12-A '11II WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1995 GALVESTON COUNTY, TEXAS SPECIAL REPORT: OKLAHOMA CITY BOMBING 'John Doe 2' may have help Witness recognizes suspect in enhanced sketch The Associated Press WASHINGTON The FBI released an enhanced sketch of the mysterious "John Doe No. 2" Tuesday and a witness promptly said he remembered him a man speaking broken English. Investigators worried that "like-minded people" might be helping the bombing suspect elude one of the biggest manhunts in history. Identifying the suspect from the new FBI sketch as it was shown on television, the manager of the Great Western Inn in Junction City, said John Doe No. 2 checked in about 8:30 p.m.

on April 17 driving a Ryder truck. The FBI has said a Ryder truck rented that day in Junction City was used to deliver the bomb to a federal building in Oklahoma City. "He spoke broken English and he was not 100 percent American," said the hotel manager, who would not give his name and who himself spoke with a heavy accent of the Indian subcontinent. The new sketch, based on additional interviews with witnesses in Kansas, showed the square- jawed suspect wearing a baseball-style hat. The previous sketch showed a thick-haired man wearing no hat.

Frustration continued for the hundreds of federal agents seeking the suspect from coast to coast. The one man charged in the Oklahoma City bombing, Timothy McVeigh, has refused to cooperate, according to officials. And in a handful of locations around the nation, officers have arrested and then released men with the misfortune of vaguely resembling the first sketch of "No. 2." Often, their releases were based on the lack of an 8-inch tattoo of a snake or serpent that law enforcement officials have said was spotted on the suspect's upper left arm. So investigators began to retrace their steps Tuesday in the dragnet for the man believed to have been with McVeigh in Kansas when he rented the Rvder van.

(AP) Hateful talk leads to hateful action, some contend The Associated Press WASHINGTON A senator says the president had better not visit his state without a bodyguard. An antiabortion leader describes shooting abortion doctors as 'justifiable homicide." A radio talk-show host advises listeners to shoot at the head if attacked by federal agents wearing bulletproof vests. Too much wild talk, says President Clinton, who has been the target of an extraordinarv amount of hostilitv, more than most presidents. And not just Clinton.

These days the government and federal bureaucrats like those who worked in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City' are often pictured as.ene- mies of the people. With authorities convinced that home-grown haters were the bombing villains. America is debating whether hateful talk sooner or later leads to hateful action. Does the lunatic fringe take encouragement from harsh language or does Molly Ivins column, Page 14-A.

it listen only to its own inner voices? I don't know how to make the link," says Alan Brinkley, a Columbia University historian. "I do think it is plausible at a time when the federal government is subject to so much abuse. But it is impossible to prove that." But Rep. Andrew Jacobs, saw a link last year between radio talk- show chatter and the three attacks on the White House that occurred in short order last fall. "Use right-wing monopoly airwaves to preach hatred and practice character assassination against the president," said Jacobs, "and watch the bullets fly at the White House from unstable listeners or listeners to listeners." Some current domestic issues gun control and abortion especially stir strong feelings.

In Alabama, where an abortion doctor was killed in 1993, the Rev. David C. Trosch. leader Life Enterprises Unlimited, was thwarted when he tried to run newspaper advertise- ments calling such shootings "justifiable homicide." For his part, Clinton doesn't draw a direct link between harsh words and action. But he sees talk being used "to keep some people as paranoid as possible and the rest of us all torn up and upset with each other." His advice: Talk back.

"We have freedom of speech, too," Clinton said Monday, and a responsibility to speak out against "reckless speech and behavior." Woman who sent infamous fax doesn't understand the big deal The Associated Press DETROIT Libby Molley doesn't understand why the fax she sent to a congressman the day of the Oklahoma blast has generated so much attention. She suggested Tuesday that authorities should focus instead on those responsible for the tragedy. "We owe it to them (in Oklahoma to get to the real bottom of this," Molley said by telephone from the office of Wolverine Productions in Augusta, near Battle Creek in south-central Michigan. The handwritten facsimile that Molley says she sent to conservative Rep. Steve Stockman of Friendswood, on April 19 appeared to be a report on the bombing and had an 8:59 a.m.

time stamp. If that time is accurate, it would have been 7:59 a.m. in Oklahoma City, more than an hour before the 9:04 a.m. CDT bombing. It read: "First update.

Bldg 7 to 10 floors only. Military people Molley on scene Bomb threat received last week. Perpetrator unknown at this time. Oklahoma." The note created a firestorm of questions about how a Michigan production company could know about the bombing before it happened. Wolverine produces and sells videos by antigovernment militia activist Mark Koernke, who has been reported to be an associate of bombing suspect Timothy McVeigh.

Stockman said Tuesday he believed the note came to his office after the bombing. Molley said the fax machine at Wolverine had not been reset for daylight-saving time. She said she hastily scribbled and sent the note to correct false information that began to circulate immediately after the explosion. "We had information and we wanted the misinformation to she said. After the blast, the Wolverine office was flooded with faxes from militia members and others shocked by the incident, with one saying a 60-story building had exploded, Molley said.

She said another fax came from Oklahoma saving "seven to 10 floors only." She would not elaborate on the sender. "I in turn picked up a piece of paper and scratched down this note. It was no big deal," said Molley. a former chairwoman of the Orange County(Texas) Republican Party. The FBI visited the Wolverine office on Monday and talked with Molley and John Stadtmiller, she said.

Stadtmiller is co-host with Koernke of a nightly anti-government show on shortwave radio. "There was no search warrant; there was no raid." she said. "It was a cordial meeting." She denied broadcast reports that FBI agents removed boxes and other material. FBI spokesman Dawn Moritz would not comment Tuesday on any aspect of the agents' meeting at Wolverine. "We do not condone (the bombing) in any way, shape or form," Molley said.

But, she added, 'The more you mention us, the more you cause the strength to spread." UNIVERSAL LIFE WITH STATE FARM. LIKE A GOOD NEIGHBOR STATE FARM IS THERE.
