MAN ON TRIAL AGAIN ON ABDUCTION CHARGE

A man acquitted last year of trying to kidnap an heir to the DuPont family fortune is in federal court again - this time on charges he abducted a District of Columbia woman.

Galen G. Kelly was indicted last week by a federal grand jury in U.S. District Court in Alexandria on a charge he kidnapped Debra Dobkowski on May 5, 1992, apparently by mistake.

Kelly is a self-proclaimed "cult deprogrammer" who was acquitted in December on charges he conspired to kidnap Lewis Smith and his wife to get them to leave an organization run by Lyndon LaRouche.

Court records show that Dobkowski - apparently the roommate of the intended target - was on her way to work when two men and two women in a van kidnapped her and took her to Leesburg, The Washington Times reported. - Associated Press
