Elderly man
robs bank so
he can die in
penitentiary
GALVESTON, Texas (AP) - A 74-
year-old man walking with a cane.
demanded that the bank teller put
money in his paper bag, and then sat
down with $10,000 to wait for police
bcause he wanted to die in prison, of-
ficials saidyesterday.
"I'm old, I'm sick, I'm going blind;
I'm an ex-convict and I want to go back:
to prison to die," a bank officer quoted
the man as saying.
SANTOS CASAREZ RIOS, arrested
at the U.S. National Bank, told deputies
he had no family and no one cared
about him, but he won't tell them much
else about himself.
Gilbert Bray, vice president of U.S.
National Bank, said yesterday that an
elderly -man entered the bank Monday
dressed in nicely pressed brown clothes
and walking with a cane.
The man approached a teller and
handed her a paper bag and a note
demanding it be filled with money,
Bray said.
THE TELLER hesitated a moment,
but started taking the man seriously
when she thought he might be armed.
"Be was just a little old man," said
the teller, Theresa Kalsnes. "I looked
'at this man and he handed me this bag
and told me to do it. So I started filling
the bag."
The teller said the man took the bag
filled with more than $10,000 and star-
ted walking toward the bank's security
offices.
"HE WAS SAYING something like,
'Call the police, I want to go to jail,' "
she said.
Bray said he was the first to confront
the unarmed elderly man after the rob-
bery and sat with him waiting for police
to arrive.
Sgt. Manuel Benavides, who works in
the jail, said he spent much of Monday
night talking with Rios.
"HE IS AN alert, lively, well-
mannered old gentleman," he said.
"He told me he had been wandering all
over Texas lately, trying to commit a
crime so he could be arrested."
Mike Wilson, Rios' court-appointed
attorney, said his client would not be
specific-about his background.
"I don't believe he has any family,"
Wilson said. "He seems to have wan-
dered around the state recently."
Wilson said he recommended his
client plead innocent to the charge. But
:sheriff's department officials said Rios
disagrees.
"He doesn't want to fight it," Capt.
Charles Wilson said. "Be just wanta to'
go on to prison."
Rios was charged Tuesday with theft
by threat and, according to his attor-
ney.

BOLOGNA, Italy (AP) - In a
massive display of anti-terrorist
outrage, more than 200,000 Italians
from all over the country attended a
public funeral yesterday for the 76 vic-
tims of last weekend's railway station.
bombing.
In Nice, France, police arrested a
right-wing suspect in the first apparent
break in the investigation of Saturday's
blast.
SPECIAL CHARTERED trains
brought Italians to this medieval city to
mourn the victims of what is being
called the worst act of terrorist violence.
in Europe since World War II.
The red, white and green flag of Italy
was lowered to half-staff at the 14th
century city hall and huge wreaths of
flowers were scattered in front of San
Petronio Basilica.
President Sandro Pertini and.
Premier Francesco Cossiga stood
before purple-draped coffins as hymns
echoed through the cavernous church.
THE CIVIC ceremony outside on the
main city square was- nominally non-
partisan but seemed to serve as a show
of strength for the local Communist
Party, which has run Bologna since
World War II. The ruling Christian
Democrat Party, largest in the country,
was represented by only one small sign.
Many in the raucous crowd carried
red flags with hammers and sickles,
waved left-wing banners and shouted
leftist rhetoric.
Mayor Renato Zangheri attacked the
federal government for nottaking
strong enough action against right-wing
attacks in Italy in the past five years.
"THESE MUTILATED bodies
demand justice," the mayor said.
"There have been too many wrong tur-
ns in the investigations, too much un-
certainty."
After Zangheri's speech, far-leftists
in the crowd chanted "Cossiga,
executioner!" and hissed at Socialist
Party Secretary Bettino Craxi.
Bodies of only eight victims were
present. Families of the other 68 dead
preferred to hold private ceremonies.
THE WHITE coffin of Angela Fresu,
of Empoli in central Italy, was less than
three feet long.
"How old was she?" one woman
asked. "Three years," said another,
and both burst into tears.
The impact of the bombing continued
torippleacross Italy.
The national union federation
proposed a fund from workers' con-
tributions to fight terrorism and help
families of its victims. Italians can-
celed scheduled events including an
opera performance in Palermo and a
bicycle race in Bologna. Shops closed
nationwide to honor the dead.
