Page 4 The St. Louis Times December 6-7, 1978 Ds Louisam Linked By FBI To Killings In Guyana a 1970 New York charge of conspiracy to commit murder; and Claude Herbert, also wanted on a murder charge. Publicly, the FBI said only it is seeking the four fugitives, who fled to Guyana some time ago, and that they are not known to have any direct connection to the Rev. Jimmie Jones or the Peoples Temple cult. Ryan and three American newsmen were killed Nov.

18 as they tried to board planes on an airstrip near Jonestown, Guyana, where the Peoples Temple cult was based. More than 900 of the cult members, including Jones, were found dead following the Ryan killings and a mass suicide conducted at the cult compound. It has not been determined Whether the four, if they are members of the cult, survived the mass suicide. Bradford was ordered released, then-Massachusetts Gov. Francis Sargent signed new extradition papers.

But it was too late. Bradford, who had agreed to surrender himself if new extradition papers were approved, disappeared. The Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1972 issued warrants against Bradford for interstate flight to avoid prosecution. The latest information about him, according to police, was that in July 1976 he was living in Georgetown, Guyana, as a lieutenant in the Guyana national service. He was using the aliases Omawali Omawale and Abdolla Omawali.

Police said he was still in Guyana in late October 1978. Besides Bradford, the FBI is seeking David Hill, wanted on a fraud charge in Cleveland; Herman Benjamin Ferguson, on 1 it Albert Louis Bradford County Reports Increase In Assaults A 7.3 percent increase in larceny can be attributed to the growing theft of bicycles, Kleinknecht said. Bicycle thefts in the third quarter increased to 345 from 203. Kleinknecht said thieves are capitalizing on a growing demand for bicycles, which he said are easy to steal and resell unless owners record serial numbers and participate in the department's Operation Ident program. Those three categories and aggravated assault accounted for the 22.8 percent increase in crimes against persons to 221 from 180 in the third quarter.

Crimes against property increased 4.4 percent to 4,428 from 4,241. Of the crimes against property, auto theft showed the largest increase 9.2 percent, to 542 in 1978 from 496 in 1977. Rules Against Franks A former St. Louisan is believed to be among those being sought by the FBI in connection with the murder of U.S. Rep.

Leo J. Ryan in Guyana, South America. Albert Louis Bradford has twice been befriended by groups of people attesting to his goodness and has twice been released from police custody only to be charged with more serious crimes. Clayton police said Bradford, 45, was released from the Missouri State Penitentiary in 1968 after a group headd by a Richmond Heights minister's interceded on his behalf because oi lis talent in painting and drawing. At the time, he had served 17 years of three concurrent life terms for the rapes of two St.

Louis women and the armed robbery of a woman. Four months after his release, a 27-year-old Clayton art store clerk was found left for dead. Her attacker had slashed her near the eyes with a knife, stabbed her in the neck, chest and abdomen, crushed her skull with a hammer, jammed a sweater down her throat, tied her and raped her. Bradford, who was working as an errand boy for a copying company near the art store, was charged with the rape and assault with intent to kill. Police said he disappeared but surfaced in Boston in 1971, when under the alias Malik Hakim he applied for a passport for an overseas study grant.

When Missouri authorities sought him for extradition, more than 5,000 persons signed petitions opposing his return, citing his work with anti-poverty agencies in Boston. Bradford was not extradited, because a Boston superior court judge said Missouri had failed to prove that Hakim was Bradford. But in February- 1972, a month after to be paid to the federal government. The appellate panel said that U.S. District Court Judge John F.

Nangle acted properly in awarding $898,249 to the government on the ground that Frank used funds from the Mansion House project to hire attorneys to contest the government's efforts to foreclose on the project. Maurice B. Frank, former manager and general partner of the Mansion House Center, has lost another round in six years of litigation over the controversial apartment complex. The U.S. Court of Appeals here has affirmed a judgment of nearly $900,000 against Frank, which a lower court said is Aggravated assault over the summer increased 51.5 percent from the same time last year in areas patrolled by St.

Louis County police, newly released statistics indicate. But Col. G. H. Kleinknecht, superintendent of county police, maintains that even so, the rate of assaults is far below those of comparable metropolitan areas.

The assault figures were among major crime statistics released by the department for the third quarter of 1978, covering July, August and September. The statistics cover only unincorporated areas of the county and other, contract areas patrolled by county police. Aggravated assaults increased to 150 this year from 99 in the third quarter of 1977, marking the largest jump in major crimes. Kleinknecht said that means about 37 of every 100,000 persons in the patrol area were victims of assault. He compared the figure to the national average of 271 assaults per 100,000 persons in 1977.

Overall, major crime increased 5.2 percent from 1977 to 1978 in the third quarter. For the first nine months, however, the figures show a 0.7 percent decrease of reported crime from 1977 to 1978. During the third quarter of 1978, the number of murders declined to four from seven in 1977; rapes declined to 19 from 26; and robberies remained at 48. an Killed At UE Plant sandpile that shifted at a concrete-making site, authorities said. He suffocated when the safety line attached to him snapped under the weight of the sand, authorities said.

Another worker, Charles Faulkner, was taken to Charles E. Still Hospital in Jefferson City with unknown injuries. Hospital officials declined to give his condition or home town. FULTON, Mo. Occupational Safety and Health Administration investigators will be sent to check on the circumstances of the first fatality in the construction of Union Electric Callaway County nuclear power plant, a spokesman for the St.

Louis regional office said Tuesday. The fatality occurred about 4 p.m. Monday when a carpenter, Marvin Baker, 23, of Belle, was buried under a LaClede Manager Removed -V "FEATURING" Pin Rail Tft Prirtl Tahloc 3-in-1 Tables A decision to remove Jerry Berger's LaClede Town Company as managers of the LaClede Town housing complex has been upheld by regional officials of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The decision was based on the company's "extensive record" of poor physical and financial management of the complex, according to William Anderson, regional director for HUD. LaClede Town had once been considered one of the finest urban housing developments in the nation, but tenants have complained that it had deteriorated extensively in the past few years.

Some tenants even charged that there was a policy of deliberate neglect. The company said it was performing adequately. Partly as a result of pressure from the Missouri Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), local HUD officials decided to cancel the management contract. Berger, a longtime political power in the housing field, appealed the local decision in September. Supporters of the present management circulated petitions supporting Berger's company.
