Freed after eight years,
man forgives his accuser
United Press International
MILWAUKEE — Francis Hemauer is a free
man today, and says he wants to forgive the mis
take that sent him to prison eight years ago for a
rape he did not commit.
“I am overwhelmed at just being turned free. I
can’t find the words to say much more,” he said.
A circuit court judge said Wednesday he was
convinced because of recently developed tests
that Hemauer did not rape and assault an 18-year-
old woman in 1969. The tests showed the attacker
had type B blood. Hemauer’s is type A.
Hemauer, 60, put his head down and sobbed
for several moments after the judge announced
his verdict. Relatives, friends and others wept
and applauded.
Mabel Cooper, Hemauer’s sister who never
quit fighting for her brother’s freedom, invited
him to live with her until he decides how to
resume his life. He accepted, on one condition.
“What have you got in the refrigerator?” said
the twice-divorced father of four. “I’d like a
steak.”
Hemauer said he held no grudges for spending
eight years in the Waupun State Prison.
“This is not an attempt to put any blame on
anyone,” he said. “It was a good-faith mistake by a
young person (the victim).
“I was a little worried at times, but my family
was beautiful. They stood behind me all the way. ”
Hemauer was sentenced to 60 years in prison
on the basis of a photograph. He earlier had been
a suspect in the rape-murder of a Milwaukee girl,
but was not held. His photograph, however, was
kept in police files and the rape victim identified
Hemauer as her attacker.
His pleas of innocence and a negative poly
graph test proved futile.
“This has been a personal hell for this man and
his family, ” said a former pardon attorney for the
governor’s office who was instrumental in the
case.
Hemauer’s plans weren’t definite, but he knew
one thing he wanted to do.
“I would like to take a long walk in the woods
and touch the trees.”
Latest Atlanta killing victim
seen in car, driver described
al
Dial-it calls are no joke,
cost taxpayers thousands
United Press International
ATLANTA — A friend who saw
Atlanta’s latest missing black
youth riding in an old green sta
tion wagon on the day he vanished
says he felt something was wrong
because the man “was sitting so
stiff and didn’t wave at me.”
Larry Rogers, 21, and mentally
retarded, looks much younger.
This week he became the 25th vic
tim in the city’s string of missing
and murdered young people.
Twenty-two of those young blacks
have been found dead, the others
are missing.
The witness told police he was
outside his northwest Atlanta
home March 30 when he heard a
car door slam and turned to see
Rogers sitting in the station wagon
with another black man.
“He didn’t move or nothing,”
the witness said. “He didn’t talk.”
The witness, a neighbor and
friend of Rogers, told police the
vehicle drove up and down the
street twice before leaving the
vicinity. He said he was con
cerned “because he (Rogers) was
sitting so stiff and didn’t wave at
me.”
A composite drawing of the
light-skinned black man, who was
said to be about 50 to 55 years old,
and a partial tag number with the
first letter R and the first digit 5,
were termed “important” de
velopments by police.
The drawing depicts a man with
long, graying black hair, a thick
mustache, heavy eyebrows and
hom-rimmed glasses.
“We do not give out a lot of
composites,” Public Safety Com
missioner Lee P. Brown said dur
ing a news conference. “We have
some confidence in the validity of
what we’ve put out here.”
Brown stopped short of saying
the development was the best
break in the overall investigation.
But he said “in the one case (that of
Rogers) it’s the best break we have
had so far.”
He said, however, the man in
the composite is not a suspect but
is only wanted for questioning.
Brown denied reports some of
the murdered children had been
seen at an abandoned house fre
quented by homosexual men.
“There’s no evidence these crimes
are related to homosexual activ
ity,” he said, adding, “when you
do not have the exact motive, you
look at all possibilities.”
Until recent weeks all the vic
tims have been under 16, but then
the body of Eddie Duncan, 21,
who like Rogers was mentally re
tarded, was pulled from the Chat
tahoochee River.
Police and reporters rushed
again to the Chattahoochee River
north of Atlanta late Wednesday
after a trout fisherman wading in
shallow water spotted a bone on
the river bottom.
Gwinnett County police Lt.
L.F. McKelvey said later, howev
er, a medical examiner had deter
mined the bone to be “of animal
orgm.
In
a related development
Wednesday, the Rev. Earl Car-
roll, 46, who has been involved in
fund-raising in connection with
the children’s cases, was arrested
on multiple charges, including
writing bad checks, theft by con
version, unauthorized use of a
name without written consent and
soliciting without a permit.
Detective S.D. Benton said
Carroll was collecting money for
the children’s fund by telling pas
sers-by he was assistant pastor of
the Wheat Street Baptist Church,
and by soliciting money from va
rious businesses.
“I don’t have any idea what hap
pened to the money he collected, ”
said detective Sgt. J.F. Paschall.
Carroll has complained in the
past of police harassment and filed
a $1 million suit against Mayor
Maynard Jackson and police offi
cials in connection with the ac
cusation.

