Anne M. Lyddane murder con-

Attorney James H. Pugh of Mont
gomery county, appears in Balti
more court to oppose the release
of John Martin Boland.
Pugh will appear before Judge
Eugene O'Dunne in Baltimore

lease from the Maryland House
Of Correction where he is serving
four-year sentence for conspir-
ing to murder Francis "Slom"
Lyddane, husband of Anne.
Grounds for Boland's release,
according to counsel, are based
on the fact that Anne, formerly
Rockville bank secretary, who
was also indicted on the con-
spiracy charge, was acquitted dur
ing a second trial at Hagerstown,
Nd, last spring. The writ alleges
that Boland's conviction was
