Ten people discovered
murdered in New York
United Press International
NEW YORK — Ten people,
at least seven of them children,
were shot and killed Sunday in
a Brooklyn apartment, authori
ties said. A baby was discovered
crawling unharmed on the
floor.
The victims were four boys,
three girls and two adult
women. Police had not immedi
ately determined the age of the
sixth female victim, said Police
Inspector Robert Burke.
Police said they had no mo
tive in the killings, but that they
did not appear to be drug-re
lated.
The bodies were discovered
about 7:30 p.m. Sunday by Car
men Rossi, owner of Rossi
Bread Bakery located next door
to the two-family house in the
East New York section of
Brooklyn, Burke said.
Rossi told police a man ran
out of the downstairs apartment
screaming for help. When Rossi
went inside the house, he found
the bodies of the women and
children lying on couches in the
living room and kitchen, police
said. Each had been shot and
killed.
Rossi also found a baby
crawling on the floor un
harmed.
The child, said to be about
one or two years old, was taken
to Baptist Medical Center for
examination and then to the
75th police precinct, police said.
The victims were believed to
be Hispanic and apparently
were shot “sometime during the
day,” a police spokesman said.
All ten were dead when police
arrived on the scene.
The three-room railroad
apartment was on the ground
floor of the house located in a
predominantly Hispanic low-in
come neighborhood.

man J. kevin Murphy said, but
Jartran plans to have about 100
vehicles by July 15, ready for
the midsummer demands of the
Republican National Conven
tion.
“What we’re doing is buying
used cars at auction,” Murphy
said in a telephone interview.
“There will be a mix of Chrys
ler, Ford and CM products
ranging between two and five
years of age.”
Jartran’s car rental fees will
be relatively inexpensive, priced
at about $15 a day with unlim
ited mileage, he said. Jartran
also will rent pickups for about
$20 a day and Murphy thinks
they will be popular in the Dal-
las-Fort Worth market.
Murphy, 56, is familiar with
the Dallas area. He lived in the
city for six years where he estab-
lihed and ran CTS Services
Inc., a software firm. The ex
panding economy of Dallas was
one reason it was selected for
the start of Jartran’s car-rental
venture.
But another reason is that a
Jartran subsidiary, a trucking
firm, has a major maintenance
facility in Dallas. The car rental
outlet will be at at the truck
firm’s location on Irving Boule
vard in west Dallas.
“We’ll keep expanding. Our
major focus will be in the Sun
Belt. In three years we expect to
have about 100 locations,” he
said.
Jartran will seek a niche in
the non-airport market. A ma
jor effort will be to get business
through insurance adjustors,
who often must provide rental
cars for customers whose cars
are being repaired. Mi
said Jartran also will lain
dealers who must providq
mobiles to customerswhost
are being repaired under
rants agreements.
Jartran was founded 1
the late 1970s by Jim l|
who previously had sl{

JERUSALEM — Thousands
of Christians pilgrims, guarded
by an increased security force
following terrorist attacks in Is
rael, sang and waved palms
Sunday along the path that Je
sus took on his triumphant en
try into Jerusalem.
A police spokesman said se
curity was increased for 10 days
of religious observance that be
gan Sunday and include the
eight-day Jewish Passover and
the Western and Eastern Chris
tian Holy Weeks.
The 1,000-member Jerusa
lem police force was on in
creased duty assisted by an un
disclosed number of volunteers,
border police and soldiers in
thfe wake of recent terrorist at
tacks, the spokesman said.
Despite the security, the an
nual procession was larger and
more enthusiastic than the
usual 5,000 to 7,000 who make
the two-hour walk from Beth-
phage to St. Anne’s Church.
With dark clouds slacking up
in the west and heavy winds, the
crowd, singing hymns anti car
rying palm branches, left the
church at Bethphage, where the
Gospel says Jesus mounted a
colt for his ride into Jerusalem.
Sheep grazed just behind the
church.
The crowd walked slowly up
the eastern slope of the Mount
of Olives, past the Church of
the Ascension, down the west
ern slope past the Garden of
Gethsemane where Jesus
prayed in agony until arrested
only four days after his entry
into Jerusalem.
The marchers then wound
through the Kidron Valley, into
St. Stephen’s gate and ended at
St. Anne’s.

press what I so deeply feel?”
