HAITI . . . GRAY CALLS FOR HAITIAN TRIALS
President Clinton's policy of giving Haitians hearings in Jamaica began as U.S. Coast Guard cutters picked up the first boatload of 35 refugees fleeing the island. Last night his top adviser on Haiti, William Gray, said that country's military rulers won't be given amnesty to get them to step down peacefully. Instead, he said, they should be tried in Haitian courts for any crimes they may have committed, if and when ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide is returned to power. "They will be judged by that constitution and by that country's judicial system," the former Pennsylvania congressman told ABC's Nightline.
