Unabomber suspect’s trail
leads to bomb region
HELENA, Mont. — A hotel em
ployee said Sunday he saw Unabomber
suspect Theodore Kaezynski in Sacra
mento, Calif., several times in recent
years — an account that places the
hermit in the region where the
Unabomber’s last four bombs were
mailed.
Frank Hensley, a desk clerk at the
Royal Hotel, next door to the bus de
pot in downtown Sacramento, told The
Associated Press lie saw Kaezynski in
the neighborhood or staying at the
hotel almost annually during the last
live years. He stayed at the hotel two
or three times, usually in the late spring
or summer, Hensley said.
“If it wasn’t for all this, I’d be
expecting to sec him about now,”
Hensley said, referringto Kaezynski\s
recent arrest.
FBI spokesman Paul Bresson re
fused to comment on Hensley’s ac
count.
Federal investigators tracking
Kaezynski’s movements are trying to
learn how the former math professor,
who had no visible means of support,
could get to other states where the
Unabomber’s bombs were mailed or
left.
They reportedly are checking
whether he rode buses to those states;
two bus line employees in Montana
told the AP that Kaezynski was a pas
senger numerous times.
Kaezynski, 53, was taken into cus
tody at his cabin near Lincoln, Mont.,
on Wednesday and is being held with
out bail in a Helena jail. He has been
charged in federal court with posses
sion of bomb-making materials.
The charge is intended to keep
Kaezynski in custody while investiga
tors build a case against him for the
Unabom attacks that killed three people
and injured 23 in nine states over the
past 18 years.
Meanwhile, the painstaking search
of Kaczynski’s 10-foot-by-12-foot
cabin continued Sunday. FBI spokes
man George Grotz said investigators
were combing the cabin and the sur
rounding forest.
The cabin search already has turned
up a partially completed pipe bomb,
bomb-making chemicals and compo
nents, and notes on making bombs.
One law enforcement official said a
typewriter found in the cabin appears
to be the one the Unabomber used to
type his 35,000-word manifesto and
letters. Another said investigators
found and defused a live bomb in the
cabin on Friday that they believe was
intended for someone in particular.
Hensley said FBI agents approached
him in March, showing him
Kaezynski’s photo.
“I recognized him right away,” he
said. “1 remembered his face.”
Hensley said Kaezynski stayed at
the hotel two or three times in the late
spring or early summer, and his stays
lasted no longer than a week. He said
he didn’t recall the years he stayed in
the hotel.
“I could tell he had at least been
through high school,”he said.“He was
quiet and intelligent.”
Hensley said FBI agents collected
registration cards from the Royal and
three other hotels in the neighborhood
under the same ownership.
Theagcntswercscarchingthe Royal
records for a guest registered by the
last name of Konrad, Hensley said. He
said they did not explain why.
r reemen negotiator not optimistic
JORDAN, Mont. — As the stand
olTbetween anti-government Freemen
and FBI agents neared the end of its
second week on Easter Sunday, one of
the negotiators said he was not opti
mistic about a quick resolution.
“It ’sa very, very volatile situation,”
said Montana state Rep. Joe Quilici,
who has met with Freemen representa
tives twice, along with three other leg
islators. “Right now, I can’t be opti
mistic. It’s so deep and complicated,
it’s hard to get a handle.”
Quilici said some minor progress
was made in negotiations Thursday
and Friday, but he would not discuss
specifics.
“Tilings are better than they were
when we got over there,” he said in a
telephone interview from his home
Sunday.
Quilici said Freemen leaders and
the FBI would decide when and if talks
would resume.
Easter services at St. John’s
Lutheran Church included prayers for
the Freemen and the law officers who
have been stationed outside their com
pound since March 25.
The Rev. Helen Young asked God
to“turn(thc Freemen) from their ways,
to the peace and mercy you proclaim.”
“These are just some ofthe people
who have contacted me in the past two
weeks offering their prayers,” Young
said, holding up two pages of type
written names.
After days of activity, the com
pound was quiet Sunday. A mother
and her daughter left Friday night, and
on Saturday, two cars carrying rela
tives of the Freemen were allowed to
visit.
About 20 men, women and chil
dren are believed to be barricaded
inside the Freemen compound. Neigh
bors have said the group has stock
piled weapons and enough food and
supplies to last months.
The standoffbegan March 25 after
federal agents arrested Freemen lead
ers LeRoy Schweitzer, 57, and Daniel
Petersen, 53.
About a dozen of the Freemen on
the compound face state or federal
charges, ranging from writing bad
checks and impersonating public offi
cials to threatening to kidnap and mur
der a U.S. district judge.

Serbs may face aid cutoff
over detained prisoners
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Hcrzegovina
— Bosnian Serb officials submitted
files on 16 suspected war criminals but
have not complied with all interna
tional demands concerning prisoners
of war, the top civilian administrator
in Bosnia said Sunday.
The statement from the office of
Carl Bildt did not say whether the
Bosnian Serbs would be banned from
a crucial donors’ meeting in Brussels
starting Friday, which could cut them
off from desperately needed recon
struction funds.
Bildt, who is in Tokyo, will make
the final decision on who will be in
vited to the conference, organized in
hopes of raising $1.1 billion for urgent
projects in Bosnia this year to supple
nient up to $700 million already raised.
The U.N. Security Council, Bildt’s
office, NATO and many Western gov
ernments demanded the release by
midnight Friday of all prisoners not
indicted by the U.N. war crimes tribu
nal.
If prisoners arc not indicted or held
for further investigation, they should
be freed, Bildt’s deputy Michael
Steiner said, adding that he expected
decisions on indictments within a
month.
Bildt’s office said Sunday that the
prisoners detained by the Bosnian
Serbs are still being held in different
locations rather than a central facility.
In contrast, the Bosnian Croats and
Bosnian government have met all the
conditions, the statement said.
