Four new charges filed against suspect in rap string By The Associated Press CHARLESTON, S.C. Four new charges have been filed against a man already charged with 21 counts, including two murders and five rapes, in a series of Lowcountry crimes. Charles Edward Blake, 20, was charged this week with kidnapping, armed robbery, housebreaking and assault with intent to commit criminal sexual conduct, confirmed police Sgt. Glenn Rentz. The suspect now faces a total of 25 counts.

In addition to the murder and rape charges, Blake was charged originally with three kidnappings, five armed robberies and six other offenses. Some of the charges accused the suspect of raping and murdering Gloria Brown Knight and Robin Margiotta. Rentz declined to disclse details of the offenses leading to the new counts. "We have to use the strictest guidelines possible because of everything that's already happened in this case," the sergeant said referring to WCSC-TV airing a high school yearbook photograph of Blake despite police requests for a delay until victims could see the suspect in a lineup. Charleston County Police Maj.

R.F. Grassie, who said he was unaware of the new charges against Blake, said lineups have been tentatively scheduled for Jan. 5. A preliminary hearing for Blake has been scheduled for Jan. 10 at Magistrate William H.

Simmons office. Charges lodged earlier against Blake included burglary and assault at several James Island residences. However, Rentz would not say if the new charges were in connection with an incident in the same area. Rentz said a magistrate denied Blake bond on the new kidnapping charge and set bonds totaling $150,000 on the other three new charges. He declined to identify the magistrate.

Blake, who is being held at the Charleston County Jail, was denied bond on the two murder charges and three kidnapping charges filed when he was arrested Dec. 17 at his mother's home. Bonds totaling about $500,000 were set on the other 16 original charges. Warrants against Blake have been served by Charleston city and county police and the Dorchester County sheriff's office. One of the murder victims, Mrs.

Knight, was raped and stabbed to death Sept. 11 in her home. Mrs. Margiotta was abducted Nv. 8 and found dead Dec.

MILKIE Staff Writer Three assailants robbed an Orangeburg man early Thursday morning as he was walking near Hampton and Maple Streets. Capt.

Harold Carter, of the Orangeburg Police Department, said Donald Dean Buckner, 49, was walking in back of a restaurant about 12:45 a.m. Thursday when he was approached by three black males. They demanded money from him and apparently threw, or pushed, him onto the ground. The robbers took about $20 and a pack of cigarettes from Buckner and then fled on foot. OPD Patrolman Thomas Harrison responded to the call and is continuing the investigation, Carter said.

The victim asked to be taken to the hospital and the Orangeburg Ambulance Service took him to Orangeburg Regional Hospital, where he was checked over for injuries. Carter said he apparently had no serious results from the strong arm robbery. Natural Guard says government utilizing McCarthy-type tactics By DUNCAN MANSFIELD Associated Press Writer COLUMBIA Nuclear freeze activists charged Thursday that the government is engaging in "scare tactics" reminiscent of the McCarthy era in its efforts to find out who belongs to their group, how it is financed and whether they've ever discussed their views with foreigners. "I don't think it's. the government's business what we think or who we talk to," Brett Bursey of the Columbia-based Natural Guard told a news conference.

"The government has no right to interrogate me as to my beliefs and associations because I am in opposition to their nuclear The Justice Department has given Bursey and Sue Bowman, as representatives of the Natural Guard, until Dec. 31 to answer 20 questions posed in a court fight over the group's October protest at the Savannah River Plant. Seventy-nine protesters were arrested Oct. 24 for blocking two main gates at the Aiken County plant, which produces fuel for the nation's nuclear arsenal. The court-filed interrogatory asks Bursey and Ms.

Bowman questions ranging from their places of employment since 1975 to all organizations they have belonged to since 1982. Questions about the Natural Guard itself request a copy of its charter, a list of its officers and for a detailing of its plans for future demonstrations at the weapons fuel plant. Two other questions particularly upset Bursey. The first asked if he or Ms. Bowman ever advocated that the government "should be overthrown or overturned by force, violence or any unlawful The second question asked Bursey and Ms.

Bowman whether they "ever communicated, verbally or in writing, with persons who were not lawful citizens of the United States of America, regarding any nuclear weapons or nuclear weapons program of the United States." "If so," the question continued, "please state when, where, with whom and the substance of the communication." "They are clearly trying to establish that people who are not in favor of our nuclear policies are Bursey charged. He said the questions reminded him of those leveled by U.S. Sen. Joe McCarthy against alleged communists in the 1940s and 1950s. U.S.

McMaster said Thursday he couldn't comment directly on the case or Bursey's remarks. However, McMaster said that under federal court rules, Bursey would be free to argue in court against answering the questions. Bursey said attorneys for the Natural Guard were prepared to do that. The Guard's October demonstration was staged after it won a temporary stay of an order by U.S. District Judge Charles Simons that would have increased penalties for anyone found guilty of attempting to interrupt the plant's operations.

Simons said that instead of trespassing, demonstrators could be charged with contempt of court, which carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $500 fine. The penalty for trespassing is 30 days in jail and a $200 fine. Judge Francis Murnaghan of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily stayed Simons' order, saying the protesters did "have a First CARD OF THANKS The family of the late DAISY M. GRAHAM acknowledges with sincere appreciation the care shown during our time of bereavement.

Bursey said the Guard would file court papers this week saying the Justice Department's questions were procedurally improper because a decision on whether Murnaghan's stay should be made permanent has not been made. He said if the stay is overturned, then the Guard would file papers saying the government's questions infringe on the group's rights to free speech and association.
