Officials said the first indict
ments in the case are expected to
be issued by a federal grand jury
in Atlanta within several
months, but the investigation
has been slowed because of re
ported leaks by a former pro
secutor in the case, a reported
assassination plot against
another former prosecutor and
the murder of a witness in the
case.

MINNEAPOLIS — Eleven-
month-old Jamie Fiske, suffer
ing from a liver disease that
could have killed her before
Thanksgiving, got the new liver
her father pleaded for and a
chance to live a normal life.
A team of surgeons at the
University of Minnesota Hospit
als, beaded by Dr. John Naja-
rian, transplanted a liver from a
brain-dead Utah baby to Jamie
in a six-hour operation Friday.
Najarian said the procedure was
a success.
Without the transplant, he
said, it was doubtful the child
would have lived until Thank
sgiving Day.
Jamie’s parents, Charles and
Marilyn Fiske of Bridgewater,
Mass., were “absolutely delight
ed,” Najarian said.
Mrs. Fiske, in a tearful mes
sage to the parents of the donor
baby, said “1 just want to send
them love and thank them for
everything they gave to us. I
don’t know how to say it in
words.”
Last month in New York City,
Fiske had appealed to a conven
tion of doctors for help in find
ing a donor and Najarian said
the publicity led to finding one,
a 10-month-old Utah boy who
was hurt in a traffic accident and
declared brain-dead.

Jamie was in intensive care in
the pediatric ward after the
operation, with her parents at
her side. She still was on a respir

Najarian said there will be a
two-week “critical period” in
which the baby will be closely
monitored.
