15. Adult Store Wins Lawsuit, To Get Permit The city has been ordered to issue an occupancy permit to the A. D. Book Exchange Inc. so it can sell its "adult novelty books, movies and marital aids" from its store at 962 Liberty Downtown.

In a two-sentence order signed last Thursday and filed by his staff yesterday afternoon, Common Pleas Judge Joseph A. DelSole reversed an April 10 decision by the city zoning board, which had refused to issue the permit. James Brown, the city's zoning ad ministrator, argued before the board last February 7 that the shop, with its five coin-operated movie projectors running 13 hours a day, sevei days a week, would actually be an amusement arcade. As such, it would have to obtain a special exception from the board, which then would have to decide if the store would be a detriment to the community. The owner of the store, Donald F.

Branca of Washington, D.C., denied he was going to operate an arcade. When he sued the city last April 9 because the zoning board had delayed its decision about the permit, the agency retaliated the next day by denying his request. The company, based in Gaithersburg, already has signed a one-year, $300-a-month lease for the property with Anthony J. Martorella of Bellevue. By JANE-ELLEN ROSENBERGER Two McKees Rocks teen-agers have been ordered held for court for five crimes allegedly committed during a three-month spree last year that ended with the beating death of a Sewickley man.

Joseph A. Turner, 19, of 27-G Lillian Drive and Ronald Bunkley, 17, of 2-F Howard Drive were ordered held for court yesterday on charges of theft, robbery and assault stemming from five separate incidents. The two also were ordered held for court Tuesday in connection with the beating and kicking death of Walter J. Bestennai, 79, of (04 Centennial Sewickley, last Nov. 5.

A total of nine hearings were held yesterday before specially-appointed Magistrate Douglas Reed. Both Bunkley and Turner were charged in the robbery and assult of Mrs. Bonnie Spangler last Oct. 15 and the abduction-robbery of another Sewickley man last Nov. 16.

Upon questioning from Assistant District Attorney Kim Riestef, Mrs. Bonnie Spangler of Library testified that four men attacked her in the parking garage of the Linden Place Apartments, 201 Grant Sewickley, She said one of the men made her lie down on the floor and tied her hands behind her back with her raincoat. While one of the assailants sat on her, the others ransacked her purse for the car keys. After finding them, the witness said they drove away in her car. Also stolen were her credit cards, a watch, two rings and her wallet.

Another witness, who testified that he was one of the four men who assaulted Mrs. Spangler, said that both Bunkley and Turner were with him on the night of the crime. Girard West, 17, of the Hill District was granted immunity for his testimony before the county grand jury, which investigated the pair and all subsequent hearings. Both Bunkley and Turner face charges of robbery, criminal conspiracy, and two counts of theft in the Spangler incident. Bunkley is also charged with indecent assault.

Mrs. Spangler testified that while she was on the ground, one of the men placed his hand under her dress on her thigh two or three times. West, however, claimed that he only saw Bunkley place his hand behind her left knee once. The second incident allegedly involving both men was. the abduction of Herman Quairiere of Coraopolis as he was getting into his truck on Nov.

The men also robbed him of $790., A friend of Bunkley testified that a few weeks after the incident, Bunkley told him that "he had a lot of money from kidnapping a poodle." The witness said Bunkley showed him about $350. Bunley and Turner were ordered held for court on one charge of receiving stolen property.
