Injunction sought in Manchester zoning dispute over Barkers
Judge John P. Morrissey ordered a preliminary injunction to keep Manchester from citing Robert and Anita Barker while their case on forest district use proceeds. The Barkers contend their trailer residence qualifies as a permanent dwelling under a pre existing use, opposing neighbors and town officials who argue only temporary seasonal residences are allowed. A full hearing is planned for June.

Bailey Drops Plan to Use Hearst Lie Detector Test
Defense attorney F Lee Bailey abruptly withdrew his bid to introduce a lie detector test Patricia Hearst took while being prepared for trial on bank robbery charges. He said the move could be seen as waiving her Fifth Amendment rights and noted the test was conducted in January by Bailey appointed experts. He indicated he would rest his case on Monday and suggested an appeal if Hearst is convicted due to being forced to answer questions about her underground life.
