Early last month a Johnston confederate, Leslie Dale, led the police to the body of an informer, Gary Wayne Crouch, in a shallow grave in dense woods near West Chester. A few weeks later, in the woods near Chadds Ford-a locale made famous by Artist Andrew Wyeth-state police unearthed the bodies of three gang associates: Wayne Sampson, 20, Duane Lincoln, 17, and James Johnston, 18.

A squad shotgun-toting U.S. marshals and state troopers hustled Bruce Johnston Jr. to the courthouse, where he testified at a preliminary hearing against his father and Leslie Dale.
