A federal jury listened intently and several courtroom spectators wiped tears from their eyes as the 78-minute conversation between Mrs.

Singer and FBI agent Cal Clegg was played during the federal trial of Mrs. Singer and three family members. The defendant and Clegg spoke on Jan. 16, hours after an explosion ripped through the Kamas Stake Center in Marion and state arid federal agents began surrounding the 2V2-acre Singer farm a mile away. Mrs.

Singer, her son John Timothy Singer, clan leader Addam Swapp and his brother Jonathan are charged in the bombing and a subsequent 13-day standoff that ended in the death of a Utah corrections officer. The church was bombed following a divine revelation, Mrs. Singer told Clegg, and was meant as a sign from God that "he's going to bring the collapse of church, state and have given our lives to God and we have given this whole battle into his hands and he has promised us that hell fight our battles for us, and that's good enough for me," Mrs. Singer said in the tape. "It's just something that was revealed and it's actually a sign to these people that these things are beginning now.

The Lord will come out of his hiding place against church, nation and ful, strong and valiant people left when the Lord gets she said. A lighter moment surfaced when Clegg, an FBI hostage negotiator, asked if he would be taken captive if he went to the farm to talk to the clan. "Well, are you a good cook?" Mrs. Singer asked. The statement drew laughter and smiles from the jury and spectators.

Mrs. Singer, 44, covered her face with her hands and giggled. The courtroom fell silent when she spoke of the pain the family endured at the hands of neighbors and officials, whom she blames for the 1979 slaying of her husband, polygamist John Singer, and for allegedly trying to drive the family away by diverting a stream from their farm. Singer was shot to death in the driveway of his home by law officers serving arrest warrants stemming from his refusal to send his children to public schools and for harboring the children of his second wife's ex-husband. "You can't imagine what I've gone through.

You don't know the letters. You don't know the pains. You don't know the things we've gone through forever and to brick walls to people that can't hear," Mrs. Singer told Clegg. The conversation with Mrs.

Singer occurred an hour after a 19-minute telephone conversation between Clegg and Addam Swapp, 27, who accidentally contacted authorities at their command post in the bombed church's parking lot, Clegg testified. SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Four Navajo men were arrested in southern Utah on Friday in the December slay-ings of two Navajo tribal police officers believed to have been trying to break up a desert drinking party, authorities said. U.S. Attorney Brent Ward said the four were residents of Monument Valley, a reservation town in southeastern Utah, near the Arizona border, where they were arrested. Arrested first were Thomas Cly and Marques Atene, both 22.

They were brought to Salt Lake City and arraigned late Friday before U.S. Magistrate Ronald Boyce on charges of first-degree murder on an Indian reservation and aiding and abetting.

The maximum penalty for the murder charge is life in prison, Boyce told the defendants, adding, "You should keep that penalty in mind in determining what action to take in this matter." Boyce said Bedoni and Ben Atene Jr. would appear before him on Saturday and the four faced a Monday afternoon detention hearing.

Bureau of Indian Affairs agents and Navajo police officers. Bedoni was arrested Friday afternoon, some 24 hours after arrest war-. rants for the four had been issued.

The case was heard Thursday. "In some large, unabridged dictionary, one of the last definitions is to break wind," Brewster said. But that meaning is so obscure that it wouldn't offend anyone, he said. Webster's New World Dictionary defines petard as a metal cone filled with explosives used in ancient warfare to blow a hole in a wall or gate, or a firecracker. The reference notes the word's derivation from a French root meaning to break wind or bounce.

And it lists the idiom "hoist with one's own petard," meaning to be destroyed by the very devices meant to destroy others, was used by Shakespeare in Hamlet. Brewster noted his Merrjam-Web-ster paperback dictionary lists only the explosive definition and added that his Larousse's French-English dictionary assigns the vulgar definition to a French word spelled "petarde." state of Oregon hoisted with its own petard for characterizing his vanity license plate as a Franch Vulgarity. "I think it's kind of silly," said Bill Brewster, a heavy equipment salesman from Shady Cove. "It's not offensive to anybody and it's wasting a lot oftime." The dispute stems from a state law that prohibits license plates that carry "words or connotations that are sexual, vulgar or that relate to excretory functions or intimate body parts." Last January, Brewster received a letter from the state Motor Vehicles Division demanding he return the license plate that has graced his silver 1978 Mercedes for the past five years. The license plate carries the word PETARD.

"In the French language, PETARD has a connotation that falls into the description quoted above," said the letter from William Seely, a manager at the Motor Vehicles Division.
