Lamar, 452-8811. DALLAS Tarrant County officials, who recently battled crowding in their jails, now face the prospect of not having enough prisoners.
Just eight months ago, more than 800 prisoners slept on jail floors as more more inmates poured into the J' county's four jails. State prison pansion, however, means Texas plan to soon reclaim prisoners J-they have been housing in Tarrant County, leaving as many as 2,000 empty jail beds in the county's lock-j ups. Tarrant County leaders are "grappling with what do with fewer prisoners. Among their options closing one jail, laying off jail per- sonnel, trying to lease the empty beds and overhauling older jail facilities. ARLINGTON An Arlington man is behind bars i after allega- tjons 0f napping anri qpyi lal the shooting death of his estranged wife's boyfriend, whose body, chained to a 150-pound anvil, was discovered in a lake.
Michael Barnes, 41, of Parker County had been shot in the head and kneecaps, chained to an anvil and dropped into the lake from the Interstate 820 bridge.

A Tarrant County jury took less than two hours Thursday to decide Henry Watkins Skinner should be executed for committing three murders on New Year's Eve 1993.
Skinner, 32, said the jury was wrong. "I did not do this," the Virginia native said. "I loved my girlfriend and her two sons very much, and I miss them a lot, and I think about them every day." Jurors last week found Skinner guilty of capital murder in the deaths of Twila Busby, Randy Busby and Scooter Caler in their Pampa home. Testimony showed Twila Busby, 40, was struck 14 times with an ax handle. Her sons 20-year-old Randy and 22-year-old Caler -were stabbed.
Authorities arrested Skinner the night of the murders at a nearby home. His clothes were bloody and his right hand was severely cut. Skinner says he was drunk and doesn't know what happened. RAYMONDVILLE A 16-year-old gang mem- 1 ber has tenced to 99 years in jr prison in r' the killing of a man with whom he had quarreled over a last can of beer. George Longoria once belittled the punishment he expected to receive, Assistant District Attorney John Blaylock said.
"I'm still a juvenile. How long to you think I'll get? Ten days?" Blaylock quoted Longoria as telling investigators. Instead, the teen-ager was tried as an adult and given the maximum sentence Thursday. According to prosecutors, 25-year-old Matias Perez came over to Longoria's house and asked if he could have the last can of beer that Longoria had been drinking with friends. Longoria argued with Perez about the beer and then struck the older man with a hoe so hard that the handle broke, Blaylock said.
Leroy Cantu, 18, Alejandro Olivarez 17, and Agustin Salazar, 17, pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and were sentenced to between 15 and 20 years in prison. 7 was just trying to move my docket. Judge Bonnie Reed I've found no case like this at all," Kevin Warburton, an attorney for Reed, told The Dallas Morning News. "I've found no precedent that any sitting judge has ever been held in contempt by a higher court," he said. The Texas Constitution allows lawyer-legislators to temporarily delay trial proceedings 30 days before or after the Legislature is in session.
A retired chief justice of the 4th Court said he had not heard of a problem with the legislative continuance. "Mainly because throughout my career, if the higher court told a lower court to stop, they always stopped," said Judge Carlos Ca-dena, who retired from the appellate bench five years ago. If the appeals court finds Reed in contempt, she could be fined $500 and spend 180 days in jail. Mike Griffin, a detective with the Travis County sheriffs department. Members of the Travis County Dive Team found Scott's body at 2:38 a.m.
Sunday in about 125 feet of water 100 yards from the west bank of Windy Point, said Griffin. Her death was ruled an accidental drowning, said an investigator for the medical examiner's office.

"They neither no-billed nor indicted," District Attorney Carlos Valdez said after the grand jurors met Thursday. "The action they took was to send a letter to the judge." In the letter, the panel recommended that the firing range in the Calallen area be closed permanently. The letter also states, "We find no evidence of criminal activity in this matter whatsoever." The grand jury invesigation started Feb.
23, three weeks after Trey Youngblood, 17, was struck by a bullet fired by a deputy practicing at the range. Youngblood said he was struck in the back while walking along the fence on his family's property about 200 yards from the firing range. Two days later, the firing range was shut and six deputies were suspended with pay. The deputies were reinstated later that week after investigators determined the errant shot came from the pistol of a deputy who had been with the department almost 10 years. He was not disciplined, officials said.
The Associated Press The Texas Supreme Court has named retired Justice John E. Onion as special master to sort out the dispute. A ruling is pending after a hearing was held March 17. Reed said she believed the nature of John M. Ojeda's trial deserved prompt justice.
"I've had two homicides and one suicide in family violence cases before my court, so I didn't want it on my conscience if this case was delayed," she said. Ojeda was arrested in February 1994 in connection with alleged bodily injury and assault on a child after a disturbance involving his estranged wife and their infant son. But Longoria said there was no danger since the couple had reconciled. "This was not some case of longstanding spousal abuse, stalking or continuing violence to the woman or the child," he said. "The facts of the case indicated he had slapped his wife and, in the process, knocked the child down.
His wife didn't want to testify." Deaths BECKMAN, Richard Ernest, of Blanco died Saturday. Services 3 p.m. Tuesday, Trinity Lutheran Church, Blanco. Burial Blanco Cemetery, Blanco. (Crofts, Blanco) JOHNSON, Chester 69, of Cedar Park died Sunday.
