The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, October 23, 1979-Page 5 FRA TERNITY HOUSE, CAR DAMAGED Parked car spurs racial clash By TIMOTHY YAGLE An illegally parked car in the Phi 'Delta Theta fraternity led to property 'damage and verbal confrontation bet- -ween fraternity members and several ibacks who were attending a party at the Trotter House next door early Sun- )day morning. Due to what Ann Arbor Police called 'a lack of adequate parking space in the 4rea, John Williams and Carl White, both 21, parked their cars in the Phi Delta Theta driveway just after 3 a.m. ",There were guys hanging out top floor -vindows screaming, 'no niggers! No niggers allowed!'," White said. He said fie told them he was going to the party "nd would return in about five minutes. ;ACCORDING TO Phi Delta Theta Treasurer Ray -Villeneuve, "the guy (White) ignored pleas" from several Phi Delta Theta members to move his -are because it was parked in a private driveway. According to one witness, White returned a few minutes later and found the right front tire of his 1971 Malibu complete flat with smashed eggs all tover the car. He then screamed, "Look Wahy they did! Look what they did!" 'Many of the more than 200 persons at te party came outside and saw what happened to White's car. Judd Lofchie, president of Phi Delta Theta, said he thought the situation might get out of 4%and, at that point so one member of the fraternity called the police. n) SIX ANN ARBOR Police cars arrived at the scene around 3:15 a.m. followed y a pair of Washtenaw County Sheriff's patrol cars acting as backup , nits. Members of Phi Delta Theta and persons who were at the party began xchaning verbal threats and yelling rgscenities at each other although no physical violence was observed. While Lofchie and White were Weogitating at the top of the driveway in the presence of Ann Arbor Police a gasoline can was hurled at the frater- nity hosue from the direction of the trotter House and smashed a ground floor window, according to witnesses. Lofchie said persons at .the party also B ishop confesses to 18 murders befWe death 'LAS VEGAS Reuter) - Jesse Bishop, the tough-talking gunman executed yesterday in the Nevada gas chamber, confessed to about 18 other Vhurders in death cell interviews with his judge and a detective. . The murders came to light when Judge Paul Goldman, who sentenced him to death, went to the state prison to investigate Bishop's allegation of inhumane conditions on Death Row. Goldman said yesterday: "I found the conditions weren't so bad, and Bishop admitted they weren't, and then we had a long talk. '"IN THE COURSE of that talk he told me he had killed several other people and had no remorse except for the last one, David Ballard. He said that was tdifferent from the others . . that he hadn't meant to kill Ballard, but had meant to kill the others.' The killing of Ballard, a oneymooner who tried to stop him from robbing a Las Vegas casino, was he murder for which the 47-year-old Bishop was sentenced to die. Goldman notified the Las Vegas >olice department, which sent iomicide detective Chuck Lee to inter- view Bishop. THE INTERVIEW took place in mid- ugust, but it was only by promising ot to reveal its contents until after 3ishop's death that Lee was able to get the information. 3 In a press conference yesterday, Lee $aid Bishop claimed he had killed 17 or 8 people since 1954, most of them in teturn for payment in drugs, money, or >oth. Twelve of the killings were in outhern California and a few were in he Midwest. "They were snitches, informers, eople Bishop felt had it oming. . . people who had burned riends of his" Mr. Lee said. Bishop described details of only one, n which he hid in the back seat of a vic- im's car and shot him in the head. Despite the confession, police of- icials said they were not sure if the in- formation would help clear up any un- olved cases. Lee and Goldman both said they were nclined to believe Bishop's confession. 'The fact that he didn't want the infor- nation revealed until after his death .nt some credibility," said Goldman. = wA I smashed two of the fraternity's win- dows. Loflchie offered to pay for the damage to the car, although he said that didn't necessarily mean a frater- nity member was responsible for the damage. BY JUST AFTER 3:30 a.m., the par- ty had broken up and people were driving away while police were trying to keep the situation calm. There were no arrests and no reported injuries. Just under two hours prior to that in- cident, University students Fred Gutermouth and his Oxford House, roommate Rich Bloomfield, both 19, were walking along S. University towards Oxford when Bloomfield said they were approached by two black males in their early 20's who tried to mug Gutermouth. " When Gutermouth refused to give the pair any money, Bloomfield said one of the blacks picked up a rock roughly seven inched in diameter and struck Gutermouth and then ran toward Trot- ter House. Bloomfield said a couple who was walking by ran and called the police. As soon as police arrived, Bloomfield and an officer went inside Trotter House, he said, but did not find the assailant. Bloomfield said he then took his roommate who appeared dazed and couldn't remember what happened to University Hospital where he was admitted and released yesterday. Charles Carter, a witness at the par- ty, said, however, that Guermouth ap- proached Trotter House to sell an un- specified amount of marijuana. Carter siad the potential buyer thought the pot was too cheap to buy so he threatened to take it. He added Gutermouth wanted payament for it, so an argument en- sured and the guy then hit Gutermouth in the face with the rock.
