CHICAGO — A (i8-year-old
plumber came forward Monday as
the man who fatally shot a gun-
wielding youth during a robbery at
tempt, and police said they consid
ered him “a victim” and did not plan
to arrest him.
Harold Brown, who said he had
been robbed before, told reporters
he regretted the incident, but added,
“1 didn’t have any choice.”
“He is not under arrest at this
time,” Detective Michael Shull said.
“He is considered to be the victim of
a robbery.”
Attorney Thomas Royce said that
as Brown was leaving a West Side
grocery store Thursday night “two
people jumped him, one on either
side...
Brown, who was questioned by po
lice for three hours after his surren
der Monday, stood beside Royce at a
brief police-station news conference.
“He is not a vigilante,” Royce said.
“If he had not snot, he wouldn’t be
here right now.”
Royce said Brown had delayed his
surrender because of “a great deal of
concern for safety as well as noto
riety.”
He said Brown had been through
a “very nerve-racking,” experience
and had suffered from lack of sleep
since the shooting.

“Mr. Brown said, ‘I’ll give you
what I have.’ ... They (the youths)
continued to say, ‘Shoot him, shoot
him.’ (One of the youths) pointed a
gun at his head.”
Royce said Brown then reached
into his pocket, pulled out a small
gun “and began snooting.”
Detrick Wallace, 18, was fatally
wounded.
The other youth, whom Brown
said had wielded a knife, was taken
into police custody on Friday. The
youth, K.C. Cathey, 18, was charged
late Monday with attempted rob
bery.
Royce said Brown had feared re
prisal from friends of the shooting
victim and from other members of
the West Side community.
Asked if he considered himself a
vigilante, Brown shook his head and
said, “No,” his voice trailing off.
The basis for the decision not to
charge Brown was that “the shooting
was self-defense,” Terry Levin, a
spokesman for Cook County State’s
Attorney Richard Daley.
The Thursday night shooting has
attracted widespread attention, in
part because it came a few weeks af
ter four youths were shot and
wounded on a Manhattan subway
train after they asked a passenger
for $5. Bernhard Goetz has surren
dered in that case and is charged
with attempted murder.

JACKSON, Miss. — T he cities of
Pascagoula and Gulfport have deliv
ered proposals to the Department of
the Navy, trying to become the home
port of the battleship USS Wisconsin
and its accompanying flotilla.
stretching from Key West, Fla., to
Brownsville.
Pascagoula wants the base, and
Gulfport would like to be home to
two of the reserve frigates. The
Navy has said they might house the
flotilla in separate ports.
The competition for the port is in
creasing in Washington, where the
Navy must choose from 16 cities
Pascagoula is depending on Mis
sissippi’s congressional delegation to
bring the port to the southetist cor
ner of the state, said Mayor Roy
O’Bryant.
“Florida and Texas may have big
ger delegations, but they don’t have
the people in the power positions,”
O’Bryant said.
The Navy says the selection will
not necessarily depend on political
clout, but on which port can offer
the Navy the best deal for the
money.
Attorney who won abortion
case saddened by violence
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Sarah Weddington, the attor
ney who won the Supreme Court case legalizing abor
tion 12 years ago, says she is “saddened” by the recent
rash of bombings at abortion clinics.
“I think the bombs are obviously to create fear for a
whole lot of people — women who seek services, per
sonnel who provide services — and that is deeply sad
dening,” she said in an interview.
“I do think they’re having an effect,” Weddington
said. “I don’t think people are changing their conduct
as a result, I just think they’re living with their fears,
and that’s sad to me that they have to do that.”
People who commit such acts of “terrorism” are “out
of step with the majority of people in this country,” she
said.
Weddington was just 26 when she argued the case of
the ' '
“jane Roe” before the high court. The court’s decision,
rendered on Jan. 22, 1973, overturned a Texas law
outlawing abortions except to save the life of the
mother.
The landmark decision will stand without “dra
matic” changes in membership on the Supreme Court,
Weddington said.
A new court could simply overturn the decision, but
would be unlikely to do that, she said.
“It seems to me...that they would, in essence, begin
to allow all kinds of regulations so that abortion would
become legal but not available,” she said
Weddington, who has served in the Texas Legis
lature, as counsel to the U.S. Agriculture Department
and as a presidential assistant, now represents Texas
Gov. Mark White in Washington.
Weddington said she was pleased when President
Reagan and Moral Majority leader Jerry Falwell came
out strongly against the violence.

were stacked nearby.
The plane crashed in clear, 20-de
gree weather in a field next to a fur
niture store, about half a mile from a
large apartment and condominium
complex near a shopping mall.
Survivor George Lamson, 42, was
in critical condition with multiple in
juries at St. Mary’s Hospital in Reno,
said spokeswoman Stephanie Kruse.
Lamson’s son was in stable condition
at St. Mary’s with a minor head in

Schmoyer.
In the previous crashes in the past
year, one Electra went into a
Screeching 20-second dive without
warning and broke apart over Penn
sylvania on May 30, 1984, killing
three crew members and a passen
ger, according to the National
Transportation Safety Board. An
other disintegrated and crashed Jan.
9 near Kansas City, Kan., killing
three people.
Lockheed spokesman Ragsdale
said so far, the only similarity be
tween the crashes in Reno, Kansas
City and Pennsylvania “is that the
three are the same type of aircraft.”
“They were all originally built as
passenger transports for airlines, but
in recent years, some of them have
been converted to cargo carriers,”
Ragsdale said. He said the planes
that crashed in Kansas City and
Pennsylvania were cargo planes.
Ragsdale said that when the Elec-
tras first went into passenger service
in 1959, one plane crashed when a
wing came off the aircraft in flight
near Buffalo, Texas, and a similar
accident occurred early in 1960 near
Tell City, Ind. Those crashes killed
more than 160 people.
