Sheriff’s deputies pushed everyone back and Martz ran from the building to announce Hall was safe. The crowd began shouting and cheering at the end of what Martz had called “the most incredible three-day ordeal any of these people ever spent.” Kiritsis was taken to Marion County Jail.

Witnesses said he also apparently had suffered some bruises. . After his television ex posure, Kiritsis snapped to a policeman, “We’re going to get the hell out of here, chief.” He ordered everyone out of his way and marched Hall into a room which police had been using as a headquarters during the siege. Once inside the room, Kiritsis repeated his demands and said he wanted to see the agreements in writing. His attorney had written the agreements in longhand. Kiritsis looked at them and said, “Looks fine, looks fine.” Then authorities removed the handcuffs and neck piece from Hall, separating him from the gun that had been tied to his neck since Tuesday.

Among the arguments espoused by Byrd and others were U.S. need for Rhodesian chrome and that a cutoff would increase reliance on imports from the Soviet Union. , “It is my firm belief,” Vance said, “that repeal of the Byrd amendments will serve the interests of the United States. It will in no way harm us strategically or economically. “Quite to the contrary. .It will strengthen our position and add to our stature internationally.” The capture occurred shortly afterward. A few minutes before, Kiritsis demanded $5 million from Meridan Mortgage Co. of Indianapolis, the company which holds the mortgage on property he has been trying to develop. Hall is a director of the company and it is largely controlled by his family. Kiritsis said the Halls had cheated him. “I haven’t got a --- nerve in my body,” Kiritsis boasted before his capture. “A nerv ous nelly would have blown his head off long ago.” At one point, Kiritsis had tears in his eyes but only briefly. Hall’s eyes were bloodshot. When he first emerged, Kiritsis shouted to waiting newsmen, “Get those cameras on! Get those cameras on! I want the pople to see this man!” “Stand back or I’ll kill this son of a ---. I’ll blow his head off,” Kiritsis told reporters and building residents who filled the room.
