Jury considers Gacy-
rational killer or lunatic
United Press International
CHICAGO — John Wayne Gacy
sits rigidly, listening to attorneys
who are trying to paint two different
pictures of his stony visage.
The jury of seven men and five
women see only the double-chinned
profile of the man whose fate they
may decide.
Prosecutors charge this “enigma”
is a calculated, premeditated, ration
al sex killer — responsible for the
slayings of 33 boys and young men —
and should be put to death. Defense
attorneys say Gacy is consumed by a
“raging illness” and should be put in
a mental institution for the rest of his
life.
During the first two weeks of testi
mony in Gacy’s mass murder trial,
attorneys for both sides often have
asked witnesses the same questions
and obtained virtually the same
answers. And each time, the attor
neys both appeared as if they have
won a small victory.
“Did he appear normal?” both
sides would ask witnesses who testi
fied on how Gacy behaved as he con
fessed to killing more than 30
people.
“Yes,” was the standard answer.
Prosecutors charge this indicates
Gacy was rational. Defense attor
neys indicate it reflects only one side
of Gacy — not the “hidden side” that
compelled him to kill.
Prosecutors charge Gacy was
methodical in his killings. They
charge he remembered specific
spellings of names, details of clothing
and locations of gravesites of dozens
of victims found under his house.
And, they say, he used the same
technique on all his victims — a
“handcuff trick” followed by a fatal
“rope trick” — on his victims.
“If a man appears normal and does
certain things in a very methodical
way, does that make him a premedi
tated murderer or is it an indication
that he is obsessed, that he is pro
foundly and deeply ill?” the defense
asked in its opening statements.

NEW YORK — A new ex

nicotine vapor when inhaled is help

publication reports.
The article in Medical World
News also reported that a nicotine-
spiked gum, a prescription item in
Canada, will be available the same
way in England in April. The gum,
“Nicorette,” an over-the-counter
item in Switzerland, is not available
in the United States.
Flavored with spice to mask some
of the nicotine taste, the gum goes
for about the same as a pack of
cigarettes.
Details of the cigarette that never
