His hands are manacled in front of him. He wears an orange prison T-shirt and
white work pants. His face is pale and drawn.

While he is talking, in the middle of a sentence, the prison lights suddenly
flicker and go out.

‘'Qons,'' says Theodore R. Bundy, the prisoner, as the cell is plunged
into darkness, ''is it Wednesday?''

Test for the Electric Chair

Assured that it is, he explains the loss of lights. ‘‘They're powering up the
generators that power the electric chair,'' he said with a laugh welling in his
throat. ‘They test it every Wednesday about this time.’*

The iignts come back on after a half minute, and the colar seems to
temporarily return to Wis lean face.

Mr. Bundy, a 39-year-old former Seattle law student who some law-enforcement
officials say way have killed more than 34 young women in sexual crimes that
spanned the continent, agreed to the interview Several weeks ago because he was

ground of ignorance. You see, because if you -
think’ that way then there’s no way you're:

poned twice, he watched disbelieving as the
wheels ‘of Florida justice rolled over what

was seen as another delaying tactic. Gov. _

Bob Graham and his Cabinet went ahead
with the hearing without anyone represent-’.

. ing the condemned man:.There, he was de-

scribed as “a plague” who was angling to ©
plant some error in procedure which he
could later use: to forestall his execution,
and clemency was denied. Within weeks
Gov. Graham had signed a warrant schedul-
ing his execution for this month.

Bundy has since acquired the services ofa .
District of Columbia jaw firm and the Su-
preme Court of the United States stayed the
execution pending a decision on whether to
hear his appeal on his conviction., At the
same time a federal district court was asked
to rule on whether the prisoner was denied
the right to have legal representation at the
clemency hearing.

There are legal authorities in the state
who believe the case merits a review. The
evidence presented at his {rial for the 1978
murders of two Chi Omega women in Talla-
hassee was largely circumstantial. The most
damning physical evidence was’ presented
by a forensic odontologist who testified that
bite marks on one of the victims matched up

perfectly with impressions taken of the sus-|

pect’s teeth. Questions of whether. the tests
were admissible and if the trial judge limit-

ed the testimony of an expert defense wit-~

ness challenging the evidence may be.
legitimate ones for some court-to review,
they state, notwithstanding the widespread
enmity directed at the accused. _

But the case is such an emotional one in
Florida, and Bundy, one of the most feared
serial killers in the country, has so alienated
judges and defense attorneys by his legal
‘manuevers and courtroom antics despite his

surface charm and intelligence, that there is ~

no rush to his defense.

“He has played a very dangerous game
with his gambles to defeat the process,”
commented one high state official sympa-
thetic. to arguments against capital -punish-
ment. “Even a lot of anti-death penalty
people don’t lose any sleep over his case. I
think he is hastening his own execution by
calling attention to himself in such a calcu-
lated way.” -

Bundy, cool, deliberate. and yet at times
displaying nervous mannerisms that now be-
tray the effects of long imprisonment, says
the combination of his notoriety and the cur-
rent politics of Florida makes it impossible
for him to obtain a fair review of his case.

“Tf anyone considers me a monster, that’s
just’ something they’ll have to confront in
themselves,” he remarks at one point in the
interview. “It has nothing to do with me be-
cause they-don’t know me, If they knew me,
_ really knew me, they would discover I am
not a monster. For that matter, it's ...it’s...for,

_ People to want to condemn someone, to de-

humanize someone like me, is a very popu-
lar and effective, understandable way of
dealing with a fear and a threat that is just —
incomprehensible. It’s sort of like the old”
cliche of the ostrich sticking its head in:the
sand. When people go to those cliches that:
someone is a monster beyond help, that he’s

ever going to confront the Feal sources of the °
problem. ‘

“When they fail to see their common hu-
Mmanity with me, when they can’t link up ©
together like you and I are right now, when
People are not ready to see me as, I am, they
propose these stereotypes.”

