SAN FRANCISCO ? Th?
Peoples Temple tragedy ii
Guyana and the growing con
troversy surrounding other so
called cults has placed attorneyi
representing such groups at the
center of a swelling storm.
How much do lawyers whc
represent cults know about theii
clients'? Should they report illega
activities? Is it ethical to withholc
knowledge of illegalities when i
client-cult commits them?
"It's hard to say what tht

that took the lives of more than 90(
cult members, said law professoi
John Noonan, who teaches ethicf
at the University of California ai
Rprlrolon
But, adds Noonan, many of these
lawyers "don't know anything
because they close their eyes."

that everyone is entitled to legal
representation.
But, attorneys for cults seem tc

m: cmoroiiea in controversy more
than most lawyers. Former
Temple members have leveled
several accusations at the Tem
pie's three lawyers ? Tim Stoen,
Charles Garry and Mark Lane ?
and all three have been subpoenaed
by various grand juries in
San Francisco.
The former Temple members
say:
? stoen acted in alleged conflict
of interest while serving as both
Temple attorney and San Francisco
deputy district attorney in
1976. Ex-members say he used his
position to harass them. Stoen has
been unavailable to comment on
the charges.
? Garry, who strongly denies
any wrongdoing, allegedly advised
the cult to obtain firearms and
allowed cult members to hide some
of the guns in a trunk in the
basement of his law offices. Garrv
maintains he was misled by cult
members.
? Lane knew about the murdersuicide
drill and the imminent
murder-suicide ritual, but never
warned anyone.
