Exxon executive's kidnapper pleads guilty
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TRENTON, NJ. — A former Exxon security offi
cial pleaded guilty Tuesday to federal charges in the
kidnapping death of company executive Sidney J.
Reso, saying he never meant to kill Reso and that he
died in his arms.
Arthur D. Seale said he accidentally shot Reso af
ter abducting him in an attempt to extort $18 million
from Exxon .Corp.
h,e said Reko, president of Exxon International,
died four days after the April 29 kidnapping. Seale
admitted he tried m extort the money even after
Reso's death.
Seale and his wife, Irene, both 45 and of Lebanon
Township, were arrested June 19 and charged with
abducting Reso from his Morris Township home.
Mrs. Seale pleaded guilty to federal extortion charges
and had been expected to testify against her husband
at his federal trial.
Seale, who on Tuesday spoke freely about the kid
napping, said he found Reso near death the Sunday
after the abduction in a box in a self-storage locker
where they had taken him.
"He actually died in my arms that afternoon. Wb
attempted to revive him but had no success," Seale
said.
Reso's widow', Patricia, sat in the front row' of the
courtroom listening as Seale described her husband's
abduction and death. Afterwards she appeared at a
news conference with federal and state prosecutors.
"It's been a dreadful experience, but through it all
truth has prevailed," Mrs. Reso said.
During a hearing, U.S. District Judge Garrett E.
Brown questioned Seale on all seven counts of the
federal indictment against him, confirming that Seale
committed the acts, understood they were wrong
and intended to commit them.
Builders, entrepreneurs
thrive in disaster economy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PERRINE, Fla. — Welcome to
Boomtown, Les Gory proprietor.
Like a magician pulling a rabbit
from a hat, the building supplier
reaches under his counter and
produces a 50-pound box of 2-
inch tin circles used in nailing
down roofing felt. That brought a
smile to Ted Thornes' face.
But Gory turns down the
roofer's request for two boxes. A
few minutes later he laughs w'hen
another desperate contractor asks
for as much as he can spare.
"This is gold," Gory says, toss
ing one of the wafer-light caps es
sential in fixing roofs on the more
than 100,000 homes damaged by
Hurricane Andrew. "This is the
hardest item to find at this time."
TWYLA
Tin caps. Plywood. Ice. Gas
cans. Child care. Kennels. Pool
cleaners. Amid the overwhelming
rubble, the nation's most destruc
tive hurricane has created a tem
porary economic boom typical af
ter disasters natural or manmade.
Along a 20-mile stretch of U.S.
1, from Miami neighborhoods
scarred only by toppled palm
trees to the wiped-out towns of
Homestead and Florida City,
hand-painted signs offer jobs or
promise services. "Discount Auto
Parts - NOW HIRING!!!"
"GLASS FOR SALE - All
Kinds." "Trailers $475 to $900."
Entrepreneurs swearing hon
esty peddle nails and generators
from the backs of U-Hauls. Robert
Mulvaney cleared some shelves of
stock, packed a trailer and drove
from Tallahassee to sell chain
saws in a parking lot amid
downed power lines. "It's prof
itable, even selling below list," he
said.
State officials report rampant
price-gouging and supply short
ages.
