Bragman and Steffan Trial Witness Focus on Swiss Accounts
Defense attorney Paul Shanahan pressed county Legislator Clarence Dunham on a 1978 proposal tied to the Krupp-Varro system. Dunham admitted a Swiss account idea and possible tax evasion, while maintaining the money discussed was salary and commissions, not a bribe. The trial will resume after a weekend adjournment with Dunham back on the stand.

Charges Dropped for Lack of Corroboration in Syracuse Burglary Case
State Supreme Court Justice Walter T. Gorman dismissed a three felony indictment against James Grimes, ruling grand jury minutes show no corroborative evidence besides confessions from his brother Stephen Grimes and accomplice Centro Williams. Defense attorney Terrance Hoffmann said the case could be resubmitted to a new grand jury in search of corroboration.

Handicapped Parking Space Plan Heads To Vote
Assemblyman Michael J. Bragman announced a bill to remove the state cap on county promotional advertising spending and to extend handicapped parking space requirements at shopping centers. The measure, supported by County Executive John Mulroy, would repeal the two percent limit and mandate five percent or 10 spaces, with fines up to 250 for centers failing to comply and 10 to 15 dollar penalties for improper parking. The law goes into effect January 1, 1982, and public education efforts are emphasized by advocates.

Teens dead in Syracuse fire linked to stove left on
Fire investigators led by Lt. Fred Passett and Michael Hewitt concluded the blaze likely began from a stove left operating overnight. A melted pan and one active burner supported the theory. Neighbors complained of a frozen hydrant as icy streets hampered efforts to reach the burning home on Westmoreland Avenue. Police cited family uncertainty and delayed identity releases due to relatives outside the area. Chief Hanlon urged smoke detectors, calling them a life saving Christmas gift.

Fort Drum kept in reserve for possible Haitian influx
White House and Justice Department officials said Fort Drum remains designated as a temporary holding facility only if a spring surge of Haitian boat people occurs. The decision does not affect Reagan’s plan to strengthen Drum as a military post and 500 Cubans will be moved to Glasgow Montana with room for about 1200 Haitians if needed.
