Who said he shot four youths on a subway train More than a year ago when he believed they were about to Rob him. The four counts of attempt cd Marder and four counts of assault were dropped by judge Stephen Crane because of a prejudicial error in instructing the second grand jury that indicted Goelz about the defense of justification or self defense according to court papers released by Man Hatlan District attorney Robert Morg Chuu. Crane also said the charges should be dropped due to possible perjury on the part of two of Roctz s victims. Goelz was gratified and satisfied by the development said Mark Baker one of his lawyers.

Crane severed the original weapons charges brought by the first grand jury on Jan. 25, 19hs, from the More serious charges contained in a second indictment returned March 27. Crane specifically faulted the grand jury testimony of the shooting victims James Ramseur and Troy Candy. If Trtat testimony. Was perjured As it strongly appears to have been the integrity of the grand jury was severely undermined to say the least the judge wrote. Crane did nol specify what the nature of the testimony was or Why he thought it might have been perjured.

Everybody at the elation was involved it made us All feel Good said sol. De Honeywell. Juan Antonio Alvila of Ponce puerto Rico arrived monday morning at the sheriffs station in Temple City 12 Miles Northeast of downtown los Angeles. Alvila told deputies that he had sold his family s burial plot and spent his life savings to get to los Angeles where Fie had hoped Hal his Niece could give him a Home said  a family situation forced the Niece to turn him away Honeywell said adding that he Coald release no additional details about the family. He had been Here once before. He wanted w live with her and she was unable to Lake care of him then site helped him Sci Back to puerto Rico that Lime he said. A Vela stooped and using a Cane was pathetic to ode at bul very Lucid and quite a Perton Honeywell said. 1ii bet he s had quite a  deputies talked with Alvila took him out for walks and fed him Over and Over when he came Here he ate everything we put in front of my. They deputies bought him food. Thai Man devoured a lot of food he said. A Vela also needed a place to stay and when ail else failed he was shown to a cell. We Don t have any Beds anywhere else. He was t locked in. He had a bed toilet and sink. We Pat his Luggage in there. We gave him magazines. He was having a Good time realty the sergeant said.

An Fri agent looked in on a Vela during a Layover in Miami and another agent greeted a Vela when he landed in puerto Rico Honeywell said. Because so much of the personnel account in entitle ments which the department must pay to everyone on the Rolls who is eligible. He said he did nol nun cd  How the depart ment s civilian employees would fare under the cuts be cause the funds involved arc in the operation and maintenance accounts of the office of personnel management. But he said the philosophy would be to treat everyone humanely avoiding reductions in Force if possible per haps by a hiring freeze or other method. Lie said funds for defense personnel arc buried in the pm accounts and that since the percentage cuts Are applied at the account level it May be possible to protect Small  the Law is being challenged in the courts and Cox a former Pentagon chief counsel said Hal if it were Over turned it would be up la the president to decide whether to continue la spend at the lower Levels. Cox said that while president Reagan supported the Law this year he did nol think Cagan would Back it if the culs were triggered again next year. He said if the cuts Are triggered again next year a military pay raise might be in jeopardy. Then it would be a Mailer of balancing. Is in better to keep the Force up and reduce the quality1 he asked. The Law does not permit reducing the pay of Federal employees including the military. Out raises would be vulnerable. Cox said he would nol speculate on other effects of Gramm Rud nmn in 1987 because the administration will offer a budget under the �144 billion deficit ceiling the Law permits meaning the cuts would not be Trig gered.
