New indictments issued in slaying of 4 in family Associated Press AMHERST A grand jury Friday returned new indictments against a Lynchburg man accused of killing four relatives. Amherst County Circuit Court grand jurors returned four charges of first-degree murder and two charges of capital murder against Douglas M.
Buchanan accused in the slayings last fall of his father, stepmother and two stepbrothers. In a hearing Thursday, Circuit Judge Robert Goad ruled that Buchanan could only face one of the four capital murder charges previously filed against him in the case, so Commonwealth's Attorney W.E. Meeks took the case back before a grand jury to obtain the new charges. "It's more an amplification of the charges," Meeks said. The new charges create four possible ways Buchanan could be convicted of capital murder, giving a jury more flexibility reaching such a verdict, Meeks said.
The new charges do not affect Buchanan's trial date of April 25, Meeks said. Nelle P. Lester, Va. Hall of Fame chiropractor, dies BEDFORD Nelle Price Lester, who was inducted into the Virginia Chiropractic Hall of Fame last week, died Friday in Bedford County Memorial Hospital.

LOTTERY FRIDAY NIGHT DAILY 3: 8-7-1 DAILY 4: 7-4-9-0 Hospital dedicates CT scanner WYTHEVILLE Wythe County Community Hospital officials dedicated a new piece of diagnostic medical equipment to the late Marion Sutton Sanders here Friday because of his support of the hospital.
The remarks came during a showing of the hospital's new computerized tomography scanner. The CT scanner has an X-ray tube on one side, sensitive X-ray detectors on the other and is rotated around a patient to pick up bits of information that are fed into an elaborate computer system. The computer produces a cross-sectional image of a thin slice of the body. Scott K. Adams, hospital administrator, explained the device and called Sanders "a man with vision." "His quest for a community hospital in Wythe County started long before his death in 1968," Adams said.
"It is entirely appropriate that we are here today to dedicate this CT scanning suite to his memory and that of his grandfather, Dr. Richard Walton Sanders." The Rev. William Edwards, who had been Sanders' pastor, said Sanders made provisions for a community hospital years before there was one here. "With the death of his brother, Charles, and his son, Richard Sharpe Sanders in September, a trust amounting to more than three-quarters of a million dollars was turned over to the Wythe County Community Hospital," Edwards said. Sanders' will had provided that, after the deaths of Charles and 1 Richard, the principal of a trust in their names would be turned over to authorities operating, "a non-profit, non-denominational or non-sectarian hospital in Wythe County if one is in existence at the time," said Steve Lester, chairman of the hospital's board of directors.
Sanders wrote that will in 1961, 11 years before the hospital opened its doors. "That is remarkable foresight indeed," Lester said. Piedmont promotion slashes many fares Southwest bureau Piedmont Airlines' "spring sale" will offer a $198 round-trip fare between Roanoke and Los Angeles for passengers who can adjust their travel schedules to the ticket restrictions. That's the same as the cost of flying to Los Angeles from Charlotte because $198 is the maximum fare on Piedmont during the promotion. Frequently, it's cheaper to fly to or from Roanoke.
Piedmont's "Max-Saver" fare to Los Angeles is $248 from Roanoke and $268 from Charlotte. But the following conditions apply: Seats available at the discounted fare are limited, depending on the flight. Tickets must be purchased by midnight Sunday, April 17, and a are not refundable. Flights must be made between April 18 and June 15. I Travelers must leave between noon Mondays through noon Thursdays and must stay a weekend.
Some routes served by Piedmont regional and commuter airlines are not included. Radford man, 82, dies in car crash MARION An 82-year-old man traveling west on Interstate 81 in Smyth County died Friday afternoon when his car ran off the left side of the road and crashed. Frank Settle Sr. of Radford was about one mile east of Exit 14, some three miles west of Marion, when his car crashed at 3:20 p.m., state police said. Settle, who was not thrown from the vehicle, died at the scene.
Motorcyclist dies in Roanoke crash A Roanoke man injured in a collision between his motorcycle and a car Thursday afternoon died Thursday night. Michael Scott Spence, 18, of the 700 block of 15th Street Southwest, was taken to Roanoke Memorial Hospital following the 2:12 p.m. accident. He died there at 9:50, said Roanoke police.

Shooting FROM PAGE A3 lose control momentarily. "Both vehicles came up on two wheels at one time," said Trooper Grover McKenzie, who was in a marked state police car following the pickup. Trooper W.F.
Parker, who was riding with Spivey, fired two blasts from a shotgun into the pickup's radiator. He said he then tried to hit a tire, but Salmons swerved at their car and his shot hit Salmons' windshield instead. "I learned that it was hard to hit a moving object from a moving object," Parker said. So much smoke was pouring from the pickup's radiator that the police cars, which by then were both following Salmons, had to back off briefly, he said. Spivey said the officers heard a citizens band radio call, apparently from Salmons, for help from state police at Floyd, which was then only a few miles away.
Spivey got on the radio and identified himself to Salmons, urging him to stop. When Salmons kept going, Parker fired again at a tire, and this time Salmons stopped. Joe McGrady, one of the defense attorneys, argued that Salmons did not realize he was being pursued by state police and that the Magnum could have been stolen from Salmons' house, used in the killings, then returned. The defense did not raise the issue of mental competency, but Tom Jackson, Salmons' other attorney, said following the hearing that if Salmons is indicted he and McGrady will seek further mental evaluations of their client. Salmons was found competent for trial following evaluations at a state mental hospital.
Judge Cooley found Salmons guilty of two misdemeanors failure to stop for police and reckless driving. He imposed $500 fines, six-month jail sentences and license suspension for six months on each charge. Arsenal FROM PAGE A3 have a liner, leachate collection system or other safeguards. Its uncontainered wastes include residue from open burning of explosives, toxic lab wastes and lagoon sludges, with heavy metals. According to the arsenal's closure plan, prepared in late 1986 by Engineering Science of Fairfax, the landfill and lagoons are located over shallow ground water and bedrock that is characterized by sinkholes and solution channels in limestone rock, in other words, that is conducive to rapid ground water percolation.
The landfill is no more than 900 feet from the edge of the New River, while the unlined lagoon is almost on the river bank and well within the 100-year flood plain. Tests at all three sites show ground water degradation, according to the closure plan, principally nitrates, sulfates, chloride and manganese. But the plan also raises the possibility that other arsenal facilities may be contributing to ground water contamination, including a TNT neutralization sludge disposal site, and called for additional tests. Greene said he was unaware of other hazardous waste sites at the arsenal and could not say if the TNT neutralization sludge site had been tested for ground water contamination. The closure plan may be viewed at the arsenal or at the Department of Waste Management in Richmond.
Comments should be marked to the attention of Kevin Greene and mailed in duplicate to the department's Division of Technical Services, 11th Floor, Monroe Building, 101 N. 14th Richmond 23219. Mines FROM PAGE A3 happened in the meeting that led to the agreement. "You'll remember last week we had two memorial days," Anderson said. "The memorial days were an expression of the Virginia people, and Stump said this." Stump was out of town Friday, according to a secretary in the District 28 office in Castlewood.
The secretary-treasurer of District 28, which covers all of Virginia's coalfields, said the union had succeeded only in making Westmoreland abide by the contract it had signed earlier in the year. "I think it's in their best interests to go by the agreement," Don McCamey said from the Castlewood office. "You're going to produce more coal with happy people than you are going to produce with disgruntled people." Anderson predicted relations will now flow more smoothly between Westmoreland and the UMW, but McCamey said he was not sure how things will go. "I have no barometer, so to speak, to gauge a new beginning," McCamey said. "I just don't know what will happen.".
