3, APR 251582 ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH April 25, 1982 5C Man Gets 6-Month Term In Jailbreak Conspiracy 13 Pet. Decline Reported In Major County Crimes Homosexuals Jittery Over Three Killings By Edward H. Kohn Of the Post-Dispatch Staff A man who pleaded guilty of conspiring to help an inmate escape from the St. Clair County Jail in Belleville has been sentenced to six months in jail and a fine of $3,000.

Douglas Drummond, 39, of Glencoe, was sentenced on Friday by U.S. District Judge Edward L. Filippine. Judge Filippine recommended that Drummond serve the sentence in a St. Louis County work-release program.

Drummond operates a painting company. The judge also put Drummond on probation for five years when he is released from custody. Drummond faced a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a fine of $10,000. Drummond pleaded guilty last week of conspiring to help Inmate Terry Increases were posted in robbery, up 15.1 percent to 214 from 186; and assault, up 29.8 percent to 214 from 186. There were six homicides in the period in both 1982 and 1981.

Major crimes totaled 6,737 in 1982 and 7,735 in 1981. A total of 3,922 crimes were reported in 1982 and 4,105 in 1981. Arson showed a 42.6 percent decline in the areas patrolled by county police, to 35 from 61; robbery was down 7 percent to 53 from 57; and assault was down 22.5 percent to 117 from 151. Homicides decreased 16.7 percent to five from six. Burglary was up in unincorporated county areas 4.8 percent to 1,328 from 1,267.

Corbett escape from the jail in Belleville. In a taped-recorded conversation, Drummond described Corbett as a close friend. Corbett, 32, of Ferguson, also has pleaded guilty of the conspiracy. He is to be sentenced next Friday. On Thursday, disbarred lawyer Robert H.

Wendt, 39, of 5 Westbury Lane, Webster Groves, was found guilty of joining the conspiracy. He will be sentenced on May 14. Corbett and Wendt also face maximum sentences of five years in prison and fines of $10,000. Before Drummond was sentenced, he told Judge Filippine: "I realize the seriousness of this crime. It's a mistake I can't redo." At the time of the conspiracy, Corbett was being held in Belleville on marijuana-possession charges.

Major crimes in St. Louis County municipalities declined nearly 13 percent in the first three months of 1982, compared with the same period in 1981, new figures show. Major crime in unincorporated areas of the county patrolled by St. Louis County police declined 4.7 percent, statistics compiled by the county police Bureau of Planning and Research show. The greatest decrease in incorporated areas was in arson, which was down 55.7 percent, with 31 in 1982 and 70 in the same period in 1981.

Other crimes showing a decrease in municipalities were burglary, down 27.5 percent to 1,797 from and rape, down 6.9 percent to 27 from 29. Gay News-Telegraph, a monthly newspaper with a circulation of about 8,000. Homicide Detective Sgt. Herb Riley, who is directing the investigation of the Rogers killing, said cooperation from homosexuals had been exceptionally good. Riley said he was confident that the case would be solved.

Detective Colin McCoy said the Kennedy investigation had been "really quiet." But he said homosexuals were actively assisting by passing on information and talking to people who were reluctant to talk directly to detectives. Cusick said some homosexuals who may have information pertinent to the investigations may still be hesitant. He said he had met with some people who refuse to talk to police for fear of derision. Joe Murray, a spokesman for the Media Access Group, said fear of police was ever present. "Gay people are generally very intimidated by the Police Department," he said.

Cusick said intimidation was responsible for more than one robbery or assault daily in Forest Park going unreported. Sections of Forest Park are notorious as meeting places for homosexuals seeking what Cusick termed "anonymous sex." Both the Gay Hot Line and the Gay News-Telegraph list Forest and Tower Grove parks as places where homosexuals meet. But these sources warn of the dangers of violent assaults in the parks. Despite fears by homosexuals about police, Murray and Cusick praised the homicide detectives' handling of the recent investigations in the city and county. In the county, Detective Dave Ventimiglia said informants had helped by trying to pinpoint Green's habits and companions.

But his colleague, Detective Len Reinhardt, warned that it was likely that the Green case would go unsolved without more assistance from homosexuals. Jim Thomas, editor of the Telegraph, acknowledged that no evidence existed connecting the cases. But fear prevails anyway, he said. "Ours is a community that is constantly victimized by a fear of violence or loss of jobs," Thomas said. By Jan Paul 01 the Post-Dispatch Staff Homosexuals In the St.

Louis area are looking nervously over their shoulders these days because three men that gay groups say were homosexuals have been killed in the last six weeks. That apprehension has resulted in unprecedented cooperation between organized homosexual groups and police, authorities say. Police said they welcomed the cooperation because without inside information from homosexuals the three killings may never be solved. The three unsolved killings are: Robert Kennedy, 36, a regional official with the American Association of University Professors, was found slain March 15 in the bathroom of his apartment in Montclair on the Park, 18 South Kingshighway. He had been strangled and the apartment ransacked.

He apparently knew his attacker. Sources say Kennedy belonged to the Gay and Lesbian Media Access Group and Black and White Men Together. Robert Rogers, 32, was stabbed March 29 near the Art Museum in Forest Park. Minutes later, he stumbled into the administrative office of the Zoo and told clerks that a man had stabbed him. He died later.

His wallet was still on him. Rogers worked on the Lesbian and Gay Hot Line, sources said. Army Capt. Bernard Green was found slain April 11 in his Spanish Lake apartment more than 24 hours after neighbors reported a disturbance. He had been stabbed.

Police said he apparently knew his attacker. Sources said Green led a "socially closeted life" and did not belong to any homosexual organizations. Detectives said no evidence had emerged so far that linked the three killings. But that has been of little comfort to homosexuals. Concern that the killings could be more than coincidental recently led members of seven homosexual organizations to make an unprecedented public appeal to homosexuals to cooperate fully with police in the investigations.

The plea resulted in four calls to the Gay and Lesbian Hot Line 367-0084 and other tips to homicide detectives, said Tim Cusick, a reporter for The JJ DRU0 Dependable Quality Prescriptions ri, That Can Save You Up To 50 rif 1 VKA' Why pay more for just a name, when the quality is the same? 1 Ask our pharmacists how generic drugs can save you money.
