married this past Tuesday by
an Arlington Justice Of the

Stewart Guilty,
Counsel Plans
New Appeal

For the fourth time in five
trials, a jury has told Willie
Lee Stewart that he is guilty
of murder and must die in the
electric chair.
Stewart stood emotionleSS
yesterday as jury foreman
James r. Boone announced the
verdict: guilty as charged, "
with no recommendation to
spare his life. Stewart gazed di-
rectly but blankly at the jury
of 10 women and two men; his
eyes blinked a few times, but
otherwise he did not react.
The jury began its delibera-
tions at 11:15 yesterday morn
ing and returned its verdict
five hours later.
He will be sentenced formal
ly next Tuesday by District
Court Judge Alexander Holtz-
off, After the trial, Charles B.
Murray, who defended Stewart,
said he plans to appeal.
Each of Stewards three pre-
vious convictions were reversed
by the appellate court. A
fourth trial, held in May, end
ed with. the jury unable to
reach a verdict.
Stewart has spent many
hours in courtrooms and in
jails since 1853 when he
walked into Harry Honikman's
grocery store in Southeast
Washington, pulled out a pis-
tol and said "this is it,"
While Mrs. Honikman
screamed and her daughter
looked on, Stewart shot Mr..
Honikman in the chest and
killed him. He then scooped up
$416 from the cash register
and fled.
The defense has admitted all
along that Stewart killed Mr..
Honikman, but it has contend
ed he was not responsible for
what he did.
Mr.. Boone, of 1915 Twenty
ninth street Sc, said the jury
yesterday was from the start
in unanimous agreement as to
Stewards guilt. 1t debated,
however. over whether to in
clude a recommendation for
life in prison or to leave SEN
fencing up to the judge.

Parks RuIinq
On East Lea

President Kennedy's adviser
for National Capital Affairs,
Charles A. Horsky, today said
he will ask the National Park
Service about the possibility of
routing the east leg of the
inner loop along the west bank
of the Anacostia River.
District Commissioners Wal
ter N. Tobriner and John B.
Duncan last June told Congress
they would like to see a study
of an alternate route along the
river to avoid displacing hun
dreds Of families along Eleventh
street Southeast.
At that time the District
Highway Department favored
freeway route that would run
along Eleventh street and join
with Interstate 95 in Prince
Georges County.
The House Appropriations
Committee directed the High
way Department to make the
study, and the Highway De-
partment made preliminary in
vestigations for two different
routes.
One would have gone through
the National Arboretum. The
Agriculture Department re-
fused to let its land be used.
But the National Park Service
would not take any stand until
further study.
Now the District Highway
Department wants to know
whether the Park Service, which
has a history of opposition to
many highway projects, would
permit a freeway.
Both the Eleventh street Sc.
and Anacostia bank freeway
proposals have been opposed by
the National Capital Transpor-
tation Agency.

record as regretting that "the
dismissal of the (old) school
board was linked to the queS-
ton of the transfer of the re-
sponsibility for school con-
struction from the school board
to the Public Works Depart
ment."
In its place went a sentence
deploring 1.-THE several circum-
stances which led to the an
nounced loss of confidence in
the past school board"
The federation will consider
a restudied statement at its
December meeting.
During the debate last night
the delegates voted down a
strong substitute statement Of
fered from the floor. 1t called
for changes in the way school
board members are named to
guarantee that they be "inde-
pendent" of the supervisors.
The federation also Endorsed
a statement by its executive
committee urging a strong fire
arm licensing ordinance to pre-
vent the sale of pistols to min
ors, felons or insane persons.
An ordinance now being con-
sidered by the county board
is inadequate" the federation
statement said, because it would
not cover pistols bought outside
the county.
The federation also recon-
mended that the school pro-
gram for mentally retarded
children claSSed as trainable
be continued until an overall
plan for training and educating
them is developed by the county.
Earlier in the evening the
delegates heard County Execu-
tive Carlton Massey and two

the steps being taken to pro-
tect citizens in case of nuclear
attack.

rector of civil defense public
information, urged the fedora
ton to inform people that fall
