The court affirmed th* manslaugh-

W. A. "Bill" Kvana. Weatherford, fee
slaying Alfred McAllister, air corps
soldier stationed at Frederick, m 19*5
In its opinion, the court held the San Juan. Puerto Rico, immediately
jury would have been justified in con-
victing Evans of first, instead of sec-
ond. degree manslaughter.
The shooting, the opinion continued,
was not justified because McAllister
was unarmed and was not seriously
endangering Evans.
McAllister was killed, evidence
showed, as he stood at the rear of a
truck on a Weatherford street trying
to get someone to aid his brother-in-
law, Bill Lotnan.
Loman was injured when the car in
which be and McAllister were riding
overturned near Bridgeport. A pass-
ing truck took them to Weatherford.
Evidence showed Evans thought Mc-
Allister’s efforts to get someone to

Testimony shorted Evans borrowed
a pistol from a constable and struck
McAllister severs! times. The soldier
grappled with him and in the struggle
was shot, dying in a few minutes.

The first allied train into Berlin
wax^halted only four minutes to get
Its clearance from the Russians. The
Russian arn^ officers did not even

which it did not.

The whole program went off with
only two hitches, neither considered
very serious a* of now. Th* Russians
insisted that soviet-owned locomotives
pull the trains. This the allies agreed
to, subject to appeal to higher au-
thority. .
Soviet guards refused to allow Ger-
man truck* bound from Berlin to
western Germany to go through their
lines without pennite from the soviet-
