'Those of us concerned about diversity in society are concerned about what the court may do with these cases," Schwartzman said.

Manuel Antonio Noriega asked Monday for disclosure of secret information obtained from U.S.

electronic surveillance in Panama. The motion by Michael O'Kane, representing Panamanian pilot Daniel Miranda, asked the court to compel release of classified information from a telecommunications monitoring operation at the U.S. Southern Command. O'Kane, who attached a map showing what he said is called "The Tunnel," said: "It is believed that 'The Tunnel' regularly monitored Panama Defense Force communications and specifically telephone calls by and to those mentioned in this indictment." Meanwhile, attorneys for other Noriega co-defendants said Monday there have been discussions with prosecutors but "no deals." Noriega is in a special holding cell deep within the downtown U.S. courthouse, said sources who spoke on condition they not be identified.

U.S. marshals and even Noriega's attorneys refuse to say where he is. Noriega's attorneys, Frank Ru-bino and Steven Kollin, say they've been meeting daily with Noriega. Their first motions, which they don't expect to make for 30 days, will likely challenge the court's jurisdiction, the way Noriega was brought to this country after U.S. invasion of Panama and requests for government documents.

O'Kane said the U.S. government for years has had the capacity to monitor telephone calls in Panama City from the listening post, which he said is operated by the National Security Agency. He wants examined "the tapes, logs and any other information relating to any conversations or communications of any kind by and between any individuals in this indictment concerning the flight made by Daniel Miranda in 1983." The indictment charges that Miranda flew $800,000 in drug money from Florida to Panama in 1983. Other attorneys said there have been initial talks with Noriega co-defendants the government might want for witnesses. "There was a very preliminary exchange of amenities where the possibility of some settlement was discussed," said Samuel Burstyn, attorney for Luis del Cid, a former key aide to Noriega.

The New York Times, quoting an anonymous person involved in the planned move, reported in today's editions that the likely site for Noriega's future detainment is the federal penitentiary in Atlanta.

"But morally and ethically, there are different standards." Police are investigating whether insurance was a motive behind the crime. Stuart collected $82,000 on an insurance policy due his wife for her work as an attorney, and a search of the couple's Reading home has turned up another policy on her, according to various sources. Police reportedly also are investigating whether a romantic relationship between Stuart and another woman might have been a factor. family members and friends about the scheme. Matthew Stuart declined to comment on the case as he left the family home Monday, telling reporters, "I can't talk to you." Another brother, Michael Stuart, was questioned Monday at the Suffolk County district attorney's office.

His lawyer, Richard Clayman, said his client "broke no laws." Legal experts say the family members had no legal duty to contact police about their suspicions. "There is no obligation," John Dawley, who was Charles Stuart's PANAMA CITY, Panama (AP) Two of Manuel Antonio Noriega's top associates have taken refuge in the Peruvian Embassy, government officials said, and late Monday U.S. troops ringed the embassy grounds. The two are former Capt. Gon-zalo (Chalo) Gonzalez, commander of the Machos de Monte company that provided security for Noriega's headquarters, and former Lt.

Col. Luis (Paxpo) Cordoba, identified by Noriega's foes as one of the men who interrogated and tortured prisoners of the regime. Gonzalez and Cordoba are considered the most-wanted men on the list of former Noreiga officials sought by the U.S. Army and by Panama's new Security Forces since the U.S. invasion of Dec.

20 ousted Noriega. Also Monday, First Vice President Ricardo Arias Calderon said Panama's security force will include specialized military units, but they will not be big enough to threaten the government. The government also said it had sent a letter to Washington seeking U.S. aid. The Peruvian Embassy residence, surrounded by U.S.

soldiers at noon, remained ringed Monday night by a small detachment of troops. Foreign Minister Julio Linares said Cordoba was in the embassy. Another government source con-finned that Gonzalez, as well as secretary Marcela Tazon and her son, plus another high-ranking former government official, were in the residence. Linares said his ministry will ask the Peruvian Embassy and other embassies in Panama for official confirmation and identification of Noriega associates who had requested asylum. There was no immediate reaction in Lima.

The government said it was studying whether it would allow No- BOSTON (AP) A gun was stolen from the fur store where Charles Stuart once worked, adding another twist to the grisly murder hoax that police now say was not so cunning after all. The latest clue came Monday with confirmation that a revolver was stolen from the Edward F. Kakas Sons fur store where Stuart worked as a manager, and the gun might have been the weapon used to kill his pregnant wife and wound him. "I believe what happened with Chuckie, this was the doing of a sick mind," Pat Reardon, a cousin, said Monday. Stuart, 29, committed suicide last week after his brother Matthew implicated him in the crime.

Charles Stuart originally told police that he and his wife were the victims of a mugger who forced his way into their car Oct. 23 as they left a birthing class. Stuart's wife, Carol, died hours after the shooting, and their premature baby, Christopher, died 17 days later. Matthew Stuart, 23, told authorities last week that he took Mrs. Stuart's handbag, which contained the gun, from the scene and threw the items separately into the Pines River in Revere.

Divers have recovered the handbag but not the gun. Jay Kakas, co-owner of the fur store, told police that a revolver was stolen from the safe at the store, a representative of the store, who asked not to be identified, confirmed Monday. Stuart also had access to the safe, the representative said, and the Ka-kases thought to check the safe last week after police named Stuart as the prime suspect. Investigators have refused to comment on the disappearance of the gun. Other flaws also have emerged in what some officials said at first looked like a near-perfect crime.

Most notably, Matthew Stuart was apparently not the only person to know of his brother's involvement. He told his attorney that he told ir CLEARANCE riega's family safe passage to the Dominican Republic. His wife Felicidad, three daughters and son-in-law, a Dominican citizen, have taken refuge in the Cuban Embassy. Linares added that he "had passed the request for safe conduct to the Ministry of Government and Justice, and if there is no complaint against them they will get consent." Arias told reporters Panama's new security units will be limited to a few hundred people and will not be an army. "Panama is a country in the crossroads of the world and that presents several potential dangers," he said of the units.
