Teens say group sex was part of religion
By United Press International
SANTA MARIA, Calif. — Satan worship was used as an excuse by about 15 teen-agers to engage in group sex involving homosexual coupling, bondage and orgies, police said yesterday.
"The extent of their ritual was having sex," said police Capt. Mike Farrell "They told us, 'Yeah, we're worshiping Satan. 'But that appeared to be a rationale for group sex."
Farrell said the sex acts among the youths, ranging in age from 14 to 17, involved "mild bondage." and were "boy-girl, boy-boy and girl-girl."
Investigators referred the teenagers and their parents to counseling services, said Farrell. No charges have been filed in the case.
"The activity went past skinny dipping," the officer said, adding some teen-agers also scratched satanic symbols on their arms, he
The youths were all junior high and
high school students in the rural community of 47,000, located about 150 miles northwest of Los Angeles
The Satan sex fetish frenzy was sparked in spring, waned in summer and appeared to pick up again with the start of school in fall. Farrell
One adult, loosely linked with the teen-agers, was arrested. James Gamble, 59, was booked for suspicion of furnishing marijuana and alcohol to the teen-agers.
"We started getting rumors of mild sado-masochistic activity in the spring," he said. "That was really their word for it, not ours. It appears to have involved mild bondage. It was a little kinky."
Police found no evidence that the young people used satanic paraphernalia such as capes, masks, horns or altars, Farrell said. He said the group did not function as a religious cult.
Investigators obtained information about the group from youths who had peripheral involvement or had just heard about the group. Farrell said.

19th century poet's writings found
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A newly discovered trove of writings by John Greenleaf Whitter will provide a first look at the human side of the 19th century poet's personality, scholars say.
Ben Pickard. Whittier's great great nephew, stumbled across two boxes full of the poet's jumbed letters, photographs and family papers while poking around
in the cellar of the family summer home in New Hampshire.
"My father put them in the cellar behind his homemade prohibition wine and, after he died in the 1950s, nobody knew where they were." said Pickard, a professor of American literature at the university of Florida. They really hidden in some old molly boxes and would have undoubtedly been tossed out if I hadn't been there."
Up to the present, Whittier has
been regarded largely as a stereotypical abolitionist, patriarchal man of letters and hymn writer, Pickard said.
"They almost made him an American saint," he said. "These letters show the human, emotional and even humorous side of Whitney."
Besides letters and photographs, the 400 or so items include editions of Whittier's poems with his annotations in the margins, family ledgers and nine
Anti-nuclear talk at school angers parents
By United Press International
YARMOUTH, Maine — An anti-nuclear weapons crusader created fallout of her own by telling students that "you aren't going to grow up" unless the weapons are eliminated
Dr. Helen Caldicott gave that message to an assembly of students at the Yarmouth High School this week and school administrators have
since had to pacify scared students and outraged parents.
"Knowing what I know now, I probably wouldn't do something like this again." Principal Kenneth Nye said Wednesday. "She very definitely scared them and now it's up to us as a staff to deal with that."
The Australian-born pediatrician and critic of the nuclear arms buildup presented a graphic description of the holocaust that would result
in a nuclear exchange.
"If you want to live, you've got to learn this stuff. We've got to get rid of these nuclear weapons or you aren't going to grow up," she told the students.
Nye said Calbott was invited to speak as part of a social studies program.
cans from disgruntled parents were directed at administrators and school board members.
Funeral ruse used by man to escape jail
By United Press International
SOUTH PARIS, Maine — Authorities hunted yesterday for a "con artist" inmate who received daily updates on his dying sister and then tearfully accepted a leave to attend her funeral, all part of an elaborate escape hoax.
"He conned the whole lot of us," said Oxford County Sheriff Alton Howe. "It's embarrassing, but not as embarrassing as having them jump the fence."
Authorities said Barry Thomas, 24,
of Farmington, serving a sentence
for theft and forgery, was given a
two-day furghough to attend the
alleged funeral, which he said was in
Connecticut on Sept. 16.
"It was a well-executed con job," said corrections officer Ed Quinn. "This guy is a con artist, the best I ever seen. He was very convincing."
He has not been heard from since.
