TEXAS CITY Cries for help from a man in a hotel bathtub were ignored by a now rehabilitated crack cocaine addict, who testified Wednesday in the murder trial of William Henry Perry.
Arnoldo L. Garza, 37, of Galveston, testified that when Perry, 50, left the hotel room, Gary Wayne Bell was in the tub and still was alive.
Perry and Brian Richardson, 28, are charged with murder in Bells death.
Bell, 39, was beaten, choked and drowned April 12, 2008, at the Comfort Inn and Suites in Texas City.
Bells mostly nude body was found the following day, hogtied and bobbing in the Galveston Bay surf near an 81st Street bulkhead in Galveston.
Soliciting Sex
Garza told a jury in Judge John Ellisors 122nd District Court in Galveston that he was inside the hotel room with Mary Jowers, a prostitute, Richardson, Perry and Bell.
