Good Afternoon Newsgroup Readers,

I reference my pervious postings in the threads '!!New Militia Bust-- Ed
Brown!!', '!!New Militia Conviction-- Ed Brown!!, and previous postings
in this thread.

I am delighted to post that today's Boston Globe reports that
militiaman, tax evader, and convicted felon Ed Brown and his wife were
taken into custody late yesterday afternoon without incident. This
development brings to an end this sordid affair. I also note in passing,
although I have not posted on it, that federal authorities had arrested
several of the Brown's followers in the past weeks who had aided the
anti-tax couple while on the lam.

Evaders,` Boston Globe, 071005.

A tense five-month standoff ended peacefully last night when US marshals
took custody of convicted tax evaders Ed and Elaine Brown at their
Plainfield, N.H., home, authorities announced.
