Thomas Sorenson, village president, said he feft the governor's decision to reconsider was caused by public clamor. Grove residents, he said, were very upset when the Dover site was singled out as a priority site. Michael Mohrbacker, Grove village trustee, said he was pleased with the governor's plan to discard the list but wondered where the second prison would be located.

Union Grove, he said, will never be interested in a prison. However, Dreyfus said, although the Division of Corrections had been considering two prisons he thought the state might need only one. "I intend at the annual review session to come in with a site," he said. "I will accept the responsibility for selecting that site for a mediummaxium facility. Right now I'm looking at one facility I'm not personally convinced we need one.

"I will go to the Legislature and ask the following: 'I want the power of condemnation, the power of overriding zoning and the power to override the Wisconsin Environmental Protection Dreyfus continued. If he is able to achieve those requests, Dreyfus said he expects a site will be selected by spring. sin-Parkside and the Bong Recreation Center were among the final nine up for consideration. The 10th site at Ethan Allen School in Wales was eliminated because of hilly terrain. Protesters complained the prison would reduce property values, upset local zoning laws, increase the cost of municipal services, and create fear among residents of convicts escaping.

State Sen. John Maurer, D-Kenosha, said Dreyfus' decison to discard the list was a "splendid Idea." The sites should never have been considered unless the state was sure the communities were supportive, he said. He speculated the governor would seriously consider building the prison in Waupun where residents said they would welcome another penitentiary. A state prison is already located in the city. Besides Waupun, communities asking for consideration as prison sites are La Farge and Jackson County, both in west central Wisconsin.

Maurer also suggested both prisons could be built in Waupun since the community is receptive to prison facilities and the state owns enough land in the area. Alan Guskin, UWVParkside chancellor, said he was contacted by Dreyfus Wednesday who informed him that the college was no longer being considered. The chancellor said he was "pleased and delighted" with the decision. Union Grove public officials who fought By Marc'a Watknj Journal Tlmat Staff Prison opponents are elated with Gov. Dreyfus decision to begin a new prison selection process and scrap the nine sites slated to be good locations for building two state prisons.

"I made the decision to absolutely wipe them all off the screen," Dreyfus said in a Milwaukee press conference today, adding he would personally make the decision on where to build. The governor said he planned to make his decision in time for the Legislature's 1980-81 budget review session. I After meetings with Health and Social ices Secretary Donald Percy and other officials on the progress of the prison site selection, Dreyfus said he concluded the selection process was too long. "The best answer I can get is that continuing this process as it is, we could be as much as five years down the line, because of delays, and because of the studies themselves." Paul Swain, Dreyfus' policy aide, said the governor was concerned with vehement protests from property owners, environmentalists and politicians opposed to a prison near their communities. The Division of Corrections had studied 10 sites in southeastern Wisconsin where It wanted to build a mediumminimum and a maximum security prison.

Since then, Milton Perry, curator for the historical site, has employed a variety of research methods poring over books, talking to elderly residents, even digging up the outlaw's original grave in an effort to separate fact from trivia.

"I'm not sure what we could come up with that would have any credibility, but we thought it would be fun to get a group of people (with psychic powers out at the farm and se what they could come up with," Perry said. The psychic idea was inspired by a phone call to Jack Wymore, owner of the Jesse James Bank Museum in Liberty, from a California woman last January. She told Wymore she'd received a message from Frank and Jesse James. "I don't hang this thing up with a pooh-pooh because there's too damned much we don't understand," Wymore said. "It's hard to understand the special powers that some people have.

Parks Director Stephen Davis asserts he's serious about his plan to use a psychic to ferret out information from the county's most infamous son. "It Just might be a stupid thing to do but, then again, who knows what we might learn," Davis says.

Davis admits it will take a real pro in the psychic business, since the famous outlaw has been dead 97 years. He's looking for someone with extraordinary mental abilities who might be able to contact James through a visit to the county-owned cabin near Kearney, Mov where James was born in 1847. His psychic search has been less than successful, so he released word this week that he's on the lookout for someone in the contact business.

"He had me go in one day and scream as loud as I could," Filipski said, "to see if he could hear. He said he could do whatever he wanted in there with Blanchie or anyone else."

After that, in late 1976 or early 1977, she said iey moved to the Sheridan Road residence where Blanchie Penna was killed in August. Once, she said, Dalton used his movie camera to film such sexual acts, and she poked a hole in his closet so he could peak into the bedioom of a neighboring apartment.

"I said to take her home," Filipski testified. "I didn't want to have any parties. He said he wanted one." The next time Filipski saw the victim, Blanchie was in a bedroom, bound and gagged with handcuffs on, she said. Using handcuffs was a common practice for Dalton, she and Karen Dalton testified. "Larry told me to go in and talk to her," Filipski said, her voice wavering.
