Mr. Butler told him then that he wanted the man responsible caught, he said. Mr. Lightcap said he ordered that every resident in the area be detained and searched. Nothing was found on Mr. Jordan or Mr. Butler, he said. To the defense question, Mr. Lightcap admitted that some inmates could have gotten away from the area unsearched. The deputy superintendent testified that, investigation of the alleged murder at SCID turned up two knives in the inmate bathroom in the academic building. A trail of blood led from there, he said, down the corridor and out the door, to where Mr. Wilson was seen rolling on the ground. The prosecution next called William Baker, a SCID resident had been at a meeting of 12 Black Muslims during which the minister told Mr. Jordan and Mr. Butler that Mr. Wilson “had to go”. He also testified to having been in the corridor of the academic building at the time of the alleged murder. Mr. Baker testified that he saw the three men talking outside of the bathroom door, talk to you.” He said he saw them go into the bathroom and shortly thereafter Mr. Wilson came out crouching and screaming. Mr. Baker said that after he saw Mr. Wilson come out of the bathroom he ran past him, out of the door, and escaped being searched or found in the area by guards. He was afraid of being implicated, he explained. He testified that he walked out of the yard to the control office. He said that he stayed there for 10 or 15 minutes and then went to his counselor’s office, then after a talk “went into the hall for about five minutes,” he said. The witness stated that he looked out into the yard and saw the guards running around, frisking people and that he saw Mr. Wilson taken away. “You mean you did all that, and the guards had just begun to run around ' and’ frisk people?’’, Mr. Lemmond asked. Mr. Baker answered affirma- tively. He said that he next went tothe kitchen where he worked. The witness told the court that he saw someone put a weapon into the ground near where the search of prisoners was taking place, while looking out the kitchen window. He later retrieved the knife and hid it in his cell, he claimed. When asked who had put the knife in the ground, he pleaded his right not to answer under the Fifth Amendment. When he was asked if he had gone to Mr. Lightcap with his story of the stabbing volun- tarily, he said that he didn’t remember. Pathologist George A. Grin- away gave cause of death in the stabbing as loss of blood due to the severing of a large blood vessel. Ronald D. Williams, another inmate witness, testified that he had heard the ‘‘I want to talk to you’ statement. He said that he was standing at the water foun- tain just outside of the bath- room when he heard Mr. Wilson say, ‘Get your hands off me.” The witness said that he looked in to see each man holding the victim by one arm. “I saw Glenn stab him in the throat and Freddy stab him in the stomach’’, he said. He then related that he and many other inmates began running away. He reported, however, stopping to see the two defendants out of the room crouching. Mr. Lemmond asked the witness ‘‘when was the first time you told this story?’ Mr. Williams answered, ‘Four or five days after the incident, to trooper Taylor. Donald Taylor is the investigating officer from the Wyoming Barracks of the State Police. Both defense lawyers moved for dismissal on the grounds that no prima facie case had been found. The defendants were removed to SCID to await their grand jury indictment. Sign of od Ct or.

He voted ‘‘no”’, citing council’s lack of finalized specifications and plans, as well as claiming that the Authority had not fully looked into all’ the available grants and loans. The council- man claimed that the people of the borough ‘have been sold a bill of goods and have been panicked” into a premature acceptance of the HLMA'’s program. Councilman Fred Merrill said, Since my ghostwriter is on vacation, I'll just vote ‘‘yes’. This followed the lengthy pre- vote statements of Mr. Hoblak and Mr. Cadwalader and brought a good deal of laughter from the 50 residents in at- tendance. Carl Swanson stated, ‘To expedite the sewer I'll say “yes”, but I hope I'm not ex- pecting too much. I hope that the HLMA will furnish council with what we need.” Robert Wintersteen voted “yes’’, and those near him could hear him add ‘‘and amen.” The motion to adopt the or- dinance had been made by Mr. Merrill and seconded by Mr. Wintersteen. The passed ordinance was not the one submitted by the HLMA. Council solicitor Joseph Kasper reported that it had been lacking. He was of the opinion that it could have brought about legal problems. He had prepared a very care- fully worded ordinance that called for basically the same things that the HL.MA ordinance had called for. It was that or- dinance that had been passed. Mr. Kasper had, however, informed council that they couldn’t pass on the ordinance yet, because it would apply to “something that hasn’t come before council’, final specifi- cations and plans for the project. It was after it had been passed anyway, that chairman Cadwalader excused himself. John Stenger, secretary, pro- duced a sealed envelope, reporting that Mr. Cadwalader asked that it be read upon his departure. The letter was a resignation and an apology. The chairman wrote that he had taken the job hoping that he would have the “desire, dedication, knowledge and wisdom’ to do the job well. He noted that the recent elec- THE GOVERNMENT OF © Fe 4 3: DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY HARVEYS LAKE BOROUGH Ea OFFICE OF REVENUE SHARING a e- 1900 PENNSYLVANIA AVE. N.W.

