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.

He said that he didn't know why
Rich had chosen to conceal the
fact that he had lost six stacks

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

Desegregized Railways
Obey Kennedy's Order
WASHINGTON (AP) - Atty
Gen. Robert F. 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.
There was no comment from
Southern.

There is nothing to do in this

I do have a modest suggestion

Dear Ann Landers: My wife's
mother died recently after a long
illness. The doctor bills and hos

fortune. Now the funeral bills are
coming in and we are worried

When my mother-in-aw became
ill we asked the other two daugh

pitch in and help. You never heitrd
such hard-luck stories. Her only
son said he was sorry but he still
owed money on his swimming
pool. The daughters said they

husbands for "that kind of mon

You kids need a hall where you
can meet and do things. If any

it's cheaper than delinquency.
There are dozens of activities that
are plenty of fun tennis, bowling,
dancing, dramatic classes the
list is endless. If you can't get
your parents interested, then form
a committee and tackle it your
selves. I'm sure you can get
help and guidance from some
clergymen and high school teach
