A-lV-Wednesday, Dec. 22, 1993 Sentinel I hires airesed for 'S1 areiwedl car mfofosxry The arrests came in the bungled robbery of the Loomis Armored Inc. warehouse in which gunmen killed three workers execution-style but had to drop the heavy bags of money and flee after an alarm went off. Young is in federal prison on unrelated charges and is expected to be transferred to Solano County soon. Brown, a janitor at Napa State Hospital, was arrested Monday.

Livingston and Brown faced three counts of murder, Paulson said. Prosecutors allege the murders were committed in the process of a second crime, robbery, which means the two could face the death penalty, although Paulson said he has not yet decided whether to pursue that punishment. Young, who has cooperated with authorities, faces two counts of murder. Police and relatives of the victims said they were relieved by ar rests, although they still grieved for the three victims, Dennis Ja-cobson, 29. and Alphonso Lontayo, 25, both of Vallejo, and Martin McCumber, 49, of Fairfield.

"It's said Police Chief Gerald Galvin, "but the fact that we got this thing done is important." R.J. Clemente, whose daughter was engaged to Lontayo, said the developments are "kind of a relief the system still works to some point." At the time of the robbery, Galvin indicated the victims were bound before being shot. Police said Tuesday they believe the killing of the third guard triggered an alarm they did not say how forcing the robbers to abandon their loot. The robberies took place at a Loomis warehouse where drivers drop off money collected on their runs for deposit in banks. Clemente said the murders were shattering.

"It just absolutely devastates your entire life," he said. "We were in a haze." Linda McCumber said she has been living "one day at a time," since her husband, Martin, was killed. Clemente said he always suspected that the robbery had involved someone with inside knowledge, so the arrest of a former employee was not a surprise. But McCumber, who had met Livingston socially, had not expected it. "I was shocked," she said.

The Associated Press VALLKJO Three men have been arrested in a bloody holdup at an armored car company nvo years ago that left three people dead, police said Tuesday. The suspects include a longtime employee of the company. The arrests came in the Nov. 13, 1991, bungled robbery of the Loom-is Armored Inc. warehouse in which gunmen killed three workers execution-style but had to drop the heavy bags of money and flee after an alarm went off.

More suspects are being sought, said Sgt. Ronald Becker. Arrested were Eugene Livingston, 38, who worked as a drivercustodian for Loomis until De- More state news D8 cember 1992, Thomas Durand Young, 29, and James Gary Brown, also known as Asad Shaheed Abdul Mohammad, 34. Police said they have long suspected Livingston and found a fingerprint matching Young's at the crime scene. All three knew each other, Becker said.

Livingston, currently living in Albany, was arrested by Valle-jo police and FBI agents on Saturday. He has indicated he will not agree to return to California to face the charges and extradition procedures are expected, said District Attorney Dave Paulson. Worker says CDF fired him for leaking report LAST MINUTE IDEAS! ENTIRE STOCK OF SWEATERS HOLIDAY INN SANTA CRUZ MIST FEASTS state that Williams had made sexual comments to her. Williams denied the allegation. CDF attorney Kevin Hoeke said after the hearing, which was continued to March 7, that there was no basis for Williams' allegation that he was fired for revenge.

CDF officials said Wardall was under instructions not to comment. Earlier this year, the Justice Department and the Resources Agency investigated Wardall's private business ties, which they said posed a potential conflict of interest in CDF's air tanker fleet. The Justice Department concluded the ties did not break the law. The Resources Agency has refused to disclose the results of its probe. The ties continued for six years after CDF warned Wardall to end his real-estate partnership with officers of three companies that had done business with CDF.

Wardall ended the relationships this spring, after The Associated Press began reporting on his partnership with the contractors and the two state agencies began their probes. The Associated Press SACRAMENTO A former air tanker maintenance supervisor accused state officials Tuesday of firing him in retaliation for leaking information that prompted investigations of the state's aerial fire-lighting program. Dennis K. Williams, 45, said in documents filed during an appeal hearing that his former boss at the California Department of Forestry, Wesley David Wardall, accused Williams of providing information that led to probes of CDF by the state Justice Department and the Resources Agency. Williams said he denied that he was a source during an encounter with Wardall in February but was told anyway by Wardall to "forget promotion." Williams, who has worked for the state since 1990, was fired in August on charges of incompetence.

During the hearing before a state Personnel Board judge Tuesday, the state added sexual harassment charges against Williams. Christine M. Murto, an employee of a state contractor, Serv-Air, told the Minority lawyers in SF rise The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO While the number of minority lawyers in San Francisco has risen markedly since 1990, subtle forms of discrimination still exists in the profession, according to a study. According to the San Francisco Bar Association, the number of minority partners in the city's nine largest firms rose from 21 in 1990 to 32 this year, or from 3.1 percent to 5 percent. The numbers were encouraging because the bar association had set a goal of 15 percent minority associates and 5 percent minority part- f.

"We aren't where we want to be, but we're a lot further ahead than a lot of people have given us credit for," said Raymond Marshall, the first black to head the 121-year-old association. But the study noted that one of the worst problems is the failure of senior white lawyers to recognize the obstacles facing their minority colleagues.
