death and is being held in Travis County Jail on $50,000 bond. The confusion began with Franklin's appearance before Municipal Judge Steve Russell Sunday after his arrest Saturday in Glines' death. "I set bond on a single intentional murder charge Sunday," Russell said. The proceeding, called a commitment, meant Russell had found probable cause for the charge and thus told Franklin his rights, set bond and sent Franklin back to City Jail.

Monday night, after a review by the District Attorney's office, a formal complaint was filed In the case. The complaint was in the same slaying, but the additional procedure Monday night led to the erroneous reports Franklin was charged in an additional murder. "It's never happened before, and my hope is it will never happen again," Russell said. The for-. mal complaint a day after the commitment was an effort by the District Attorney's office to cover all the legal bases in the case.

Those involved in the case at the district attorney's office could not be reached for comment Tuesday. State District Judge Jim Dear, who helped de-" George Strake Jr. by from ramming through a separate presidential primary that was thought designed to favor Republican presidential candidate John Connally. Strake said he would have kept the senators in (hie Senate chamber, though he did not say how. Hobby dispatched the Department of Public Safety to find the absent senators in 1979, to no avail.

disappearance killed the separate primary, which had been opposed by Republican and leaders. Hobby, who has been lieutenant governor since 1973, Issued a press release Tuesday pointing out his accomplishments and claiming that he helped shape the state's "sunset" law, installed zero-; based budgeting, and designed legislation protect- Ing the highway system against inflation. In his prepared statement, Strake said Texans need a lieutenant governor "who has a proven record of sound fiscal management" Strake, 46, like Hobby a Houstonian who inherited his wealth and worked in his parents' business, said he is prepared to raise and spend $3 million to win the office. Strake was flanked on one side by oilman Eddie Chiles and political strategist Ken Towery, who has managed several races for Sen. John Tower and worked in the Ronald Reagan Texas campaign, and on the other by his wife, Annette, and four of Strake's six children.
