7 Ivi Due to Testify
In RieseI Case Today

NEW YORK. Dec. 4 R.-Tlle
defense opens today in the trial
of three men on charges that
they conspired to aid an acid
hurler after he blinded labor
columnist Victor Riesel.
At least one of the defendants.
Leo Telvi. is expected to take
the stand in his own defense.
Telvi's slain brother Abe, is al
legedly the man who threw the
acid at Mr.. Riesel.
Also on trial are Gondolfo Mi
ranti and Domenico Bando.
Four others, including labor
racketeer John Johnny Dio)
Dioguardi, are to be tried later
on charges of plotting the at
tack.
Mr.. Riesel, the Governments
last witness, yesterday told the
story of the attack and said it
came Just as he was about 10
give his attacker a quarter,
thinking he was a panhandler.
Lounging Under Marquee
The columnist said the man
was lounging under a theater
marquee as Mr.. Riesel left
Lindy's Restaurant early on the
morning of April S.
When the man approached,
Mr.. Riesel said, he assumed he
was going to ask for a tip for
watching his car, or just a hand
out. The man never said any,
thing but hey" the columnist
testified.
Then, Mr.. Riesel continued,
he felt "the deluge-it was more
than a splash--it was a COM
lplete sudden burst Of liquid
hit my face"
He said that at first he didn't
realize what had happened,
then came the sharpest, most
painful burning 1 ever felt" He
said he cried out: II am hit. I
am hit by acid. I will not be able
to readl"
Scars Around Eyes
Mr.. Riesel was asked to re-
move his dark glasses, acid burns
were plain around his eyes.
Il am totally blind" he tes-
titled.
The defense asked Mr.. Riesel
on cross-examination If he had
ever been subpoenaed to testify
before a grand jury-apparently
referring to Government charges
that Mr.. Riesel was attacked
because he was a prospective
witness.
United States Attorney Paul
Williams objected, contending
that "the Government is only
proving the manning Of this
man at this time" Judge Will
liam B. Herlands upheld the
objection.
Miranti, Bando and Leo Telvi
are under indictment, like the
other defendants. on charges of
Iconspiring to obstruct justice by
intimidating a prospective wit
ness through the attack on Mr..
iRiesel. The Federal grand jury
was investigating racketeering
in the garment manufacturing
and the trucking industries.
However, the Government has
said it is only attempting in
this trial to prove against the
