A fundamentalist convicted with his wife of manslaughter because they relied on faith healing while their 2 ft -year-old son died of cancer says It may be "God's will" If he goes to prison. William Barnhart, 56, and his wife, Linda, 35, were found guilty Wednesday of involuntary manslaughter and endangering a child's welfare by a Cambria County Court jury that deliberated two hours. "This hasn't waivered my faith a bit," Barnhart said after the verdict ended the five-day trial.

"We did the best we could. It was God's will it turned out this way." Of prison, he said, "If God sends me there, I'm going to go." "Maybe it will, put parents on notice they're responsible for their children regardless of their religious beliefs when it comes to the life and death of their children," said John Barron, the county coroner who called an inquest into the child's death. Defense lawyers immediately asked Judge H. Clifton McWilliams for a new trial. McWilliams set no sentencing date in the case.

The involuntary manslaughter charge carries a maximum prison term of five years and a $10,000 fine. The maximum penalty on the endangering charge is two years In prison and $5,000 in fines. The couple had argued that their Linda and William Barnhart leave court after guilty verdict. Christian sect that disavows medical treatment in favor of faith, prayers and annointment. An autopsy revealed a 5.4-pound tumor in the boy's stomach.

Pathologist Sidney Goldblatt testified the tumor absorbed most of the nourishment the boy ate, and' eventually starved him. Mrs. Barnhart bowed her head into her hands when the verdict was announced, and was escorted out a back door while her husband addressed reporters. Barnhart, a labor foreman at Gallatzin State Park. near his home, testified that he, his family and congregation prayed and fasted after realizing Justin was ill.

religious beliefs prevented them from seeking medical help for their son, Justin, who, died from a stomach tumor on Sept. 10, 1981. But the prosecutor contended the couple had been negligent in not seeking medical care for their son. The boy died of a cancer called Wilms tumor, which has a 90 percent recovery rate if treated early, according to testimony. Justin had a right to be taken care of by his parents to give him the kind of treatment he needed to reach the age of reason" to decide his religious beliefs, said Assistant District Attorney Patrick Kiniry.

A grand jury returned secret indictments against sjx men in a barroom gang rape that sparked a protest march by thousands and a $10 million lawsuit by the 21-year-old victim.

The six were held waiting arraignment in Superior Court today. Two of the men allegedly joined other bar patrons "as cheerleaders," shouting the assailants on.
