OUT OF THE SHADOWS. Haitians long suspected that Lieut. General Henri Namphy, ousted as President last month, had links to the dreaded Tontons Macoutes. But photos found after his overthrow have shocked even the most cynical Haitians. One shows Namphy with his arms around two Macoutes assassins killed by mobs during the coup. Namphy apparently also had a nasty temper; a Haitian businessman claims he vowed to murder two U.S. legislators if they showed up to observe last November’s elections. (They never came.) No wonder no country has offered Namphy political asylum.
