He said he had not seen the papers, but had been told what they contained. Attorneys for the boy's parents did not return calls to their offices Thursday. A Children's Ser-vices spokesman said caseworkers are forbidden by state law to discuss cases publicly. In another development, the Los Angeles Times reported that videotapes siezed from Jackson's home did not incriminate the entertainer, nor was there other physical evidence to support the abuse allegation.

Seized videotapes showed Jackson in the company of young admirers, the newspaper said. "There's no medical evidence, no taped evidence," an unidentified source told the Times. "The search warrant didn't result in anything that would support a criminal filing." Weitzman also said he and Jackson's security consultant, Anthony Pellicano, met with police New First Full Last itnom Aug. 17 Aug. 24 Sept.

We agreed to keep on talking while they continue to investigate," he said. The allegations by the boy triggered a criminal investigation of Jackson by the Los Angeles Police Department, and officers served search warrants on Jackson's Santa Barbara County ranch and Century City condominium.

Jackson has denied wrongdoing and said through his private investigator that the case grew out of allegations from somebody who tried to extort $20 million from him. Jackson rejected the extortion attempt, the investigator said. In other developments, an 11-year-old Australian boy told a television audience he shared a bed with Jackson but said it was all in slumber party-style fun and that the megastar is no child abuser. "I was on one side of the bed and he was on the other. It was a big bed," Brett Barnes of Melbourne, Australia, told KNBC-TV late Wednesday.

Eddie Murphy sings in latest concert date The sign at the Stone Balloon club in Newark, says it all: "Yes, it's the real Eddie Murphy." The 32-year-old comedian will appear there today (Friday) not to act or tell jokes but to sing. "I haven't lost my mind," says Murphy, who has hired a nine-member band to perform 15 songs, most of them new Murphy compositions. "I'll be my charming, witty self, but that's not what this show's about." It's about a musical style Murphy calls "Psychedelic Psoul," which is also the name of his band, led by bassist Larry Graham, formerly of Graham Central Station and Sly and the Family Stone.

This isn't Murphy's first foray into popular music his single "Party All the Time" reached No. 1 on the pop charts. But that was inl985.

In investigative documents reviewed by The Associated Press on Thursday, the boy told Los Angeles County JACKSON Department of Children's Services caseworker Ann T. Rosato that he and Jackson had a four-month relationship that started with hugs and kisses and escalated into sexual acts by Jackson. "It really got out of hand," the boy told Rosato, according to one document. A source who acted on condition of anonymity supplied the documents to the AP.

That is what led us to the path." The Southport Rope and Rescue Team dressed in firefight-ing gear, harnesses and helmets climbed 225 feet down from the top of the hill to the ledge, where the couple were stranded. While the rescue was under way, a handful of people gathered across the river near the end of Larchmont and Evergreen avenues in West Elmira. Police were called to keep the onlookers quiet so they wouldn't disrupt communication between the stranded pair and their rescuers. After 2Vi hours of climbing and preparation, Southport Fire Lt. Brian May brought Cassidy safely down at 10:15 p.m.

by repelling the side of the cliff. "They were glad to see us," Southport firefighter Frank Cico-ra said. "They were great. They didn't panic and they joked around with us. Kerry said that she's never climbed before and she never will again.

At one point she slipped and I think she got shook up, but she was OK." Cicora said that the roughest part of the climb was getting the couple down. "The terrain was bad and the cliffs were mossy, so we had to work across in stages. The hardest part was getting them down because they were tied to us," Cicora said. The four Southport firefighters involved in getting the couple down were May, Cicora, Mike Correction The Elmira School Board on Tuesday approved the first reading of a proposed policy that would protect district students and employees diagnosed with the HIV virus or AIDS from discrimination.

"There's no excuse for what I did," Lakeberg told WBBM-TV news in Chicago late Wednesday. People who gave his family money are "probably disappointed and upset. Probably a little mad." Local fundraisers and contributions from around the nation put about $15,000 in two bank accounts for Amy and Angela, who were separated last week at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Amy died, but Angela remains in critical condition. About $8,000 from one of those accounts was used on meals, bills and a car to visit the twins while they were in a Chicago hospital, about 80 miles from their home in Wheatfield, Ind.

I lost control of myself," Lakeberg told WBBM.

"I used cocaine ana was drinking." Probation officer Brian Mathis says the TV interview could be used as evidence to revoke Lake-berg's probation, imposed for slashing a cousin with a knife. Lakeberg tested positive for cocaine use in an earlier drug test, prompting a hearing set for next week. "If he did indeed use drugs he could face one year in jail," Mathis said. "My impression is he definitely has a severe problem." No one knows what triggers the formation of conjoined twins, and experts say there is no connection to drug use. Conjoined twins occur once or twice every 100,000 births.

Michael O'Dor, Reltha Lake-berg's oldest brother, hopes the publicity won't deter people from contributing to a trust fund for Angela. Angela is "going to be the first one to go through this and live," O'Dor says.