NEW YORK — Government

tkr such dial-it telephone ser-
ices are a laughing matter.
They say government workers
re spending hundreds of
busands of dollars in taxpayer

stall special screening devices to
prevent workers from reaching
dial-it numbers — now available in
at least 11 major metropolitan
areas. But their efforts in the city
are being slowed by a price dispute
over installation costs with the
New York Telephone Co.
“There is no nationwide esti
mate how much is being spent on
dial-it calls from federal offices,”
said Jim Edwards, a telecommuni
cations expert for the General Ser
vices Administration, which hand
les supplies of federal offices. “But
it’s big money and Dial-a-Joke is no
laughing matter to us. Businesses
also have this problem.”
The GSA says an estimated
$36,000 a year is spent on unautho
rized dial-it calls from federal
offices in New York, where each
call costs between 3 and 9 cents,
depending on the time of day.
Screening devices were placed
on exchanges for Chicago-area fed
eral phones and the GSA says an
estimated $157,000 annually in
dial-it calls were blocked.
The GSA says under New York
state rules the phone company is
limited to charging initially about
$5,000 to install screening devices
on its main New York exchange for
federal phones. But the phone
company questions the figure and
says an additional $100,000 should
be charged. The dispute is pending
before the state Public Service
Commission.

But Baxter said the govern

“I do not intend at this time to

the other hand, I fully recognize

“It is not at all clear to me that
the concerns of the Defense De

Baxter’s comments came a day
after it was disclosed Defense Sec
retary Caspar Weinberger asked
Attorney General William French
Smith to dismiss the case because
of the need for a unified communi
cations network.
The government began its anti
trust case against AT&T in January
in U. S. District Court in Washing
ton in an effort to break up the
massive Bell system on grounds
that it has engaged in a “classic
case of monopolization. ’’
The case was recessed in Janu

ment and company lawyers were
near a settlement. But the trial
resumed in March after the nego
tiations bogged down.

BELLWOOD, Neb. — Au
thorities Thursday finished drain
ing 29,000 gallons of propane from
two storage tanks endangered by a
crippled, tilting grain elevator.
Bellwood’s 360 residents, who
were evacuated Wednesday after
noon, were told they could return
to their homes.
Officials completed drainage of
the tanks, sitting in the path of the
crumbling elevator riddled with
holes after a Tuesday explosion.
Pete Stumer, chief investigator
for the state fire marshal’s office,
said he had feared the elevator
might topple onto the storage
tanks.
The elevator had shifted 3 to 4
feet since the explosion, which kil
led one man and critically injured
two others. Stumer said the shift
ing seemed to have stopped late
Wednesday after the wind died
down.
Killed in the explosion Tuesday
was Gary Roh, 20, of Linwood,
whose body was retrieved from
beneath tons of corn and nibble
about 5.5 hours after the blast.
Joe Stastny, 58, a Bellwood far
mer, and elevator employee Larry
Navrkal, 28, of Bellwood were in
critical condition at St. Elizabeth’s
Community Health Center in
Lincoln.
John Navrkal of Bellwood, an
elevator supervisor and the father
of Larry, also was injured but not
hospitalized.
State Fire Marshal Wally Bar
nett said Wednesday the cause
might never be determined “be
cause it went from one end to the
other, blew out the top and even
blew out some of the bins.”

Normandy I when Richard Nixon’s abrasive White House aide Chuck Colson
•y of D-Day j declared himself a born-again Christian in the midst of the Watergate
mess, there was much skepticism. Colson served seven months in jail,
then went on to found Prison Fellowship, a Christian ministry to
inmates.
• Colson has visited 120 prisons in the United States and abroad.
More than 9,000 inmates have graduated from Prison Fellowship
programs. Now Colson is off on a 21-day trip to 22 cities — including a
visit to death row at Nebraska State Penitentiary on Easter Sunday.
Colson claims he has an answer to the nation’s crime problem,
noting that of 300 graduates from his two-week Washington, D.C.,
seminar for inmates, less than 5 percent went back to prison on new
convictions. “I know it works,” said Colson, who wants foundation
money for a study of his program.
