years ago, killing a young mother

imony in his first trial and spine
less or woefully inadequate jury in

saved him from conviction and a
stiff term for causing those pitiful

Last Friday Fredlund went into
Minneapolis municipal court on an
other drunk driving charge. Police
said he admitted to them when he
was picked up in a beer parlor. In
court-after he'd conferred with
his attorney. Eugene Rerat-he de-
MED the charge and pleaded not
guilty.
On the evidence, one wonders if
Fredlund Is not trying to dull with
booze the memory of the CHASTITY

caused. Or is he merely staying
true to old habits? Two definite
conclusions can at least be drawn:
He appears to have learned moth
