parking lot.

Suicide Gully.

Miller was fast seen by friends at

5 p.m. on Sunday.

A search party reached the lost hiker at 5:45 a.m. the

following day.

Miller was not injured in the incident.

A North Shore Rescue team spokesman said hikers
shuuld not take short-cuts in low cloud conditions,
especially when they are unfamiliar with North Shere

mountains.

Many members of tie volunteer rescue team had com-
pleted a full weekend of search and rescue exercises in
Lions Boy when they were calied out on Sunday to

rescue the hiker.

1970 major drug sting, the

region’s largest drug bust at the
time. °

largest :

A total of 24,000 tablets were
seized, including a quantity in
Friedland’s camper van.’

Justice Department officials in
Washington told the local news-
paper the investigation, which

started with drug agents in Miami,

netted the largest. drug haul ever in
New England.

Friedland and a fellow student
negotiated with a body-wired
agent the previous day, settling on
$10,300 U.S. for the 8,000 tablets.
Street value was estimated at
$125,000 U.S.

Friedland was ccnvicted of
“unlawful disposition of drugs,"
the equivalent of ‘‘trafficking" in
Canada, on Feb. 8, 1971,. and
sentenced to two years in a federal

_ prison one week later.

The trial judge told Friedland,
“You gave no thought to the
consideration for others, but only

for. the large amount of money.

you could have obtained. The
court is satisfied you were the
principal in this affair and that
you took the Jeadership role.”

Friedland appealed on the
grounds of entrapment, but his
conviction was upheld. ;

The conviction record has since
been expunged by the courts in
terms of a criniinal record.

Meanwhile, in court earlier this
week, Shapray ‘referred to the
drug conviction as. ‘private in-
formation which is ancient history
— 24 years ago, as a teenager,
when a juvenile’ and “‘irrelevant
to his current life, as he has
reformed to a position of pro-
minence.”’

Court: affidavits confirming in-
formation regarding the drug case
were unsealed by McEachern on
Tuesday.

Ironically, the legal wranglings
have ultimately only served to ig-
nite public and media speculation.
