1 (I I 1 I A I A ,..4,,,: Pikrit "iri ,,4 .1 i It. i 0:, A 0: A 23-year-old Spokane man admitted in Superior Court today that he made and placed a pipe bomb which exploded at a Safeway Store July 13, and that he threatened to explode a larger bomb if he weren't paid $10,000. The defendant, Guy Myron Rutherford, learned how to make pipe bombs in prison, Judge Donald N. Olson was told. After Rutherford pleaded guilty to charges of second-degree arson and first-degree extortion, Olson sentenced him to consecutive prison terms of not more than 10 years on each count the maximum possible punishment.

Pointing out that someone could have been injured by the pipe bomb which exploded, Olson said, "this shows a disregard for the lives of others, the safety of others, and the property of others. Its going to take a substantial period of time before we can be assured that you are a safe person to be in the community." Chief Criminal Deputy Pros. Atty. L.C. Kinnie provided Olson with this account: On July 13, at about 2:38 a.m., a pipe bomb exploded in a stack of fertilizer sacks outside the Safeway Store at W2501 Wellesley, causing a fire and some damage to the building.

Police and FBI agents put the store under surveillance, and at 11:40 a.m., the store's manager received a telephone call from the defendant, who demanded $10,000 in used bills and promised a larger explosion, this one inside the store, if he weren't paid. At 2 p.m., Rutherford called the store again and told them they could find a note at a specific spot on the store's shelves. The note said, "A matter of life or death. Have the 810,000 cash in used bills for delivery tonight. Do exactly what I want or people inside will die." A series of telephone calls from the defendant gave instructions as to how, where and when the money should be dropped off.

Under heavy surveillance by other officers, a policeman drove a car around Spokane on July 15, following instructions on signs and notes Rutherford had left. Eventually the offic er found a sign in the area of Pettit Drive telling him to tie the money bag to "the rope." The officer couldn't find a rope, so he left the bag by the sign. But the bag was not picked up, and officers retrieved it. Later, Rutherford called and said he would "try again." on July 16, Rutherford called the Safeway Store on North Division and directed employees to a note hidden in the store. Following instructions on that note and successive notes and in a call placed to a specified telephone booth, a policeman carrying the demanded money drove from place to place around town.

Ultimately, the officer was instructed to leave the money at a gate near Riverside State Park. He did, and the defendant appeared and picked up the bag. A policeman ordered Rutherford to halt, but he ran. The officer fired a shot and missed. Rutherford ran, and numerous officers who were hidden in the area converged on him and apprehended him about 300 yards from the gate.

Rutherford gave a full confession, saying he built the bomb in the basement of his home at E537 Lacrosse from gunpowder and other materials he purchased at various Spokane stores. Kinnie also told Olson that Rutherford at age 16 was prosecuted as an adult, in Superior Court, on charges of first-degree assault and attempted robbery, for which he was sentenced to prison. Rutherford now is on parole from prison, Kinnie said. Public defender Richard Cease told Olson that Rutherford "is a fairly talented young man in many areas but for some reason he seems to have a talent for trouble."

Quoting the biblical admonition, "The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away," Sorensen told the crowd: "This is what happened to our variable gas tax." Murphy, praising the interstate system, which he said is 26 times safer than other mainline non-interstate routes, estimated 80,000 lives have been saved since 1956 because of the national freeway network. "Today many of our younger children can't remember just how bad old U.S. Highway 10 was, and I'm sure many people of my generation would just as soon forget the good old days and enjoy driving east and west on today's modern Interstate 90 freeway." 21121 MI 'emit DESK The "EXECUTIVE" CHAIR By Coto 9825NE SCUIPTIMS VAT A RACK nus--vormstous potturrnum FOAM SEAT PANS ARM ihe- 0 Il a 3 E5 2 ORE. ok '94' -9 The "EXECUTIVE" 4 i I CHAIR 40 .4 -1; 'Iv By Cole 9825NE 1, P144'144400 11,. -0 DESK SCULPIVIS VAT A SEX Itnswrvastous POINTIVIANI FOAM SLAT PADDO AM 1 I i' .14,, 1 -t, I 11.

