i 10 Stevens Point (Wis.) Journal Tuesday, August 13, 1985 Plea hearing scheduled in killing of Beloit boy i fJ Wli I as the reaction of a "pretty brave little girl." Hempe's request for a jury trial means one must be held within 30 days under the juvenile code. Van De Bogart said Hempe would be notified about a trial date soon. Hempe said he requested a jury trial because it "would represent more of a community consensus" as opposed to leaving his client's guilt or innocence to a judge. "We want everyday people to tell us whether they believe she did it" after hearing the facts, Hempe said. Van De Bogart released the girl to parental custody again, despite arguments by Terri Riemer, a Rock County juvenile probation officer.

She said the girl has received "verbal threats" and advised that she be put in the Rock County Youth Home. Hempe has repeatedly predicted the girl would be found innocent. He said the stick-jabbing incident was nothing more than a "child scuffle." The only portion of the petition linking her to the crime were statements by the 14-year-old boy, "and we're advised his story has changed three or four times," Hempe said. Tv "CJ. 4 I der age 12 who are accused of serious crimes.

State law forbids charging youngsters younger than 12 with delinquency, and the case has fueled a new round of argument that the Legislature should revise Wisconsin's juvenile code. Critics also object to a provision that virtually assures a juvenile delinquent of release from all custody when he turns 19, regardless of the seriousness of his crime. A CHIPS petition allows a court to place the girl in a treatment center or foster or group home if the judge determines she needs protection or services. The girl, who was in court Monday with her mother, has shown little emotion in her court appearances. She was described last week by deputy sheriff Douglas Witt as emotionally "very cold" during questioning.

Hempe said in an interview after the hearing that "she's a pretty normal 11-year-old who has emotions." "She's cried, cried in my presence because she knows her friend, the murdered boy is gone, and because she's scared about being accused of it," he said. The stick-jabbing incident occurred "four or five hours" before the slaying, he said. "She was at home in bed when this happened, and that can be corroborated," Hempe said without elaborating. Hempe termed her calmness in court BELOIT, Wis. (AP) Two boys accused of slaying 9-year-old Anthony Darnell Wilson faced another court hearing today while a lawyer for an 11-year-old girl challenged investigators' arguments that she was involved in the incident.

Attorney A. Henry Hempe says the "brave little girl," who police say jabbed the victim with a sharp stick when he refused to share his bicycle with her, had gone home to bed before the July 26 slaying in the suburban Town of Beloit. Hempe made his remarks Monday during a hearing on efforts by Rock County authorities to place the girl in a group home or foster home. A 3 p.m. hearing was scheduled to day for the two boys, aged 12 and 14, to enter pleas concerning delinquency petitions that say they "intentionally and unlawfully caused the death of another person." The Wilson boy's body was found July 27 near his grandmother's home.

Authorities say he was beaten and stabbed, but that the bruises caused by the stick-jabbing were not among the fatal wounds. Two knives were found nearby, one of them a butcher knife. The 14-year-old boy has been detained in Rock County Jail in Janes-ville. The 12-year-old boy was transferred Thursday from the jail to the Rock County Youth Home following a hearing before Judge Patrick Rude. Most details of the youngsters' involvement are contained in the petitions, which District Attorney James P.

Daley and Rude refused last week to open to the public. Hempe. told Monday's hearing his client has wept over the loss of her playmate. He entered an innocent plea on her behalf, saying he would like' a trial by jury to clear up suspicions that she helped murder the Wilson child. "We categorically deny the allegations and that this little girl is in need of protective services," Hempe told Court Commissioner James Van De Bogart.

A petition for a "child in need of protection and services," known as a CHIPS, was filed against the girl a week ago after a judge returned her to her mother's custody.

The 200-page report, which makes up the entire July 1985 issue of the New York State Journal of Medicine, is a compilation of scientific research and reporting that attempts to underscore the success of the cigarette industry in resisting anti-smoking efforts.

Among the industry's tactics, according to articles by about 75 contributors, are sponsoring sporting events and art exhibitions, directing advertising specifically at women and blacks, and funding scientific re; search. The journal, published Monday, includes an editorial by its editor, Dr. Alan Blum, suggesting that anti-smoking efforts might have been more successful "if smoking killed baby seals."

(AP) Kenosha portrait artist George Pollard has been chosen to paint the official portrait of former Gov. Patrick J.

Lucey, the executive committee of the State Arts Board says. Pollard, who has painted presidents Harry Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy from life, has already taken photographs of Lucey, and is to submit two to four charcoal sketches of the former governor and U.S. ambassador to Mexico before starting the canvas, the committee was told Monday.

Under his contract, Pollard will create a portrait up to 40 by 60 inches by June, 1986.

"Perhaps the entire anti-smoking campaign should be turned over to Greenpeace," the environmental organization, he wrote. "Who knows what other species might be saved?" Alan Byrn, assistant to the president of the Tobacco Institute, which represents cigarette manufacturers, said the companies limit themselves to advertising aimed at people who already smoke.

"Certainly the sponsorship of sporting events and cultural exchanges is part of that," Byrn said Monday. "I enjoy attending the Kool Jazz Festival or seeing the Vatican exhibition, and it has nothing to do with smoking a cigarette." The jazz festival was sponsored by Kool cigarettes, and a 1983 Vatican art exhibition was sponsored by Philip Morris.

An interest of one percent per month, however, will be assessed on amounts due. Waiver of civil penalties and late filing fees for persons who, during the amnesty, have a tax liability that was not delinquent on May 15, but was established between May 15 and the start of amnesty, Sept. 15. Anyone who is subject to criminal action is not eligible. But delinquents with appeals can apply for amnesty by withdrawing their appeals, Ley said.

In addition to getting people back on the tax rolls, Ley said the state wants to give them an incentive to wipe their slate clean. Although some delinquents have no money and a "total inability to pay," Ley said, some have tax liabilities of $50,000 to $100,000. The secretary said four percent of the population "are either delinquent or non-filers." He said there was a "big build-up of delinquencies" during the recession period between 1980 and 1983.

(AP) Wisconsin's drive to collect back taxes from delinquents under a tax amnesty plan is to begin Sept. 15 and run for 10 weeks, aimed at getting reluctant taxpayers, to pay up without fear of penalty.

State officials says they hope that by the time the amnesty period expires Nov. 22, at least $10 million of more than $190 million owed will have been collected. To obtain amnesty, all a delinquent has to do is "come forward, file all returns, pay all taxes due, less any anm-nesty discounts," state Revenue Secretary Michael Ley said. Ley said a goal of the plan is to get people back on the rolls and "paying their fair share." Total payments could exceed $10 million if awareness among the estimated 80,000 tax delinquents is high and if enough choose to come forward, he said. Of the total, about $99 million is in overdue individual income taxes.

Ley said. The Revenue Department says it plans a publicity blitz to sell delinquent taxpayers on the advantages of paying their back taxes.
