Leo Ryan murder suspect will stand trial
I* GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP)
Larry Layton, an X-ray technician at the
Peoples Temple commune, was ordered
yesterday to stand trial before the
Guyanese Supreme Court for allegedly
*killing U.S. Rep. Leo Ryan.
Magistrate Krishna Veni Chinta made
the ruling after a three-week
prqliminary inquiry into the shooting
dOths of the California Democrat and
tree newsmen
. at the Port Kaituma
.9irstrip after their visit to the sect's
nearby Jonestown settlement.
Those killings Nov. 18 touched off a
maps poisoning of Peoples Temple
followers that left more than 900 persons
ded. ,
After the magistrate's decision, the 32-
cholorformed him, drove him to his northwest suburban
home and sexually attacked him. Rignall said he later
was driven to Lincoln Park and dumped near a statue.
Rignall has said that during the attack, Gacy held
him in handcuffs while another man apparently turned
on the kitchen light in Gacy's home.
Rignall also has claimed a man confronted him in
front of Gacy's home several months after the attack
and asked him not to tell Gacy's mother about the rape.
"That individual does exist, but he's dropped out of
sight," said Rignall's attorney, Fred A. Richman.
Richman and Rignall appeared in misdemeanor
court Tuesday to ask that battery charges against Gacy
stemming from the March incident be raised to felony.
Richman argued that the charge against Gacy should
be raised because Rignall's liver may have been
seriously damaged by the chloroform.
Cook County Associate Judge Ben Edelstein post-
year-old Layton declared loudly: "I am
innocent of the charge. I did not shoot at,
or conspire with anyone to shoot at
Congressman Ryan, or any other per
son."
He declined to give evidence on oath or
call any witnesses. The next session of
the Supreme Court is scheduled to begin
Jan. 9.
Layton also is accused of killing four
other persons, including the three
newsmen and a cult defector, but the
hearing date for these cases has yet to be
set.
The prosecution closed its case
Tuesday after the government's
pathologist, Dr. Leslie Mootoo, said
Ryan received 21 injuries and died from
shock and hemorrhage due to multiple
gunshot wounds. Ryan suffered from a
compound skull fracture, damage to the
brain and the perforation of both lungs,
he said.
The doctor said he found two bullets in
Ryan's body during the autopsy Nov. 20.
Leading defense attorney Jainarine
Singh argued that the charge against

poned the case until March 2.
Sam Amirante, Gacy's attorney, said Gacy did not
appear at the court hearing for security reasons and
"because he's still a physically sick man."
Gacy, who reportedly suffers from heart trouble,
remained in a hospital jail, where he has been strapped
to his bed to prevent possible suicide or escape at
tempts.
Gacy also did not appear in court Friday to face
charges of slaying Piest. Piest's body has not yet been
identified but investigators said Gacy told them he
dumped it and four others in the Des Plaines River after
his crawl space could no longer accomodate more
bodies.
Investigators planned to use a special heat sensor,
originally designed to locate Vietnam dead, to search
for more bodies today beneath the Gacy's quiet
suburban home.
Layton should be struck out on the
following grounds:
There was no evidence the accused
shot or murdered Ryan or did any act
that caused his death.
There was no evidence that the
accused was present when Ryan was
shot and killed. .
