The U.S. Justice Department says its investigators have so far found nothing to substantiate an "ambiguous allegation" that Sen. Strom Thrumond took a bribe from convicted smuggler Edwin T. Wilson. Thurmond, who has denied the allegation, requested the investigation after Jack Anderson, quoting an unnamed witness, gave an account of it in his syndicated pnliimn WoHnpcHav Wilson, a former CIA agent, also denied the allegation. "The inquiry now being conducted has produced no substantiation of the allegation," said Thomas DeCair, chief spokesman for the U.S. Justice Department.

A Chattanooga, Tenn., man wrote a statement saying he killed two reclusive north Georgia men because "they were devils," a Chattooga County sheriff's investigator testified yesterday. Investigator Tony Gilleland read the statement by Samuel T. West, 30, alias Tony Wells West, at a preliminary hearing for West, one of two men charged with murder in the deaths of reputed devil worshipers O IJ r? ' miatics ocuuua, do, ana Joseph Odom, 37. Gilleland quoted West's statement as saying, "All I can say is they were devils, and I killed them. That's all I can say about it." Scudder, a former Chicago medical school professor, and Odom were found shot to death Dec. 16 at "Corp 1 m ? sewooa Manor, tneir castle-like home near Trion. Authorities have described the men as devil worshipers who kept an occult library, hex signs and skulls in their home. The other man charged in the killings, Kenneth Avery Lowrance ? Brock,.. 17,. was -boundaver- to .the - enies bribery i release of eight C-130 transport planes to Libya. Anderson gave no indication that the offer was ever made. In the incident under investigation, the columnist said it wasn't clear for what purpose Thurmond was alleged to have accepted $10,000 in each of two separate meetings with a middleman acting for Wilson. Anderson said Wilson also denied the alleged bribe through an attorney. Wilson is on trial in Houston, accused of smuggling more than 21 tons of C-4 plastic explosives from Texas to Libya. , THE COLUMNIST WROTE he heard in September 1981 that the Justice Department was looking into the earlier allegation that someone offered Thurmond's services "for a price" to Terpil.

Prosecutors claim they have two eyewitnesses to the slayings, but one of the two, Theresa Lynn Hudgins, failed to appear in court yesterday morning. Attorneys for West had subpoenaed her for the hearing, and Justice of the Peace Ralph Brown ordered sheriff's deputies to find her and bring her to court.

McConnell said West told him during questioning at the Rossville Police Department just after midnight Christmas Day that he and Brock had killed Scudder and Odom on Dec. 12. McConnell said West told him that he and Brock then took Scudder's Jeep and drove to Mississippi, where they stopped at an interstate highway rest area, killed another man andf stole his car. West also faces a murder charge in . .the shooting-death jof Kirby Phelps of . . charge trying to get the government to release eight C-130 transport planes purchased by Libyan dictator Moammar Khadafy. The State Department stopped delivery because of Khadafy's support for international terrorists, and Anderson said Mulcahy reported Temil was to receive a *1 r ? ?- - V. YJl A41I111U11 commission for each plane he could get delivered. The columnist said Mulcahy's story was that Terpil offered a middleman $250,000 per plane and an equal amount for Thurmond if the middleman could win the senator's support. Anderson said the middleman denied any such discussion. Nothing further apparently came of that story. But in the alleged bribery incident, Anderson said a witness told investigators that a middleman met Thurmond at least twice at an Arlington, Va., company sponsored by Wilson and handed over $10,000 each time to the senator.
