Four Cleveland area officers were wounded in a tense gun battle with three suspects after a kidnap attempt escalated into a hostage situation at a East Cleveland home. One officer remained in critical condition. two others were listed in fair condition. The incident began when Andrew Jackson, 39, was kidnapped by five men on Fourth Avenue. Jackson escaped, and three suspects later forced entry into the O’Brien home, prompting a staged barrage of tear gas and a lengthy standoff with about 100 officers arriving from Cleveland and East Cleveland police. The two fleeing suspects were at large. Authorities called the episode drug related.

Three Jaworski aides quit over ITT deal blame

Joseph Connolly quit last Friday, Richard J. Davis replaced him, and Lawrence Hammond and Paul Hoeber also stepped down. Hoeber leaves early next week, Hammond remains through mid August, as focus remains on Kleindienst’s confirmation hearing and ITT conduct linked to the 1972 Republican National Convention financing offer.
