Julian Bond told an audience at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro Sunday afternoon. "Because (King) did live when he did, we live_in a world a little better than we might have, a world a little less filled with fear and hate," said Bond, 44, gazing over the top of his black-rimmed reading My glasses. "But if he were alive today, he would look ' at this world with some considerable alarm. The movement he led on yesterday appears now to be in some disarray.

They had come to hear a motion by attorney Gordon Jenkins to have Darryl Eugene Hunt, 20, who is charged with the _first-degree^ murder of newspaper copy editor Deborah Sykes, released into the custody of Alderman Larry Little. But after three and one-half hours of waiting, they were asked to wait a little longer. Resident Superior Court Judge Judson DeRamus did not make a decision in court on the motion for pre-trial release. Instead, he said he would consider the motion. His decision is expected before the end of the week. Jenkins and Mark Rabil, Hunt's attorneys, filed a motion on April 12 to have ( Hunt, wfea has been in jail more than 200 days sfnce ma aiiwai in J^i^iuuti ( released to Little, who has m I served as the unofficial chairman of the Darryl m Hunt Defense Committee. I Several factors should be considered in determining if Hunt should be released, Jenkins told the judge: the weight of the evidence, the nature and circumstances of SHk. ^ the offense charged, family ties, employment, financial ?P M resources, character and WjT m mental condition. Dr. Sam i T. Manoogian, a psychol ogist, said he has concluded _ ( after interviews with Hunt that Hunt is "not pyschotic nor is he suffering any thought disturbances or any impairment of reality testing." Hunt, Manoogian added, also is not dangerous to himself or others.
