Andrews told the jury certain statements by Hilliard to his victims showed his being out of touch with reality. Hilliard told one victim, according to trial testimony, he would return the next night as her lover, Andrews told the jury. EAKIN, HOWEVER, said Hilliard was aware his actions were wrong because of threats he used, because he carried out the acts at night and because he robbed some of his victims.

"Stealth was involved, the crimes happened at night," Eakin said. "Is that the act of a man out of touch with things or is that the act of a man who knew that what he was doing was wrong Eakin told the jury whether Hilliard is classified as a "psychopath, psychotic or schizoid," he was legally sane at the time of the incidents. After Sheely's instructions, the jury will deliberate and is expected to return a verdict today. Dash declines state post WASHINGTON (UPI) Attorney General Griffin Bell announced today former Senate Watergate committee investigator Sam Dash has withdrawn as a candidate for the job of federal prosecutor in Philadelphia. He said Dash told him the delay in filling the post occupied by Republican David.

Marston, plus "pressing commitments," moved him to decline the offer. Bell said Dash had written him Feb. 13 of his decision, but was asked to reconsider. The attorney general said, however, "He has informed me personally today that he feels he is unable to do so." He said it is "unfortunate" Dash's personal plans and commitments were so pressing. Dash was chief committee counsel to the Senate Watergate Committee hearings in the summer of 1973.

He practices and teaches law in the Washington area. The U.S. attorney's position in Philadelphia has been the Obituaries George A Selg DUNCANNON George A. Seig, 88, RD2, died Monday at Polyclinic Medical Center. He formerly owned Seig Coal Colonial Park.

Marston, appointed to the post late in 1976 by President Gerald Ford, had successfully prosecuted a number of prominent local politicians, many of them Democrats. He has charged his removal was politically motivated because he was investigating Democratic members of Congress. Bell rejected those arguments, saying he had planned to replace Marston long before the question achieved national notoriety.

The Justice Department began considering Dash as a candidate for the job in the aftermath of Marston's firing. "I appreciate Mr. Dash's position and I accept his decision," Bell said today. "As you know, Mr. Dash did not seek this job.

He was persuaded to consider it at the urging of a panel of Philadelphia lawyers whom I asked to assist me in selecting a U.S. attorney. "I have studied Mr. Dash's record and it shows that he is eminently qualified to be U.S. attorney.
