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- GRIFFIN CHRISTIAN AND MISSIONARY ALLIANCE SERVICES Presently conducted at 1319 D.

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. -Wav'W ~ ’» w ■ ~ ~ - — —— — ——— — ——— - Q Theme: “Calvary Shall Not Be In Vain!” I A. WORLD I .

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.
