Flaps suspected
in crash of 747
COLOGNE, Germany (UPI)
— Lufthansa airline says the
wing flaps of its Boeing 747
which crashed Wednesday near
Nairobi apparently were not in
proper position on takeoff.
The crash killed 59 of the 157
passengers and crew, but 98
others scrambled to safety
before the $25 million jumbo jet
exploded in a ball of flames. It
was the first fatal crash of a
747, considered by many to be
the world’s safest airliner.
A Lufthansa spokesman said
Friday that “apparently not all
lifting devices necessary for the
take-off were in proper posi
tioning.”
He said that preliminary
investigations showed the lead-

ing edge of the wing flaps were
completely retracted into the
wings at the time of the crash.
“This would explain that the
plane could lift off the ground
after normal acceleration, but
was not completely capable to
become airborne because of too
little lift,” the spokesman said.
The spokesman said he had
no immediate explanation for
the flaps’ apparently improper
positioning.
“Such a positioning cannot be
caused by technical or servic

only by a combination of
unusual factors,” the spokes

CHICAGO—Some $2.2 million of the $4.3 million stolen
from the Purolator Express Co., was recovered by police
and the FBI. The money was found under a five-inch layer
of concrete in the basement of a home owned by the
grandmother of one of the suspects in the theft. With the
Bolton to help with case
MACON, Ga. (UPI) - With
Georgia Attorney General Ar
thur Bolton helping prepare the
prosecution of accused mass
murderer Paul John Knowles, a
federal judge will decide
Wednesday whether to hold the
defense lawyer in contempt of
court for refusing to release
Knowles taped “diary.”
Gpv. Jimmy Carter appointed
Bolton to help out in the
prosecution, which will begin
with a preliminary hearing in
Milledgeville Monday in the
murders of Carswell Carr and
his 15-year-old daughter, two of
perhaps a dozen persons
Knowles is accused of killing.
Henry County Sheriff Jimmy
Glass and Col. Herman Cofer,
the state public safety director,
will lead a search team with
metal detectors through, the
central Georgia pine woods
near McDonough today, looking
for the gun of a Florida state
trooper Knowles is suspected of
killing.
Investigators said Knowles
was thought to have the FHP
man’s pistol when he ran road
block and fled on foot into the
woods last Sunday, but he did
not have it when he was
captured. The gun is considered
a vital piece of evidence in the
state’s effort to prove that
Knowles abducted the officer
and another man, whose bodies
were found near Perry Thur
sday.
U.S. District Judge Wilbur
Owens refused Friday night to
dismiss subpoenas for the tape
recorded “voice diary” that
Perry was Sth trooper
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (UPI)
— Trooper Charles Campbell of
Perry was the eighth Florida
highway patrolman believed,
gunned down by a “wanted”
man since the crack unit was
organized in 1939—and the
fourth in the past two years.
“After every one of these, we
sit down and take it apart,”
i deputy director H. Lee Sim
> mons said in an interview
J following the discovery of
’ Campbell’s body near Macon,
■ Ga.
Authorities believe Campbell
was abducted and later shot to
death by Florida parolee Paul
Knowles, suspected of a half
dozen other murders.
“We take it to our patrol
school and pick it apart, but
basically, we have to follow our
same policy,” he said. “We
can’t come at every person we
stop on the highway with a
gun.”
Campbell had a report that a
man had kidnapped a woman,
stolen a car and headed toward
his bailiwick, Simmons said. He
had the description and tag
number of the car.
What Campbell did not know,
Simmons said, was that the
man had dumped the woman
unharmed and stolen another
tag for his getaway car.
He was probably confused
when he saw the car he was
looking for, but with a different
tag and only one occupant, he
said.
“If he had been sure he was
stopping a hoodlum, he would
have never let him get the drop
on him,” Simmons said of the
10-year patrol veteran.
The patrol has one clear
Stolen money recovered
Knowles gave attorney Sheldon
Yavitz of Miami, with instruc
tions to play the tapes only
after his death.
Yavitz said through his own
attorney, Ellis Rubin, that he
would forego $15,000 bail and
remain in jail as a protest
against the ruling by Owens
that the tapes can go to the
grand jury investigating the
bizarre series of murders in
which Knowles is suspected.
Yavitz contended that the
contents of the tape recordings
are privileged attorney-client
discussions, although he has not
heard the tapes himself be
cause of Knowles’ admonition
to play them only if he died.
After twice to release the tapes,
Yavitz agreed Friday to tell
U.S. Marshals where they were
stored—in a safe at his Miami
home—and the tapes were
brought to Owens.
The judge scheduled a
hearing for 9:30 a.m. Wednes
day to decide whether Yavitz
should be held in contempt of
court for resisting the two
subpoenas.
Prior to the . hearing, Rubin
had been optimistic that he
could quash the tapes, which
allegedly contain an account of
Knowles’ travels just prior to
the series of murders for which
he is under investigation.
In appointing Bolton to assist
in the prosecution, Carter
emphasized that he was not
naming a “special prosecutor”
for Knowles, but merely wanted
to coordinate prosecutions
among various judicial circuits
instruction for its troopers.
They are not to try to arrest a
man wanted for a crime alone.

District Attorney Joe Briley
will get the first chance at
prosecuting Knowles in the
commitment hearing Monday in
Milledgeville for the Carr
killings.
But beyond Briley’s jurisdic
tion, Knowles is the prime
suspect in the murder of
Florida Highway Patrol trooper
Charles E. Campbell, 35, of
Perry, Fla., and businessman
James E. Meyer, 29, of
Wilmington, Del. The two were
abducted in Florida last week
end and their bodies were found
near Perry, Ga., Thursday.
Knowles, 28, was ’arrested
Sunday after he crashed a
stolen car through a roadblock
at McDonough.
Police in Jacksonville Beach
and Atlantic Beach, Fla., are
preparing formal charges
against Knowles in the stran
gling of two elderly Florida
women. The charges o| killing
Mrs. Alice Curtis of Jackson
ville Beach and Mrs. Marjorie
Howie of Atlantic Beach are
expected to be filed early next
week.
Jacksonville police want him
in the robbery of a drug store
in that city.
The FBI has charged
Knowles with unlawful flight in
connection with the fatal
stabbing of a Miami business
man, Ben Sherrod, 43, whose
body was found in a motel
room in Brewton, Ala. Oct. 21.

He had testified to using
drugs, including marijuana, the
night that Miss Edenfield was
slain on a rural road. She had
been shot twice and her arms
were tied behind her.
Sprouse claimed that he woke
up two days after the murder,
thinking he had gone through a
bad dream. He said he could
not remember any details of
that period.
An 18-year-old companion of
the dead woman escaped,
although shot in the face, and
testified against Sprouse. She
was the victim of the assault by
shooting and attempted rape
for which Sprouse was convic
ted.
A second defendant in the
case is to be tried separately.
