Killer sought job in morgue United Press International ATLANTA — Wayne Wil liams, convicted in the slayings of two young Atlanta blacks and linked to 23 others killings, ap plied for the job of Fulton Coun ty Morgue medical photo grapher after the killings began, authorities say. Medical examiner Robert Stivers said the medical photo grapher for his office would have had access to the bodies of victims brought to the morgue and to their case files. But Stivers added: “Williams wouldn’t have necessarily known all that. It’s just the potential.” Stivers said that four young blacks, two of them linked to Williams, had been slain when Williams applied for the job in late 1979. He said Williams’ ap plication was one of five, but personnel officials received no response when they telephoned Williams’ number several times to set up an appointment. The application was set aside. The medical photographer is responsible for taking pictures at crime scenes and during auto psies. He also maintains the morgue darkroom and prints photographs for court presenta tion. But Williams’ conviction has not ended concern in Atlanta about the killings. The Rev. Joseph Lowery, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Confer ence, said he was satisfied that officials reconsidered their deci sion to dismantle Atlanta’s task force on missing and murdered young blacks. Lowery took his concerns to a meeting Tuesday with Mayor Andrew Young and Public Safe ty Commissioner Lee P. Brown.

Witnesses said the train ram- Imed the compact car in which Theresa Castillo, 21, and her (two small children were riding (Wednesday, tossing it 93 feet and throwing 3-year-old Tina Castillo in front of the 33car Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Co. freight train. The girl was found beneath a I tank car midway through the [train, Kent County Sheriffs De puty Charles Brown said. The mother was found in the car and both were listed in critical condi- | tion with head injuries. Hie other child, James Jr., 2, [sustained cuts and bruises and was listed in good condition. “The miracle is that some 16 railroad cars and two engines ran over the top of her (the girl) and as far as we know, never touched her,” Brown said. “The son was thrown some 20 feet out of the vehicle after the car | landed.” Officials had no indication why the car was on the tracks when the train came. “We have one eyewitness who said the driver’s door opened up and the driver tried to get out of the door just before impact,” Brown said. “Tina was thrown out of car 80 feet and landed in between the tracks on the ties. “The car landed some 93 feet down the tracks. We have no in dication the vehicle ever touched the ground from where it was hit and where it landed.” Witnesses said the train was sounding its whistle, and warn ing lights at the crossing were working at the time of the acci dent.
