"They both adopted around 30 horses," Paul-hus said. "Originally the adopt-a-horse program was designed to nave one person adopting one horse. "We think that many horses constitutes a pretty large commitment, especially when you consider that the law says you've got to take care of them the rest of their lives and can't sell them or destroy them."

"That's not what the problem is," she said. Basically, we're con cerned with why anyone would want that many horses, especially since the law forbids tnem for any commercial pur pose." A SPOKESMAN for the air station said the horses were acquired for the base at Millington to provide recreation tor the men. The spokesman said 29 of the 30 adopted horses sur vived the trip to Tennessee from Nevada, the Hu mane Society said seven horses died in transit. Cooley said Monday night he and Dowden had planned to bring 30 horses Back from Oregon. One died before it was picked up, two died during the trip and eight have died since arriving Memphis.

Cooley said they brought the horses back to try to save as many of them as we could. We didn't want to go 5,000 miles and only get one or two. HE SAID he plans to raise, the foals from the mustangs.

Claudius I. (Bud) Vermilye, the Episcopal priest convicted in Franklin County last June on charges involving homosexual activities at the Boys Farm home for wayward youths he operated near the Alto community. The young man's car and wallet were found on a mountain road, but there was no trace of nim and his body has never been found. Authorities are not sure whether he is dead or alive. The latest search for the body was made after Ramsey received a tip from Lee Reeder, 21, a former Boys Farm resident serving a sentence for auto theft, who said he knew where the body was buried.

"THERE WAS no body found," Ramsey said. "There were no bones there was nothing. As far as I'm concerned, the investigation is closed." Reeder, who testified against the elder Vermilye during the June trial, was returned to prison Saturday after the search was abandoned. He led authorities on a similar excavation in Franklin County last August with the same results. "I SERIOUSLY qustioned the validity of the information," Ramsey said.

"But, as in any criminal case, we feel compelled to follow up on any investigative leads, whether credible or not." Ramsey said Reeder. who earlier claimed Bill Vermilye was murdered and buried in Franklin County, told authorities he had since learned the body was moved to DeKalb County. The elder Vermilye, who was sentenced to 25 to 40 years in prison, is free on 120,000 borfd while his case is being appealed.
