Kentucky to pay for club-fire defense By RICHARD WHITT Courier -Journal Staff Writer Defense attorneys for five people who have been sued in connection with the Beverly Hills Supper Club fire will be paid by the state of Kentucky through personal-service contracts. Gov.

Julian Carroll recently gave authorization for the five all present or former state employees to hire attorneys of their choosing at state expense. Insurance Commissioner Harold McGuffey said yesterday that the attorneys' fees will be paid by the Insurance Department through personal-service contracts. Atty. Gen. Robert Stephens previously had informed four of the defendants McGuffey, former Fire Marshal Warren Southworth and former Assistant Fire Marshals Stanley Boyd and John Bramlage that he would not defend them.

The fifth defendant, former Fire Marshal John Calvert of Morehead, did not ask the attorney general to provide counsel. But Calvert will be provided an attorney under the personal-service contract agreement, Carroll's press secretary, Gary Auxier, said. Calvert, Southworth's predecessor, said in a telephone interview yesterday that he was unaware arrangements had been made to pay for his defense.

CHOICE ROUND STEAK Had Stephens decided to provide a defense, the state would have been liable for up to $50,000 damages per case if the employees were found negligent. Providing defense attorneys under personal-service contracts apparently relieves the state of any such liability. Southworth, the former fire marshal, Boyd, his chief deputy, and Bramlage were all suspended following the state investigation into the May 28 fire, which killed 164 people. McGuffey yesterday hailed Carroll's decision to provide defense for the five men. "If the state hadn't decided to pick up the tab, it would have destroyed state government.

There would have been a mass exodus from Frankfort," he said. McGuffey noted that it is not uncommon for state employees to be sued, and that providing them with legal defense is also common. McGuffey said there is no way of estimating what the contracts would cost the state. He said the attorneys are paid on a sliding fee scale that ranges up to $75 an hour, depending on what members or employees of their firms perform various services. None of the personal-service contracts has been approved by the Personal Ser- vice Contract Review Commission, McGuffey said.

He said the need to act quickly meant there was no time to wait for commission review. "If they (the commissioners) don't approve it, I guess I'll be paying for it my- self," he said. Stephens, in a letter to Southworth that he released yesterday, cited three reasons for not defending the five men: "The alleged acts or omissions were not within the scope and course of your employment of a discretionary nature, but are premised on negligence. "Providing for you in subject actions would a conflict of indefense. terest between you and the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

"Providing defense for you in subject actions would not be in the best interest of the Commonwealth of Kentucky." Meanwhile, Campbell Circuit Judge John Diskin yesterday dismissed the city of Southgate as a defendant in the Beverly Hills suits filed in circuit court in Newport, Ky.
