No, they didn't go looking to be different. “We don't feel we have to give (fans) outrageous sex or sy,” said band founder Johnson. “It was something that happened upon us and was not totally contrived. The idea was to stimulate rather than shock people.” Why don't they like the press? “It’s not really that the press doesn't matter to us,” explained Rutherford. “The press has mistreated us greatly so we're very suspicious.” Challenged by an irate reporter who found their behavior “disgusting,” Rutherford shot back: “You get paid for your articles . . . we've been misquoted more times than you have. . .” SABIA' Latin American Song : Most songs were plaintive ballads, pertormed with exquisite vocal harmonies and excellent musicianship on a fascinating variety of in struments.

By then, says author David Black, the case centred on the credibility of the police investigation and it was being tried in the volatile New York press, with public sympathy leaning heavily toward Craig Crimmins, the murderer. Detective Jerry Giorgio, one of the principals in the drama, recalls a party at the time when a woman said to him, “Oh, My God, I feel so sorry for that kid.” “Helen?” Giorgio asked “Who's she?” When the trial started Crimmins’ family and friends paraded into the courtroom but Detective Mike Struk, leader of the investigation, was struck by the absence of any of Helen's friends. “He could understand — and respect — Helen's family's decision to keep a low profile, but the absence of her friends and co-workers seemed heartless, one more example of how the arty types live in some world off on their own,” Black writes. Unfortunately, Black is guilty of much the same lack of balance in his book Murder at The Met, recently released by Dial Press and distributed by Doubleday Canada.

Written with the co-operation of Struk and Giorgio, the book is a well hed di 'y on the i and the questioning of hundreds of suspects. But it is often poorly, confusingly written and its dustjacket design — a theatrical mask holding a bloody rose in its mouth — is a vulgar cliche. Black has a ing way of ing on legal detail of little significance while brushing lightly over more telling testimony. Helen Hagnes, 30, had grown up on a dairy and poultry farm in Aldergrove. She escaped to the glamorous life through scholarships that took her to Western Washington University, the Julliard School of Music in New York and study in Italy and Switzerland. She was a freelance violinist playing for the Berlin Ballet at the Met the night she left during intermission to try to see Soviet ballet star Valery Panov. On the elevator she met Crimmins, a stagehand, and slapped him when he made an advance. GOES TO ROOF He then forced her along the maze of backstage Lincoln Centre corridors, tried to rape her, threatened her with a hammer and finally took her to the roof, amid the roaring air-conditioner machines. There he cut off her clothes, bound and gagged her. He said he wanted to escape and felt she would be too embarrassed, in the nude, to follow. But, he contended at his trial, she kept struggling and thrashing and finally he pushed her down a three-storey airshaft where she landed like a broken doll on a suspended sluiceway The book gives a raw glimpse at backstage life at the Met, where workers goofed off, drank, popped pills, and showed porn movies and were bound in the fellowship of a strong union, rallying together every time police sought to ze SIT ° tliitiit Gr Tt) Litititiiiit aol LTT Hotel trail b.c.

Defence lawyer Lawrence Hochheiser sought to illustrate that Crimmins’ confession, which he freely gave without benefit of lawyer, was coerced by detectives putting words in the mouth of his slow-witted, “suggestible” client. But the jury didn’t buy that, and Crimmins, then 22, was found guilty of second-degree murder and sentenced to 20 years to life.

