WKYT - Lexington - Headlines  More Rummage tapes heard in bid-
rig trial   LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - A defense attorney in a
Kentucky bid-ridding trial played recordings in court that he
says show law enforcement officials tried to trump up charges
against his client, road contractor Leonard Lawson.  The
recordings were played Wednesday during cross-examination of key
prosecution witness Jim Rummage, a former Transportation Cabinet
official. Prosecutors say Rummage was the reluctant middle man
between Lawson and former Transportation Secretary Bill
Nighbert, who is accused of supplying Lawson with confidential
internal bid estimates for state projects.  Rummage, an FBI
agent, a federal prosecutor and others were heard on the tapes
discussing what the defense argues was a plot to incriminate
Lawson.  Rummage has said he recorded multiple conversations at
first to gather evidence to protect himself from criminal
charges and later in cooperation with FBI agents who had begun
an investigation.   Disqus has not been se
