                        New lead in huge manhunt for escapee from Texas
                        death row

                        HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) -- The search for
                        an inmate who escaped from death row shifted
                        Saturday night to a town east of the prison,
                        where a homeowner fired shots at an intruder in
                        his home. 

                        "We consider it a very solid lead," Texas prison
                        spokesman Larry Fitzgerald said late Saturday. 

                        A homeowner fired at a man about 5-foot,
                        7-inches, either a Hispanic or white man, which
                        generally fits the description of fugitive Martin
                        E. Gurule, Fitzgerald said. 

                        "He ran into the underbrush into a wooded area,"
Fitzgerald said. "We don't know whether it
                        was a hit or not but the guy did take off and run."
