E HOUSTON — Astronauts Joe Engle and
Richard Truly Tuesday began a 30-hour simula
tion of the second space shuttle flight, for the first
time simulating in-flight use of the mechanical
arm that will unload the shuttle payload bay.
I “We have had simulations with the remote
manipulator system (mechanical arm) before, but
this is the first time we’ve done it as part of a flight
plan, JSC spokesman John Lawrence said.
■ Lawrence said the simulation of the second
shuttle flight also includes the first simulated use
of a payload. NASA’s Office of Space and Terrest
rial Applications has put together a package to
demonstrate practical shuttle uses.
During the simulation, the astronauts and
flight controllers try to run through an imaginary
flight plan and a pre-programmed computer tos
ses problems at them so they can practice solving
them.
Lawrence said the second shuttle flight is plan
ned to last five days plus six hours, but he said that
was a “soft” schedule that could be shortened if
conditions required it.
The first shuttle orbital test flight last April,
flown successfully by astronauts John Young and
Robert Crippen, lasted 56 hours.
State may use federal evidence
Judge drops bribery charges
United Press International
NEW ORLEANS — U.S. District Judge
Morey Sear Tuesday released former state offi
cial Aubrey Young from the 15-week-old Bri-
lab trial, dropping all charges of bribery and
conspiracy in a plot to gain state insurance
business.
Sear’s decision came after hearing argu
ments that Young served only as an innocent
go-between in the alleged insurance scheme.
Young sat quietly, smiling behind his hand,
and wiped away tears when Sear commended
his court-appointed attorney Risley Triche.
“As I said earlier, I believe in the system,”
Young said. “1 love our country and it once
again proved our system is the greatest in the
world.”
Sear let stand all 12 counts of fraud, conspir
acy and racketeering against reputed Mafia
boss Carlos Marcello and Washington lobbyist
I. Irving Davidson.
He also threw out wire fraud counts against
former state Commissioner of Administration
Charles Roemer and New Orleans attorney
Vincent Marinello, but let stand their charges
of conspiracy, racketeering and mail fraud.
In releasing Young, Sear cautioned that the
evidence found insufficient in federal court
still could be used against the longtime aide in
state proceedings.
“The evidence shows that Young had a role
in the alleged conspiracy to bribe Roemer. His
actions may constitute a state offense,” Sear
said.
The judge asked Triche to stand before the
court and commended him for the manner in
which he defended Young, a longtime friend.
“You have accepted the appointment of this
court at great personal sacrifice,” Sear said.
“Your representation of your client has been
superior. Your conduct during this trial has
been exemplary. You make me proud, Mr.
Triche, to be a lawyer.”
All five were charged as the result of a 14-
month undercover FBI investigation.

Jury finds
officer
guilty
United Press International
SAN ANTONIO — A San Anto
nio policeman, whose trial on nar
cotics charges has divided the de
partment and left officer testifying
against officer, has been found
guilty and could be sentenced to
prison.
The four-man, eight-woman
jury took just two hours in deliber
ations to convict Walter L. Weil-
bacher of soliciting marijuana, de
spite his claim that he was seduced
by a female informant.
Weilbacher, 34, is the first of
six officers to stand trial on charges
stemming from an undercover in
vestigation within the depart
ment.
Six officers, who testified for
the defense, broke the understood
code among police officers by
speaking against the department
during Weilbacher’s trial.
The officers claimed an under
cover narcotics agent, Charles
Jakeman, who was responsible for
the arrests of six officers and a de
partment employee on drug-
related charges, was not reliable
or trusted within the department.
Weilbacher, who did not testify
in his own defense, had alleged
through affidavits that Jakeman
used an informant identified only
as “Marsha,” to solicit rriafijuarid'
from Weilbacher. The convicted
officer said “Marsha” had a sexual
relationship with him and con
vinced him to supply the mari
juana.
Light failure
continues
in hospital
United Press International
FORT WORTH — The staff ■
and patients of John Peter Smith
Hospital are in their fourth day
without full electrical power and
officals say they may have to swel
ter through a fifth one before pow
er can be restored.
As power surged to one unit of
the hospital Monday, other units
would go down, said spokes
woman Jane Woolf.
“Things come on and then go
off, she said. “We seem to be tak
ing a couple of steps forward and
one back. We re not as optimistic
as we were.”
The hospital’s air conditioning
system was still inoperative,
although 60 percent of the 11-
story building was restored to nor
mal power levels Monday. Woolf
said it would be at least late
Wednesday before full power was
restored and relief brought to doc
tors and patients enduring tem
peratures in the 90s.
The electric generators were
shorted out Friday when the hos
pital’s basement power plant was
inundated by runoff water from a
broken construction dam nearby.
The process to restore full pow
er was slow because each of the
250 to 300 breakers in the gener
ator had to be tested one at a time.
Woolf said the hospital would
continue to arrange for catered
food for both patients and staff,
since even though power had
been restored in the kitchen
areas, the lack of air conditioning
made working there impossible.
The hospital’s emergency room
and X-ray facilities still were
hooked up to emergency power
and could not reopen. All but two
of the facility’s 37 outpatient cli
nics also were closed; the che
motherapy and obstetrics clinics
remained open.
Power had been restored to the
hospital’s labs, but fluctuations
made it necessary to keep frozen
plasma stored elsewhere,
although the supply of refriger
ated blood had been returned.
All surgery was postponed, and
the hospital was declining to
accept new patients. Some 198 pa
tients remained hospitalized; five
babies were delivered during the
weekend.
