Sisente and the former Klansman,

LOS ANGELES — Police across the nation worked
with composite drawings Tuesday to hunt for two men
sought in the shotgun slayings of three people in a
restaurant meat locker.
Security was beefed up Monday at severd Bob’s Big
Boy restaurants and the chain offered a $10,000 reward
for information leading to the arrest of the two men who
herded 11 people into a wdk-in refrigerator and opened
fire Sunday morning, killing three.
Of the six people wounded, one restaurant employee
remained in criticd condition Tuesday.
Police Lt. Glenn Ackerman Monday released compo
site drawings of the two killers — both men in their 20s
— and the police department issued a nationwide drag
net for them.
Officids of the restaurant chain, a division of Marriott,
sdd they had increased security at severd locations but
they did not detdl what precautions were being taken.
Police Chief Daryl Gates Monday released an account
of the crime:
At 2:05 a. m. Sunday, two men entered the restaurant,
each armed with a sawed-off shotgun, and announced
they were robbing the place.
Eleven people — nine employees and two customers
— were still inside the restaurant. They were herded at
gunpoint into a rear utility room and robbed of vdu-
ables.
A totd of $1,700 in the restaurant’s ddly receipts also
were taken.
The victims were then told to enter an 8-by-15-foot
wdk-in refrigerator and, without warning, the gunmen
opened fire with their shotguns. They fled through a
rear door. No getaway vehicles were seen.
Dead inside the refrigerator were David Burrell, 20, a
customer, and Dita Agtani, 23, a waitress. Ahmad
Mashuck, 20, another employee, died a few hours later
at a hospital.
A dishwasher, Cesario Luna, 45, was in criticd condi
tion. Also wounded but in stable condition were Tami
Rogoway, 17, a customer; Evelyn Jackson, 23, Diane
Irvin, 20, and Michael Mdloy, dl employees. Derwin
Logan, 19, another employee, was treated and released.

DULAC, La. — If a private
security guard had been a little
less observant, state police say
they might have arrested more
than one suspect in the seizure of
a shrimp boat laden with 30 tons
of marijuana.
Troopers were waiting Mon
day for the 85-foot Artista to come
into port and start unloading its
cargo when the security guard
noticed suspicious activity and
fired a warning shot.
“That pretty much burned our
surveillance team,’’ said state
police spokesman Ronald Jones.
“The guard didn’t have any idea it
was something bigger than a
small burglary going down.”
Jones said he could not fault
the guard for doing his job, but
the shot scared off anyone plan
ning to help unload the mari
juana.
The seizure Monday by sher
iff s deputies and state police was
the sixth major pot bust in South
Louisiana in less than two
months.
One man was arrested and sev
eral others were held for ques
tioning. Terrebonne Parish Sher
iff Ronnie Duplantis said more
arrests were possible.
Duplantis said some of those
questioned were Cubans, and
others were from Louisiana or
Florida.
Last week authorities reco
vered 40 tons of marijuana near
Shell Beach, La., from a 100-foot
coastal freighter. The string of
major drug busts started Oct. 29
near New Iberia with the seizure
of a barge carrying 78 tons of
marijuana—the largest haul ever
in the United States.
Officers seized the Artista and
its cargo of marijuana, as well as a
45-foot shrimp boat, a 10-wheel
truck and two pickup trucks. The
Artista’s home port was listed as
Galveston. Duplantis said none of
the marijuana had been unloaded
before the officers moved in.

NEW ORLEANS — The FBI’s
controversial Brilab tapes, made
with secret wiretaps and attacked by
defense attorneys as illegal, have be
come the center of another under
cover activity — burglary.
Defense attorney Arthur
Lemann, who represents Brilab co
defendant Vincent Marinello, said
copies of some tapes were stolen
from his office, but he stressed the
burglary did not appear to be con
nected to the investigation.
“I can’t believe it’s in any way
related to the case because I don’t
know who would want the tapes who
wouldn’t already have them, except
the press,” Lemann said Monday.
“Just a few” of the tapes chronicl
ing conversations among the defen
dants were taken in the Thanksgiv
ing weekend burglary, Lemann said.
He refused to be more specific.
Defense attorneys are reviewing
an estimated 30,000 tapes made
through wiretaps and bugs during
the year-long FBI investigation.
Copies of the tapes, an integral part
of the prosecution’s case, have been
provided to the defense attorneys to
help them prepare their case.
Reputed mob boss Carlos Marcel
lo, former Louisiana Administration
Commissioner Charles Roemer,
Marinello and two other men face
trial Feb. 2 on charges of racketeer
ing, fraud and conspiracy resulting
from the investigation.
Lemann reported the theft to
police and also advised federal Judge

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. — A
stray bullet apparently fired by a
boy, 13, shooting at garbage cans and
•irds, traveled about 220 feet, pas
sed through two doors and killed a
woman talking on the telephone,
lice said.
Detectives said Genevieve
teyes, 65, of Niagara Falls, was talk-
n h r to a relative Monday when an
gunshot, allegedly fired by
Ajj errant
the unidentfied boy a block away,
went through a storm door and a
wooden door, hitting the woman in
the neck.
After determining the direction
from which the bullet came, author
ities arrested the boy and said he
will be charged as an adult with
criminally negligent homicide.
Police said the boy was shooting at
garbage cans and birds from an attic
window with a .22-caliber gun.

“Over the Thanksgiving weekend,
my offices were burglarized and it
appears that copies of some of the
Brilab tapes were taken,” Lemann’s
letter read. “I feel that I should
