NEW YORK (AP) — Samuel Waksal, the
jet-setting scientist who founded ImClone
Systems, pleaded guilty Tuesday in the insid
er-trading scandal that threatens his friend
Martha Stewart and her home-decorating
empire.
Waksal, 55, became the second person to
plead guilty in the federal investigation into
trading of the biotechnology company’s
stock. He did not implicate Stewart in his plea,
and the plea was not part of an agreement to
cooperate with authorities.
He remains free on bail until his sentenc
ing in January. The charges carry up to 65
years in prison and millions of dollars in fines.
But his sentence would probably be far less
under federal guidelines.
Prosecutors warned they may bring more
charges against Waksal.
Waksal was arrested in June on charges of
passing along infonnation that the FDA had'
decided not to review his company’s experi
mental cancer drug, Erbitux — news that sent
the stock plummeting.
Stewart sold nearly 4,000 ImClone shares
on Dec. 27, the day before the FDA
announced its Erbitux decision. She has main
tained she had a standing order to sell the
stock if it dropped below $60.
An assistant to Bacanovic, Douglas
Faneuil, backed Stewart’s account, but later
admitted he withheld information when first
interviewed by investigators.
Faneuil pleaded guilty earlier this month to

Former mayor will not testify in own murder tria
As an equal opportunity erriployer, McKesson Corporation unites the talents and contributions of all to advance
the power of healthcare.
YORK, Pa. (AP) — The
city’s fonner mayor and two
other men declined to testify
Tuesday in their own defense in
a murder trial for the 1969 slay
ing of a young black woman
during race riots.
Instead, the all-white jury
will have to base its decision on
the testimony of more than 80
witnesses. The jurors are expect
ed to get the case before the end
of the day Thursday.
York’s former Mayor Charlie
Robertson, 68, and two others
are charged in the murder of
Lillie Belle Allen, a South
Carolina woman who was visit
ing relatives in York when
blacks and whites erupted into
rioting in July 1969.
Allen was shot to death in a
white neighborhood when a car
carrying her and several family
members stalled at a railroad
crossing. Robertson, who was
then a policeman, is charged
with handing out ammunition to
white gangs and urging them to
exact revenge for the earlier
killing of a white police officer.
While Robertson has admit
ted that he shouted “white
power’’ at the rally before the
slaying, he denied the accusa
tions and has apologized for his
behavior, saying he no longer
harbors racist beliefs.
If convicted, the men could
get up to life in prison.
Robertson told Judge John C.
Uhler that he declined to testify
“under the advice of my attor
neys.’’
The attack on Allen was one
of scores during the violenct
between blacks and whitest
left two people dead, 60 wound
ed and whole city
torched before about 400 sis
troopers and Nation
Guardsmen came to town
tanks and rifles to quell
tumult.
