IRA bombing Mils 2nd-highest judge, wife
BELFAST, Northern Ireland
Guerrillas of the Irish Republican Army
killed Northern Ireland's second-highest
judge and his wife Saturday in a bomb
blast that turned their car into a
fireball.
Six people, including three Irish
rugby players, were wounded in the
bombing that killed Lord Justice Mau
rice Gibson and his wife as they were
driving along a road about two-thirds of
a mile from the border with the Irish
Republic.
The outlawed IRA said it "executed"
Gibson because he cleared three
Northern Ireland policemen of killing
an unarmed IRA suspect in 1984.
IRA killings have taken 18 lives this
year.

Irwin
The Royal Ulster Constabulary, the
British province's police force, said the
bomb apparently was planted in a car
left by the side of the main road from
Belfast to Dublin, and detonated by
remote control as three cars were
passing.
Gibson's car took the full blast, blaz
ing like a "ball of fire," said Dr. David
Irwin, an injured rugby player.

Photos of actress found
in Hinckley's room
WASHINGTON Twenty photo
graphs of Jodie Foster were found in
the mental hospital room of John W.
Hinckley Jr. the day after a psychiatrist
testified the presidential assailant had
given up his obsession for the actress, a
source says.
The photographs were found April 14
by officials at St. Elizabeths Hospital
who searched Hinckley's dormitory
style room after they were ordered by a
federal judge to produce letters, poems,
notes and other writings that might be
relevant to Hinckley's state of mind.
The photographs were not turned,
over to the judge because his order had
not included pictures, a source famil
iar with the case said Friday, speaking
on condition of anonymity.
The search was ordered by U.S. Dis

American 'spy7 plane
shot down over Angola
PITTSBURGH The American pilot of a light plane reported shot
down over Angola was ferrying the craft to South Africa, a colleague said
Saturday.
The pilot was identified by the colleague as Joe Longo, 33 of Greens
burg, Pa.
ANGOP, the official Angolan news agency, said Friday that jet fighters
downed the Beechcraft Bonanza N72400 in southern Angola on Tuesday,
78 miles north of the border with the South African-controlled territory of
South-West Africa, also known as Namibia.
The Angolan report did not identify the pilot and the State Department
said it could not confirm or deny that Longo was the pilot.
The news agency, monitored in Lisbon, quoted military officials as
saying the pilot, the only person aboard, was in good condition after the
crash.
The agency quoted one unidentified military official as saying, "It is
highly possible the plane was on a spying mission for South Africa. . .to
pinpoint troop positions around Cahama."
Longo reportedly was delivering the plane to National Airways Corp, in
Johannesburg, which is a distributor for Beechcraft.
Brewing Co. was incorporated in
1890-91.
The brewery, and beer drinkers,
suffered a setback with prohibi
tions. Jorgensen said owners con
verted the plant to soft-drink manu
facturing. But most of the building
burned in the early 1930s.
What remained of the original
plant now is part of Campbell Soup
Co., Jorgensen said. Some old brew
ery buildings still are visible at the
site.
Most of the bottles still have lids
and labels. A little brown liquid
remains in some. The case had a
hinged lid, metal snap lock, metal
handles and wood dividers to seap
arate the bottles. The front of the
box also bears the brewery trade
mark. Hinckley had exchanged letters with
triple-murderer Theodore Bundy, who
is on Florida's death row.
Hinckley was committed to St. Eli
zabeths in 1982 after he was found
innocent by reason of insanity in the
March 30, 1981 shooting of President
Reagan, White House press secretary
James Brady, a Secret Service agent
and a city policeman in Washington.
Psychiatrists and prosecutors say
Hinckley shot Reagan in an attempt to
impress Foster, who played a prostitute
in the movie "Taxe Driver," which was
about a presidential assassination plot.
Parker's search order came after he
suspended a hearing on the hospital's
request to grant Hinckley an Easter
weekend pass for an unescorted visit
with is family. The hospital later with
drew the request.

Mexico says no U.S. garbage barge
MEXICO CITY A barge carrying 3,000 tons of garbage from Islip, NX,
turned back toward the United States after Mexico refused to let it anchor
off its coast, the Mexican news media reported Saturday.
Four Mexican naval vessels, a helicopter and two planes were patrol
ling the area off Campeche and Veracruz states to make sure the barge did
not enter Mexican waters or dump its waste, a navy statement said.
The barge headed into the Gulf of Mexico April 18 after North Carolina,
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana refused to give Lowell Harrelson, a
Bay Minette, Ala., contractor, permission to dump garbage.
Sean Penn faces arrest warrant
LOS ANGELES An arrest warrant has been issued for Sean Penn for
allegedly violating probation by punching a film extra during shooting of a
movie in which the tough-guy actor plays a policeman, officials said.
Penn, 26, could receive up to six months in jail if he is found to have
violated a year's probation received in February for a nightclub brawl.
Penn allegedly became enraged April 2 when Jeffrey Klein, 32, an extra
in the movie "Colors," began taking photos of him and co-star Robert
Duvall.
Boy waits
for fourth
liver transplant
PITTSBURGH Seven-year-old
Ronnie DeSillers' condition rapidly
deteriorated Saturday. He was placed
on the waiting list for a fourth liver
transplant, while his mother pleaded
with him, "You can't give up now."
He was added to the waiting list
because his third transplanted liver
failed to begin functioning, said Brian
Broznick, director of the Pittsburgh
Transplant Foundation.
Ronnie's condition began worsening
Friday, a day after he underwent his
third liver transplant at Children's
Hospital.
"Doctors are still hopeful that the
function of the new organ may improv e,"
said hospital spokeswoman Lynn Mc
Mahon. "As long as it's not functioning,
that means he is worsening. There are a
lot of bodily function not being per
formed." Ronnie's mother, Maria DeSillers,
31, said doctors told her Saturday
morning that her son might have to
undergo a fourth transplant.
"They said he's going to have to fight
with everything he's got," DeSillers
said.
Thursday, Ronnie received the liver
of a chold who died of complications
from Down's syndrome. Ronnie emerged
from the 10 12-hour operation looking
healthier than he did after the second
transplant three weeks earlier.
But Friday, tests showed that the
liver was not functioning.
"Doctors would not proceed with
another transplant unless they feel that
Ronnie was strong enough to endure
the surgery and could benefit by the
procedure," McMahon said. "This boy
is amazingly resilient."
Ronnie was the 15th patient at
Children's Hospital to undergo three
liver transplants. The hospital's sur
geons have transplanted four livers
into only one patient, an 11-year-old
New York boy who is now back home.
