National
SBI Investigators
Now Claim Green Shot James Jordan
RALEIGH (AP) ? Investigators
said Tuesday they weren't exactly dealing
with "two Einsteins" when they hunted
down a pair of teen-aged suspects in the
death of Michael Jordan's father.
"The case has really come together
well," Stale Bureau of Investigation direc
tor Jim Coman said.
Coman said police had little trouble
tracking the suspects after getting phone
records from James Jordan's cellular
phone.
"We weren't dealing with two Ein
stein s here," Coman said. "It wasn't too
hard to figure out who was making calls
from that car phone."
Some of the calls from the telephone
taken from James Jordan's $46,000 car
were made to 1-900 pornography lines,
sources close to the investigation said.
Coman talked about the arrests of
Larry Martin Demery, 18, of Rowland,
and Daniel Andre Green, 18, of Lumber
ton, a day after the two appeared in court
for arraignment on charges of killing the
father of the Chicago Bulls star.
Hugh Rogers, Demery's lawyer, told
WRAL-TV in Raleigh on Tuesday that
Green was the triggerman.
In addition to murder charges, the
high school dropouts are also charged
with armed robbery and conqHriCy; ^ -

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Com
merce Secretary Ronald Brown is
denying allegations he received
57UU,UUU from the Vietnamese gov
emment in exchange for helping lift
the U.S. trade embargo against that
country.
*1 have never represented Viet
nam at any time or interests repre
senting Vietnam, or any individuals
or any companies or corporations/*
Brown said Friday.
U.S. News & World Report
magazine's Aug. 23 issue said the
FBI has been investigating the alle
gations ? made by Vietnamese
business consultant Ly Thanh Binh
? since late February.
The FBI would neither confirm
' nor deny that it was investigating.
But a federal law enforcement
source said the bureau was "aware
that that information has been sent
by an individual to a number of peo
ple, including congressmen, and the
FBI has received copies of that
information from congressmen.'*
The source spoke to The Associated
Press on condition of anonymity.
According to U.S. News , Binh
told FBI agents that Brown was
approached by a former partner of
his, Nguyen Van Hao, in November
1992. Hao was seeking Brown's
help in getting the trade embargo
against Vietnam lifted, the report
said. Binh said Hao told him the
$700,000 payment to Brown was
being transferred to an account at
Banque Indosuez in Singapore,
according to the report
Reached at his home late Fri
day, Binh declined to comment on
the allegations. "How this will
unfold depends on the next step (at
the) government level," he said. "I
don't know what they're going to
do."
Jordan's car, which was stripped, will
be moved from Fayetteville to the state
bureau's headquarters in Raleigh, officials
said.
"We'll be looking for any additional
forensic evidence that might be helpful in
the criminal prosecution," Com an said.
The national publicity surrounding
the case has brought in some leads on at
least one armed robbery case in Robeson
County.
Rowland Police Chief Danny Brad
sher said a woman called his office after
seeing Demery and Green on television
and said they looked like the men who
robbed her at a Rowland motel in July.
The woman lives in Rhode Island
and was one of four people robbed at the
Family Inn on July 4, he said. He
declined to identify the robbery victims.
"However, it is still under investiga
tion and no warrants have been obtained,"
Bradsher said. HWe are getting some
assistance from the FBI in the matter.
We're having some interviews conducted
in Rhode Island where these persons
actually live."
Robeson County Sheriff Hubert
Stone said Monday the .38-caliber gun
used in the shooting still had not been
recovered. Hugh Munn of the State Law
Enforcement Division in South Carolina
said Tuesday he was unaware of any
requests to search for the weapon in the
creek where Jordan's body was found.
Stone said the defendants had been
waiting along U.S. 74 near Lumberton on
July 23 to rob someone when the elder
Jordan arrived, parked his car near a flea
market and started to nap with his win
dow open.