Mr. Hoblak was again the sole ‘no’ voter. As at the past borough meetings the sewer project theme surfaced rapidly. After a routine vote to release the borough tax collector from his present real estate tax bond, chairman Cadwalader ex- pressed his surprise ‘‘that only two or three councilmen and a few residents’ showed up the night before for the HLMA meeting. Mr. Cadwalder reported that a possible $300,000 grant from the Appalachian Fund, had not been noted by the HLMA. He said that if the Authority ‘‘goes ahead and should apply for bids, and if they should be too high...that grant might be lost.” Next Frank Burnside, Pole 46, Harveys Lake, gained the floor to read a lengthy prepared statement. He praised the ef- forts of Mr. Cadwalader and Mr. Hoblak, blaming the project’s problems on the Authority, their engineers and the first Harveys Lake Borough Council, under chairman Francis Fisher. Still later on he threatened to take legal action, saying “I would be strongly inclined to personally take appeal action or seek a restraining injunction against any effort by council to enact the proposed ordinance in the absence of these require- ments having been fully met. It is my further opinion that all it has a large air drying coil that has completely exposed surface for maxi- mum condensation. Moisture-laden air is drawn in by the unit's fan, over this drying coil. present and past members of the authority and probably also of council are under heavy risk of surcharge in the matter of illegal payments in the amount of $90,000 to Glace and Glace. “I don’t want you to be paying my share and I don’t want any of us to be paying their’ S either.’ Mr. Burnside’s remarks com- plete, councilwoman Bernice Kocher said, ‘It’s nice to see that someone has a true picture of this.” The remark met with laughter from the assembled residents. Fran Fisher, chairman of that “first council’ which Mr. Burn- side blames with much of the borough's sewer problems, took the floor. Mr. Fisher first asked that he might have a copy of the Burnside statement so that he could ‘have the advantage of time that Mr. Burnside had in preparing it.” Mr. Fisher finished by saying that when he had been chair- man he ‘‘always noted that people of modest means were where the money was coming from. I think, following your remarks tonight, that now I know.” After Atty. Kasper read the new hookup ordinance, Mr. Hoblak brought forth his pre- pared statement. He submitted a document entitled ‘‘An ‘Act Attempting to Prevent Council from Fulfilling Their Duty Under Law’. The first page was a petition read April 12, 19 before council, by Fran FTsiier. The petition had been signed by hundreds of borough residents. It had claimed that the authority was near completion on the preparations for the sewer and that the FHA loan could be lost if council abolished the authority. The petition urged that council not abolish the authority. Mr. Hoblak said that all members of the authority had signed the document and “I'm stating that this document (the petition) had committed a fraud on the public.” It was then that Mr. Merrill moved that the hook-up ordi- nance be accepted. After passing the ordinance and dealing with Mr. Cad- walader’s resignation, council heard mayor William Connally praise Jean Jones, chairman of the successful clean-up: FROM STULL Kingston, Pa. 287-3194 ST rege © Rok desk sk ok ak sk ok she ok sk sk ke ke se se of sk she of she ole she sie ok Ske sk ke sk sk ok she kk 26 ok ok she oe she of she Se sl ok sk Ske she oe sk Ske ai she ok Sie dle se sk dl ok ke oe se of she Sk af sk ke sk sje ole Ske sje sk ok se ok of kk Ske sk ok ok dk ok sk sk dk ok ok Ee ————— Model ED255M Westinghouse “Heavy Duty” Dehumidifier Model ED255M Specially designed for unusu- ally high humidity situations or extra large rooms and basement areas ¢ Removes up to 25 pints of moisture per day e Adjustable humidistat o Automatic water overflow control e 10 quart high im- pact styrene bucket e¢ Com- pressor and fan motors are permanently lu ated e Garden hose Ye e Recessed wheels e Danish walnut vinyl laminated steel cabinet ¢ Pearl beige high im- pact styrene grille ¢ 5 year Replacement Warranty © Pro- tected by Nationwide Sure Service © 8Y,-ft. electrical. cord.
