Publicity of alleged rape encircles Kennedy estate
PALM BEACH, Fla. — Police fended off a deluge of publicity yesterday as they investigated an alleged rape on the Kennedy estate, saying they didn't want to compromise the case.
The Associated Press
Investigators have not filed charges in the case and have declined to say whether anyone associated with the family is a suspect, Gunkel said.
"This is definitely the clamor of the town last two days," said Palm Beach police representative Craig Gunkel.
A representative for Sen. Edward Kennedy issued a statement Monday saying he was with his family in Atlanta on Sunday, before weekend, but had nothing to do with
The victim of the alleged 4 a.m. Saturday assault at the compound was identified only as a 30-year-old who lives in Palm Beach County.
the incident.
"The girl is not someone I know. She was not a guest of mine. I assume she was a guest of one of my cousin's." he said.
Gunkel characterized the reported attack as a rape. He also said alcohol was involved, including drinks concomitant to the incident, but he would not elaborate.
Smith, 30, a student at Georgetown University School of Medicine, stayed with friends last night and couldn't be reached for comment.
alleged rape.
The Associated Press
Local newspapers reported Kennedy was with his son, Patrick, and nephew, William Kennedy Smith, Friday night at the Palm Beach louge Au Bar. The newspapers led the manager, Stuart Lichtenstein.
Patrick Kennedy is a member of the Rhode Island House and the youngest of Ted Kennedy's three children. Smith is the son of Ted Smith, his older sister, Jean Kennedy Smith, and the late Stephen Smith.
Patrick Kennedy, 24, said yesterday he knew nothing about the incident and was asleep at the time of the
The rape report came seven years after Palm Beach was shaken by another Kennedy family tragedy, the trial of a 21-year-old Kennedy's son, David Kennedy.
Engineer focus of train crash inquiry
WASHINGTON - Federal investigators are focusing on an engineer's error rather than mechanical failure as the cause of a train collision in Boston that injured 267 people.
Members of the National Transportation Safety Board said yesterday that tests conducted on the locomotive brakes of Amtrak's Night Owl train show no mechanical problems. The trains rolled Dec. 12 and slammed into the rear of a packed commuter train in Boston's Back Bay Station.
When the locomotive brakes were tested earlier this year at the Westinghouse Air Brake Co. in Wilmerding, Pa., mechanical failure did not seem to be a factor, board Vice
Chairperson Susan M. Coughlin said.
the accident. How that erasure occurred is also a focus of the probe, said Bill Pugh, the NTSB chief investigator.
Chairperson Susan M. Coughlin said. That claim was disputed by the attorney representing Rich Abramson of Trumbull, Conn., the engineer trainee who was in the cab of the Amtrak train.
"The brakes were applied where they should have been applied and the train did not slow down," attorney George Cahill said in a telephone interview from his New Haven, Conn., office. "No matter what the NTSB's findings were, the brakes did not work as they should have."
Investigators were able to recover some of the erased data and they concluded that the train was traveling as fast as 110 mph in the mile leading up to Back Bay Station. The final recorded speed of the train when it derailed was 77 mph, which is 37 mph over the speed limit for the stretch of the track where the train derailed.
Precisely when the brakes were applied is the subject of intense scrutiny. Initially, investigators were unable to determine the time because key information on an automatic data recorder was erased after
Although the NTSB is months away from issuing a finding on the accident, the discussion yesterday took place because board member James Burnett proposed that a public hearing on the crash be held in Boston.
