Jury finds Mrs. Van Orden guilty

COLUMBUS, Ind. (AP) - A Bartholomew Circuit Court judge has ordered Julie Van Orden, convicted of murdering former Evansville Mayor Russell G. Lloyd, to remain at a state mental hospital pending a pre-sentencing investigation. A jury of seven men and five women convicted Ms. Van Orden, 37, Thursday night after deliberating more than six

showed no emotion when the verdict was announded. Her attorney Charles Berger, of Evansville said he would appeal. Judge Albert D. Silva did not set a sentencing date and ordered the pre-sentencing investigation. He also ordered Miss Van Orden returned to the Madison State Hospital, where she has been undergoing psychiatric treatment since August 1980. The verdict came after more than two weeks of testimony in the trial, which was moved twice from Vanderburgh County to Floyd County and then to Bartholomew County. All of the changes were requested by Ms. Van Orden, who claimed prejudical pre-trial publicity. A week before the trial began, Berger admitted his client’s

Two workers die in 124-foot water tower plunge

BOSSIER CITY, La. (AP) - Two men plunged 124 feet to their deaths when a cable holding a heavy steel plate snapped as they were installing the base of a water tank atop a tower. The foreman, who was holding a rope attached to a steel plate, was injured, officials said. The two men on top of the tower were standing on one of the big wedge-shaped pieces of steel already in place as part of the tank’s bottom and another was being lowered into place about 9:30 a.m., authorities said.

guilt and asked to reverse court procedure in order to determine her sanity. Berger wanted to present his arguments before the prosecution, reversing normal courtroom procedure. He said his client admitted her guilt, so there was no reason for the prosecution to present its case against Ms. Van Orden. Silva denied the request. The jury began deliberations after a lunch break which followed a morning of final arguments by defense and prosecution attorneys. In his final argument, Deputy Prosecutor J. Douglas Knight said there were two questions in the case: whether or not Ms. Van Orden committed the crime and whether she was legally responsible.

“The cable snapped and dropped the steel plate that they had lifted to the top,” said City Engineer Ronald Carlson.

Minister files conspiracy lawsuit

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) - A former Lutheran minister from Decatur has filed a $9.9 million lawsuit claiming he was the victim of a conspiracy to defame his character and remove him from the ministry. The suit was filed in Allen Superior Court Thursday by Jeffrey C. Kinery. It named the Indiana district of the Lutheran

Clubs, gas disperse protestors in Warsaw

By The Associated Press Polish police in downtown Warsaw battled young demonstrators with rubber clubs and tear gas and in southern Poland the military regime reported seven dead and 80 injured in a clash with striking miners. Reports from Poland, which have been sketchy since martial law was declared there Sunday, said the police broke up demonstrations Thursday evening as crowds of students and others chanted, “Fascist,” “Gestapo,” “Solidarity,” and “Lech Walesa.” The protesters, defying a ban on public meetings, apparently gathered to mark the 11th anniversary of food riots in Gdansk in which scores of workers were killed in a rebellion that foreshadowed the birth of the Solidarity labor movement. Meanwhile in Washington, the State Department urged Americans to leave Poland because of its “uncertain and

Reagan has news conference

U.S. aid to Poland Impossible'

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Reagan says “it will be impossible” for the United States to send food and economic aid to Poland as long as thousands are imprisoned and the country is under martial law. In his strongest statement about the crisis, Reagan said, “We view the current situation in Poland in the gravest of terms, particularly the increasing use of force against an unarmed population and violations of the basic civil rights of the Polish people. “Violence invites violence and threatens to plunge Poland into chaos. We call upon all free people to join in urging the government of Poland to reestablish conditions that will make constructive negotiations and compromise possible.” At a nationally broadcast news conference Thursday, the president also criticized Israel for annexing the Golan Heights of Syria, saying the action had “increased the difficulty of seeking peace in the Middle East” and “introduces a factor that has complicated things.” Asked whether he still

