The kids go out and hide, not in too private a spot, and the adults go out and find them then do whatever kind of sex they ant to with them," Rud said. He said he took a girl about 9 or 10 years old into a bedroom in the house and had oral sex with her.

CAP) -The only adult scheduled to testify for the government against a couple accused of sexually abusing children during 'hide-and-seek" games at parties failed to identify the male defendant from the witness stand. As a result. Carver County District Court Judge Martin Mansur on Monday ordered all testimony by James John Rud involving Robert Bentz stricken from the record. Rud, who is scheduled to take the stand for a second day today, was asked bv Scott County Attorney Kathleen Morris on Monday to point out Bentz and his wife. Lois, each of whom is charged with 12 counts of criminal sexual conduct involving children under the age of 13 and 12 counts of sexually abusing their own children.

The Bentzes are among 24 adults charged with more than 400 counts of sexuallyabusing children in Scott County. They are the first to be tried in what the prosecution has alleged are two sex rings with some common members. Rud identified Mrs. Bentz, the only woman at the defense table, but was unable to identify Bentz, who was sitting with two male defense lawyers. Rud also was unable to describe how Bentz looked in the summer of 1983, hen both men allegedly participated in a party where Rud said adults participated in sex acts with children.

"I'm not quite sure how he looked," Rud said. Rud, 27, pleaded guilty earlier to 10 counts of criminal sexual conduct. An additional 98 counts against him were dropped in exchange for his promise to testify against other adults charged in the case. Also Monday, Mansur or- Crime reports Bond set Anthony Q.

But even as the prospect of an end to the strike glowed brightly the bitterness of 46 days without pay was evident as union members ran up and down the aisles ith placards reading "Fire all scabs" and "Scabs will burn." Mrs. Turner drew the only catcalls of the evening when she announced that in return for management's promise to forgo reprisals against any striker, "the union will not take any action against scabs."

"But that doesn't mean that we can't act on our own." Hospital administrators say more than 1,000 people may have crossed picket lines during the strike.
