Teen-ager shoe
charged in
murder case

Associatfed Press
CHICAGO — A teen-ager was
charged Tuesday with murdering a
5-year-old girl who was thrown from
a 13th-story window after an appax-
ent sexual assault at a bleak West
Side housing project, police said.
Oris Lee Harris, a neighbor, de
scribed the victim, Shabanna
McCann, as a “beautiful little girl.”
Johnny Freeman, 17, of Chicago,
was charged with murder in the
child’s death, police spokesman John
Thomas said.
McCann was taken or lured to a
vacant apartment on the 13th floor
of a building in the Henry Horner
Homes on the city’s West Side,
Thomas said.
John O’Keefe of the county medi
cal examiner’s office said the fatally
injured child was found on the
ground outside the building by pro
ject residents at about 9 p.m. Mon
day. She died about 10:30 p.m. at
Cook County Hospital, he said.
“There was evidence of sexual as
sault due to the condition of the
clothing,” Thomas said.
O’Keefe said an autopsy was
scheduled later Tuesday.
The McCann family had been
moving Monday into an apartment
on the fifth floor of the building
where McCann’s broken body was
found, Thomas said. Their old
apartment was in another building
in the complex.
Annette Harris, an employee of
the Henry Horner Child Devel
opment Center and a friend of the
victim’s mother, Joann McCann,
said: “Everybody’s in shock. They’re
really upset. I just can’t get it out of
my mind.”
Police spokesman Montgomery
Jackson said the police investigation
focused on Freeman, an area resi
dent, after a witness said she had
seen him with the younger McCann
earlier in the evening.
Freeman was arrested Monday at
the building shortly after the child
was found, Thomas said.
The witness, a relative of the
McCanns whose name was being
withheld, spotted a man with the
youngster on a fifth-floor porch
from her own apartment in a nearby
building, Jackson said.
The witness told police she at
tempted to alert Mrs. McCann be
cause she didn’t know the man and
was concerned, Jackson said. But the
witness said before she could find
Shabanna’s mother, another resi
dent discovered the fatally injured
child.
Skyjacking
Hijackers release paralyzed passenger
Associated Press
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Hijackers
who seized a Jordanian jetliner here-
and forced it on a wandering 13-
hour flight before returning to Bei
rut freed a woman, 65, early
Wednesday and then took off again.
As the Boeing 727 departed at
2:40 a.m. — 4 , /2 hours after it had
landed — one of the gunmen aboard
radioed, “We are going — God
knows where.”
During the first stage of the com
mandeered flight, with more than
70 people aboard including two
Americans, Tunisian officials twice
refused permission for the plane to
land in Tunis. It made several re
fueling stops, but the sky pirates re
jected pleas to free the passengers.
Airport officials said the woman
released here was confined to a
wheelchair because of paralysis.
Beirut’s Moslem “Voice of the Na
tion” radio station said while the
plane was still parked at the airport,
the hijackers wanted to go to Tripoli,
Libya, but no attribution for that re
port was given.
Earlier, in a radio conversation
with the control tower, one hijacker
told government negotiators: “If
you send fuel, food, water and clean
ing material, we will release some of
the weary women and children for
humanitarian reasons.”
Conflicting reports were made
about the number of hijackers. Offi
cials initially reported four, but the
pilot at one point spoke about six
“heavily armed hijackers in the cock
pit.”
One of the hijackers told the Bei
rut control tower before the plane
landed that they would free the pas
sengers and crew when all Palestin
ians leave south Beirut, where their
refugee camps are located.
An anonymous telephone caller
said the hijackers were radical Shiite
Moslems but a later caller, also anon
ymous, denied that.
Tunisian officials closed the Tunis
airport and all other airports in the
country to prevent an unauthorized
landing.
Munib Toukan, a vice president
of Jordan’s state airline Alia, said in
Amman, Jordan, that all of the peo-
K le aboard the plane “are in excel-
:nt condition.”
Among the passengers were two
Americans, Professor Landrey Slade
of the American University of Beirut
and his son William, 16,according to
a university official. A Jordanian air
line official said, however, that Slade
was traveling with his wife, not his
son.
Slade, in his mid-50s, left Beirut
two days after after gunmen kidnap
ped Thomas Sutherland, 54, the
university’s dean of agriculture.
A hijacker who identified himself
as Nazih told the control tower about
20 minutes in advance that the plane
was heading for Beirut.
‘Write Rosty’ appeal getting
nation’s opinion of tax plan
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Rep. Dan
Rostenkowski’s nationally broad
casted appeal for Americans to
“write Rosty” on tax revision has
produced between 10,000 and
15,000 pieces of mail so far, the staff
of the House Ways and Means Com
mittee reported.
