IKtjIJ William Michael PROVO Crandall, 27, (if I'rovo, was sentenced Friday to between one and 15 years in the Utah State prison for sexually abusing a child. Fourth District Court Judge Ray M. Harding, Sr., handed down the sentence. According to court documents, charges were filed in May on allegations Crandall fondled a boy while he was on probation. Crandall's attorney argued against imprisonment, saying Crandall's wife was interested in working to keeping the family together, lie said imprisonment would result in financial difficulty for Crandall's family. His attorney also argued that Crandall's problems were rooted in abuse Crandall suffered as a child abuse society and the state never addressed, the attorney long-ter- added. County prosecutors countered that Crandall had in a the already spent year Utah County Jail on earlier and no sexual abuse charges in abuse his sexual change behavior took place. "I have no alternative," Judge Harding said. He then handed down the prison sentence. In other court action Friday morning. Harding denied a request by an attorney for Utah County Jail inmate Wesley Kirkham, 27, of Cedar Hills, for home confinement and work release. Kirkham is serving a year's jail term that stems from a attempted forcible sexual abuse conviction. According to court documents, Kirkham entered a residence in Pleasant drove on Aug. 10, 199i, and attempted to rape a woman. The documents stated she was stablx'd in the attempt. third-degre- e Brown iHr:''Tfti'Tii Williamson Tobacco and Lorillard Inc. will finance the Broin Research Foundation to study cures for illnesses caused by smoke and n to develop & early-detectio- methods. "Radiant? I'm happy today," said the lead plaintiff, Norma Broin, a American Airlines flight attendant from Stafford, V'a. She was diagnosed with lung cancer in 1989, but her disease is in remission. Broin said that she was disappointed there was no actual admission of wrongdoing. But she .said the settlement looks like one anyway in the court of public opinion. "The goal was to expose the deception and the fraud." she said. The attendants claimed that passengers' smoke caused lung cancer, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic bronchitis and chronic sinusitis. Broin was picked as the plaintiff because her own exposure to cigarette smoke was almost nil before she became a flight attendant at age 21. Raised a Mormon in Utah, she never smoked, and neither did her parents. She also never drank alcohol and consumed very little caffeine products the tobacco industry often says are responsible for illnesses among smokers. Kxperts said the deal could open the floodgates to lawsuits unless the industry can short-circuthe claims under the proposed $368 billion national settlement that is awaiting approval from Congress and President Clinton. "This might well open the door to a lot of other lawsuits by other workers that are traditionally cooped up ... who've had to have a constant diet of secondhand said smoke," it In a statement, cigarette makers said the agreement was "a common-sens- e approach to the resolving aspects of the case in a way that is consistent with the much broader legislation resolution now pending before class-actio- n Congress." The industry will pay $100 million a year starting next April, with company amounts based on market share. The attendants' attorneys will be paid an additional $49 million. Under the settlement, the industry waived statutes of limitations requiring lawsuits to be filed within one to four years of the discovery of an illness. Many attendants would have otherwise lost their right to sue. The settlement also shifts the burden of proof when it comes to showing that secondhand smoke causes disease. Attendants with certain illnesses will not be required to prove that smoke caused the disease. Instead, the tobacco industry must prove smoke didn't cause the disease. When the trial began June 2, the industry had never paid a penny in a product-liabilitcase. Since then, an upheaval in tobacco litigation has produced the proposed national settlement and deals with Florida, for $11 billion, and Mississippi, for $3.4 bily Continued from A I science ... sign this legislation," Clinton said in his official veto notice to the House. Acknowledging that the pro- two-thir- cedure "appears inhumane," Clinton added that "to eliminate it without taking into consideration the rare and tragic circumstances in which its use may be necessary would be even more inhumane." Last year, Clinton vetoed similar legislation for the same reason. It was an election-yea- r issue then, and he had an emotional veto ceremony surrounded by women who testified to the necessity of the 296-13- h believed.

The House's separate vote on was by a Wednesday, margin that would be more than enough to override. But both chambers must vote by s majorities. Within moments of Friday's veto, Rep.

Because this case involved nonsmokers who were exposed to other people's cigarette smoke, the industry was unable to use what has been its strongest defense: that the smoker assumes the risk when he or she starts smoking. The defendants in the case were the four major tobacco companies, the smaller cigarette maker Liggett Group, the A industry-funde- for Council d Tobacco Research, and the Tobacco Institute, the industry's lobbying arm.
