i Jackson Sun Thursday, June 20, 2002 Arizona fire forces evacuations By ROBERT WELLER The Associated Press As many as 4,000 people were ordered out of their homes Wednesday as a windwhipped wildfire exploded to nearly 19,000 acres as it leaped from treetop to treetop in the mountains of eastern Arizona. Authorities ordered the tiny towns of Linden, Pinedale and Clay Springs evacuated, said Kartha Icenhour of the ApacheSitgreaves National Forest. The fire is about 110 miles northeast of Phoenix. The news came as federal prosecutors in Colorado charged a U.S. Forest Service employee with arson in the largest fire in the state's history.

The Arizona fire had been burning on 600 acres early Wednesday before winds sent it racing through thousands of acres of juniper and pine trees. Officials feared it would soon bear down on the three hamlets, and smoke could be seen in Show Low, a community 20 miles away from the flames. "It's smokier than you would ever believe outside," said Linda Parrish, owner of the Show Low Flower Shoppe.

8-12 3056 Bells Hwy. 664-1582 Grand jury weighs case against Law By DENISE LAVOIE The Associated Press BOSTON A grand jury is looking into whether there is enough evidence to bring criminal charges against Cardinal Bernard Law and other church leaders in the sex scandal that has engulfed the Boston Archdiocese, a law enforcement source said Wednesday. The grand jury, convened by Massachusetts Attorney General Thomas Reilly, has been investigating for weeks whether the cardinal and other leaders broke the law by quietly shuffling priests accused of molesting children from parish to parish, where they still had contact with youngsters. A law enforcement source who spoke on condition of anonymity confirmed the grand jury investigation. "We respect the right of the attorney general to pursue the investigation with any means that are appropriate," said Donna M.

His favorite parable was "THE RICH MAN LAZARUS" spokeswoman for the Boston Archdiocese. However, legal experts said the investigation probably will not lead to charges. Reilly said state Law laws on conspiracy, obstruction of justice and being an accessory to a crime would make it difficult to prosecute someone for putting another person in a position to commit a crime. Also, Massachusetts has no law requiring the reporting of a crime. In addition, the statute of limitations on some offenses has run out, Reilly said.

Also Wednesday, attorneys for 275 people who claim they were molested as children by 20 priests said they would initiate talks with the Boston Archdiocese aimed at settling the lawsuits.
