Slack Appeal
Is Granted in
Staying Case

ANNAPOLIS, May 81 (AP).-I
The Court of Appeals has Or
dered further court proceedings
for Bennie Lee Slack, now Serv-
ing q 15-year prison term i'm
posed in Montgomery County
in 1856 for 2nd-degree murder
in the shooting Of his father.
The high court ordered fur
ther testimony heard on Slack's
claim that he was misled by
his court-appointed attorney
into pleading guilty to the
charge in the shotgun Staying
Of his father at a Darnestown
Md farm.
He argued that he was guilty,
at the most, Of involuntary
manslaughter and said wit
nesses at the trial conference
were not summoned to testify
in his behalf at a later hearing
under the States Post-Convic-
ton Procedure Act.
He was 18 at the time of
the trial and maintained he
was drunk the night his father
was shot. Police said the father,
Robert Slack, As, was shot
while trying to take a shotgun
from his intoxicated son.
In granting Slack's plea for
an appeal and remanding the
case for further proceedings,
the high court said:
Whatever. Slack's prospects
may be, Of establishing his con-
tentions, we are Of the opinion
that under the Post Con-
viction Procedure Act he was
entitled to have the testimony
OF witnesses who participated
in the conference leading up
to his pleas adduced in ac-
cordance with the act and to
have the facts determined by
the court on such evidence
rather than on an inference
that the applicants new coun-
sci thought their testimony
would be of no help and on the
courts knowledge of the repu-
tation, standing and ability of
counsel in the prior proceed
ings."
