Subject: Angel of Death Arrested

		      Angel of Death Arrested

		       by J. Orlin Grabbe

	The Justice Department doesn't like it when you mess 
with their stolen software, in particular the PROMIS system 
appropriated from Inslaw, Inc.  Chuck Hayes should know.  
He is currently being held without bond in the London, 
Kentucky jail.  All based on the tale of an unidentified, 
undercover FBI agent.  FBI agents, of course, always tell the 
truth.

	Hayes had his first run-in with the Justice Department 
in August 1990 when he purchased lot 097 of used computer 
equipment from the office of the U.S. attorney in Lexington, 
Kentucky.  He discovered copies of the PROMIS software 
and all sorts of official records, such as the identity of people 
who had been placed in the federal witness protection 
program.  When Hayes informed the Justice Department of 
their sloppy security, their reaction was to seize the equipment 
and to try to prosecute Hayes for receiving information he 
shouldn't have.  

	On October 29, 1991, District Court Judge Eugene 
R. Siler issued an injunction forbidding Hayes from ever 
"possessing, retrieving, copying, duplicating, disseminating, 
disposing, transferring, selling, discussing or publishing, orally 
or in any other manner, any information or data which was 
stored in any part of the computer equipment or related items" 
in lot 097.  (The case is discussed somewhat in David 
Burnham's *Above the Law:  Secret Deals, Political Fixes, 
and Other Misadventures of the U.S. Department of 
Justice*.)  

	But Hayes sued and got his equipment back from the 
government, along with an undisclosed settlement amount 
(rumored to be around $80,000).  In addition to Judge Siler, 
part of the case between the Justice Department and Hayes was 
heard  by Judge J. B. Johnson, who is now an Appellate Judge 
for the Sixth Circuit.

	In August 1992 Hayes again testified to a Chicago 
grand jury with respect to the Inslaw case, but his Chicago 
testimony was redacted under the National Security Act.  

	Then in April 1996, Hayes provided Inslaw attorneys 
with an affidavit that detailed the government's use of the 
stolen PROMIS software.  Hayes was afterward deposed by 
Beth Cook of the Justice Department, who made numerous 
attempts to entrap Hayes into either revealing his secret grand 
jury testimony from Chicago, or to admit to violations of 
Judge Siler's order.
	
	Now Judge J. B. Johnson, curiously acting as a 
District Judge for the Eastern District of Kentucky, has 
signed a criminal complain against "Chalmer C. Hayes, also 
know as Chuck Hayes, also known as Charles Hayes" (Case 
Number 96-6101M, October 22, 1996). An indictment was obtained
by Joseph L. Famularo, U.S. Attorney in Lexington, Kentucky.

	The timing of this complaint is curious, given that 
Charles Hayes' most recent activity has been to assist the 
Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr draft indictments against 
Hillary and Bill Clinton.  Indictments for several people, 
including Hillary, were signed by grand juries in Arkansas and 
New York earlier this month.

	According to the present criminal complaint, Hayes 
supposedly contracted with an undercover FBI agent to have 
Hayes' son killed for $5,000.  (It is no secret that Hayes and 
his son, who has had drug addiction problems in the past, do 
not get along, and that there is some civil litigation pending 
between them over an inheritance issue.)

	An affidavit of FBI agent David R. Keller reports on 
the activities of another, undisclosed "Undercover Agent 
(UCA) of the FBI".  This agent supposedly offered to kill 
Hayes son, and Hayes discussed the matter with him over an 
open phone line.  Then Hayes conveniently sent a package of 
documents to the agent, using his own return address.  Then 
this agent showed up at the Beckett Motel in Nancy, Kentucky, 
where Hayes lives, while on his way to Louisville to scope 
out the dirty deed, and Hayes gave him $100 in expenses.  
Finally, Hayes promised this unidentified person $5,000 to be 
paid a week after the hit.

	Now I'm a novice at these matters, and it sure sounds 
plausible to me that if I were going to have someone killed, I 
would discuss the matter over the telephone so it could be 
recorded, then send out incriminating documents using my 
own return address, and finally invite the person over to my 
house so all the neighbors can see the two of us spending time 
together.    

	But would Hayes be this naive?  Well, I've talked to 
him on a daily basis for a year now, and all I can say is Hayes 
is extremely circumspect in any phone conversation.

	It would seem the Department of Justice hopes to kill 
two birds with one stone:  1) to keep Charles Hayes locked 
up past the election; and 2) to shut him up with respect to the 
Inslaw Case and the stolen PROMIS software.

	And, at least for the moment, they have succeeded.
