frbm his apartment with a
shotgun pointed at his cap

million ransom, but was
captured and his victim
rescued within minutes.
Moments before Anthony
Kiritsis; 44, was captured, the
shotgun he had been holding
to the head of Richard Hall,
42, went off. But Hall was
uninjured and police leaped
upon Kiritsis.
Deputy Marion County
prosecutor George Martz
emerged from the room
where Kiritsis had been
dickering- with police and
shouted: “We’ve got him!
Nobody got hurt!”
Kiritsis had said his
apartment was wired with 100
pounds of dynamite. It was
this threat and the threat to
Hall’s life which had kept
hundreds of policemen at bay
for more than 61 hours.

said.

gasoline and electric wiring.
Police said Kiritsis, while
talking to police officials,
unhooked the wires binding
the shotgun from Hall’s neck,
walked onto a balcony and
fired a blast into the air.
Police immediately rushed
forward and subdued him.
The hundreds of reporters
and bystanders waiting
outside heard the blast and
surged forward. 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. Hall was
rushed to Wishard Hospital,
where he was to be held for
observation.
Hall had suffered a bad cut
from the cord which had been
tightly wrapped around his
neck since his ordeal began at
hour peak. Two cars
smashed to the street and two
more were left hanging from
the tracks.
Eleven persons died and
nearly 200 were injured.
Police said the cigarettes
were found in a shoulder bag
believed to have belonged to
Martin. Martin was still in
intensive care at North
western Memorial Hospital.
The cigarettes were tem

8:30 a.m. Tuesday. 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.
It was then that Kiritsis
went to the balcony and said,
“I’ve always wanted to fire
this . . . .” Despite pleas from
authorities, he fired a blast
into the air and police moved
in on him.

The Byrd amendment, named after its
principal supporter, Sen. Harry F. Byrd
of Virginia, was enacted in 1971.0ver the
objections of the Nixon administration.
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.
Safety Board investigators
said earlier blood and
toxicology tests on Martin
after the crash proved
negative for both alcohol and
narcotics.
