ACCORDING to a Boston
police detective testifying at
the murder wial of Anthony P.
Clemente, Clemente refused
to accept blame for the mur-
ders of four principals of a rival
mob and instead accused the
police: “You (the police)
should have stopped (the feud)
a long time ago. You guys gor
snitches. You should know
what's going on. The (police)
"department's partiy responsi-
ie."

The San Jose Mercury News
reports that Eric Abrams, for-
“: mer star placekicker for the

Stanford football team, has
been hired to work with the
_ San Jose State University base-
“ ball team as a public relations
assistant.

Abrams pleaded guilty in
. 1996 to making harassing

‘phone calls, which the prose:

> cutor said were in cunn<ccon

‘with Abrams’ scheme to obtain
nude photographs of high
school athletes by telling them
he was doing a physique study
for college sports recruitment.

NEWS OF THE
WEIRD

at her husband, but nothing
happened except a click.

According to police, Alaniz
then took the gun from his
wife, released the safety, and
handed it back to her, admon-
ishing, “If you're gonna shoot
me, you gor to do it right.”

Her next shot missed him,
but the second one hit him in
the back, sending him to the
hospital.

The New York Times report-
ed recently on the dispute
berween Bob Manning, now
60, and the New York State
Workers’ Compensation Board
over payment for Manning's
pans lysis, which occurred when

fell headfirst off a utility
pole in 1962.

Manning has required 24-
hour medical care for 35 years
but has yer to receive his
almost $2 million in awards
from the employer's insurance
company because of disagree-
ment over whether Manning’s
wife, who is a registered nurse,
can be paid for caring for him.
Utilities Mutual Insurance Co.
says it has no obligation to pay
until all its appeals are setiled.

Gary Arthur Medrow, then
47, made news a few years ago
when he was arrested
Milwaukee for i impersonating 2
police officer over the tele-
phone as he carried out his
locally well-known obsession
of calling up a female and con-
vincing her to physically pick
up another female in the room
and carry her around.

By 1991, he had been
arrested more than 30 times
over the previous 23 years.

Last month he was charged
with 24 more counts in
Milwaukee Country. A typical
ruse, said police, was to tell a
woman that she had been spot-
ted at an accident scene hero-
ically carrying a victim to safe-
ty, and when the woman denies
that she is the heroic woman,
Medrow talks her into role-
playing the accident scene.
