Kidnaper Guilty
ATLANTA, Ga (AP> - "I
didn’t gel a fair trial," pro-
tested William A.H Williams
after a federal court jury con
victed him of extortion in the
abduction of Atlanta Con-
stitution Editor Reg Murphy.
Williams, 34. had pleaded
innocent by reason of insanity.
But psychiatrists who testified
at the week-long trial dis-
agreed on the defendant's
mental state at the time of the
abduction last February
Sentencing Set
US District Court Judge
William O'Kelley set Aug 30
for sentencing Williams, 34,
could get a maximum of 50
years in prison
The husky building subcon
tractor stared glumly through
heavy, dark-rimmed glasses
as the jury read the verdict
Sunday after four hours of de-
liberation
Murphy. who was released
after the owners of The Con-
stitution. Cox Enterprises
Inc paid $700,000 to free him
sat with his wife among
spectators in the courtroom
After the verdict he said
"I think that proves the
American jury system works
well it reinforces the earlier
evidence that kidnaping and
political terrorism and ex-
tortion won't work "
Also in the courtroom was
Williams' petite brunette wife.
Betty, who faces charges at a
later date of concealing knowl-
edge of a crime in connection
with the kidnaping
In his closing remarks. de-
fense attorney Tyrus Atkinson
said Williams "is suffering
from a disease of paranoia —
a very serious psychosis."
Testimony Reviewed
He reviewed the testimony
of Dr Edward L Askren III
a psychiatrist who examined
Williams and testified that he
experienced a "psychotic epi-
sode during the abduction of
Murphy on Feb 20
However. Dr William S.
Davis, a psychiatrist and clin-
gal psychologist who testified
for the prosecution, told the
jury that his examination of
Williams showed "a paranoid
personality" — an emotional
disorder, but not a mental dis-
ease that would free Williams
from criminal responsibility
The prosecutor, Asst U.S
Atty Steve Ludwick, said Wil-
hams knew what he was doing
when he lured Murphy from
his home with a story about
wanting help in donating
300,000 gallons of fuel oil
He pointed out Williams'
own testimony that he started
to kidnap Murphy on Feb 19
but changed his plans when
he realized he had forgotten
his pistol

taler Kakuei Tanaka is giving
out tips on etiquette as Japa-
nese tourists fan out around
the globe
With 400,000 of his coun-
trymen expected to go abroad
during the summer vacation
season, Tanaka’s office issued
an article filled with advice he
hopes will reduce the stan-
dard offenses committed by
traveling Japanese
The government article. now
appearing in 12 popular maga-
zines, uses cartoons to advise
travelers that
— "Ladies firsi" is ex
peeled in Western countries
— Slurping soup is repug-
nant almost anywhere outside
Japan
— Old Japanese military
songs are likely to arouse ang-
er in Southeast Asian coun-
tries where the Japanese oc-
cupation during World War II
is still remembered
— Do not discuss religion in
Moslem countries nor politics
where the government is un-
stable
