Gutsy girl hostage
helps nab gunman
United Press International
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. — A
“gutsy” young woman hostage
helped disarm a junior college
student ending his wild, 125-
mile flight from the classroom
where he had shot and killed his
teacher and another student.
Kelvin Ray Love, a datap-
rocessing student reportedly
having trouble with his studies at
Garland Community College,
was arrested Monday at a police
roadblock where he crashed his
hostage’s car.
The hostage, classmate Car
rie Loy, 18, escaped unharmed
and Love, 26, was charged with
murder and kidnapping.
“A terrible, terrible thing,”
said Gerald Fisher, president of
the college. “These two men
who were killed were fine peo
ple. We think the student was
shot accidentally. We really just
don’t know much.”
William “Buddy” Putman,
38, head of the dataprocessing
department at the two-year col
lege, and Donald Schamp, 34, of
Hot Springs, a business adminis
tration major, were both shot in
the head.
A witness told authorities
Love was waiting in line to work
at a computer terminal when
Putman asked to speak to him
about his grades. Putman
started walking toward his
office, Love pulled a .357-
magnum revolver and “all of a
sudden there was a shot,” said a
spokesman for the Garland
County Sheriff’s Office.
“Putman ran for his office,”
the spokesman said. “Love fol
lowed him to the doorway and
fired two more times. Putman
dived underneath his desk and
the witnesses said they began
leaving the room. They said
there were two or three more
shots.”
Witness Mike Estright, 25,
said Schamp had just offered to
let Love use his computer ter
minal when the firing began.
Estright said he saw two more
flashes, then saw Love put his
arm around Loy’s shoulder and
hold a gun to her ribs.
Love, who also was armed
with a knife, fled with Loy in her
car, and police statewide were
notified.
Mena Police Chief Don Allen,
100 miles west of Hot Springs,
spotted the car driving at speeds
up to 75 miles mph and Love
was chased to a roadblock at
Hatton, 25 miles to the south.
Love smashed through the
roadblock and tried to continue,
but “he’d blown the engine and
the left front tire was completely
off the rim,” Allen said.
The car finally rolled to a
stop, straddling the center line
of the highway.
Polk County Sheriff A1 Had-
away spoke to Love through a
loudspeaker and persuaded him
to give up his gun. Loy — a “gut
sy young lady,” Allen said —
Man wins
suit over
broken toe
United Press International
ST. LOUIS — A former truck
driver who says pain from a
broken toe caused him to shoot
his doctor has been awarded
$150,000 in a damage suit
against an electrical equipment
company.
There Mueller’s suit said he
was driving for a freight com
pany on March 7, 1975, when he
was sent to pick up rolls of wire
from Eastern Electric Sales Co.
Mueller, 62, broke a toe when a
blade fell off a forklift and hit his
foot.
Mueller said Eastern Electric
was negligent and testified at his
trial last month that his toe con
tinued to hurt even though he
was treated by Dr. Dominic Cos
ta and several other doctors.
In 1977, Mueller waited on a
parking lot outside Costa’s office
and shot him in the leg with a
shotgun.
Mueller testified he shot Cos
ta to make him understand the
pain he felt.
A St. Louis Circuit Court jury
awarded Mueller $50,000 in
actual damages and $75,000 in
punitive damages. The jury also
awarded $25,000 in damages to
his wife, Katherine.
Mueller had pleaded guilty to
assault in the Costa shooting and
was placed on probation in 1978
by Circuit Judge Michael J.
Hart.
A lawyer for Eastern Electric
said the company was seeking a
new trial in the damage case.
somehow got Love’s knife and
tossed it out the window of the
car.
Love, who moved from Little
Rock to Hot Springs several
years ago, was a full-time data
processing student, college
spokesman Larry Bracken said.
Putman, a father of two, pre
viously had worked for the city
of Hot Springs and a construc
tion company. He began
teaching at Garland County Col
lege two years ago.
Raises don’t keep workers
United Press International
NEW YORK — Eight of 10
people who are thinking of
leaving a job — and then stay
because the company gives
them an immediate raise —
leave the job within six
months anyway, according to
a leading middle-
management recruiting firm.
The most important
reason they leave, says Robert
Kushell, president of the
Dunhill Personnel System, is
that unhappy employees
often don’t have money on
their mind in the first place.
They are discontented for
other reasons, such as lack of
recognition, little responsibil
ity or infrequent advance
ment.
The quick raise given when
the employee talks about leav
ing is flattering at first,
Kushell says, and masks other
unhappiness for a while but
the reasons for that unhappi
ness usually emerge again in a
short time.
Often, too, Kushell says,
the boss making the offer re
gards the employee’s con
sideration of leaving as dis
loyalty and despite the raise,
the employee may be later
passed over for promotion or
even fired.
Even worse, he said, many
employees in that position
don’t realize the boss offering
the raise is usually just buying
time. Fhe boss willoftenlfi
looking immediatelyfoni
placement. Thenthti]
ployee is really stuck
lost the job he had, anda
one he was offered else*™
has been filled in theitt|
time.
Under-the-gun rai®a
bad solutions for the al
pany, too, Kushell said.i|
