(UI'D Both men wero visibly shaken: the cx-GI who had stormed the rocky beaches of Normandy and the little governor who had de fied the U.S. government on the school integration issue. His eyes moist, the husky com bat veteran, now in prison stripes, timidly touched the shoulder of Gov. George Wallace. "Thank you governor, please spare my life," he said. Wallace grasped the hand of James W. Cohcrn and quickly turned away, obviously emo tional. "It is a sad and solemn duty the governor must perform," he said later. "I, like many other governors before me, wish this cup would pass from me." Wallace, a former judge, has until shortly after midnight Thursday to decide whether Co hcrn will die in the electric chair for the robbery-slaying of Mamie Belle Walker, 35, a tavern opera tor, in December, 1959. The white itinerant handyman made a final plea for his lifoj at a hearing Tuesduy before Wal lace. Cobern, 39, begged Wallace, hearing his first clemency case, to commute , the death sentence to life imprisonment so ho could "work with Christ." "I understand the evidence points against me. but in my heart I don't know everything that happened that night," ho said. "Give me a chance to prove I'm not the type porson people think I am." Cobern had pleaded innocent at his trial by reason of temporary insanity. Ills altorney, Mortimer y. Ames, loin Wallace that Co bern deserved mercy because of his combat record in World war II. Amos said Cobern was wound ed three times and was awarded three Bronze Stars for bravery. "Ho shed blood for his country and this, I believe, Is reason enough to grant clemency," Amos said.

S. Woodrich Tuesday. An other case charging him with burg lary was set for that date. Caudill was indicted on two sep arate eases of assault to commit rape allegedly involving two differ ent girls, and burglary in each case for alleged entry of the rooms of the girls. However, on trial in one case he was acquitted of the assault charge He was allowed to enter a plea to former jeopardy in the burglary case which was reset for July 17, but the judge stated he would not rule on this plea until just prior to trial. Dsubla Jeopardy Claimed Caudill contended that since he had been acquitted on the one as sault charge, that he would be placed in double jeopardy if tried for the same case on the burglary count. He asked, in the motion filed by his attorney, that the second as sault case be postponed because he docs not believe he could obtain a fair trial from the same jury panel Irom winch jurors were picked for the first case.

"Then Spencer shot and wound ed Hunt and moved him from un der the wheel, drove Hunt's car to a more secluded spot, where his car and belongings were ran sacked, and where Hunt was fa tally shot by Spencer and left in his car, where he was subsequent ly found by officers."

(UPI) For mer Marine Byron De La Beck with was held without bond today for grand jury action on a charge that he was the ambush slayer of Negro leader Medgar Kvers. Municipal Judge James L. Spencer ordered Beckwith held Tuesday after a two-hour hearing at which the slender fertilizer salesman pleaded innocent to the murder charge. "There is no doubt that the evi dence presented in this prelimi nary hearing should be presented to the grand jury," Spencer said. "We do not decide the guilt or innocence at this preliminary hearing ... It is my opinion that the defendant should be bound over without bail." The grand jury is scheduled to meet Monday, and Dist. Atty. William Waller has said he will present the evidence to the panel at that time. If Beckwith is in dicted, Waller said, he would seek the death penalty. "I submit we came very, very close to proving this man guilty beyond a reasonable doubt," Wal ler told Spencer. Defense attorney Hugh Cun ningham argued, however, that the evidence was all circumstan tial and failed to "incriminate this defendant of any wrong doing." The evidence centered around a 30-caliber Enfield rifle found in a vacant lot across from the home of Evers, state field secretary for the National Association tor me Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), who was shot down in his driveway June 12 as ho re turned from a civil rights rauy.

More over, he thought it was "not only bad judgment but stupid" to talk about cutting support forces in Europe even as President Ken nedy toured Europe trying to give the NATO alliance a needed shot in the arm.
