Hearing For Teen Continued By SCOTT BURNSIDE Tennessean State Correspondent HOPKINSVILLE, Ky. A hear-, Jng for a 14-year-old girl accused of murdering her grandmother was continued for 60 days yesterday, reportedly to allow a psychiatric examination of the teen-ager. Christian County District Judge Peter MacDonald granted the continuance at the start of a hearing on whether Patty Flemming, 14, should be tried as a child or adult Both Assistant County Attorney James G. Adams and Public Defender Denise Regan declined to comment on the reason for the continuance, but one county official said the the hearing was continued until the teen-ager could undergo a psychia-' trie exam. MacDonald ordered no information to be made public in the Juvenile Court case "due to the confidential nature of juvenile proceedings." Fleming is accused in the April 5 slaying of her grandmother, Ruth N.

Tinsley, 65, and injuring her mother, Nancy Fleming, by shoot-; ingherinleg. The teen-ager is charged with murder, attempted murder, theft by unlawful taking of over $100, and first-degree robbery. She is accused of forcing her injured mother at knifepoint to write her a $40 check. Fleming fled the scene in her stolen grandfather's car. She was apprehended the following morning in a rural section of Christian County-Air Illinois Halts Flights, Blames FCC CARBONDALE, III.

All of the Wayne County sheriffs deputies and employees will be laid off next month unless the County Commission approves more money for salaries, Sheriff Larry Simmons said yesterday. The County Commission rejected Monday Simmons' request or $9,000 of his budget to be transferred for use in salaries and for an additional $4,500 from general revenues.

It approved Simmons' request for $4,800 that the sheriffs office had gener-' ated for the county's general fund. One commissioner said he believed the commission turned down Simmons' requests in a 7-6 vote "because he's been stepping on the wrong toes," including the arrests of one commissioner, another commissioner's husband and another commissioner's son within the past year. Hickman Farmers Seek Deer Kill CENTER VELLE, Tenn. (UPI) Hickman County farmers, saying they have losses of up to 75, have asked the county's state legislators to endorse a resolution allowing them to kill deer out of season. Sol Rial, spokesman for farmers, said some farmers have lost $8,000 in crops to hungry deer.

"The Constitution guarantees people the right to protect their property, and we feel that right has been taken away from us," he said Monday. He said up to two weeks is required to obtain a required state permit to kill deer caught damaging crops. Proposed legislation would allow farmers to kill deer on their property without the permit County officials agreed to send the resolution to state Sen. Frank Lashlee, D-Camden, and Rep. Walter Work, D-Burns.
