Rodham love triangle scuffle stuns small lake community

By Gina Thackara
August 21, 2001


LAKE WINOLA -- Residents of this tiny Wyoming County community are
accustomed to a little extra commotion during the summer months.

The Rodhams -- the family of a former first lady -- have always been quiet
part-time neighbors, most people say. But that changed when, according to a
police report, a love triangle turned violent early Sunday morning.

Daniel Martin Coyne, 45, of P.O. Box 74, Lake Winola, is accused of
assaulting the brother of U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., after
finding him with his girlfriend at the Rodham family cottage.

Mr. Coyne is free on $25,000 bail. He was charged with assault and burglary
after twice attacking Anthony Dean Rodham, 47, of Washington, D.C., at the
summer cottage, police said.

According to the arrest affidavit, Mr. Coyne told police he climbed onto
the porch of the cottage between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. and observed his
girlfriend, Kelly Ann Quick, 36, and Mr. Rodham "having sex" in the living
room.

The small yellow cottage sits on a hill, and the front porch has no steps
leading to it. Mr. Coyne had to scale the latticework up to the porch and
haul himself over the railing.

Mr. Coyne said he let himself in by the front door and started kicking Mr.
Rodham.

According to the affidavit, the noise woke Mr. Rodham's brother, Hugh
Rodham, 49, of Coral Gables, Fla. Hugh Rodham came downstairs to find Mr.
Coyne kicking Tony, who was in a fetal position in front of the couch on
the living room floor.

Hugh Rodham told Mr. Coyne to leave the house -- and he did.

But Mr. Coyne told police he went back to the Rodham house a short while
later, claiming he needed to get his house key from Ms. Quick. He said he
found her with Tony Rodham on the front porch and attacked him again. Hugh
Rodham and Ms. Quick helped to restrain Mr. Coyne after the second attack.

Tony Rodham admitted hitting Mr. Coyne, but claimed it was in self defense,
according to the affidavit.

Mr. Coyne was arrested after calling state police from the emergency room
at Tyler Memorial Hospital in Tunkhannock, where he was treated for a
swollen left eye, lacerations on his right leg and chest and a dislocated
left shoulder.

Tony Rodham had scrapes and abrasions on the left side of the face, chin
and ear, and his nose was swollen, police said.

No one answered the door at the cottage Monday.

Members of the Rodham family usually spend a few weeks at the cottage, said
Walter Rayannic, proprietor of the Lake View Meat Market, which is across
the street from the Rodham cottage.

"They come up here two or three weeks out of the year. And now they're
cleaning the place up, doing some construction in there," Mr. Rayannic
said. "I guess they had a little problem."

Other neighbors said the Rodham brothers were overseeing a project to add a
bathroom to the cottage.

The little yellow house was built by the Rodhams' and Sen. Clinton's
grandfather and has been a family vacation spot for years, neighbors said.
Their father, Hugh Rodham Sr., was born in Scranton and resided in
Lackawanna County until he moved to Chicago to work as a salesman in the
lace industry. He died in 1993 and was buried in Scranton.

Tony Rodham has a job history that includes insurance salesman, prison
guard, cable-service repo man and a private investigator. He is a
Washington consultant who travels around the world in search of business
opportunities.

In 1994, he married Nicole Boxer, daughter of U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer,
D-Calif., in a Rose Garden ceremony -- the last wedding to be held at the
White House. They divorced last year.

Hugh Rodham played football for Penn State, was a Peace Corps volunteer and
spent more than a decade as an assistant public defender, including several
years working in Miami's pioneering drug court. He is now a lawyer in
Florida who works on class-action lawsuits.

The brothers gained national attention in March 2001 when a congressional
committee examined the controversial pardons and commutations President
Clinton granted before leaving office in January.

A House panel cited $434,000 that Hugh Rodham collected -- and subsequently
repaid -- for lobbying the White House on behalf of two felons seeking
presidential clemency. Tony Rodham acknowledged that he, too, lobbied Mr.
Clinton on behalf of a friend and business associate who was later
pardoned, but said he didn't receive money for his efforts.

Mr. Coyne was arraigned before District Justice Russell Shurtleff in
Factoryville on felony charges of burglary and criminal trespass and a
misdemeanor charge of simple assault. The burglary charges stem from his
entering the cottage, although he allegedly did not take any items, the
affidavit said.

Mr. Coyne was sent to the Wyoming County Prison but then released after
posting bail. He faces a preliminary hearing on Aug. 28.

Wyoming County District Attorney George Skumanick is continuing the
investigation.
