Petition Completed, Presented To Dickson mm St i esmies in Jainaiai ar W ltness For Defense o po HILLSBOROUGH (AP) The state scored a ey victory in the Frank Rinaldi murder trial Friday when Judge George M. Fountain ruled that the jury be allowed to consider statements police said the defendant made the night of his arrest. Rinaldi, 36, a one-time grad uate student and former Univ ersity of North Carolina in structor, is being tried a second time on a a charge of first degree murder in the death of his wife on Christmas Eve, 1963. He was convicted last Nov ember, but the State Supreme Court granted him a new trial because of errors in the first trial. The jury of eight men and four women was sent from the courtroom Friday while Judge Fountain heard testimony con cerning statements allegedly made by Rinaldi on the night of his arrest. The same day his wife was killed. Following his ruling, Foun tain returned the jury to the courtroom. The jury was out more than three hours. Mrs. Rinaldi, 34, was found slain in her husband's Chapel Hill apartment with a scarf knotted about her head. She had been beaten severely about the face and head. The state contends a $20,000 double indemnity insurance policy motivated her death. Police's Statement Chapel Hill Police Sgt. James Farrell testified Rinal di asked him at the police department, "How can you sit with anyone who has done what I have done?" Detective Sgt. Howard Pen dergrath said Rinaldi told him, "I assume you are looking for a motive. I guess money and women would be the biggest." Solicitor Thomas D. Cooper Jr. said no effort was made at Rinaldi's first trial to get these statements before the jury. A state Bureau of Investiga tion agent, F. G. Satterfield Jr., testified Thursday while the jury was absent that Ri naldi told him the night of his arrest the police might think he killed his wife for three reasons: 1. Financial difficulties; 2. Money; and 3. Another wom an. In ruling the testimony ad missible, Judge Fountain said the statements were made "voluntarily without any threat." He added that Ri naldi's constitutional rights had not been violated. Defense attorney Barry Win ston testified that he had been assured by Pendergrath and another SBI agent, Haywood Starling, that Rinaldi would be sent to a hospital for a sedative and would be allow ed to go to bed without being questioned further the night of the slaying. No Recall Starling told the judge, "I do not recall any such conver sation." Then Starling added to Winston, "What you are saying has no truth whatso ever." Starling told the court he had advised Rinaldi at the po lice station that anything he might say could be held against him. Police testified that Rinaldi was taken to a hospital where he was given two envelopes containing pills for his emotional condition. Trial. The officers said they did not know whether he took the pills. Pendergrath, Starling, Far rell and another officer, Lt. Charlie Edmonds, testified in their opinion Rinaldi was not under the influence of any drug when he went to bed the night of his arrest. Rinaldi and his wife, a bride of only five months when she died, grew up in Waterbury, Conn., where they were child hood sweethearts. She was about 17 weeks pregnant when she was killed. The courtroom was less than half filled for Friday's sessions. Prospective Jurors Admit Belief In Negro Inferiority HAYNEV1LLE, All. (AP) Prospective white jurors chos en for the civil rights murder trial of a Ku Klux Klansman admitted in most instances yesterday that they believe Negroes are inferior. They said, too, in answer to lengthy questioning by a state's attorney that they have a low opinion of white civil rights workers who live and work with Negroes. But despite their belief in white supremacy, they said they felt they could consci entiously impose the death penalty on a white defendant charged with killing a white civil rights worker. The members of the jury panel were questioned indi vidually at the outset of Klans man Collie Leroy Wilkins, Jr.'s second trial for the slay ing of a Detroit housewife and civil rights worker, Mrs. Viola Liuzzo. Atty. Gen. Richmond Flow ers, who removed the regular prosecutor and took charge of the case himself with an an gry denunciation of the Klan, chose the seldom-used proce dure of questioning the pros pective jurors individually as a means of geti'ng as much information as he could about their background and beliefs. A member of Flowers' staff, Assistant Atty. Gen. Joe Breck Gantt, did most of the questioning. One juror, J. F. Callison, a farmer from nearby Calhern, shot back "Where are you from?" when the Assistant At torney General asked him if he believed white persons are superior to Negroes. "I'm from Alabama, from south Alabama," replied Gantt, the former prosecuting attorney at Andalusia. "How would you answer that question?" Callison want ed to know. "I can't answer it any more than you can." However, he agreed later that he believes the white race is superior.

The demon stration of the two and one half ton projector . will run through Nov. 22. "Because we have so many questions about our star ma chine we have devised 'The Earth in the Universe' to show to the public just what the projector can do," said Donald S.

Coe was clean - shaven. He wore a neat green sweater and clean dress pants. H i s shoes were polished and laced. "I came out here as an in dividual," he said. "I'm not a member of the SPU. I've never been to one of their meetings. He is a Quaker from Swarth more, Perm., and is a gradu ate student in city and region al planning. "I've been ridiculed all day, but when you make a decision for something you believe in you have to stand up for it." Coe's father was in the Navy submarine division in World War II. He was killed in the war. He believes that militarism is causing the nation to loose sight of the human aspect.

He said, "I live in a free country. I know my rights, and I'm standing for them. Many argued that if Ameri cans had not fought before and now to have a free so ciety, he wouldn't be able to demonstrate. "You are abusing your free dom by doing this," they said.

By DAVID ROTHMAN DTH Staff Writer i Soup, soap and shooting were the topics of Y-Court soap-boxers as SPU members and campus conservatives verbally refought the Asian war yesterday. A supersonic "Tiger" jet brought in with a Navy in formation team had sparked the activity. Advocates of President Johnson's Viet Nam policy dominated the scene, putting the peace group on the de fensive. More than 500 persons watched conservatives wave signs like: "End the War in Viet Nam Kill the V.C." "Get Out of the South (in Viet Nam) Go North." But the peace demonstrators had their own posters, includ ing: "Missiles Classify Power First, People Second. Why Are the People Being Forgot ten in Viet Nam?" That was the sign of Henry Coe, a graduate student in city and regional planning, who, although not an SPU member, is opposed to the Asian fighting because of his religious beliefs. "Power Breeds Power," the sign's other side read. The sailors who came to show off the "Tiger" jet mere ly grinned and suggested the peace picketers be drafted. The servicemen's command er said the demonstrators drew above-average crowds to his exhibit of U. S. military equipment, but he explained he was not authorized to re cruit students on campus. 'The Navy should send those 'peaceniks' over there," a burly sailor suggested. Chip Sharpe, last year's SPU president, asked a heck ler, "Do you want to kill your enemy?" "Well," the heckler shot back, "that's one way of do ing things." Later, somebody sneaked up behind Sharpe and secretly pasted a "Go Navy" sticker onto the seat of his pants. SPU member Katherine Stuart, New Orleans senior, said a Navy slogan had been attached to her note book. Generally, however, there was little trouble, though Miss Stuart commented: "(The stay-in-Viet Nam people) were not hostile, except when they heckled us." Bryden Manning, SPU treas urer, said she had been giv en a bar of soap but it was only the second she'd been handed since the "soupfast."
