Unmarked cars containing men who appeared to be undercover agents and police were stationed at curbs throughout the neighborhood. As noon approached, four FBI agents walked out onto the porch. The crowd turned to face them. About two minutes past noon, the agents looked up over the back of the crowd.

The journalists turned quickly to look behind them. There, walking up Bixel Street with a young woman, was Edward Leigh Hunt Jr. Without his shirt, he looked perhaps deliberately exactly like the young man in the photograph. In the chaotic 30 seconds that because he had read an article about it in The Times. "I'm sorry about the problems I have caused," the letter said.

"It's nobody's fault but mine. See ya soon." Once again, FBI agents declined comment, other than to say that, like everyone else, they would be waiting at the Chamber of Commerce on Saturday to see what happened. By 11:45 a.m. Saturday, at least 50 members of the news media had gathered in front of the offices, which, as usual on a Saturday, were closed for business. Yellow police tape served as a barricade across the front entrance, separating the news media and curious bystanders from the GET ORGANIZED!

"I will turn myself in to the police on January 20, 1990, at noon at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. I'm saying, 'Yes I did it I screwed up I'm sorry about the crime and I beg forgiveness." Enclosed with the letter was a photograph of a young man in a bathing suit climbing out of a swimming pool. The FBI said the letter appeared to be in Hunt's handwriting and the photograph appeared to be a picture of him. However, agents declined to say whether they believed the money was gone and whether Hunt would turn himself in. Then, two days ago, the editors in Wilmington received a second letter.

"Just a reminder; on Saturday I will be turning myself in to police," said the letter, which the editors said appeared to be in the same handwriting as the first. The latest letter said Hunt knew the first letter had been received Pregnant Woman, 12 Others Hurt in Freeway Crash By JOCELYN Y. STEWART TIMES STAFF WRITER Thirteen people, including a pregnant woman and six children, were injured Saturday afternoon when a car skidded out of control on the Hollywood Freeway, causing an eight-vehicle pileup that left freeway lanes blocked and traffic clogged on surface streets for an hour, authorities said. The accident occurred about 3:20 p.m. on the northbound 101 just south of the Lankershim Boulevard off-ramp.

Four fire companies and five ambulances responded. A woman who was four months pregnant was thrown from the back of a pickup truck that flipped over, city fire spokesman Pat Ma-rek said. Sonia Rivas, 29, was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was listed in guarded condition, hospital spokesman Ron Wise said. The 12 other victims, including six children, received minor injuries. Four were taken to hospitals and released.

The others were treated at the scene. The accident was caused by a blown-out tire, California Highway Patrol Officer Robert Bruce said. "The driver overcorrected and threw on his emergency brakes, causing him to skid out of control," Bruce said. The car skidded across all lanes of the freeway. The accident caused traffic to back up on the northbound lanes of the Hollywood Freeway and on nearby surface streets.

All northbound lanes and the Lankershim Boulevard off-ramp were closed for an hour and a SigAlert was issued. Once a year, our entire stock of Chinese furniture and accessories goes on sale.

Agents said the young woman, who passed through the crowd unnoticed by most members of the news media, was questioned and then released. The agents declined to identify her. In his first letter, Hunt spoke of a girlfriend whom he identified only as "Ellie." A few minutes later, handcuffed and still shirtless, Hunt was hustled out the back of the building, into a waiting car and driven away.
