United Press International
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — For
mer Vice President Spiro
Agnew won’t be in court to face
a civil suit against him, but trial
proceedings may shed new light
on a kickback scandal that
J prompted his resignation in
went in
tte, ’ and it
best thing
Lssifie
The suit, filed by three
Montgomery County tax
payers, seeks to have Agnew re
pay $200,000 in kickbacks he
| allegedly received when he was
governor of Maryland. The
| trial, scheduled to begin today,
caps five years of delays.
“The public interest de-
; mands the money be returned, ”
Bill Doboveir, an attorney for
the taxpayers, said Monday.
“My clients will not get a penny
out of it.”
The civil suit in Anne Arun
del County Circuit Court is
based on statements made by
several of Agnew s associates to
federal prosecutors during the
investigation that led to his
downfall.
Sources in the Maryland
attorney general’s office said
Monday former State Roads
Commission Chairman Jerome
Wolff, a co-defendant in the
case, has agreed to testify for
the state. Wolff was among
those who originally detailed a
series of payoffs involving road
contracts while Agnew was gov
ernor and vice president.
Doboveir said a private high
way engineer, whom he de
clined to identify, would be a
primary witness for the tax
payers.
“He’s an engineer who re
fused to pay the kickbacks,” he
said. “That’s all I’m going to tell
you right now.”
The three taxpayers, John
McMillan, Reina Chassy and
Suzanne Saul, filed the suit as
part of a law-school project.
Doboveir said Stewart Mott,
a General Motors heir and
noted liberal activist, was
paying the legal costs for the
trio.
Agnew’s attorney, T. Rogers
Harrison, has been ordered by
the court to supply the tax set
tlement Agnew made after
pleading no contest to federal
income tax evasion charges and
resigning as vice president.
The information, which in
cludes Agnew’s income tax re
turns from 1966 to 1972, has
never been made public.
Harrison declined to be in
terviewed about the case, but
Doboveir said he had already
agreed to supply most of the in
formation sought by the court.
In the settlement that kept
him out of prison, Agnew
admitted on Oct. 10, 1973 that
he failed to report $129,500 in
income in 1967. He also said he
received $87,500 plus other
“substantial cash payments” in
kickbacks and bribes from con
tractors doing business with the
state of Maryland.
Agnew, 62, is now an inde
pendent businessman and lives
in Palm Springs, Calif.

Vietnamese fishermen
want FBI protection
United Press International
HOUSTON — A lawyer for
Vietnamese fishermen said Tues
day he would ask FBI Director
William Webster to protect the
refugees from Ku Klux Klan
threats intended to drive them out
of business before shrimping sea
son starts May 15.
Meanwhile, Klansmen and na
tive Texan fishermen held a news
conference in Seabrook on Gal
veston Bay to deny violent intent.
They accused the refugees of
Communist infiltration and cri
minal acts threatening the Amer
icans’ livelihood.
Attorney David H. Berg said in
a letter to Washington that the
Vietnamese were being harassed
by the Klan and native fishermen
who resent the refugees’ vigorous
competition in fishing Galveston
Bay.
“We are appealing to your
agency to provide protection to
the Vietnamese fishermen and
their families and to step up your
investigation of the case between
now and May 15, when shrimping
season opens,” Berg’s letter said.
“We feel your efforts may pre
vent physical harm to members of
the Vietnamese community.
“They are being run out for no
other reason than the fact that
they have pursued and achieved
the American dream of personal
success in business and family,”
Berg’s letter said.

Berg, attorney Morris Dees of
the Southern Poverty Law Center
in Montgomery, Ala., and attor
ney John Hayslip of Texas City
filed a federal court suit last Thurs
day on behalf of Vietnamese
fishermen seeking court protec
tion.
The Klan and a group of native
Texas fishermen held a cross
burning rally on Feb. 14 in Santa
Fe, Texas, which threatened to
drive the Vietnamese out by force
if the government failed to reduce
alleged overcrowding in coastal
fishing.
The suit charged that oppo
nents of the Vietnamese burned
crosses near their homes, paraded
a boat loaded with robed and
armed Klansmen, threatened to
kill the refugees if they did not
leave and harassed Americans
friendly to the refugees.
The lawsuit asked U.S. District
Judge Gabrielle K. McDonald to
issue an injunction forbidding the
harassment, which the lawyers
charged violates civil rights, anti
racketeering and — in a novel
twist — antitrust laws.
At the Seabrook news confer
ence, Klan titan James Stanfield
and fisherman David Collins said
they would hold another anti-
Vietnamese rally at Santa Fe on
May 9.
They denied violent intent, but
Stanfield charged Communists
had infiltrated into the United
States among the Vietnamese re
fugees and said the Klan would
defend itself by force if necessary.
“We know North Vietnamese
Communists have infiltrated
these refugees just as (Cuban Pre
mier Fidel) Castro mixed Com
munist spies in with the Cuban
immigrants to agitate and dispute
our country,” Stanfield said.
“If these North Vietnamese
Communists try unlawful acts
against us, we will be ready to de
fend ourselves.”
Collins, a spokeman for the
Seabrook-Kemah Fishermen’s
Asssociation, said: “We welcome
this lawsuit, because it will pro
vide the opportunity for the
American public to know and
understand the problems imposed
upon American citizens by the re
location of large numbers of Viet
namese in the Kemah-Seabrook
area.
“We have evidence of criminal
acts committed by the Vietnamese
against the American citizens in an
attepapt ^o intiipidate, harass and
obstruct us from fishing in Galves
ton Bay.”
Collins refused to elaborate,
but association president Gene
Fisher said a Vietnamese man had
said he would kill 10 Americans if
one Vietnamese boat was burned.
The Klan and the American
fishermen opposed to the Viet
namese said they have hired attor
neys Sam Adamo and Richard
Cobb of Houston to represent
them in the lawsuit.
25th death
is ruled
asphyxiation
United Press International
ATLANTA — A 23-year-old
black man who may have been the
25th victim of Atlanta’s child kil
lers died of asphyxiation, a medic
al examiner ruled Tuesday.
The body of Michael Cameron
McIntosh was pulled from the
Chattahoochee River Monday,
the second body to be recovered
from the river in as many days. Six
other victims have been found in
rivers.
Authorities have not yet official
ly added McIntosh’s name to the
list of Atlanta’s murdered or mis
sing young blacks, but they said
there was a “great possibility” he
was the victim of the same slayers. *
“We are going to classify this as
asphyxia due to some sort of suffo
cation,” assistant Fulton County
Medical Examiner Dr. John
Feegel said Tuesday after examin
ing McIntosh’s body.
He said there was no evidence
of sexual abuse, despite the fact
McIntosh’s body was nude when it
was found.
At least a dozen of Atlanta’s
child victims have died from
asphyxiation.
Assistant Police Chief Louis
Graham said McIntosh — a 5-foot-
5, 100-potmd young man last seen
alive by his family three weeks ago
— had an arrest record stretching
from 1976 to 1980 that included
armed robbery, drunkenness,
theft by taking, criminal trespass
and one drug charge, possession of
marijuana.
