for the 12 months mainly because of decreased sales to industrial customers and rural cooperative customers. In addition, $10.5 million in fuel cost recovery was denied by the Public Service Commission of Indiana — $5.8 million in September 1984 and $4.7 million in December 1984. The utility’s financial statements continue to be qualified by its auditors, Arthur Andersen & Co., as they have been since June 30, 1981, due to the cancellation of the Bailly Nuclear One generating unit in August 1981. On September 28, 1982, the Public Service Commission of Indiana entered an order authorizing NIPSCO’s amortization and recovery of the cancelled Bailly Nuclear One investment. That order is subject to the appeal process, and was appealed by certain intervenors to the Court of appeals of Indiana during 1982.

still investigating the incident. There are several conflicting reports and they have received several different versions.

He stated he heard two gunshots outside and he believed they came from the van, that’s when he fired. Three shell cases have been identified from Booher’s Marlin shotgun. There has been no evidence of other gunfire. Police also have stated that another theory is Booher ordered the group to leave his home and when they got into the van, Booher shot at the van because they didn’t leave immediately. According to witnessnes Booher was in a rage when the couples arrived. One witness told police that Booher had a complete personality change from earlier in the evening, growing extremely angry. After discussing the case with police, Prosecutor Miner reached a* decision on Monday about charging Booher with attempted murder. Booher was originally charged with criminal recklessnes, a Class C felony, and that charge will remain. An automatic innocent plea on Booher’s behalf was entered by

On December 27, 1984, the Court of Appeals of Indiana, in a two to one decision, reversed the Commission’s order, finding that Indiana law does not allow for the ordered amortization. The Company believes the Court’s decision is contrary to the facts and Indiana law, and petitioned the Court of Appeal for rehearing. The Court of Appeals denied rehearing on February 7,1985. The petition for transfer to,the Supreme Court of Indiana was made on February 27,1985, which petition is pending. The Company believes the Indiana commission order should ultimately be upheld, but cannot predict the final outcome of the appeal. Pending resolution of the appeal process, it is uncertain what part of the Company’s investment in this project would be recoverable through the ratemaking process.

The attempted murder charge is a Class A felony which carries a fixed term of up to 30 years. Another 20 years can be added for aggravating circumstances and 10 years can be subtracted for mitigating circumstances if Booher is found guilty. Sentencing could be from' 1 ’ 20-50 years. Bond has been set at $50,000 and attorneys have until July 8 for filing certain motions. J. W. Daggett from North Manchester has been hired as Booher’s attorney.