In the interview, which extended for
more than two hours, Bundy talked about his.
legal problems and the efforis he was mak-
ing on his own behalf to have his conviction
overturned or have his death sentence lift-
ed. He denied that his dismissal of his law-
yer just days before his clemency hearing ;
was not a'strategic move but a reluctant one.
He said the court-appointed attorney, Rob-}
ert Harper of Tallahassee, had failed to ade-
quately prepare for the clemency hearing
despite assurances all would go well. - -

Harper, reached by telephone, denied | i
Bundy’s version of what ied ‘to the break, ”, 3
“His statements are not true,” the attorney
“said. “We had a difference of opinion as to’:
strategy. It was not a matter of preparation
or lack of preparation.”

Bundy is not yet eligible to be assigned. an: a.
attorney by. the Capital Collateral Represen- ‘

man is executed without the. benefit of a
Jawyer to exhaust his opportunity to appeal -
his case. He will become eligible if his first ©
round of appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court
fail. If and when that occurs, Bundy’s status,
in the eyes of the law, changes.: At that pla-
teau, he no longer is considered a defendant -
but a plaintiff, suing the courts to save his. :
life.

Graham, inan interview, said he believed
the opportunity for.a condemned man and
his lawyers to manipulate the legal system
by waiting to file last-minute appeals to vari-
ous courts, damaged public confidence.’ ‘I
don’t think it serves the ends of justice,” he-
remarked the other day.: -

Bundy, on the other hand,'said the refusal
of the governor to further delay his clemen-
cy hearing, and the signing of his death war-
rant before he had carried his appeal to the
federal courts, suggested to him that he had
become a pawn in election-year politics. . -

“What's the rush?” he exclaimed at one
. Point in the interview. “Does he want to get
something through for his Senate race?
What's the rush?” . :

- Q. So you suspect a political motive to
rush you into the electric ciair?

“Tt could’ve been any number of things.
All I know is they could’ve spaced it out.

Q. Do you think Bob Graham has to use
you to indicate his willingness.to execute
prisoners in this state? he’s shown no re-
luctance to sign 158 other death warrants.

is true. I’m not so paranoid that I
believe Bob Graham is trying to build a rep-
utation on me. But let’s face it, the name Ted
Bundy is one of the most well-known any-
where when it comes to criminal types. ’'m
not bragging. That's just the way it is. And ~
_ Graham has probably gottea more mileage, *
“because -of. the publicity, .cut of this one. ;

ers combined.-That’s just a fact of life: The
others get just a couple of paragraphs.”

terview with Death Row- inmate Theodore Bundy,

FSU sorority sisters and for the slaying of Lake ay
schoolgirl Kimberly Leach. :
By JON NORDHEIMER «. -
New York Times News Service: ' .

Q. Do you still contend you didn’t get a fair trial?

“T don’t think anybody sat down and plotted it out for it
to happen this way. But let’s face it, the Ted Bundy image,
the Ted Bundy trials, got a lot of attention, and not be-

cause I tried to give them a lot of attention. I say Ted.
Bundy because it's not me. We're talking about all that
stuff out there in the media; it seems to have a life all its
own. Think about it. Six books have been written about
Ted Bundy. Any similarity between me and the character
portrayed in the books is purely coincidental, It is a lot of

fact-fiction type of stuff. A lot of rumor, a lot of piecing:

together by newspaper reporters. It was in the press that

_there is going to be an NBC miniseries starring Mark

Harmon as Ted Bundy: It has been six. years since I’ve
been in court. I have said nothing to the press in six years.
T have turned down hundreds of requests for interviews.

And yet this thing lives on. The intense interest in the case
lives on. It hasn't died down at all. Books, movies. I don’t
ask for any of this, I have absolutely nothing to do with the’
NBC movie. : '

Q. The governor, the Legislature and a good majority
of the voters in Florida are strongly in favor of the
death penalty and want to speed up the rate of execu-
tions. You realize, don’t you, that a lot of people out

‘there can’t wait for Ted Bundy to die in the electric

chair? .
“A lot of people — not everyone but many, many people
on the street who are in favor of the death penalty — have

“Whatever forms it might take: assassination, terror:
