Mafia boss wants briber
trial moved to Louisian
lea
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — Carlos “Lit
tle Man” Marcello, reputed over-
lord of organized crime on the
Gulf Coast and accused of trying to
bribe a federal judge, will attempt
to have his trial moved to
Louisiana.
The portly 5-foot-2, white-
haired Marcello is one of three
men indicted in Los Angeles for
attempting to buy favorable treat
ment from a judge presiding over
the 1980 trial of five underworld
figures.
Marcello, 71, and Philip Rizzu-
to, 42, a New Orleans nightclub
owner, pleaded innocent Monday
to three bribery counts each.
Samuel Sciortino, 62, of Rancho
Mirage, Calif., a reputed under
boss in the Los Angeles Mafia and
convicted racketeer, entered the
same plea to the charges two
weeks ago.
U.S. District Court Judge
Robert Kelleher will hear argu
ments Sept. 21 on the change of
venue request. The estimated
two-week trial was scheduled for
Nov. 24.
Marcello, Rizzuto and Sciortino
were charged in the indictment
with conspiring to offer cash or “a
valuable art object” worth more
than $100,000 to U.S. District
, Court Judge Harry Pregerson.
Pregerson was presiding over
the racketeering case of Sciortino
and five other reputed Mafia fi
gures, one of whom died before
the trial. When he learned of the
alleged bribe plot he withdrew
from the case, and another judge,
Terry Hatter, saw the trial to its
conclusion with convictions last

Elderly pair pleads guilk en a
to drug trafficking chan
United Press International
COLUMBUS, Ohio —“Grand
pa” and “Grandma,” an unlikely
drug-dealing team, said they re
sorted to selling marijuana and
LSD from their home because
their $381 monthly Social Security
income was not enough to live on.
Luther Beaver, 74, and his wife
Audrey, 63, known as “Grandma”
and “Grandpa” to their young
drug customers, pleaded guilty
Monday to one count each of drug
trafficking.
Each could receive a term of up
to 10 years in prison and a $5,000
fine at their Nov. 5 sentencing.
Until then, they are free on bond.
Following the pleas, County
Common Pleas Court Judge Clif
ford Rader ordered a presentence
report that will include testimony
from the couple’s doctor that
could figure in their sentences.
“Their doctor’s position is that
they should not be incarcerated
because of their health,” said
George Ellis, senior assistant pro
secuting attorney for Franklin
County. “I’m making no recom
mendation. That will be up to the
judge.”
Ellis said the couple “looked
like they were under a doctor’s
care or at least should be.
“I’m not saying that they
shouldn’t go to jail. There
quite a few drugs on then
