Two Americans Slain On Honduran Border
In Tegucigalpa Nicaragua denied responsibility for the killing of two American journalists, Dial Torgerson and Richard Cross, whose car was hit by an anti-tank shell near the Honduran border. Honduras accused Nicaragua of a cross border attack while Managua blamed U.S. and Honduran support for insurgents. The Sandinistas said no attack on Honduras occurred and condemned the deaths as a monstrous crime. President Reagan expressed deep regret and a White House statement honored the slain journalists. The area was declared high danger as authorities warned locals and a ceremonial tribute was held at the air base.

Bond Set For Three In Gordon Kahl Case
A federal judge set bail and a tentative Aug. 22 trial date for three of five people implicated in harboring fugitive tax protester Gordon Kahl. The defendants Russell Utley and Ed Utley face bonds of 100000 each, Irene Utley 25000, with the Ginters and Leonard Ginter also charged. Kahl, 63, was killed in a 1983 shootout with Sheriff Gene Matthews near Smithville, Ark, after allegedly fleeing a February 13 fatal shooting of two federal marshals in North Dakota. The indictment accuses the five of protecting and aiding Kahl between February and May and transporting him from Russell’s home to the Ginters’ residence. If convicted, charged parties face up to 10 years and a 10000 dollar fine, with Mrs. Utley potentially facing up to five years and a 5000 dollar fine.