LORME FELLOWS By JOHN WARD SASKATOON (CP) — Colin Thatcher's trial, in the - The home, where.she lived with her new husband, ‘Tony Wilson, was across the street from the Saskatche- wan legislature. Until four days before her death, Thatcher had been the province's energy minister. After resigning from the cabinet, Thatcher remained in the legislature and today remains the Progressive Conservative member for the riding of Thunder Creek. JoAnn had been battered about the head with a heavy, sharp instrument. Her hands were cut and broken SPECIAL REPOR from her efforts to ward off the killer's blows. The ultimate cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head. Police started an intensive investigation, which grew into the biggest in Regina history. The police commissioners offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of the killer or killers. SURPRISE ARREST Thatcher's arrest at his Moose Jaw home on May 7, 1984 came as a bolt from the blue. He was in court 2'/2 hours after his arrest and was remanded in custody Despite his political prominence as a former cabinet minister and extensive real estate holdings which might have financed a heavy bond, Thatcher remained in jail for almost six months before his trial. Thatcher grew up in the limelight. He was the only son of former Liberal premier Ross Thatcher. He attended Iowa State University where he earned a bachelor's degree. It was at university that he met JoAnn Geiger, an elfin, five-foot, five-inch blonde whose build contrasted sharply with the husky, six-foot Thatcher. They married in 1962, two years after they met and moved back to the Thatcher family ranch near Caron, Sask. He ran the farm — his father was then premier — and she taught economics at the local high school. Their marriage was stormy, by most accounts, but they had three children. There were two boys, Greg, born P premier Ross Thatcher, took it like a body blow as the verdict was delivered. He closed his eyes and stiffened visibly as he stood in the prisoner’s dock and heard the jury foreman read a finding of guilty of murder in the first degree. Justice J.H. Maher sentenced him to the mandatory life term without eligibility for parole for 25 years. The Court of Queen's Bench jury deliberated for almost 35 hours spread over five days before reaching their verdict. Defence lawyer Gerald Allbright sat expressionless and refused to comment. Thatcher's face was grey, his eyes sunken under heavy brows, his jowls pasty in his bulldog face. Crown Attorney Serge Kujawa, Saskatchewan's senior prosecutor, the man who had worried away at Thatcher during the three-week trial, said afterwards he was saddened by the human tragedy of the whole affair. Kujawa praised the work of the Regina police, especially Deputy Chief Ed Swayze, who led the 15-month investigation that turned the case. Although Allbright had no statement after the verdict, Kujawa predicted an appeal is likely. “See you in the Supreme Court,” he said. However, Thatcher told reporters after the verdict he does not plan an appeal of the conviction. “It doesn’t matter now,” Thatcher said. “I'm innocent, I did not do it. “But it wasn’t in the cards and now I will not be appealing.” What began as a family quarrel bloomed into murder when Wilson's body was found in the garage of her Regina home just across the street from the provincial legislature Jan. 21, 1983. She had been beaten so badly there was blood spattered on the ceiling, but the cause of death was a dum-dum bullet fired into her skull just above the right ear. Police started their investigation with a single clue, a credit card receipt found lying on the snow just outside the garage. It bore the name Colin Thatcher. Gromyko slams U.S. stance MOSCOW (AP) — Soviet all nuclear arsenals,” Grom Foreign Minister Andrei yko said. “It will be easier The Thatcher divorce case, which began when Wilson Fan away with her husband's best friend on their 17th wedding anniversary, dragged through the courts for years as they fought over the settlement and custody of the three children, It turned blood in May 1981 when a gunman wounded Wilson in the shoulder. The Crown blamed Thateher for that attack. It turned tragic in January 1983 when Wilson died on the bloodstained concrete floor of the garage. Thatcher, 46, was charged last May 7. Denied bail four times, he has been held in jail in Regina and Saskatoon ever sinee. During the trial, he said he had spent six months of torment, and said that calling the Regina jail hell was giving it the benefit of the doubt. Prosecution witnesses described Thatcher as a brutal man who beat women and was obsessed with hatred for his former wife. Lynn Mendel, a former Thatcher girlfriend, described him as a man of mercurial temper, subject to sharp mood swings and dominated by a fear of wiretaps and eaves- droppers. She said Thatcher boasted to her of killing Wilson, saying it was “strange feeling to blow your wife awa: Dick Collver, former Saskatchewan Conservative leader and an old friend of Thatcher, testified sadly that Thatcher asked him five years ago to help find someone to kill JoAnn. That was only five months after JoAnn left home with Ron Graham, Thatcher's best friend. One of the keys to the Crown's case was a man named Gary Anderson, a Thatcher accomplice who turned to the Crown in return for a promise of immunity and a new identity. Anderson, 38, was a former neighbor of Thatcher's. His family land was adjacent to Thatcher's ranch near Caron, just west of Moose Jaw. Anderson helped Thatcher get cars and guns both for the wounding of his wife and for the killing. Kujawa said Anderson's co-operation marked a turning point in the case, and he became even more vital when he wore a secret tape recorder to a meeting with Thatcher last May 1. On the tape, Anderson and Thatcher discussed Wilson's murder, with Thatcher sneering at the police investigation: “They got zero.” He also made threats, saying of Gerry Gerrand, Wilson's divorce lawyer: “I could do him.” The Crown built a case out of bits and pieces, linking Thatcher to the purchase of a pistol and an unusual type of ammunition similar to that used in the killing. The prosecution tied Thatcher to the telltale credit card receipt and they showed how his oft-demonstrated hatred of his former wife provided a motive.

In 1977, he crossed the floor to join the Progressive Conservatives and wheri the: April 1962 his early support was rewarded with the energy portfolio.

About Thatcher as MLA uncertain REGINA (CP) — Colin Thatcher's future as the Pro- gressive Conservative mem- ber of the legislature for Thunder Creek is uncertain Tuesday following his convie- tion on a charge of first degree murder. Thatcher, a member of the house since 1975, was charged in the January 1963 murder of his former wife, JoAnn Wilson. The convic- tion brings an automatic 26- year sentence. Saskatchewan Justice Min- ister Gary Lane said follow- ing Thateher’s convietion Tuesday he is preparing a report for cabinet on That- ’s future gested this overlaps provin. cial jurisdiction and there is no provincial legislation at present to deal with the situ ation. The legislature could pass a resolution to expel That cher, pass a new law covering the situation, do nothing or wait until dissolution for a general election. The last time the Saskat- chewan legislature expelled one of its members was in 1916 following a royal com mission investigating bribes relating to liquor licences. Thatcher, first elected as a Liberal, crossed to the Con. servatives in 1977. bear i for dis- rupting arms limitation talks between the United States and Soviet Union because they accepted deployment of U.S.-made nuclear missiles. “We are saying: It is high time to stop the nuclear con. veyer line, and we suggest starting with such a simple and effective step as freezing cutting them.” His remarks came a day after President Konstantin Chernenko said the United States has set for itself “ther insane goal” of establishing military superiority and de- clared that the Soviet Union would not allow this to hap- en.
