Jessica to face
a
more questions
^ v
ALBANY. N.Y. (AP) — A stale
court hearing has uncovered al-
legations that Jessica Hahn spent
most of her “hush money” from
the PTL ministry to support a
previously undisclosed cocaine
habit
Miss Hahn was expected to face
questions today about the cocaine
use and alleged extortion by PTL
officials in a hearing involving a
Long Island minister’s tax evasion
charges. She could not be reached
for comment Monday.
Revelations about Hahn’s 1980
sexual encounter with PTL head
Jim Bakker led to his ouster by the
religious group.
On Monday, a New York state
investigator testified that Hahn told
him she had a cocaine habit and
had received $12,000 in “hush
money” from the PTL ministry in
what “sounded like extortion."
Hahn said she used $7,000 to
buy cocaine sometime after getting
two payments from the PTL minis-
try, said Richard Friedman, an in-
vestigator for the state attorney
general's office.
Friedman testified in a suppres-
sion hearing on evidence for Long
Island minister Eugene Profcta's
upcoming trial on tax evasion char-
ges. Profcta is also accused of

to courier
DALLAS (AP) — Bryan Crelly
was just doing his job.
The bartender at Tia’s Tex-Mex
in Dallas was taking out trash when
he stumbled over a zipper bag con-
taining nearly $10,000 in cash —
deposits from another area res-
taurant, apparently dropped by an
armored truck courier service when
it picked up Tia's receipts.
“I knew exactly what it was,”
said Crelly, who closes Tia's at
night and gathers the night's
receipts for deposit. The bag he
found about 11:30 a.m. Monday
was zipped and locked, and had a
deposit slip for $9,856.42.
Crelly took it to manager Joe
Loyd, who called the courier serv-
ice and the other restaurant.
“Then I went home and laid
down," Crelly said. It was only
later that he realized there could
have been any other outcome: a
new Mustang or Corvett, for ex-
ample.
“A lot of people here at work are
saying (that) rm a ‘good guy,”’
Crelly told die Dallas Morning
News. “Sort of sarcastically — like

”1 knew I could not have live
with that,” Crelly said. “It
wouldn’t have been nght."
“I think it’s incredible," Loyd
said of Crelly’s actions. “I’m very
proud of him. His honesty speaks
for itself with what he did today. A
lot of people would not have turned
the money in.”
The armored truck company told
the News the bank deposit bag had
been “inadvertently dropped by an
armored courier.”
trying to convince Hahn, his former
church secretary, to lie to a grand
jury investigating charges against
him.
Friedman testified that Hahn told
him that one of her close friends
wrote a letter to the PTL ministry
asking for $100,000 not to talk
about an alleged rape by Bakker.
News of Bakker’s 1980 sexual
liaison with Hahn led to the
downfall of the popular television
evangelist.
Hahn told him that she had a
cocaine habit in 1984 and 1985 and
also had a dependence on the drug
Fiorinal, Friedman testified.