The Illinois Democrat’s pitch also
has inspired the production of a
“write Rosty” button that is being
sported by committee aides, lawmak
ers and lobbyists.
It was first produced on a limited
basis by Rostenkowski’s staff as sort
of a gag, but now is one of the hot
test items on Capitol Hill.
Internal Revenue Service Commi-
sisoner Roscoe L. Egger Jr. showed
up at committee hearing sporting a
variation on the same theme. His
button said: “I wrote Rosty.”
Sacks of letters are piling up in the
Ways and Means Committee offices
in the Longworth House Office
Building.
Committee aide Jamie Richardson
said that all the mail hasn’t yet been
opened, and that when the sacks are
all opened and sifted through, the
total could run as high as 30,000
pieces of mail.
“Most of them are in favor of the
f (resident’s tax plan, playing on the
act that something is going to have
to be done on a bipartisan basis,” the
aide said.
Reporters found in contempt of court
for refusing to testify in Belushi case
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — A judge in the
John Belushi murder case found two
reporters in contempt of court and
sentenced them to jail Tuesday for
refusing to testify about an interview
with defendant Cathy Evelyn Smith.
Deputy District Attorney Michael
Montagna said, “The issue of the
murder can never be resolved” with
out the testimony of freelance writer
Chris Van Ness and National En
quirer reporter Anthony Brenna.
Municipal Judge Brian Crahan
sentenced Brenna to 20 days in jail
and a $1,000 fine and ordered Van
Ness to spend 30 days in jail and pay
a $1,000 fine.
Both sentences were stayed pen
ding appeal to a higher court.
The reporters refused to testify
about interviews they conducted
with Cathy Evelyn Smith, a former
rock singer, who is accused of mur
dering Belushi by giving him an
overdose of heroin and cocaine.
The star of the “Saturday Night
Live” television show and such mov
ies as “Animal House” and “The
Blues Brothers,” was found dead in
his bungalow in the Chateau Mar-
mont Hotel on March 5, 1982.
Later that year, the Enquirer ran
a story under the headline: “Holly
wood Drug Queen Confesses — I
Killed John Belushi.”
That was followed in 1983 by
Smith’s grand jury indictment on
second-degree murder charges.
Crahan, saying he was reluctant to
rule on the complicated issue of a re
porter’s privilege not to testify, de
cided that both Van Ness and
Brenna would have been covered
had their interviews been with an
undisclosed source.
However, since both writers re
vealed that their source was Smith
and since the Enquirer published a
lengthy story based on the interview,
the reporters could not refuse to dis
cuss the material under oath, he
said.
U.S.-Soviet study of arthritis shows
aspirin-like drugs to be effective
Associated Press
HOUSTON —A 10-year U.S.-So
viet study of arthritis in children
shows aspirin-like drugs are as effec
tive as more expensive and costly
drugs in treating the illness, re
searchers said Tuesday.
“We are hopeful this joint study
will be appreciated the world over,”
said Dr. Lev S. Alexeev, senior re
searcher at the Children’s Depart
ment of the Soviet Institute of Rheu
matology.
“The studies are particularly sig
nificant because they represent 10
years of successful, productive and
cooperative research between the
United States and the Soviet Union,”
added Earl J. Brewer, Chief of the
Rheumatology Department at Hous
ton’s Texas Children’s Hospital.
“It’s the first time anything of this
sort could be done,” Brewer said. “It
also showed we could work together.
In the 1970s, this was not always eas
ily done.”
The study included 162 children
suffering from juvenile rheumatoid
arthritis — 66 of them in the United
States and 96 from the Soviet Union.
Ludmila A. Issaeva, head profes
sor in the Department of Children’s
Diseases at the First Moscow State
Medical Institute, said the task of the
group was to “try to find the best
drugs, the most compatible drugs,
for treatment.”
The results showed aspirin-like
drugs as effective as the disease
modifying drugs d-penicillamine
and hydroxychloroquine, the physi
cians said.

Brewer said the study was set up
to determine whether the use of the
specialized drugs “was truly effective
or not.”
“Our joint work, dedicated to
helping children, ended quite suc
cessfully,” Issaeva said. “We would
like to believe this work, begun 10
years ago, will have many positive re
sults toward alleviating this disease
in children.”
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis af
flicts as many as 250,000 children in
the United States. It primarily af
fects internal organs or is marked by
inflammation of the joints. Cause of
the disease is unknown.
Issaeva said the study involving
the two countries allowed time to be
shortened and could include more
people, resulting in better and more
significant conclusions.
