AP Photo Free Press Staff Writer A chance meeting in a crowded Lincoln Park restaurant between two brothers and a bar bouncer touched off a chain of events that led to the shooting death of one of the brothers by an off-duty sheriff's deputy, officials said Monday. Joseph Broome, 29, of Taylor, was shot to death in the Copy Cat II 24-hour deli early Sunday by Wayne County Sheriff's Deputy Kenneth Crowley, 35, police said.

FAMOUS DELUXE OSCILLATING II" FAN "Store 6' By JOE SWICKARD Free Press Staff Writer James Edward Glover and Jeannine Lynn Clark were ordered Monday to stand trial in Recorder's Court in the bizzare sex murder and mutilation of Robert Beckowitz. The couple waived pre-trial examination, i Glover, 37, is charged with second-degree murder, mutilating a corpse and using a firearm in the commission of a felony for the July dismemberment of Beckowitz at a house on the 1 9300 block of Woodbine. Clark, 21, is charged with the mutilation of Beckowitz, her one-time boyfriend. Police say the couple photographed each other over a three-day period as they sawed and cut apart I Beckowitz's body and arranged the severed parts in various poses. Pictures also depict the couple perf erm- ing sexual acts with the mutilated body.

Beckowitz had been shot in the head and stabbed more than 80 times before the dismemberment. THE PETITE, red-haired Clark, wearing blue jeans, a red jersey and moccasins, sobbed and wept as she stood before Detroit District Judge Wendy Baxter and said she was prepared to stand trial on a charge of mutilating a corpse. Clark, speaking in a barely audible choked voice, said, "I'm all right," when Baxter asked whether she needed time to compose herself. Originally Clark was being held as a witness. But last Thursday, she was charged with mutilation, a felony carrying a 10-year maximum sentence.

Monday, Assistant Prosecutor Timothy Kenny said that Clark, on parole for a Downriver bank robbery, is no longer being held as a witness against Glover. She remains in Wayne County Jail under $100,000 bond. Kenny said there has been no decision on whether Clark and Glover will be tried together or separately. CLARK GLANCED occasionally at Glover when he was taken into the courtroom, but did not try to speak to him. He was limping heavily on a cane and wearing a curly wig to cover his head which is decorated with a snake and other tattoos.

He also told Baxter he wanted to forgo the preliminary examination and move on to trial. MAKES! 19" COLOR TVS AMFM STEREO 11 twitch ft i try.

The law has led to the release of about 1,800 inmates in the past two years. Under the two-year-old law, Michigan must reduce its inmate population to 12,588 95 percent of the capacity of its 12 prisons and 13 corrections camps within 90 days. A fourth emergency can be automatically declared if the prison population is not down to specified levels in the 90 days, according to Corrections Department spokesman Cal Goddard. THE STATE'S first crowding emergency was declared a year ago May, releasing some 900 inmates. A second emergency was declared this May, when 900 more prisoners were freed up to 90 days before normal parole.

Monday marked the end of the 90 days under the May emergency. As of Monday, the prisons held 13,104 inmates, 516 more than allowed by law, Goddard said. The agency hopes to have enough inmates screened and freed under supervision before another emergency is declared, he said. Only inmates with indeterminate terms are freed early under the act. Prisoners serving life terms or flat sentences for a set number of years are excluded from early parole.

Corrections Director Perry Johnson blamed the crowded conditions on Proposal a ballot issue approved by voters in 1978 prohibiting the department from rewarding well-behaved inmates with early release.
