KENTUCKY DEATHS 3 0 THE COURIER-JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 1983 Testimony contradicts at Bonnie Kelly's trial Wednesday, Wlleys Chapel Method- 1st Church In Logan County. Price WARSAW Warren B. Coins, 59. Sparta, died there Tuesday. His Louisville specialist in speech dies at 47 lor's testimony, saying Monday that he had arranged the deposition with Ms.

Bailey because of Taylor's pending cocaine trtaL Asked by defense lawyer Michael R. N. McDonnell if Taylor requested the interview with Bailey, Marryott answered: "No, it was my idea." Marryott also testified that Taylor admitted to lying while testifying at his cocaine trial, which was postponed because of Berry's death. During his trial in Punta Gorda, Taylor denied that he had sold cocaine, but a Charlotte County jury convicted him. He later agreed to testify against Mrs.

Kelly. Marryott said he learned after the trial that Taylor told Investigators he had sold cocaine as charged. Marryott also confirmed a portion of Taylor's testimony last week. Taylor told the jury that he approached Marryott about offering Berry a bribe to reduce the cocaine charges to less serious ones. Marryott confirmed Taylor had suggested making the offer.

"I told him there was no way I could consider it, that he (Taylor) should not consider it that Mr. Berry probably wouldn't take it and would probably have me arrested," Marryott said. About one month before the prosecutor was killed, he handled a marijuana-smuggling trial in which Mrs. Kelly's husband, Wallace Mc-Qure "Mike" Kelly, was sentenced to 45 years in prison and fined $210,000. The sentence has since been overturned, and Kelly will get a new trial after his wife's trial is finished.

Awaciatad Prats LaBELLE, Fla. A Florida lawyer testifying Monday In Bonnie Kelly's murder trial contradicted parts of last week's testimony from a former client, who is a key prosecution witness. Mrs. Kelly, of Lexington, Ky, is charged with the Jan. 16, 1982, shooting death of Florida prosecutor Eugene Berry.

The most damaging testimony against her so far has come from Stephen Vance Taylor, 30, a confessed conspirator in the killing. He testified last week that Berry's death resulted from an aborted plot to murder a police Informant The Informant, Linda Bailey, worked for the Charlotte County Sheriffs Department in 1981, assisting In the prosecution of dozens of narcotics cases. Among the defendants she was to testify against was Taylor, who was scheduled to be tried on cocaine charges two days after the prosecutor was shot to death. Taylor testified that because Ms. Bailey's whereabouts were kept secret.

Berry was murdered instead of the informant Taylor said that in an attempt to locate Ms. Bailey, he told his lawyer, Thomas D. Marryott of Punta Gorda, to arrange a pre-trial interview with Ms. Bailey. Taylor said Mrs.

Kelly was supposed to follow Ms. Bailey after the interview, learn where she was living and pass the information on to contract killers who he said she had hired in Kentucky. But Marryott contradicted Tay Motion seeks to include Brown in nightclub suit Assoclatad Prats CINCINNATI A motion has been filed to include Kentucky Gov. John Y. Brown Jr.

in a lawsuit that seeks more than $200,000 from the owners of a defunct nightclub. Lawyer Louis Schneider Jr. said yesterday that he expects a Hamilton County Common Pleas judge to rule by June 22 on his motion. The motion, filed last Wednesdays an amendment to a 2-year-old lawsuit on behalf of Joseph J. Freed and Associates, owner of the Cassin-elli Square Shopping Center in Springdale.

The nightclub. Trumps, was located In the shopping center. Schneider said he based his motion, in part, on a published account of a news conference Brown held April 29. It was reported that Brown said he once owned an interest in Trumps. ADAIRVILLE Mrs.

Box 3525, Louisville, Ky. 40201. Roof collapse kills 2 miners in West Virginia Assoclatad Prass HOLDEN. W.Va. Two coal miners were crushed under tons of rock yesterday in a roof collapse 2,600 feet inside a Logan County mine, officials said.

The accident occurred about 11:30 a.m. at Kara Coal No. 1 mine at Holden, officials said. Kara Coal Co. President Carey Cline said the miners were working with a continuous-mining machine when the roof collapsed.

He said that 10 miners were underground when the accident occurred, but the others escaped the cave-in. Bart Lay, deputy state mines director, said it took rescue workers hours to recover the victims' bodies, and that for a time, officials thought that one of the miners might still be alive. The body of the first miner was recovered shortly after 2 p.m., officials said, but the second wasn't unearthed for another two hours. "The other one wasn't In his cab, and we assume that means he tried to escape," said Lay, who described the accident as a "massive roof fall." Names of the victims were being withheld pending notification of relatives. Yesterday's deaths were the third and fourth mining fatalities this year in West Virginia.

