CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP)- Prosecutors are set to try convincing a federal judge that members of the Pagans Motorcycle Club shouldn't be released before trial on murder conspiracy, racketeering and other charges.

The first detention hearings are scheduled for Tuesday in Charleston. Among those scheduled to appear are Pagans national Vice President Floyd B. "Jesse" Moore of St. Albans.

Moore and more than 50 other members and associates of the outlaw motorcycle club were named in the 44-count indictment. While some have been released, prosecutors want Moore and others, including club president David Barbeito of Myersville, Md., held pending trial.

In Moore's case, prosecutors contend no conditions of release will protect the community.
