A8 CALGARY HERALD June 29, 1991 Third former priest guilty of sex abuse Starr bound jmu. ---4 for jai intelligent man who showed no signs of perversion. Other residents, including the victims, remembered harsh beatings and frequent sexual abuse. Cameron ordered a stay of proceedings on two counts of gross indecency and found Burke not guilty of another charge of gross indecency and one of indecent assault. Burke is the third man to go to trial for abusing boys at the orphanage.

Stephen Rooney, of New Denver, B.C., and Harold Thome, of St. John's, each were sentenced to six years in prison last month for sex-related offences. The scandal erupted more than two years ago after a former resident complained about abuse while he was a boy in the mid-1970s. Five other men have trials scheduled over the next several months. Christian Brother Edward English is currently before the court on 20 counts of sexual and physical abuse.

ST. JOHN'S, Nfld. (CP) -Former Christian Brother Joseph Burke was found guilty Friday on four counts of abusing young boys at Mount Cashel orphanage in the 1970s. Burke, 42, a burly, red-haired man, began to shake with anger and dismay as Justice Margaret Cameron read her verdict. The Vancouver teacher had faced eight charges involving four boys but was found guilty on just three of indecent assault and one of assault causing bodily harm.

He will be sentenced July 2. Defence lawyer Brian Casey failed in an early bid to have all the charges against Burke dropped because it took so long to lay them. He also argued that publicity surrounding the scandal at the St. John's orphanage would prevent a fair trial. During the trial by judge alone Casey relied on evidence from colleagues, doctors and some former residents of Mount Cashel who painted Burke as a caring, NATION IN BRIEF Giri, 5, dies in a submerged truck WINNIPEG (CP) A five-year-old girl died and her four-year-old brother was clinging to life Friday afternoon after both spent about an hour in the cab of a pickup truck submerged in the Red River.

The children were in the truck when it apparently rolled about 150 metres down a hill into the water. "I understand that they were with their father and he was probably doing some business at the boatyards," said police Insp. Bill Friesen. Fire department spokesman Ron Hamel said it took divers more than an hour to find the truck in the murky water. It was found under 10 metres with its doors locked and its windows rolled up.

Payment sought for Soviet defectors CORNER BROOK, Nfld. (CP) Continuing defections from a Soviet factory ship off the province's west coast could prove costly for the vessel's captain. In the past two weeks, 42 sailors have left the Professor Baranov, one of three Soviet ships anchored off Corner Brook to buy capelin from Newfoundland fishermen. The latest defections came Thursday night when three sailors jumped off the vessel and began swimming to shore. They were picked up by a fishing boat.

Capt. Mikhail Tikhonenko said Friday the sailors have broken their contracts and left him in a bind. Immigration officials want him to pay $2,000 for each defector a total of $84,000 before he can sail for home, he said. Two killed, police start manhunt BLIND RIVER, Ont. (CP) A man posing as a police officer shot and killed a man and woman at a picnic ground Friday, sparking an intense hunt for the gunman, provincial police say.

Gord McAllister, 62, was in stable condition in hospital. Police said the McAllisters were sleeping in their trailer near the Trans-Canada Highway when the man began the robbery attempt.

Starr, 48, showed no emotion as she was escorted out of the courtroom after receiving two six-month terms to be served concurrently on charges of fraud and breach of trust. The former president of the Toronto section of the National Council of Jewish Women and onetime chairman of Ontario Place pleaded guilty Thursday to the charges. "This case is a tragedy to Patricia Starr and to the community," Judge Ted Wren told the Ontario Court's general division as her friends and family watched.

"She brought not only embarrassment to the National Council of Jewish Women, but put at risk their credibility in appealing to their constituency for their continued personal and financial aid." Starr's daughter darted from the courtroom in tears when she heard her mother was going to jail. Starr, who travelled in political circles before the fund-raising scandal erupted, was to spend the weekend in the Metro West Detention Centre and STARR: Guilty of fraud likely be transferred to Vanier Centre for Women in nearby Brampton next week.
