...There will be death, killing," predicted Vickie Singer, a leader of the polygamous clan holding out in a log cabin against some 150 police and FBI agents in Marion, Utah. When authorities finally broke the 13-day siege last week, her grim prophecy became truth. Lieut. Fred House, 35, a state prison dog handler, was killed by shots from the cabin. The clan's male leader, Addam Swapp, 27, was wounded by officers. After the exchange of gunfire, the remaining 14 family members, including nine children, surrendered without injury...

She says that she received three unsigned letters containing threats such as "whistle-blowers face loss of home, family and life." Two of the other whistle-blowers also charge that anonymous telephone threats have been made against their children; they do not accuse the companies...
Last week several hundred feet beyond their fence, the hostile world waited. More than 150 police and FBI agents surrounded the compound shortly after Swapp allegedly dynamited the nearby Mormon church on Jan. 16. The heavily armed clan of messianic polygamists was holed up with ample food and water, goading the authorities to deliver them to martyrdom and thereby bring about the resurrection of their dead patriarch, Vickie's husband John Singer...
