There will be no comment, Stafford said later. feel all right about the case, I have a job to do, said Carrouth, who did practically all of the courtroom work for the government in the trial. Hug Jurors Defense attorneys, defendants and their supporters walked up to the jury box after Judge Arnow released them, and began shaking hands with or hugging jurors, who had all been watching with broad smiles as the verdict was read. The verdict is obviously a verdict for the people, said Defense Attorney Morton Stavis. I hope the government gets the message and puts an end to this type Oh, I of prosecution. The case was- - presented to a grand jury last summer by Justice Department Prosecutor Guy Goodwin, who was the agency's main prober of radical activity during the last years of the antiwar movement. Goodwin, who brought many indictments, including ones against the Berrigan brothers in Harrisburg and 23 persons accused of breaking into a draft board in Camden, N.J., had returned to e Washington in the middle of the trial without ever making an appearance in court here after the trial began. Gain-esvil- Goodwin has been criticized in the past by civil libertarians for using the grand jury system for political purposes.. Defense attorneys in the Gainesville case had continued that criticism and expand- ed it to include the local U.S. attorneys that were now trying the case, saying it was a political irial." They contended that many of the statements allegedly made by defendants about an attack on the convention, with a bizarre arsenal of weapons ranging from slingshots to crossbows, may have occurred. But, as Defense Attorney Brady Coleman said dur. . . you can't ing closing !wguments, convict someone for talking. The government, meanwhile, had continued to believe that its string of 28 witnesses had proven that those discussions had ended with an agreement to actually cause havoc at the Republican convention, a possibility that was averted only with the defendants indictment and arrest before the convention occurred. wnst-brace- d The Pisces II suffered operational difficulties while using a remote control robot arm to try to get a heavy duty line through the lift point on the crippled vessel and raise it to the surface.

Atlantic - MIAMI (UPI) Tropical storm Christine, strengthening as it churned toward the Leeward Islands with 60 m.p.h. winds, was expected to grow into a hurricane sometime Friday or Saturday. On the present course and speed, the center would be approaching the Leeward Islands early Monday morning, said Dr. Robert H. Simpson, director of the National Hurricane Center. "Indications are for continued slow intensification to full hurricane (of 74 strength 24 within winds) m.p.h. hours," Simson said in a noon advisory. Christine was located at 6 p.m. EDT near latitude 12.8 north and longitude 48.8 west, or about 700 miles east of Barbados. This was about 2,300 miles southeast of Miami Top sustained winds were estimated at 60 m.p.h. an hour and the storm was moving west northwest at 14 miles a hour. The owners of the subs insisted that the lift operation has proven itself in tests under Tough weather conditions. The questionable factor throughout the search efforts was whether there would be enough time. The trapped men first were ordered to maintain silence to conserve air. Although radio telephone contact with them was maintained, rescue ships had trouble pinpointing their location. The rescuers, in two similar midget submarines, took 11 hours to find the sunken sub and more precious time to link a light guideline to it. The sub that suffered operational dift ficulties was using a remote control robot arm to try to get a heavy duty line through the lift point on the crippled vessel and raise it to the surface. h xoMstsr WCTU Holds Annual Meet & SAVE Tribune Telephone Numbers Do you need information, want sports scores, have a news story or feature you want to talk about?
