I know that most of you are not aware of this and might be shocked by this, but I know that, like me, some of you remember this. My dad and my mom were talking about this assassination that occurred on July 11, 1968, in McAllen. Apparently, it had some mob connections. I was later to find out also some connections to a famous person in Hollywood.

Records show that Jimmy Horn, a bookkeeper, was walking into Wyatt's Cafeteria in McAllen when he noticed his boss, Sam Degelia, Jr., along with his business partner, Pete Scamardo. The records indicate that Horn asked them to join him for dinner, but Degelia told him he was waiting for some men regarding a business deal. Horn was going to be the last person to see Degelia alive, who was not involved in his death.

Later that evening, Degelia was picked up by Charles Voyde Harrelson and Jerry O'Brien Watkins. By this time, Scamardo, Degelia's partner, was facing financial difficulties, and since Harrelson owed him money from some heroin that Harrelson had lost, Scamardo said he would pay Harrelson $2,000 to kill Degelia. Scamardo stood to collect $100,000 in insurance money upon Degelia's death. Harrelson was a mob hitman who later assassinated a federal judge in San Antonio.

Ranger Tol Dawson conducted the investigation, and you will see photos of some of his report when he recovered the murder weapon on 2nd Street. The longest report was the confession he got from Jerry Watkins who detailed how they drove on South Depot Road (23rd Street) in McAllen with Sam Degelia to a shack and that was where Harrelson killed him. That report is too lengthy to include here.

Charles Harrelson was the father of actor Woody Harrelson of Cheers fame.

Brownsville, Texas

Residents of Brownsville, Texas, will finally have an independent bookstore to call their own in 2023, as Búho announces plans to open in the historic Calderoni Building on Washington Street. The 101-year-old building, which has been beautifully renovated by Enrique Solórzano, will serve as the perfect home for the full-service bookstore that the community deserves.

In the meantime, Búho will continue to hold pop-up events, with some of them taking place inside the Calderoni Building so that customers can watch the progress being made. The store still has much work to do, including acquiring bookshelves and decor and building the right team to staff the store.

Búho's founder expressed gratitude for the support the store has received so far and emphasized the hard work and dedication that will be required to make the store a success. "2023 will be a year of hard work and new lessons, but we WILL continue our pop-up events," they said. "There's lots to look forward to - everything is slowly falling into place!"

With the opening of Búho, Brownsville residents can look forward to having a vibrant, community-focused bookstore in their town.

Texas Dem Party Chair: “Texas Republicans will tell you that picking up TX-15 shows that they’re gaining ground with Hispanics in South Texas. Let me be clear: that’s complete bullshit... Texas Republicans literally redrew TX-15 to be less Hispanic and more white..."
