LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) Five fires in west side churches that have predominately black congregations were the work of arsonists, but no motive has been established, investigators say. "In a couple of cases, a flammable liquid was used to get it started. In the others, some scraps of wood and paper were set," Fire Department Capt. Mike Brown said Tuesday.

"At this point, we have no reason to believe this is anything but random acts of vandalism," Brown said. Not everyone shares that theory. "If it's random vandalism, then why aren't white churches burning?" asked Mattie Jones, a member of the Louisville-based Kentucky Alliance against Racism and Repression. "I think this is serious. I think it needs to receive the same intense examination that the letter, bombs down South are getting," she said.

Bombs have killed a federal appeals court judge and a lawyer active in civil rights cases. Another bomb was sent to an office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People but didn't explode. "We've found some racist literature recently in Portland," a neighborhood just north of Louisville's predominantly black west end, Jones said. "And we know there's a group active in town called the Aryan Sis Mother of suspect says she was unaware of pregnancy Lilian Wells FLATWOODS Lillian Wells, 84, died at 5:10 p.m. Tuesday, Jan.

Two sons, one daughter, one brother and one sister also preceded her in death.

MEYERSDALE, Pa. (AP) The mother of an 18-year-old woman charged with killing her newborn said she saw her daughter hours before she gave birth and never suspected the teen-ager was pregnant. "She's quiet," Darlene Broadwater said. "She kept everything to herself. All she had to do was open her mouth and say, 'Mom, do you want a I'd have taken it.

I'd have fed it. I'd have given it a home." Tammy Lynn Sanner of Meyersdale was arrested Monday and charged with criminal homicide. She was being held without bond. Her baby, born the day before Christmas, was found Saturday in a grocery bag in an alley. An umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck.
