Judge rules Clinton in contempt of co
fhe Batta
CLINTON
LITTLE ROCK,
Ark. (AP) — A
federal judge
ruled President
Clinton in con
tempt of court
Monday for giving
“intentionally
false” testimony
about his relation
ship with Monica Lewinsky during
questioning in the Paula Jones sex
ual harassment case.
The judge’s finding, a civil rather
than criminal ruling, orders Clinton
to pay Jones “any reasonable ex
penses including attorneys’ fees
caused by his willful failure to obey
this court’s discovery orders.”
U.S. District Judge Susan Web
ber Wright said she would delay en
forcement for 30 days to give Clin
ton an opportunity to ask for a
hearing or file a notice of appeal.
The ruling stemmed from Clin
ton’s sworn statement in the Jones
case that he didn’t have a sexual re
lationship with the former White
House intern.
Wright said in her ruling, “The
record demonstrates by clear and
convincing evidence that the presi
dent responded to plaintiffs’ ques
tions by giving false, misleading
and evasive answers that were de
signed to obstruct the judicial
process.’
“The court takes no pleasure
whatsoever in holding this nation’s
president in contempt of court.”
Wright said Jones was entitled to
information regarding any state or
federal employee with whom the
president had or proposed to have
sexual relations.
In his deposition in the Jones
case, Clinton said: “I have never
had sexual relations with Monica
Lewinsky.”
After the president’s DNA was
found on a dress belonging to
Lewinsky, he acknowledged an “in
appropriate intimate relationship”
with her before a federal grand jury
last Aug. 17 — and again in a na
tionally televised address.
Clinton said the relationship did
not fall under the definition of “sex
ual relations” provided by Jones’
lawyers during his deposition, and
that his testimony was legally ac
curate.
Jim Kennedy, spokesman for the
White House counsel’s office, said
Monday there would be no com

Firefighters perform daring rescue Will ink for foo( Wome
ATLANTA (AP) — A con
struction worker was
trapped Monday on top of a
burning crane above a rag
ing fire at an old mill that
was being converted to
apartments.
Firefighters made a des
perate appeal for aircraft to
try to pluck him from his
perilous position. At least
one chopper tried to swoop
in, but flew away when the
flames got too close.
The man, who was not
identified, crawled to the end
of the crane’s horizontal arm
to get away from the black
smoke and flames rising from
the five-story red brick build
ing. He seemed calm and
alert as he lay on his belly, the
crane swaying in winds that
gusted above 20 mph.
Smoke and flame could
be seen at the center of the
crane, about 20 feet from
where he was.
Firefighters said they had
no way of getting someone
above him to rappel down
and grab him.
“We have the (rap
pelling) equipment, we just
need a helicopter to lift the
guy off the crane,” said Fire
Department spokesperson
Connie Smith.
There was no immediate
word on how the fire started
or what the man was doing
on the crane.
Firefighters aimed hoses
at the flames, but Smith said
they were more concerned
with rescuing the worker
than with putting the fire
out.

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia
(AP) — A new wave of
NATO attacks Monday tar
geted fuel depots and heavy
industry, and an allied hit
turned a Yugoslav passen
ger train into a heap of
burninjg wreckage, killing at
least nine people and injur
ing 16. NATO said the
bridge the train was cross
ing was the intended target.
Even as the alliance ex
pressed regret over loss of
civilian life, NATO foreign
ministers — meeting for the
first time since the nearly
three-week-long air cam
paign began — vowed to
press ahead, saying the
Kosovo crisis “represents a
fundamental challenge to
the values of democracy,
human rights and the rule
of law.’
Yugoslavia’s parliament,
meanwhile, voted to join an
alliance with Russia and
Belarus — an apparent
move to try to draw Russia
into the conflict, although
Russia has said it will not
get militarily involved.
Russia favors the idea of
incorporating Yugoslavia
into the alliance that al
ready includes it and Be
larus, but said membership
wouldn’t be instantaneous
and any military aid would
not be automatically grant
ed.
