Show rage z — fhe Herald Journal Logan Utah Sunday April 28 1996 Group may be persuaded to surrender Freemen low on food Gntz says JORDAN Mont (AP) — After meeting with the defiant Freemen for more than seven hours Saturday former Green Beret Col James “Bo” Gritz said they appear to be running low on food and may be persuaded to surrender peacefully TWo young girls in the ranch house were as “thin as rails” but otherwise appeared to be healthy Gritz said at a news conference He said that all of the adult men wore pistols and there were numerous rifles in the farmhouse Gritz said he will return Sunday morning for more talks and will insist that the FBI allow Randy Weaver to accompany him In 1992 Gritz helped end a bloody standoff at Ruby Ridge Idaho by persuading Weaver to surrender Weaver a white separatist accompanied Gritz to Montana on Thursday but said the FBI would not let him go to the Freemen’s ranch Gritz said he saw 16 people in the main house on the Freemen’s ranch but was told there were 22 people on the property As if the Freemen had some sense of how the siege at Waco Texas and Ruby Ridge ended Gritz replied “Not enough If you get my message not enough” “I think they’re hope is that they (the FBI) will just go away — and I don’t think that will happen" he said Gritz said the Freemen seem especially interested in having lawyer Jerry Spence defend them if they come out Gritz has publicly urged the Freemen to surrender and face trial in federal court Their standoff with the FBI reached its 34th day Saturday “This is good” Weaver said earlier of the long wait for Gritz to return “I figure the longer he stays in there the better the chances are” Since his arrival Gritz has met with FBI officials each day to discuss his undisclosed plans to end the standoff in which an estimated 18 Freemen are encircled on the 960-acr- e ranch After a nearly two-homeeting Saturday morning a car carrying Gritz and Jack McLamb a retired Phoenix police officer was escorted to the ranch by a state Highway Fund car carrying an FBI agent Gritz and McLamb got out and walked until the Freemen sent a car that took them to the ur main house on the ranch which they AP photo Negotiators James ‘Bo Gritz left and Jack McLamb hoM a news conference following their visit to the Freeman compound Saturday Gritz holds a statement issued by the Freemen entered FBI agents have surrounded the Freemen complex since March 25 when they arrest- ed two leaders of the group in a sting operation Some of the Freemen are wanted on federal and state charges ranging from writing millions of dollars in worthless checks to threatening to murder a federal judge The only outside negotiators allowed to talk to the Freemen before Gritz and McLamb were state officials including four legislators who have met with them several times Relatives of the Freemen have also been allowed to visit The Freemen contend they are not subject to federal or state laws but are sovereign citizens of their own country and are governed only by common law Like Weaver whose wife and son and a US marshal were shot to death in the 1992 confronta tion the Freemen ascribe to the Old Identity movement Gritz 57 became a hero in right-win- g circles when he staged several unsuccessful commando-styl- e forays in Southeast Asia in the 1980s to search for POWs His activi- ties were curbed after US authorities charged him with using a passport under a false name Based in Nevada he later became a lecturer on emergency preparedness living and homeopathic remedies As a Populist Party presidential candidate in (208) YJU MTURDMr APffiL ran WOO S 10X00 0M I oho oho ha aha pa yew phoa Moatoy Ml worioha 4rkmy of Meh S 5fcy SI 1340 SI 300 M-- F ai AhaM padaa yw ad taeatiioa aoty Al pwyeity ijyha a ny tinwanara a IHN P PP PPPm P IK IPM KPMk MKg PV WPV M Ifranm PPM ff rapoirt ha hy TIM HmM leanal M he pnpory ef TW HmM iomL Naachtiany pal damfa he KgraAni a wapiti waho (a aaaaarf lie HaaWJoaniL t Office Horn: Monday Mrtay FJO SJta to X40 pjta to Neon iMuMy Mi M BSDW 4PHL Local News Local Spores Local Events Weather NUMBERS MASS Ft in nmniMniMua 62632 Our Goal sa to know our Market know the customers needs and then handle every phase of the Real Estate transaction with the utmost skill attention to detail i personal concern and j Professionalism KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION will be held at the following times: ELLIS ELEMENTARY ' Call ua to find out what "Expect the Beet” '&t really means ?i May 1 1996 ADAMS ELEMENTARY Media Center May 2 19 12:30 - 2:30 pm May 7 19 200 - 3:30 pm WOODRUFF ELEMENTARY Little Theatre May 8 19 1:00- - 9 19 1 iniLCREST ELEMENTARY Auditorium WILSONRTVERSIDE Cafeteria EjedtorbnL 755-300- 7 755-351- 4 1:30 3:30 pm Auditorium May - 400 pm :30 - 3:30 pm Please bring a birth certificate and immunization record when registering your child for kindergarten In the even!
