judge Verbally Lashes Confessed Killer of Girls San Diego, Calif.-UPD-There are some crimes so revolting that the only proper punish ment is the death penalty. As I sat here and heard tape re cordings in which the defend ant told how he killed these girls, I was shocked. I hope I never have to hear such tes timony again." Superior Judge John A. He- wicker, a veteran of criminal 4riaTa it4AfAl 4knrn - J- Wednesday as he sentenced Harvey M. Glatman to death in the gas chamber. Glatman, 31, of Los Ange-j les, heard the death penalty without showing any outward concern. Remains Calm The jug-eared television re pairman was as calm in the face of death as he was in re lating to police officers how he kidnaped and raped three young Los Angeles area mod els during a one-year period, forced them to pose in the nude while he photographed them and then killed them. He strangled the attractive women with a rope and dumped their bodies in isolat ed desert areas. Only the body of blonde Judy Ann Dull, 19, was acci dentally discovered in a shal low grave near Indio north of here. The body was so badly decayed that police were un- able to identify her and it was not know she had been murdered until Glatmanjs ar rest Oct. 27. Only Bleached Bones He led police to the remains of his two other victims after his arrest. Only bleached bones remained. The victims, Shirley Ann Bridgeford, 24, mother of two children, and Ruth Rita Mer- cado, 24, had been listed by police as missing up until Glatman was caught while he attempted to abduct a fourth victim. Then he told police all and with no apparent re morse. Since his arrest he has insisted that he wants to die in the gas chamber rather than spend life in prison. ile refused to plead inno cent by reason of insanity and a court-appointed psychiatrist i has ruled he is legally sane, although two defense psychia trists have indicated they be lieve him insane. An automatic review of Glatman's case will be made by the State Supreme Court, after which a date for execu tion probably will be set. White Clothing Urged in Fog Oregon state police remind ed motorists today that head lights are required when driving in the fog. They ex plained that with visibility reduced due to the weather, pedestrians who must walk along roadways should wear light or brightly colored cloth ing. Motorists are continuing to cover the top half .of head lights with tape, the police said, and mentioned the cov ering of part of headlights in this fashion is against the law. Cour!
