i3 "URDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1993DETROIT FREE PRESS A 4-, 4 TVT TTVT'TV Suspect in tourist lolling recently released from jail r. 1 i Commuters driving on a bridge across Lake Washington in Seattle this week could look across to the empty lanes of a floating bridge, due to open this weekend. It is the final piece in the Interstate 90 freeway system, stretching more than 3,000 miles between Seattle and Boston. The bridge is built on 25 floating concrete pontoons. Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle said her office would vigorously prosecute the cases.

Homicide Sgt. Gerald Green said Jones was hiding in a closet in her Liberty City public housing complex, which police surrounded Thursday. Friends brought her food as officers combed the area. Early on Friday, police pulled back from the complex, trying to lure Jones out. She left the complex and later was arrested in a house.

Green said the people who aided Jones could face charges. Once she was arrested, Detective Carlos Avila said, Jones confessed to her involvement in Rakebrand's murder and admitted pulling the trigger. Little information on Hudson was being released Friday night. Jones, Wiggins and Hudson apparently went out late on Tuesday hunting for tourists to rob, investigators said. If BYLUISAYANEZ Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel MIAMI Two weeks ago, as Patsy Lakisha Jones sat in a Broward County jail cell, she neatly penned a letter to a judge.

Jones, 20, vowed to uphold herself. "I just need another chance in the world," she wrote. She got that chance Sept. 3, after Broward County prosecutors dropped felony robbery and weapons charges against her, leaving only a misdemeanor theft charge and freeing her from jail. 'atsy Jones On Friday morning, Jones joined boyfriend Ricon-dall Wiggins, 19, to face charges of murder and attempted armed robbery of a German tourist early Wednesday morning.

Police also arrested Alvin Hudson, 19, on the same charges Friday. As Wiggins rammed his leased Ryder truck into a rental car on an expressway, police say, Jones waved a sawed-off rifle at the car and fired, instantly killing driver Uwe-Wilhelm Rakebrand, 33. Police said Hudson was in the truck, but wouldn't disclose what role he played. yi i i GARY STEWART Associated Press EtfJ8 I Floating bridge finishes interstate mcrrj sl road Work Associated Press This weekend's opening of Seattle's Lake Washington bridge, the symbolic last link in an interstate freeway stretching more than 3,000 miles from Boston to Seattle, is part of 104 miles' worth of interstate construction jobs being wrapped up nationwide.

The bridge and accompanying projects also complete one of the last gaps in the country's interstate freeway system and represent a shift in emphasis from new freeway construction to moving more people on existing roads. "It's kind of the ending of an era of interstate building," said Bill Dues, Seattle assistant district administrator for the state Department of Transportation and former 1-90 project manager. The Lacey V. Murrow Floating Bridge is the last major part of the $1.56 billion 1-90 project, which includes a tunnel, retaining walls, and bike and pedestrian trails on the section of freeway connecting Seattle to its eastern suburbs.

Construction should be completed in 1996. The span officially opens Sunday. About 7,000 runners and 130 wheelchair athletes will take part in the "Wheels Heels of Fire" race across the bridge today. The bridge carries the three east-bound lanes of 1-90 between Seattle and Mercer Island.

The hired gun is Phil Noble, a Charleston, S.C., political consultant who also is running for lieutenant governor in that state. What the Canadian Conservatives Lite is the down-to-earth style that helped Bill Clinton win the presidency last year. "Our new leader's style is very similar to Mr. Clinton's in the sense that she has a casual personal style, she likes to react individually with voters speak to them on a one-to-one basis," said Randall Pearce, spokes- i man for the Progressive Conservative Party.

"There was an extraordinary effort to recover from it and here we've got the replacement bridge really a year ahead of where we originally thought," Dues said.

Congress, which pays for 91 percent of the cost of interstate highway projects in Washington state, approved money for the replacement bridge. The interstate system has changed significantly since it was created by the Federal Highway Act in 1956 at the urging of the Eisenhower aaninistration. Under the 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act it will be expanded to include other state and federal highway routes for a total of more than 150,000 miles of road, said Tom Pettit, highway engineer for the Federal Highway Administration in Washington, D.C. Emphasis has shifted gradually from construction to maintenance, and under the 1991 act to other forms of transportation as well. The new act puts more emphasis on trains and buses and car pool lanes rather than new freeways; Dues said.

"We're trying to move more vehicles and more people in the same space," he said. FEELING FRUSTRATED WITH CABLE TV?