unstable condition.” And in a nationally televised news conference, President Reagan indicated the United States thinks the Soviet Union at least partly responsible for the crackdown in Poland. “It would be naive to think this could happen without the full knowledge and support of the Soviet Union,” he said. “We are not naive.” In one demonstration outside the Church of the Holy Cross near Warsaw University, trouble began when a group of students gathered on the steps began chanting, “Poland, Poland.” Militia officials warned the crowd to leave and then called in squads of riot police. The police, clutching plastic shields, began chasing the youths and bystanders gathered in the street, firing teargas canisters into the fleeing crowd as the protesters chanted “Long live freedom” and “Gestapo,

Letter-bomb found in White House mail WASHINGTON (AP) A “rather rudimentary” letter-bomb addressed to President Reagan arrived in the White House mail Thursday and was defused without incident, Secret Service spokesman Dick Hartwig said. The bomb was in manila envelope, 6 inches by 9 inches and Vt inch thick and was discovered as all the incoming mail was being routinely examined under a fluoroscope by the Secret Service, according to Hartwig. He said he thought it was the first such explosive device arriving by mail at the White House since Reagan became president Jan. 20. “It was not sophisticated, it was a rather rudimentary type of device,” said Hartwig. He added that its assembly was “crude” and it might not have exploded. He said the device could have hurt someone had it gone off, but he declined to discuss details of the explosive material. The envelope was postmarked at San Juan, Puerto Rico, and bore a return name and address in San Juan, according to Hartwig. “We’re checking it out now,” he said.

Gestapo.” Several students were beaten on the steps of the church, witnesses said. In another incident near the church, a bearded “Samaritan” confronted a policeman beating a demonstrator. The man pulled the youth from the officer’s grasp so he could escape into the crowd. When the policeman raised his arm to strike, the “Samaritan” offered him a flower. The stunned officer turned away. Meanwhile, at Victory Square, in central Warsaw, riot police aimed the machine guns of their armored personnel carriers at crowds gathering to pray at a cross of wreaths and flowers laid out in memory of Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski, the Roman Catholic primate who died last May. A few people were allowed to pray at the cross, but others were dispersed. The demonstrations and

reports of continuing strikes elsewhere in the country indicated that despite a massive show of force and continuing arrests that have so far confined an estimated 15,000 to 75,000 people, the military still does not have a firm grip on the country. But travelers who arrived in Western Europe Thursday on the first flights since the crackdown said the massive military presence and heavy weapons in Warsaw had created a “state of fear” in the streets. “The people are calm, but they are terrorized,” said one man who declined to be identified for fear of endangering relatives in Poland. Warsaw Radio insisted the “streets of the capital are calm,” and said “normal work” was being carried out at the “vast majority” of heavy industry plants.

balance the federal budget by 1984. At the same time, the president said he would not delay the tax cuts approved earlier this year and declared, “I have no plans for increasing taxes in any way” to reduce the deficit, which his advisers now estimate could exceed a record SIOO billion a year through 1984. Later, however, deputy White House spokesman Larry Speakes indicated that Reagan went too far. He said Reagan probably would propose at least some new taxes for 1983, perhaps from the package of $22 billion in tax increases he recommended last September. Reagan told reporters that he does not expect Labor Secretary Raymond Donovan to take a leave from his job if a special prosecutor is named to investigate allegations that he knew his contraction firm was making illegal payments to union officials. At the same time, Reagan would not say whether Richard V. Allen would get his job back as national security adviser if he is cleared in in a Justice Department probe.

each of which weighed several thousand pounds, according to Carlson. The foreman, Michael Surratt, 34, was treated and released from Bossier General Hospital, said nursing spokesman Bob Ferriss. A rope attached to the steel plate wrapped around his foot, yanking himself about 30 feet into the air and then dropping him when the cable broke about 9:30 a.m., Carlson said. But Ferriss said Surratt’s worst injury was a broken thumb.
