MINEOLA, Nov. % (P).--An-
gelo LaMarca said today his
mind was blank when he con-
fessed the July kidnap-slaying
of Peter Weinberger. He accused
FBI agents of putting words in
his mouth by force.
Thus, LaMarca told an all
male jury, he confessed after his
arrest August % that he and
an unnamed accomplish kid
naped the 32-day-old baby July
4 and abandoned 1t the next day
to it's death.
Speaking of the August % in
terrogation by the FBI, Defense
Attorney David Markowitz asked:
AT that time did you actually
know whether there had been
anybody with you?"
mo, I did not" LaMarca re-
piled. They suggested there
was someone with me. :"
LaMarca said he was willing
to go along with the suggestions
Of the FBI agents because Il
didn't know for sure one way or
the other"
No Actual Reputation
LaMarca did not actually re-
pudiate his confessions, but the
defense line Of questioning APP
parently was intended to cast
doubt on them and pave the way
for LaMarca to tell his own story
of the kidnapping from the wit
ness stand later.
The Weinberger baby was taken
from the patio of his home at
Westbury. N. Y. on the after
noon of Independence Day. The
kidnaper left a $1,000 ransom
note, but never collected the
money.
The child's body was found in
a Long Island honeysuckle
thicket near LaMarca's home at
Plainview, N. Y, the day after
his arrest.
The 31-year-old auto mechanic
and cab driver is on trial for
his life in Nassau County Court,
charged with first degree murder
and kidnapping. He has pleaded
insanity brought on by financial
worries.
LaMarca testified he under
went hours of interrogation after
his arrest by the FBI. He added
that his memory of the kidnap-
ing was very vague. He testified:
Il couldn't understand myself
what had happened and
couldn't give them much salts

Mrs. Folk says the dining room
set, made by the Barnes cabinet
shop in Gaithersburg, twas a pre-
sent from us to u.s." 1t is made
of light pine, rubbed and polished
to a high gloss.
The table is a gentle oval. In
stead of legs, it has solid chest
like base, with a hinged top so
things can be stored in it, Mrs.
Folk keeps her silver there. The
table top is hinged so that it can
be folded back into a verticle
position.
Then the table becomes a
bench - the top is the back and
the base is the seat.
Two long deacon benches on
either side of the table also have
hinged tops, which can fold flat
to make tables.
Captains Chairs Too
Specially-made captains chairs
sit at the head and foot of the
table. These are to remind Mr.
Folk of his seagoing background

naval chief petty officer with 20
years of service. To keep from
being bored land to keep him out

has taken position with the

eSda.
To match the table, the Folks
had a seven-foot high dish cab
met, made of the same pine, with
old iron hardware. Four shelves
hold plates and cups.
The walls of the dining room
are creamy pink, with the kitch-
en- wall medium green. Sheer
white curtains cover the windows.
Between the windows TWO pine
what-not shelves hold Mrs. Folks
collection of odd salt and pepper
shakers. Just under the shelves
is a small pine table which Mr..
Folk made to hold their coffee
service.
