Hinckley seeks unescorted home visit WASHINGTON (AP) John W. Hinckley who shot President Reagan and three others in 1931, is seeking permission from a federal court to leave a mental hospital for an unescorted Easter visit with his parents, the Secret Service said Friday. If granted, the April 19 visit would be Hinckley's first without a hospital escort since he was placed in a maximum security ward at St.

Elizabeths mental hospital in June 1932. A hearing on the request is scheduled April 13 in U.S. District Court, said Richard Adams, a spokesman for the Secret Service. U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova said he has received notification from the hospital that "Mr.

Hinckley is going to seek some sort of release for a holiday." DiGenova said he would meet with representatives of the Secret Service and the White House next week to discuss the request. The Secret Service, angered by Hinckley's 12-hour escorted visit with his parents on Dec. 28, will fight to prevent the presidential assailant from leaving the grounds again, Adams said. Births "We are all here together because we hurt. We are all asking the same questions," said student body president Nancy Horton.

During the 45-minute ceremony, students sang three hymns and listened to remarks from several clergymen. Gov. Bill Allain attended the service but didn't speak.