Cline said state and federal mine inspectors would conduct an investigation. Salyersville man pleads innocent in bombing case Assoclatad Prass LONDON, Ky. Robert H. Barnett, a Salyersville coal operator, has pleaded innocent to charges that he mailed a bomb that injured a Lexington coal broker. U.S.

District Judge Eugene E. Siler Jr. set Barnett's bond yesterday at $10,000 and set a pre-trial hearing for June 2. The trial is scheduled to begin July 11. Barnett, an inventor, investor, housing developer and machine-shop owner, was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of mailing a pipe bomb and possessing an unregistered destructive device.

In 1974, he and others lent coal broker Jack Daniel $250,000 for a proposed coal-barge facility on the Ohio River. Because the project never materialized, Barnett lost his money and sued Daniel to recover it Daniel, who received a dynamite-filled cylinder in the mail on Sept. 5, 1982, lost his legs and several fingers when the package exploded as he tried to open it Sentencing delayed for man who killed 3 women, baby Associated Pm PIKEVILLE, Ky. A circuit judge delayed sentencing yesterday for David Smith, who was convicted of shooting three women and a baby to death in Pike County in 1980. A Pike Circuit Court jury found Smith guilty May 3 and recommended the death penalty.

Sentencing was scheduled for yesterday, but Circuit Judge Reed Anderson said he would delay it until the state Supreme Court chief justice, Robert Stevens, rules on a motion filed Monday to disqualify Anderson from the case. Defense lawyer Keven McNally has said Anderson might be prejudiced because he had discussed Smith's conduct in prison with the Pike County jailer. The suit contends that James Lambert of Lexington was the principle owner of Trumps and that Lums Restaurant Corp. and Robert Laughlin of Madeira were limited partners. Claims made in filing a lawsuit give only one side of the case.

Brown once had an interest in Lums, but sold that to a German holding company about five years ago, according to his press secretary. At his April 29 news conference. Brown was quoted as saying that he sold his interest in Trumps to Lambert "six or seven years ago." Records show that Trumps was organized in 1977. Police say the nightclub has been closed at least two years. McNally also said Anderson had scheduled the sentencing too soon, before the defense had completed work on its motion for a new trial.

And he cited Anderson's denial of a motion for funds to present a psychiatrist as a witness at Smith's trial. Anderson said he will reschedule the sentencing when he receives a ruling on McNally's motion. Smith was convicted of killing Mary Thompson; her daughter, Rebecca Church, who had been Smith's girlfriend; Betty Maynard; and Amanda Marie Church, Ms. Church's 18-month-old daughter. The slayings occurred Sept 5, 1980, at Mrs.

Thompson's home. Brooks said he was told an Inspection report will be available later in the week. The county was not given the option of renovating the structure a task the county could not afford, Brooks said. The jail's nine prisoners will be transferred to the Ohio County jail in Hartford, he said. Butler Fiscal Court will meet at 9 a.m.

today, reportedly to decide whether to appeal the closure. from the back of Co rum's passing pickup truck. But Henderson County Attorney William Markwell recommended dropping the charges last week because a state law says that before a dog can be considered vicious it must bite someone. Sam has not bitten anyone. "I hated that they threw it out" Corum said.

"I was all prepared to go and I had the dog all prepared to go." Corum said his guess was that the case was thrown out because "it would cause such a circus up there" in the courtroom. State orders Butler jail to close Assoclatad Pratt MORGANTOWN, Ky. The Butler County jail has become the latest in a series of Kentucky county jails to be told it must permanently close. Jailer J. W.

Brooks said yesterday that his jail will have to close at noon tomorrow because it failed to pass a state inspection, he said. Clayton Ratliff of the state Corrections Cabinet said the 100-year-old building lacked a secondary exit did not have approved smoke detectors or an adequate fire alarm. Judge in Henderson denies Sam the dog his day in court Associated Prats HENDERSON, Ky. Sam, a 100-pound German shepherd, won't get his day in court after 'all. His owner, John Corum, was to appear in Henderson District Court today to answer charges that he was harboring a vicious 'animal.

Corum was cited by a Henderson police officer as a result of a complaint by Helen Samples, a school crossing guard who said Sam often frightened children by barking and snarling at them.
