Prosecutors contended she shot Lael Brown, 75, no relation, because he had learned his former employee and trusted friend had forged checks and he was about to turn her in. ..t They said more than $3,500 in checks bearing the victim's signature and cashed by the defendant I had been forged or traced. Defense attorney John Caine said he was stunned by the verdict because "the evidence showed a great deal of reasonable doubt. But I believe it was the checks that did us in." '. SALT LAKE CITY (AP) A bill by Sen. Orrin Hatch aimed at compensating landowners whose property values are eroded by government regulations has brought sharp reaction from the White House. The Clinton administration threatened a veto, saying the bill would cost taxpayers $28 billion a year while weakening environmental laws and forcing the government to pay polluters to stop polluting. However, the Congressional Budget Office has estimated the bill would cost a fraction of the White House estimate about $30 million to $40 million a year. Republican witnesses at a Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday including Brigham Young University law professor Richard G. Wilkins praised the Hatch bill for outlining when government rules go too far without compensation, while still protecting the '. Man perishes in Ogden car crash ' A Salt Lake OGDEN (AP) ' man drowned when his car, having plunged down a spillway at Pineview Dam, slipped into the frigid waters of the Ogden River. Divers recovered the body of Guy Leland, 30, from 20- 'ioot deep water after the accident about 4 p.m. Tuesday. Would-b- e rescuers spoke to Leland just moments before his car sank into the river. "We asked him if he was all right and he said, 'Yeah.' And we asked him if anyone else was in the car and he said, 'No,' said Wynn Storey, of Eden. "We asked him if he thought he could make it from the edge of the spillway to the rocks (about 100 don't think feet) and he said, so.'

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Salt Lake County Sheriff Aaron Kennard's notion of incarcerating prostitutes at Camp Williams has drawn fire from the ACLU and the wives of five Utah National Guard members. "I told them (the wives) they must not trust their husbands very much," Kennard said Wednesday. Camp Williams is just one site under consideration. Kennard also is looking at using a vacant warehouse as a temporary jail. Warehouse owners have been calling, offering their facilities. Kennard said three are under consideration. Salt Lake city Mayor Deedee Corradini has her staff investigating whether a 100.000 square-foo- t warehouse near the airport might be used. Meanwhile, the Utah Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union called the plan a "bad case of misplaced priorities. "Sheriff Kennard's plan to use tax dollars to provide facilities to house those accused of victimless crimes is particularly in an age where our jails are overcrowded and violent offenders are set free," Utah executive director Carol Gnade and staff attorney Jensie Anderson said in a joint statement. The ACLU said that if Kennard short-sighte- insurance claims naming her deceased husband as the provider of all services at the clinic. ten) Power-bal- 73-pa- 1 people's livelihoods." "Available on gggggg requirements." "Bless their hearts, if they're willing to work with us instead of against us," Kennard said. "But I"m not going to let them dictate and say, 'You have to have color TV and cable TV.'" Anderson said she is concerned about toilet and recreational facilities. She said jails must keep inmates with communicable diseases, such as tuberculosis, away from other prisoners, and that would be difficult in an open-ai- r warehouse. Because of jail overcrowding, prostitutes have not been incarcerated and authorities said the number of them has been increasing. Kennard wants to immediately find a place to confine them and is unwilling to wait six months until the new Oxbow Jail is ready to accept up to 84 female inmates. "The word (among prostitutes) basically is this (Salt Lake City) is an easy mark because you don't do any jail time." said sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Jim Potter. "(Prostitution) is more prevalent now than I've seen it in 25 years," said Kennard. who used to work as a vice officer for Salt Lake City.

Stale officials alleged last July that Jeanne C. Harrison of Murray was practicing dentistry without a license. Harrison said officials misinterpreted her role in clinic operations.

Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman John Chaffee. disagreed with Hatch. He testified the bill would "undermine severely many of the protections provided by our environmental laws." But Wilkins said the Hatch bill would finally solve a problem with Supreme Court decisions that the government may regulate despite incidental effects on property value as long as it does not go "too far." He said the Supreme Court has never defined what "too far" means, which "rendered the protection afforded by the Fifth Amendment (not to take property without compensation) essentially meaningless." He said Hatch's bill would finally define "too far" to mean any action that diminished the fair market value of an affected property by 33 percent or more of its value just prior to government action.

As written, it wou'd require compensation when government actions reduce the value of a property by at least a third. The House passed a similar bill as part of the GOP's "Contract With America " Hatch said the bill won't stop government taking of property for the public welfare, but would "assure, as required by the Constitution, that just compensation be paid when the government 'takes' a property interest." The Congressional Budget Office, while putting the bill's price tag at up to $40 million a year, estimates costs would drop over time because the measure "would encourage agencies to avoid taking actions that would cause property owners to seek compensation," Hatch said.
