Third Inmate
In
Pen Staying

LEWISBURG, Pa. R-The FBI
today charged a third inmate at
Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary
with the murder of William W.
Remington, former government
economist convicted of perjury,
and in so doing provided the first
clue to the motive for the Staying.
Norman H. McCabe, special
agent in charge of the Philadelphia
FBI office, announced that Lewis
eagle Jr., II, of Chattanooga,
Tenn, has been charged with the
murder of Remington on Monday.
McCabe said eagle admitted in
statement shat he, along with
Mccoy and Parker, planned to
ransack Remington's room on Nov.
% and the assault took place while
they were in his (Remington's)
room"
Others Charged
The other two prisoners referred
to were George Junior Mccoy, "a.
of Grundy, Va, and Robert Carl
Parker, 81, of Washington DC,
who were charged with participa.-
ing in the beating administered to
Remington with a part of a brck
wrapped in a sock.
Remington, who was serving a
three-year sentence for perjury
after denying he gave government
secrets to Communists, died of a
skull injury in the prison hospital
Wednesday.
The clue as to the motive for the
Staying ended speculation that the
Staying might have been an act
rejecting anti Communist feeling
in the prison.
The development came less than
"a hours before these same prison
gates are scheduled to open for
Alger Hiss who has spent three
and a half years in the jail. His
wife, Priscilla, was expected to
meet him at the prison gates.

Sheppard House

CLEVELAND Up - Photographs
showing a trail of blood spots
through the Sheppard house of
murder were introduced by the
state today.
There were Is pictures. The de-
fense objected unsuccessfully to
four Of them.
Henry Dombrowski, a chemist
with IL years experience in the
police laboratory, identified the
photos from the witness stand.
He was a prosecution witness at
the first degree murder trial of
DR.. Samuel H. Sheppard, the Bay
Village osteopath who is accused
of the July A fatal bludgeoning of
his wife Marilyn,. 81.
Chalk marks and pointing pen
ellis were used to call attention to
the blood spots, many of which
We're quite small.
Trail OF Spots
The specks - from basement to
bedroom and from door to door
inside and out - were detected
by substance called luminol
This is a liquid which Dombrow-
ski said produces a blush green
fluorescence if the spot is blood,
but does not indicate whether the
blood is human or animal.
The jurors passed the photo
graphs around from hand to hand,
looking them over.
Pictures to which defense attor-
ney Fred Garmone objected were,
he said, either duplicates of other
pictures closeups taken from a
different angle - or there were
other things in the pictures .Iat
he apparently felt did not belong
there.
Continuance Asked
At the beginning of the session
Judge Edward Blythin excused the
jury while defense counsel william
J. Corrigan renewed his motion
for continuance of the trial, now
ending its sixth week.
Corrigan produced two copies of
the Cleveland Press of Wednesday
and yesterday. He said they con-
tanned ''prejudicial statements"
and that the material covered was
striking at the very foundations
of jurisprudence"
The stories dealt with reporters
interviews - one with friends and
relatives Of the slain Marilyn Shep-
pard, the other a feature about a
woman jurors family struggling
along without her while she was on
duty.
The juror, Mrs. Lois Mancini,
was not at the home when her
family was interviewed and pic

Blythin noted in overruling the
motion.

'DisgruntIed =
Crew Blamed For
Sabotage Reports

The "City of Key West
will sail on schedule Satur-
day from Key West to Car
denas, Cuba, according to
N. C. Hines, executive wee
president Of the Caribbean
Ferry System, Inc.
Hines told The Citizen in Miami
that the firing of the entire crew
e the vessel as result OF dissen-
sion would not interrupt the sche-
dule of the ship which has been
furnishing auto ferry service De-
tween Key West and Cuba since
Oct. 2.
Arrives Tonight
The ship. now in Miami. dry
dock for improvements, is due to
arrive in Key West tonight and
will sail for Cardenas at S:S0a. M,
Saturday, Hines said.
Hines SAID reports published in
a Miami newspaper that the ship
was in danger of being sabotaged
were the result of malicious lies
told by q disgruntled employee
At the same time, Hines said
that Capt. Robert Creighton, a vet
eran Of 20 years in the merchant
service, has been appointed as mas
ter of the 1000 ton ship. He re-
places Capt. George H. Reid. who
was discharged along with his
eight-man crew.
Reason For Firing
Chief reason for the decision OF
the company board of directors to
fire the crew was the failure of
Reid to maintain schedules, result
ing in thousands Of dollars in over
time pay to the crew.
Hines said that the company had
been having trouble with the
crew" since the ship made its first
trip Oct. 2. capt. Reid didn't
seem to have very good control
over them," said Hines. !.
Hines also revealed that Joseph
n. Church was removed from his
post as general manager of ferry
operations as result Of the dis
sension.
Church, a major stockholder in
the firm, win continue as treasurer
of the firm and will serve on its
board of directors until we vote
to remove him." Hines added.
Church was replaced Wednesday
by Alex Balfe, Miami marine in
dustrialist.
Reservations Pour In
Meanwhile, ferry company Off
cials have reported that reserva-
tions for the winter season cross
ings have been pouring into their
Miami office at a brisk rate from
all over the nation.
1T looks like we viii be operat-
ing at capacity starting in Dec
ember," said Hines. He added that
the company presently has options
on three larger ships.
They are negotiating, in parti-
cular for purchase of 450-foot lux
ury vessel which would accommo-
date IT'S cars and more than
thousand passengers. The Getty Of

tween Cuba and the Isle of Pines
The ship is being improved in
Miami by the addition of two five
bladed propllors and S0-tons of
ballast to make it more comfort
able. Passengers making the trip
