ELDORADO, Texas (AP) - A grand jury issued three
new felony indictments Thursday against members
of a polygamist sect raided here in April.
Schleicher County Clerk Peggy Williams confirmed
the grand jury issued indictments against three
individuals. She would not say who was indicted or
what the indictments allege, other than that they
are felonies.
A spokesman for the Attorney General's Office,
which is handling the prosecution of the case,
also declined to comment on what the indictments
allege or who the accused are.
The indictments, which followed a day of women in
prairie dresses again filing in and out of the grand
jury meeting room, were the second set issued
since the grand jury began meeting in June on the
case. Six indictments were issued last month.
