Brown said Paynes body was identified by medical examiners from fingerprints. He said the cause of death in kickbacks $30,000 in plus interest. The state had asked that Agnew also be held responsible for $30,000 which Wolff testified he received as his share of the kickbacks. However Williams, who dismissed Wolff as a defendant at the request of the state after he testified against Agnew, said it would be unfair to make Agnew repay Wolffs shareWe're hopeful Mr. Agnew will pay the judgment and conclude what has been a very unhappy chapter Maryland history, Milleman said.

The commissioner said missing persons investigators had the lead in the investigation of Paynes disappearance, but now that the case is a homicide, he said the task force will take over. The Payne disappeared last Wednesday. Brown said the body had been in the water from five to seven days. Three boys who were fishing in the nver Monday spotted the body caught in tree branches about 20 feet from the bank of the river, authorities said. Refuse Comment Brown refused to comment on how the body was clothed, but Dr. Robert Stivers, Fulton County medical examiner, said Payne was wearing only red undershorts when his body was brought to the morgue. Stivers also said that Paynes body, like those of a number of other victims, had no marks, bruises or wounds that could be identified as causing his death. Asked if the discovery of the body was related to the other 25 slayings, Stivers said, For all practical purposes, he fits the pattern. He was found in the river and they (the victims) keep on getting older and older. Brown had decided earlier Monday not to assign the task force to investigate Paynes disappearance, primarily because of a report that he had been sighted on Sunday. "It was the best information we had, information of his having been seen and we were going to check, Bown said.

Assistant District Attorney Roger Hayes told the jurors that before Cnmmins was arrested Aug. 30 he voluntarily admitted having spoken to Mrs. Mintiks in an elevator and that whatever he said, she slapped him in the face and said something loud and snotty. Attempted Rape Then, Hayes continued, Crimmins told authonties he took her to a staircase "where he attempted to rape her for about five minutes, and then took her to the roof of the Lincoln Center concert hall. Hayes said Crimmins told police he her when she freed tied her up, d her feet and tried to run, and gagged her with a napkin. At that point, Hayes said, he laid her on her stomach and he cut off her clothes. He started to walk away. Then Mrs. Mintiks made a noise, and thats when it happened. He went back and he kicked her over the ventilation shaft, Hayes said. Fell Three Stories The musician died when her body fell three stories and crashed onto the ledge, he charged. But defense attorney Lawrence Hochheiser, in his opening statement, contended Craig Crimmins never did anything. He never killed anybody and never attempted to rape anybody. This young man is entirely innocent. There is no statement by Craig Crimmins, Hochheiser said, adding that the videotaped confession showed Crimmins very distraut, holding back tears. He does not tell anybody any story of doing something like attempting to rape somebody. Hochheiser charged that detectives pressured Crimmins into giving yes and no answers to their questions by threatening him and then telling him he would see a doctor instead of going to jail if he told police what they wanted to hear. Isolated From Parents Hochheiser also argued that Crimmins would not have waived his right to legal counsel during questioning if police had not kept him isolated from his parents. The lawyers also discussed other evidence besides the recorded confession, which will be played later in the trial. Hayes said a palm print found on the roof of the opera house matched Crimmins exactly.

Ease Relations Giscard dEstaings campaign managers welcomed the statement and siad it would ease the tense relations that have existed between the president and the mayor since 1976, when Chirac quit as Giscard dEstaings premier.

