By By JOAN THOMPSON Associated Press Writer WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. A mother who claimed her 7- year-old daughter was abducted from a flea market and pleaded tearfully on television for the girl’s safe return was convicted of murder yesterday in her beating death. Pauline Zile, 24, lowered her head and fought back tears as the guilty verdicts on charges of murder and child abuse were read. Prosecutors said they will seek the death penalty. No immediate date was set for the jury to return to consider the sentence. Pauline Zile was accused of abusing Christina Holt and causing her Sept. 16 death by not protecting the girl from her stepfather, John Zile. The cou ple kept the girl’s body in a closet for several days before Zile buried it. In October, a sobbing Pauline Zile went on TV with her hus band with a concocted story about how the girl was kidnap ped from a flea market bath room. Later that month, Zile led investigators to the child’s grave. “I think this verdict is an Congratulations PSMA (Penn State Marketing Association) for winning an unprecedented two-years-in-a-row Collegiate Chapter of the Year Awarded by the American Marketing Association at an international competition in New Orleans, April 6-8,1995.

He said he would ask Rapp to throw out the verdict and order a new trial in another county. State Attorney Barry Krisch er said the verdict is a warning to abusive parents: “These peo ple will be pursued, and they will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.” Zile, 32, is awaiting trial and could also face the death pen alty. He told police that the girl was beaten after repeatedly soiling herself but that her death was an accident. The defense called no wit nesses. At an earlier hearing, however, Pauline Zile’s lawyer read a letter she wrote to her husband, portraying herself as blameless except for not seeing her husband’s faults and not stopping the violence. Christina came to live with the Ziles and their two young sons in the couple’s one-bed room apartment in Riviera Beach last June after spending most of her life with relatives in Maryland. She went to school for only a few days before Pauline Zile took her out in what prosecu tors said was a way to prevent anyone from seeing signs of abuse. The Ziles’ former next-door neighbor Dayle Ackerman tes tified she overheard the fatal beating. She said she was get ting dressed when she heard shouting, crying and hitting sounds coming from the Ziles’ apartment.

The close ties between the Republican Party and the religious right are “starting to unravel” and the two are headed for divorce court, the founder of the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue declared yesterday. “I believe that the days of the marriage between the religious right and the GOP are numbered,” Randall Terry, who was recently released from jail, asserted at a news confer ence. “I believe a divorce is coming.” Terry said religious conservatives were dis appointed that the first 100 days of the new Congress lacked a “strong effort on abortion” and they would push for action on moral issues after the Easter congressional recess. “Their second 100 days should be dedicated to issues of morality,” he said, claiming to speak for “hundreds of thousands” like himself. Terry made his comments at a news confer Screaming church ladies move to another parish GREENSBURG A Roman Catholic church beseeched a judge yesterday to hush up two women who last week were banned from another parish for praying so loudly they drowned out the choir. For the third consecutive day, Joan Sudwoj and Cynthia Balconi shouted the rosary at Blessed Sacrament Cathedral before and after the 6:30 a.m. and 8 a.m. Masses. On Friday, Judge Bernard Scherer banned the women from another church, Holy Cross Church in Youngwood, until they comply with the pastor’s rules. Cecelia Miscovich, a third wom an who also prayed loudly, met with church attorneys before the judge’s ruling and agreed to quiet down. Parishioners at Holy Cross endured two years during which Sudwoj, Balconi and Miscovich who has since agreed to quiet down disrupted services by Friday, April 21,1995 10:00 AM Ryszard Krystosik Polish diplomat ence at which he announced protests would be held in Washington, D.C. next week on behalf of refugees of the Golden Venture, a rusty freighter that ran aground off Rockaway Beach, N.Y., in June 1993 with nearly 300 Chinese men and women on board. He would not release details of the protests planned for next Tuesday and Wednesday, except to say they would involve civil disobe dience. Most of the refugees remain in U.S. custody while they seek asylum on the grounds that they fled China to avoid sterilizations and forced abortions under the communist nation’s population control policy of one child per fam ily. Some of the asylum-seekers have been deported. But the Clinton administration, claiming the China policy is not the same as personal per secution, since it is nationwide, has not granted asylum. Terry said House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R- Ga., should intervene on behalf of the refugees, splashing holy water around and shouting the rosary louder than the priest’s preaching or the choir. Vincent Morocco, an attorney for the Diocese of Greensburg, filed a petition yesterday asking Scherer for a second injunction, this time to ban any disruptions at Blessed Sacrament. Scherer set a hearing for 9 a.m. today. The motives of the women, who decline to speak to reporters on the telephone or in person, remain a mystery. “They don’t respond to the priests when they’ve tried to talk with them,” said Alice Laurich, diocese spokeswoman. On Monday, Balconi left Blessed Sacrament after the early Mass. Monsignor Robert Shuda brought children in for their pre-Easter confessions and quietly asked Sudwoj to lower her voice while the children were there. “She just raised her voice loud- Laurich said.

Lauren Sims, a Gingrich spokeswoman, had no immediate comment. “The religious right got behind you because of our moral concerns and this is one of them,” Terry said of Republicans. “This is a chance for you to show that you don’t take us for granted.” He said his group will meet with Gingrich staff next Tuesday and would press for a meeting with the speaker to discuss possible legislation. Terry reiterated that sentiment on yesterday. “The Republican Party cannot win without us. If we leave the party, the party becomes irrelevant,” he said.
