PRESS RELEASE

JUDICIAL CORRUPTION & PENSION FUND FRAUD IN TEXAS

From: Billy C. Phillips (Longshoreman - Not Retired - Still Working)

One of my judges here in Harris County, State District Judge,
Bill Elliott, is a man who falsified his own death (Probate #773,
Sonora, Texas,4-18-82).  He stopped being a judge in 1995.
The same judge had a water by-pass around his water meter,
which makes him a thief (Pasadena Police Report
#91057241,10-2291).  Another of my judges, State District
Judge, Bill Henderson, was indicted and convicted by a jury
for bankruptcy fraud. He was put back on the bench to serve
out the rest of his term. Who ever heard of a person who
is a convicted felon being allowed to continuing being a judge?
No where but in Texas!

J.W. Elliott, Bill's brother, falsified his own death (Vol. 1281 -
Page 811, Limestone County, Texas, 8-13-73). When J.W.
falsified his death; he left $7.06 inheritance tax (Vol. 1281 -
Page 814, 9-10-74 - Receipt #87188).  J.W. witnessed Bill's
probate in 1982 - nine years after his own death in 1973!
No where but in Texas!

Bill Elliott, Jr. supposedly died in an airplane crash in the early
1980's.   If he died in the early 1980's, how could he have
filed bankruptcy in 1991 (Bankruptcy #691-60057-JAC-I I,
San Angelo, Texas, 7-22-91)?  He's registered to vote in
Harris County using an address that is a vacant lot, with no
house no street, no nothing (his mother and father are registered
to vote at the same address). He's also registered to vote in
Austin, San Angelo and Sonora, Texas.   He was taken off the
voter's registration roll in Sonora, the day before I got there to
look into the records. He's registered to vote as a Republican
in West Texas and a Democrat in East Texas. Where else could
you find something like this going on, but in Texas!

The District Attorney in Harris County (Johnny B. Holmes) told
me in a taped conversation that "he was not going to f- - - with
someone as big as Bill Elliott and there wasn't a damned thing
I could do about it". I paid for the filing of a petition to take
Johnny Holmes out of office, because he wouldn't do his job
(#93037714, The State of Texas vs Johnny B. Holmes, Jr.,
filed 7-21 -93). The case was put into Judge, Russell Lloyd's
court (District Court #334);  he dismissed it for
"want of prosecution". We wanted him to be prosecuted!
Two days after the dismissal I was told Johnny Holmes
transferred $87,000.00 drug seizure money to Judge, Russell
Lloyd's Court.  Two to three days later, the protestors put a
sign up in front of the Family Law Center that read "John
"Baby Doc" Holmes, Jr. - Stealing Money - American Bank
special account #113003470045314". Russell Lloyd is no
longer a judge. Wonder why the news media here in Houston
would not air this story!

I have asked for and paid for twelve-person jury trial to hear
my Petition for Bill of Review (Receipt #984562, 3-8-96) to
expose the fraud that was perpetrated upon myself, my
pension fund and the whole judicial system in Texas.  I wrote
a letter to the 311th District Court, which I mailed by certified
mail on 1-12-99 (Receipt #P-298-270-933) informing the court
that I had paid for a twelve-person jury and asking why my
Constitutional Rights had been denied by not allowing me to
have a jury trial. There was no response from the court, so I
went to the court with my tape recorder and a witness.
I gave a copy of the letter to the judge (Judge, Doug Warne)
who looked at it and handed it back to me. He referred me
to the clerk. The clerk told me my case was closed. I asked
"how can it be closed when I've asked for and paid for a jury
trial and I haven't had a jury trial yet?". A few words were said
and the bailiff said to me "let's go" When I was leaving the court
room, just before I got to the bar, I was pushed in my back by
the bailiff. At this time I did not know that this was assault.
When I found out; I went and filed a complaint with Internal
Affairs of the Harris County Sheriffs Department and gave them
a copy of the taped conversation taken during the assault. The
Internal Affairs "swept it under the rug".

I am amazed that people working in our judicial system can
get away with the things I have uncovered, and the news media
will not air, or print, this information; especially in light of the
fact I have given them certified copies and photographs as proof.

My Synopsis

I am not retired. I will be sixty-seven (67) years old on
3-13-2000. I am still working as a Longshoreman. This is my
37th year on the waterfront.  I.L.A. Local #24,
7811 Harrisburg Blvd., Houston, Texas 77012.

This is not about a divorce. This is about judicial corruption and
pension fraud. This is about my ex-wife drawing my retirement
now and I am not retired.  I was only married to her 17 years
total, but she is now drawing on 26 years of my retirement.
Five of those twenty six years, she was married to another man;
she divorced him (same court - same lawyer).  I was only
married to her 12 years and 11 months while working as a
longshoreman, which is were my retirement is at. I did not have
vested rights at the time our divorce was final on 9-1-76.
I became vested one month later on 10-1-76. My ex-wife
asked for part of my retirement at the time of our divorce and
I turned her down. Thirteen years after our divorce (in 1989),
she sued me "In The Interest of a Minor Child" for 50% of my
retirement. The "minor child" was 29 years old and already out
of college in 1989. She sued me, not the pension fund. A party
has to be named to be a part of a suit. The pension fund was
not named.

I have a petition now signed by over 300 Longshoremen
working at the Port of Houston, demanding that our federal
Government investigate our Pension Fund for financial
mismanagement of the Maritime Association - I.L.A. Pension,
Welfare and Vacation Funds. Copies of these petitions was
mailed out on 1-5-2000 to Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Kay Bailey
Hutchinson, Phil Gramm, Bill Archer, Kevin Brady, Nick
Lampson, Sheila Jackson Lee, Tom Delay, Ken Bentsen and
Gene Green.  So far, I've received form letters of
acknowledgment of receipt of the petitions from Phil Gramm
and Ken Bentsen.

The news media will not air, or print, news of this nature!
The news media must be too intimidated by our corrupt
judicial system here in Texas!  Are there any news groups in
this country who are not intimidated? If so, get in touch with me.

Lawyers must be intimidated also, because I cannot find one
to represent me.  Several longshoremen want to file a
class-action suit against our pension fund trustees. If not
intimidated, get in touch with me.