Officials of both states joined at the state line today to open formally a 5.5-mile section of Interstate 90 that will bypass Post Falls, Idaho. Including right-of-way aquisition, the Idaho highway project has cost an estimated $12.5 million since 1973. It eliminates the traffic light that has posed both an inconvenience and a safety hazard for traffic, which, until now, has been routed along U.S.

Sharing the dignitaries' stand with him on the westbound bridge over the Spokane River were transportation officials from both states and the federal government. "This $10 million freeway will greatly relieve the heavy traffic congestion and the monumental traffic hazard that have plagued the City of Post Falls for many years," Murphy told about 100 persons who gathered at the site. Speaking over blustery winds and the rumble of traffic across the eastbound bridge, which opened last week, Murphy and other speakers praised the work that went into the project and stressed the need to complete the rest of the federal interstate system. Opening of the Post Falls bypass leaves two stretches of 1-90 to be completed in Idaho's 74-mile section of the coast-to-coast route. The others, said Murphy, are at Wallace and a five-mile stretch from Silver Beach at Coeur d'Alene to the Blue Creek Bay Bridge.

The latter, said Murphy, a former state legislator from Wallace, has been held up because of environmental considerations. Howard Sorensen, Ellensburg, a member and former chairman of the Washington State Highway Commission, used the occasion to discuss a nagging Interstate 90 gap in the Washington system. Sorensen said it will be necessary for Washington voters this fall to reject a ballot measure that would repeal the state's new variable gasoline tax if the freeway is to be completed between In 'PI Violations Alleged PLASTIC TUBE TINT NIL 4.95 SAL! 2.49 Mt REG. $32 1--itn9s 1-111 SPECIAL I 7 LEVEL WINO TROLL CIt 621 LW BY 0111APK GEAR RATIO 3.0:1 LINE CAPACITY 320 yd. 12 Lb.

According to Latenser there are a number of specific instances where such opportunities now exist. "I choose not to bring them out until after the filing period ends," he said.

Candidate filing concluded this afternoon. Latenser, when he announced his campaign, stated he has had bad experiences trying to convince city officials to accept proposals that are more cost-effective than those developed by the city staff. cast journalist "There's been a lot kept from us," he said. "There are a lot of things we can't find out about until after it's happened." Latenser stressed the need to measure performance of city government in terms of cost-effectiveness and what he said he calls "unit-pricing" but others might term zero-base budgeting. "We must always provide the framework of opportunity for the individual to outperform government," he said, repeating the phrase three 110 t70 00 1000AL ITO Sr) 00 IPtam $200 I i 4 1 11.

The committee heard from former television newsman Ron Bair and from professional engineer James S. Latenser.

The talks were part of a series of discussions with mayoral and city council candidates. Repeating the theme he aired when he announced his candidacy, Bair said he would promote more openness in city government if he is elected. "The No. I issue In this campaign is trust," said Bair, claiming that he has won Spokane citizens' confidence during 13 years as a newsman here.

Shari, 28, formerly of Keller, guilty of one charge of conspiracy to commit bank robbery. But he was judged innocent of a charge of armed bank robbery and the lesser included offense of bank robbery. Lionel G. Coolidge, 28, Davenport, was convicted of being an accessory after the fact to armed bank robbery, the lone charge against him. The jury, which received the case Monday, returned its verdict at about 5:15 yesterday.

Jurors appeared deadlocked Wednesday and at one point Judge Marshall A. NeW, who heard the case, indicated he was prepared to declare a mistrial. But the panel resumed its deliberations after Neill read a modified "Allen instruction" asking jurors holding the minority viewpoint to reexamine the reasoning behind their opinions. Asst. U.

S. Atty. Seaton M. Daly who prosecuted the case, said Scharf could receive a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Because the jury determined that the incident was an armed bank robbery, Coolidge faces up to 1212 years in prison and a $5,000 fine, Daly said.

Court-appointed attorneys for the defendants, Rifler E. Deg low for Coolidge and Robert H. Whaley for Sharf, said they planned to move for a directed verdict of acquittal and also for a new trial. Judge Neill ordered presentence investigations for the convicted men and scheduled sentencing for 1:30 Aug. 29.