Atlanta Police spokesman Roger Harris said members of the special police task force were at the scene. Payne, who was slight in stature, was wearing red jeans, a gray shirt and gray jacket when he was last seen. Pair of Red Shorts Tony Gibbs, 13, said the body was wearing a pair of red shorts. Jessie Grimes, 14, said Gibbs and another boy told him they had spotted something in the river, and he went to the scene with them. Payne was last seen Wednesday morning when he left his southwest Atlanta home to sell some old coins at the Omni, a downtown hotel and entertainment complex where Patrick Baltazar, one of tBe 25 victims, was last seen in February. Schools Crisis In Boston Still in Knots BOSTON (UPI) Classes for 64,000 students in Americas oldest public school system reopened Monday after spring vacation despite an unresolved fiscal and political dilemma threatening to shut down the bankrupt system later this week. The city council and Mayor Kevin H. Whites office scheduled no public meetings Monday in their effort to provide about $30 million to keep the schools open for the remainder of the academic year. There was only enough money in school department coffers Monday to keep classes open until Tuesday, officials said. Court Threat A superior court judge has given the or face court city until Tuesday to resolve a funding intervention dispute between the council and the mayor which has dragged on for more than a month. The state Legislature also was attempting Monday to pass a bill to reimburse Boston for $9.4 million enough to keep the schools open another two weeks - for the' states share of past school building projects. Suffolk Superior Court Judge Thomas Morse Jr. has threatened to, issue an order forcing the transfer of money from other city accounts to the schools unless city officials come up with a voluntary solution to the problem. Although Boston is facing a fiscal crunch because of a recently approved Califomia-styl- e g referen- dum, the school crisis has little to do with that issue. Political Battle Rather, it centers on a political battle between White, the equally combatitive council and the school committee, an independently elected board which supervises a public school system dating back to 1634. The council and White wee id ago failed to agree on a $75 million bond issue which, through a complex bookkeeping process, would have provided the $30 million to $40 million needed to keep the schools running. The council refused to approve the measure without adding riders that would have severely restricted the mayors often controversial use of the municipal budgetary process. White countered with a proposal that would have stripped the school committee, another long-tim- e foe, of its fiscal powers. sketch of a suspect that was based on a description given by a ballerina who said she saw a man board an elevator with Mrs Mintiks He said it shows a man who looks older than, and does not resemble, his client Bomb Claims 1, Injures 3 In N. Ireland Continued From Page One arrested 20 leaders of a campaign supporting Sands demands that the British government restore special privileges for imprisoned IRA guerrillas. Later a mob of 200 youths in the staunchly Catholic Falls Road area of Belfast, near Andersonstown, stoned police and hijacked two buses which were set afire, police said. Rioters dispersed when police moved in. In London, a British Army bomb squad was called to the office of a member of Parliament, Conservative Richard Alexander of Newark, after he reported receiving a suspicious package and discovered it contained only a clock. Public Figures Warned British legislators and public figures were warned to alert police of any mail after Conservative suspicious member of Parliament Barry Porter received a letter bomb Saturday that did not go off. Authorities feared the earlier letter bomb might signal the start of an IRA terrorist campaign. In the last such campaign, in December 1979, the IRA sent 12 letter bombs, three of which exploded but caused no injuries. Sinn Fein, the IRAs political front, said in Belfast that Sands was very seriously ill, extremely weak and close to death. The IRA gunman, serving 14 years for illegal possession of a firearm, was in bad shape, s"id his lawyer, Pat Finucane. But Sands was experiencing "periods of lucidity, the lawyer added. Weighs 95 Pounds An authoritative British source reported that Sands weighed about 95 pounds, down from 155 pounds when he began his test March 1. A prison spokesman said Sands was taking only mineral water because he was no longer able to hold down tap water which contains fluoride. He was lying in bed on a sheepskin rug to ease body pains and wore pads on his ankles and elbows to prevent bedsores. The British government flatly refuses to grant the guerrillas special status. It says to do so would give political legitimacy to the mainly Roman Catholic IRAs campaign to end British rule in Northern Ireland. e Over 50 Protesters Arrested at Rockwell Offices Anti-Nuk- EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (UPD More than 50 protesters were arrested outside Rockwell International corporate offices Monday for violating police orders in a daylong vigil against the production of nuclear weapons and the arms race. Police said 54 people were arrested, most on tespassing and obstruction charges, after they sat down and blocked entrances and traffic at the Rockwell offices near Los Angeles International Airport. Most of the suspects were released in their own recognizance after booking and ordered to return for arraignment May 19. Eight women refused to sign their release form, however, and they were taken to county jail pending arraignment next Monday. About 150 people gathered at the offices for the peaceful protest, sponsored the Los Angeles Catholic Worker and Concerned Citizens for National Security. A police spokesman said there were no violent incidents during the civil disobedience. Nancy Mintie, an attorney and spokeswoman for the demonstrators, said they wanted to voice their opposition to increases in the nations defense budget and rising militarism and the needless proliferation of nuclear weapons. The spirit of the vigil, she sadded, Is that our national priorities are wrong. She said Rockwell was picked for the protest because it holds contracts for development of the MX missile and Trident submarines and is the sole producer of plutonium triggers for the nations nuclear armaments. The company is also involved in development of the Navstar satellites, designed to improve the nations missile accuracy and e capability, and is a major contractor for the breeder nuclear power reactor.
