     Man rescues 10 people before being washed off wrecked ship
     LONDON -- November 19, 1997 6:47 p.m. EST -- A helicopter winch
 man is missing presumed dead late Wednesday after he was washed from
 the deck of a wrecked freighter after he rescued 10 crew members.
     A search for William Deacon, 50, who was married with two child-
 ren, was called off as night fell off the island of Shetland, north
 of Scotland.
     It will resume at first light, but the coastguard has given up
 hope of finding him alive.
     Deacon is believed to have been swept off the Bahamas-registered
 freighter Green Lily, which was drifting out of control in high seas
 en route to Las Palmas in the Canary Islands, after the winch wire,
 which had become snagged, had to be cut.
     He had 27 years search and rescue experience with the Royal Navy,
 British Airways Helicopters and Bristow Helicopters.

    Armored car heist suspect chartered plane to Notre Dame game
     OKLAHOMA CITY November 20, 1997 00:23 a.m. EST - After stealing
 millions in cash from an armored car, Michael Lutz didn't flee to
 South America or the Caribbean - he spent $6,000 on a private flight
 to a Notre Dame football game, an FBI agent testified Wednesday.
     The Fighting Irish lost to Michigan State 23-7 in September, and
 Lutz lost again Wednesday when a magistrate denied bail for him and
 former armored car guard Bobby O'Neal Negri.
     Lutz, 23, and Negri, 30, are accused of robbing a Loomis, Fargo,
 and Co. armored car in Stroud on June 25, Negri's birthday. The two
 allegedly looted the car of $2.7 million while another guard was
 buying breakfast at a McDonald's, leaving Negri's gun and a postcard
 that read: "Is Paris nice this time of year? Oui, Bye."
