Mudd's appeal to clear his name as a in Abraham Lincoln's assassination was finally heard and he won, though only in a mock trial. A moot court ruled Friday that the military commission that convicted Mudd in 1865 and sentenced him to life in prison had no right to try him in the first place. ; Attorney F. Lee Bailey argued Mudd's case in the fmock trial, staged on the 184th anniversary of Lincoln's birth. "Mudd's prosecution was one 'sledgehammer after another 'upon thfe Constitution," Bailey e the panel at the University of Richmond's T.C. ;:Williams School of Law. No real court has agreed to rehear the case, but Mudd's have waged a long "battle to clear his name. "My grandfather never got a "fair trial, so this is a great day," :said Mudd's granddaughter, lEmily Mudd Rogerson, 86, of Richmond. Chief Judge Robinson O. retired senior judge of the U.S. Court of Military Appeals, and another moot court judge ruled that Mudd, a civilian, should have been tried by a civilian jury, not the military commission. The court didn't formally rule on Mudd's guilt or innocence, but the third judge said the case against Mudd wa.sn't sufficient to convict him. "I cannot resist the temptation of saying I have very serious doubts whether an impartial military panel distanced from the moment ... would have found the evidence presented was sufficient beyond a reasonable doubt," said Edward D. Re, retired senior judge of the ;4old three-judg- Ev-ere- tt, U.S. Court of International Trade. The moot court ruling isn't binding, but Bailey said he hopes the Army will use it in considering whether to erase Mudd's conviction.

Prosecutors said they might ask the United States to extradite the suspect, identified as Nebiu Demeke, 20, so he could TK stand trial in Germany. He was W York in New on a Friday arraigned charge of air piracy, which carries a jail term of 20 years to life, and ordered held without bail. The hijacking Thursday has embarrassed Germany and raised new questions about security at Frankfurt airport, which came under fire following the 1 988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. That plane was torn apart by a bomb allegedly placed aboard in Frankfurt. More that 30 million passengers passed through Frankfurt airport last year, making it one of the world's biggest hubs and Europe's busiest airport.

Sporadic hostilities continued for several months and the military court that convened in June was within its rights to try Mudd and seven others, said Douglass, dean of the National College of District Attorneys in Houston and a former commandant of the Army Judge Advocate Generals School. Mudd claimed he knew nothing of the killing when Booth arrived on horseback in the early hours of April 15 at his home in Maryland 30 miles from Washington.
