o PAQKt HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls. Ore. Tuesday October, 1MI Chorus Girl's Fate In Jury's Hands POTTSVILLE. Pa. IAP) A jury today will begin deliBerating the fate of Lillian Reis, a former chorus girl charged with planning a strance burglary which author ities claim netted nearly $500,000 and led to the gangland slayings of two brothers. The panel of five women and seven men will receive the case after final instructions by Judge Charles W. Staudenmeier. The prosecution ended its sum mation Monday. The defense had given its summation last Friday Miss Reis, fourth defendant to be tried after the convictions of three alleeed conspirators last sDrine. is accused of hiring bur glars to crack the safe of John B. Rich. Rich has testified at all the trials that only about $3,000 in cash was taken. He has called police testimony "all lies con cerning the amount The prosecution contends that the shapely brunette used about $25,000 from the Aug. 7, ibw, our clarv at the home of Rich, a! wealthy coal operator, to pur chase the Celebrity Room night club in Philadelphia. Miss Reis once danced in the chorus line of the club. In his nearly fe-hour sum mation. Asst. Dist. Atty. Calvin J. Friedberg told the jury that Miss Reis had "planned It, aided and abetted it and shared in the proceeds." "She is Implicated up to her neck," Friedberg said. Friedberg said that cash gifts which Miss Reis received over a two-year period from Clyde (Bins) Miller, the only remain ing defendant in the case who faces trial next, did not exceed $20,000. - Miller, accused of tipping oft Miss Reis that Rich had a large amount of money in his safe, tes tified for the prosecution that he (Miller) had lavished more than $100,000 In gifts and cash on her for the opportunity to meet ner secretly in hotel rooms twice a week. Defense attorney John E. La velle contended In his summation that Miller had plotted the bur glary, that his testimony was the result of hate "because she threw him over." Lavelle said Miss Reis had got the money to buy the night club from her stepfather, Sidney Reiskin, a New York jeweler, and from cash given her by Miller. ' ' '"Lillian Reis never got as much as $50,000 from Miller," Fried , berg said Monday. "With $200 (In cash) every week over two years it was nearer $20,000. 'And does she iMiss Reis) strike you as a prudent, thrifty, conservative person? Where did the money come from to buy the Celebrity Room? Nothing better indicates her code ol morals than that she was taking all these gilts from Miller and at the same time getting a rake-off on jacked up prices." Recalling Rich's testimony that CapL Clarence J. Ferguson of the Philadelphia police had mentioned to him that "killings" might re sult from the burglary, Friedberg declared: It is just inconceivable that there would be a suggestion of murder arising, from a $3,000 burglary. Friedberg told the jury that Rich employed "almost Machia vellian deviousness" in concealing loss of a large sum of money in the looting of the safe. "A it fits ithE1 tfiZ&a Cpvr. ' a"AV0N' . .

In addition to Berkery, Robert Poulson and Ralph Staino Jr. have been convicted. All three are free on bail pending motions for new trials. Miss Reis and Berkery also have been indicted by -an Atlan tic County, N.J., grand jury on charges of murder in the shoot ing of Vincent Blaney, whose body was found in August, 1060. in the Atlantic Ocean. Police said he was killed to keep him from turning state's evidence. Vincent's brother, Richard, also was killed in gangland fashion by a bomb planted in his car last summer after he had been the star prosecution witness at the trials of Berkery, Poulson and Staino.

Kennedy has an nounced that three major rail roads have ordered racial dese gregation of all tlfcir facilities in the South. But two of the rail roads said later they hadn't been practicing segregation. Kennedy issued the statement after Dr.' Martin Luther King told a news conference that the Jus tice Department had told him of the desegregation orders put out by the railroads the Illinois Cen tral, Southern and the Louisville 4 Nashville. King, Negro integration leader from Atlanta, conferred Monday with both President Kennedy and his brother, the attorney general. King said he had been advised the railroads had "issued orders, to go into effect immediately, that all facilities, all terminals be de segregated immediately." As King was making his an nouncement, Justice Department officials were preparing a state ment detailing the plan. They said the statement wih to have been issued after con firmation that the order had gone into effect in 10 Southern stales- Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina. Atty. Gen. Kennedy said Justice Department officials had held several meetings with the rail road operators to work out the voluntary desegregation program In Chicago, Illinois Central President Wayne Johnston said his line had done nothing but con tinue compliance with a 1956 Inter state Commerce Commission rul ing banning segregation in inter state transportation. Warren A. McNeill, director of public relations for the Louisville & Nashville, said the railroad had maintained no segregation in its stations or passenger cars for the past year and a half.
