ANNE'S DEFENDANTS: Ch arges of forcible sexual abuse have been added to those filed against three men accused of eying up and terrorizing 38 teen-agers and young adults at St. Anne's Retreat in Logan Canyon. John Jeppson of Pocatello, Idaho, an d Tooele Coun ty residents Chris topher Doer and Arthur Peasnall, were already each facing six third-degre.e fe lony charges of aggravated assault that were fil ed in October. Cache County Deputy Attorney Don Linton said Monday's second-degree felony sex abuse charges stem from an investigation of a statement by one of the teen-agers. A preliminary hearing on all seven charges against the three is scheduled for Wednesday in 1st District Court. The three men were arrested after a sheriff's investigation determined they had gone too far when they detained eight trespassers at the St. Anne's Retreat. STATE THREATENS TO CLOSE ST.

U. Research Vice President Richard Koehn announced Monday that the foundation no longer will pursue patents based on the experiments of chemists B. Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann. At a March 23, 1989, press conference, the pair claimed that their tabletop device was producing heat that could only be explained by nuclear reactions. That triggered a worldwide..scramble to reproduce the experiment. Most researchers abandoned the effort when they could not reproduce the results or find supporting evidence. - Don't spend a lifetime paying for it.
