Former FBI agenfs defense case begins
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Before former
FBI agent Richard W. Miller was
fired and charged with spying, he
asked a private detective to photo
graph his meetings with Russians for
eventual delivery to the FBI, the de
tective testified Tuesday.
Hoping to prove that the first FBI
agent charged with espionage was
trying to catch Soviet spies, not be
come one, the defense launched its
case by calling Lawrence Grayson, a
private investigator who reluctantly
disclosed details of his meeting with
Miller.
Several times, Grayson said he
couldn’t remember details and only
volunteered them after defense at
torney Stanley Greenberg showed
him transcripts of his previous ac
counts to the FBI.
Grayson said Miller met him on
Aug. 15, 1984, and asked if he had
sopnisticated photographic equip
ment.
He said Miller proposed that
Grayson take pictures of Miller with
“inuividuals of Russian nationality”
at a meeting in Mexico tentatively
scheduled for that October.
“I asked basically why wasn’t he
having his own people take pic
tures,” said Grayson. “He said be
cause his credibility was shot, and by
using me he’d get back his credibility
with the bureau.”
Miller, 48, who had been assigned
to counterintelligence, was arrested
Oct. 2 and charged with conspiring
to pass secrets to the Soviets for
$65,000 in cash and gold. If con
victed, he could receive a life sen
tence.
His attorneys maintain he had
sought to redeem his faltering ca
reer by infiltrating the Soviet spy
network, and hoped that Grayson’s
photos would help him do so.
Greenberg asked if Miller indi
cated what he would do with the pic
tures.
“He didn’t really discuss what he
was going to do with them,” Grayson
said. “He said he wanted to have his
people believe him about what he
was going to do.”
Earlier Tuesday, Assistant U.S.
Attorney Russell Hayman read ju
rors descriptions of 51 classified doc
uments found in Miller’s desk at the
FBI’s Los Angeles office - after his ar
rest.
They included memoranda deal
ing with Soviet foreign counterintel
ligence, the handling of “assets” or
informants, and the role of double
agents in the FBI foreign counterin
telligence program.
Greenberg then read a list of clas
sified documents found in Miller’s
apartment, which included an FBI
telex regarding codefendant Svet
lana Ogorodnikov and her previous
role as informant to the FBI office in
Los Angeles.
He acknowledged that also in
Miller’s apartment was a copy of a
document entitled “Reporting
Guidance: Foreign Intelligence In
formation,” part of which referred
to Soviet Union intelligence. The
government alleges Miller gave that
document to Ogorodnikov.
Grayson’s testimony came after
U.S. District Judge David Kenyon
rejected a defense motion to throw
the case out. /
Escapees
caught after
three days
Associated Press
SPRING CREEK, N.C. — Two
Arkansas jail escapees charged with
killing a state trooper were captured
Tuesday by authorities who had
used bloodhounds and helicopters
to search wooded mountains for
three days.
“We have two suspects in custody
shortly before 4 p.m.... in the Char
lotte’s Branch area,” said state High
way Patrol Sgt. George Dowdle.
The capture came the same day a
woman reported a break-in at her
isolated house and troopers spotted
the pair fleeing a suspected camp
site.
“We woke ’em up this morning”
about 8 a.m., Trooper R.E. Gant
said. “They left everything . . . We
saw ’em going down the other side of
the mountain. We’ve been on ’em all
day.”
Authorities said a .30-06-caliber
rifle, ammunition, food and a blan
ket stolen from Rachel Gillespie’s
house were found at the site, 300
yards from her house in a Blue
Ridge Mountain hollow.
Four helicopters carrying officers
ready to rappel to the ground had
scoured tne wooded Madison
County ridges.
Jimmy Rios, 23, of Branch, Ark.,
and William Bray, 21, a drifter who
uses several addresses, including
Lexington, N.C., were among five
prisoners who broke out of the
Franklin County, Ark., jail in late
August.
They were believed armed with a _
.22-caliber rifle and the slain troop
er’s .357-caliber Magnum pistol.
The fugitives were charged Mon
day with murder in the shooting
death of rookie Trooper Robert Lee
Coggins, 27, of Bryson City, who was
shot twice in the head Saturday after
he stopped a pickup truck reported
stolen in Arkansas.

Police used to quell
efforts to open schools
Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG, South Af
rica — Police moved in with tear
gas and rubber bullets Tuesday to
put down efforts by thousands of
mixed-race students and their
teachers to open schools closed by
the government near Cape
Town.
Witnesses said scores of arrests
were made as crowds massed out
side locked-up schools. They said
that at times crowds outside
locked schoolyard gates refused
to move to let police patrols out of
the yards.
The demonstrators com
plained that closing the institu
tions hurt students who hadn’t ri
oted.
The white-minority govern
ment contends the schools pro
vided meeting grounds for riot
ers.
Near Johannesburg and Preto
ria, authorities for 19 months
have been trying to force black
youngsters to attend school.
Students there began boycot
ting classes in early 1984, com
plaining about inferior educa
tion. Now they are staying away
to protest the presence of the
army and police in black town
ships, and the state of emergency
that imprisoned hundreds of stu
dents without charge.
In other developments:
• Black students boycotted
classes near Johannesburg and
Pretoria.
• On the second day of its in
vasion of Angola, the South Afri
can military offered no news
about the fighting. A spokesman
blamed bad communications.
• Louis le Grange, minister of
law and order, was quoted by a
pro-government newspaper, The
Citizen, as saying “there is a defi
nite decline in the number of inci
dents of unrest in the country.”
The paper suggested authori
ties might soon lift the 8-week-old
state of emergency, imposed in
an attempt to quell rioting against
apartheid, South Africa’s system
of enforced racial segregation.
President P.W. Botha says se
curity forces are needed in the
townships to quell intimidation by
radicals, rioting and general law
lessness.
Le Grange reported last week
that 660 people had been killed in
rioting that began 13 months ago,
two-thirds of them shot by police
and the rest killed in black-on-
black clashes. He said 11 police
were among the dead.
The private South African In
stitute of Race Relations, which
has its own casualty list compiled
from police and newspaper re
ports, says more than 700 have
died.
The country’s military kept
quiet the day after it opened an
air and ground assault into south
ern Angola, where the govern
ment says it is chasing guerrillas
fighting for the independence of
South-West Africa, also called
Namibia.
A military spokesman in Preto
ria characterized the fighting as
“small groups of troops following
tracks, ,v and said communications
with men in the field were poor.
Correspondents are barred
from the area.
The military’s top commander,
Gen. Constand Viljoen, said in
announcing the invasion Monday
that it was intended to derail a
P lanned artillery offensive by the
outh-West Africa People’s Orga
nization.
SWAPO, which has its military
ower base in southern Angola,
as fought a guerrilla war for 19
years against South Africa’s ad
ministration of Namibia.
