Assistant U.S. Attorney Peter Hall said Tuesday a "removal hearing" which he said was the federal equivalent of a state extradition hearing would be held for Mays early next week in Wyoming and "It's my understanding he will be coming to Vermont first."

The FBI also alleges that Mays, Barrett and a third person in August held hostage a Kansas Highway Patrol officer who tried to stop the motor home the three were driving -because luggage was falling off the roof. beries.

Barrett also was caught by police in Wyoming, the FBI said. Besides the Vermont bank robberies, for which arrest warrants have been issued, State Police Cpl. Peter Johnson said Tuesday police would like to question Mays about the brutal killing of a Jay couple in September 1984. The deaths of Roland and Maram Hanel are unsolved. Mays, 42, who was on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list, was ordered held without bail Monday.

Arrest warrants have been issued for Mays in connection with the Sept. 14, 1984, armed robbery of $16,012 from the Howard Bank in Orleans and the Jan. 23 armed robbery of $83,000 Lambert Hearing Delayed Waterbury Man Guilty of Larceny will receive credit for 92 days already served. Before being arrested, Sherman was confronted by the owner of the money and he returned $1,700, an affidavit stated. The owner then brought Sherman to the Milton Police Department, with Sherman's consent, the affidavit said.

A Waterbury man has been found guilty of grand larceny for taking approximately $1,850 cash from under a mattress in a trailer home in Milton June 23. District Court Judge George Costes this week sentenced Spencer B. Sherman, 20, to three to five years, all but 152 days suspended, under a plea agreement.

Albans Aug. 9, 1984. In June, she accepted a plea bargain and pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of involuntary manslaughter. The charge carries a maximum sentence of up to 15 years in jail. Franklin County State's Attorney Helen V.

Torino has said she will recommend a term of 12 to 15 years. However, a number of defense witnesses urged Kilburn last week not to imprison Lambert. They had few recommendations for what kind of sentence Kilburn should impose, while generally acknowledging that Lambert, at least initially, would need constant supervision. ST. ALBANS The sentencing hearing for Susan Ann Lambert, 29, of St.

Albans has been put off until Oct. 8 at 9 a.m. in Vermont District Court. The hearing, which began last Friday, was to have resumed this afternoon. Judge Ronald F.

VALUES, OUR TRADITION The University of Vermont is suing the Internal Revenue Service for close to $500,000, claiming it should be reimbursed for taxes it paid on behalf of employees who participated in a university pension plan.

According to the suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Burlington, UVM employees were allowed to exchange pay increases in return for the university's making an equal contribution into their pension fund. The contributions made in lieu of the future pay raises were not considered taxable income for the individual employee because the IRS did not consider the contributions as "wages." The university paid the IRS at least $461,801 from 1980 to 1983 in Social Security taxes on the contributions it made to the pension fund. However, the university now is seeking the return of the money because of a 1981 court ruling that said taxes should not be collected if the individual employees were not subject to taxation. In a response filed this week, U.S.

Attorney George Cook denied the IRS improperly collected the taxes from the university. Jo Joy, a Burlington attorney representing the university, said identical claims by other institutions were pending in other parts of the country.

Smith, 30, originally was charged with second-degree murder, but claimed the Dec. 30 shooting of Timothy Baker was in self-defense. He pleaded guilty to the amended charge Monday in Vermont District Court in Brattleboro, according to John Rocray, Windham County state's attorney. Rocray said Tuesday he lowered the charge because the state might have had problems proving the shooting was not self-defense because the details surrounding the shooting were sketchy. "My best witness is dead," Rocray said.

According to Rocray, Smith ordered Baker off his property after Baker allegedly assaulted Smith's girlfriend. The prosecutor said Smith and Baker were having an argument at the end of Smith's driveway when the shooting occurred. Smith claimed Baker lunged for his gun during the argument, Rocray said. Smith will face a maximum of 15 years in jail when he is sentenced. n99 Adjustable bow with 30" draw.
