Hazleton Standard-Speaker, Saturday, March 23, 1991 Trial Metro Weston, renowned area athlete and teacher Sharon in the state title game, 34-22. Weston continued his athletic career at Villanova on an athletic scholarship. He played varsity basketball and was also a talented baseball and softball player.

He was a familar figure to generations of Hazleton High athletes. Flynn said he lost his virginity to Smart after they watched and re-enacted parts of the erotic movie "9Vi Weeks." She denied re-enacting anything. The most damaging evidence against Smart were four secretly recorded conversations she had with Cecelia Pierce, 16, her student-intern and confidante. The profanity-laden tapes made after the murder show that Smart urged Pierce to lie to police, that she feared being jailed herself, and that she knew her husband would be murdered. Asked what was the deciding evidence in their verdict, one juror, Charlotte Jefts, said, "The tapes.

They told the truth." Another juror, who spoke on condition of anonymity, referred to Smart's steely demeanor and passivity during the trial that earned her the sobriquet "Ice Princess." "She was just too cold for my: taste," the juror said. "It seemed like she had answers to everything. T. 1 1 I John Corrigan John J. Corrigan, of 819 Front Freeland, died Friday at 5:30 a.m.

Smart testified that she broke off the affair just before the murder. Prosecutors said Smart feared losing everything in a divorce, including her Shih-Tzu dog and furniture.

The defense called Flynn and two confessed accomplices "thrill-killers" who shot Smart on their own last May 1, then framed his widow to avoid life prison terms. In plea bargains, they face minimum sentences ranging from 18 to 28 years. Testimony was broadcast live by WMUR-TV in Manchester. 77ie Boston Herald, which dubbed Smart, the "Ice Princess," invited readers to "be the judge" by calling in their verdicts on a 900-number. They voted guilty, 543 to 101.

Storms (Continued from page 1) "Right now there are some people unaccounted for," Greer said. Logan County Deputy Coroner Dale Shields identified the victim as Timmy Shoemake, who was visiting his grandparents when their mobile home was picked up and slammed against a tree.

Everybody was trying to find their people. "Where it crossed Highway 45 there was a residential area," he said. "It was impossible to go in there, except on foot. One highway patrol sargeant had gone in on foot and got his family out. His house was destroyed." David Wolfe, an operations officer with the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency, said another death was reported in Lewis County, about 70 miles northeast of Selmer.

"I heard that it was an infant," Wolfe said. "That's all I've heard." He said a tornado was reported to have touched down near Hohenwald, the Lewis County seat. Java (Continued from page 1) purchased at prices fixed up to a year ago. Stevenson said the stockpile totals about 6.4 million bags, each containing 132.3 pounds of unroasted beans. In addition, the price of unroasted coffee beans is just one component in a total coffee price that also includes processing, shipping and marketing costs.

"We could find this is a tempest in a teacup," said Stevenson. "It means there need not be an immediate anxiety on the part of trade to the Brazilian announcement." Stevenson said the Brazilian suspension would have to last at least three to four weeks before its effect is felt on U.S. prices. Proctor Gamble maker of Folgers coffee, would only say it was closely watching the Brazilian suspension and had not decided any price strategies yet. "We cannot react to a hysterical market going in all directions at once," said Dr.
