Despite prior warnings by the judge that the "court will not tolerate any outbursts," there was a loud gasp from the audience.Familymembers and others wept openly. Klinger was hugged by his attorney William C.

Costopoulos, then sat without apparent emotion. Quigley told the court, "I think the verdict is justified under the is with considerable pleasure I state this courtroom is adjourned." Klinger was returned to Cumberland County Prison following the verdict, where he may face charges of forgery or unauthorized use of a vehicle. A tired-looking Costopoulos was ebullient following the decision. He had words of praise for the judge and District Attorney C. Joseph Rehkamp.

"In the opinion of the defense counsel, the Hon. Judge Keith B. Quigley could not have been more fair," Costopoulos said. "He's as fair a judge as I've ever performed in front of." "District Attorney Joseph Rehkamp was instrumental in seeing that justice done in this case by seeing that all scientific evidence was examined thoroughly by both sides." AUTHORITIES SAID after the trial they do not know if any other suspect will be charged with the May 28 death of Mrs. Hazel Pulaski.

In the afternoon prior to the retiring of the jury, the defense counsel and prosecuting attorney delivered their summations in the case. Costopoulos addressed the jury first, in a dramatic one-hour and fifteen-minute closing. The defense attorney pointed out the jury must be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt Klinger committed the crime before finding him guilty. "If you think he probably did it, that's not good enough," he said. "At this time I will try to point out for you the most obvious reasonable doubts." Costopoulos used chalk and a black-board on which he enumerated seven facets of the case which he said could create a reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors.

The first doubt, he said, was Dennis Klinger. Costopoulos pointed out Klinger's testimony in the trial was almost exactly consistent with a statement he gave police after his arrest on June 2. "TO CONVICT Dennis Klinger, without a reasonable doubt, you have to be convinced he was lying from the word 'go'," Costopoulos charged. Second, Costopoulos said, was the route Klinger said he took the morning of his mother's disappearance. The attorney acted out a dialogue in which he played the parts of himself interviewing Klinger, and Klinger, showing the jury how he and his private Investigators arrived at the route which Dennis took on the morning of May 28.

"He had to have been telling the truth," Costopoulos said. "How could he have come up with that route, that fits within the time frame, at a time when no one even knew what the time frame was?" Third, he said, was the fact of the "two guys" who pulled Klinger's car from the mud on Thursday, and who saw Klinger driving north on Lamb's Gap Road alone on the Friday in question. Again, Costopoulos attempted to create the scenes in which the "two guys" Walter Duncan and James Crist were found and questioned. Robert Pulaski, the victim's husband upon whom the defense had attempted to cast the shadow of guilt throughout the trial, was listed as the fourth doubt. Costopoulos pointed out inconsistencies between Pulaski's testimony and the testomonies of other members of Pulaski's family and friends.

KLINGER Pag 3 By LEON GRUMBLING Staff Writer NEW BLOOMFIELD Dennis Klinger was found innocent of the murder of his mother Friday night In the emotional climax of a two-week trial here. After deliberating for less than two hours, the seven-man, five-woman jury filed back Into the courtroom about 7:25 p.m. There was an electric silence throughout the courtroom as Jury foreman William S. Russ handed the written verdict to a court clerk, who presented it to Judge Keith B. Quigley.

Quigley determined the verdict was in order, and the slip of paper was handed back to jury foreman. Russ read, "We Teen queens Evening sntinl Ron Brrlc Lots of scouts Flag bearers from Boy Scout Troop 283, Mechanicsburg, head the congregation of scouts at LeTort Park during this rnbmmg opening ceremony of the Carlisle Historical Trail.

"He has indicated he prefers to be over there (in the old courthouse)," said Commissioner Jacob Myers. "We'll do anything we can do to find him space suitable to his stature. Cumberland County has a lot to be proud of in a man about to be president judge of the Superior Court." The term of the current president judge, G. Harold Watkins, is scheduled to expire the end of next year.

Jacobs would then ascend to the position since he has the next highest seniority of the seven judges of the Superior Court. He was commissioned in 1965. "What's aggravating the situation is the third judge," Myers said. "We need to accommodate him at the Common "I felt very good afterwards," Anderson said.

"Mondale answered questions clearly, confidently, quietly and had good arguments and facts, Feuchtenberger said. "But Dole was glib and evading of the questions. "THE GENERAL feeling here was that Mondale didn't apologize for the charges of being a big spender, but Dole was basically negative and didn't answer the Debate winner clear, both chambers in the old courthouse over rented spate somewhere in town.The former arrangement provides easier a-jcess to the law library and other courthouse services the judge or his cicie; might need, she said.

Myers said a decision would be reached aftor the legislative confirmation of the county's third judgeship because "then it would be right down to the contend which have made vice-presidents presidents. "THERE'S ALSO a certain amount of apathy about the presidential candidates which makes it more important to know who the vice-presidential candidates are." Feuchtenberger said he really doesn't think the declared Carter or Ford supporters will be swayed by last night's confrontation, but he said the undecldeds may be. It may also serve to harden some of the soft support, Feuchtenberger said- "The debate will definitely influence voters, to what degree I don't know," Anderson said. "I won't say people will make up their minds on this alone, but I think it will sway some undecideds.

Both chairmen saw no major blunders made by either candidate and both felt the candidates' stands and arguments were consistent with their parties and their running mates' philosophies. Both agreed further, the vice-presidential debate had intrinsic value in helping people acquaint themselves with the candidates and may even help some make up their minds about their presidential choices. "I don't know how much it will affect the election," Feuchtenberger said.

"But in this particular campaign, people are interested in who the vice-presidential candidates are, especially with the things happening in the last couple of ytars and concluded that my present duties as a Congressman are more important than a bid for the U.S. Senate," Shuster said when he formally bowed out of the running.

With the third judgeship likely to be passed sometime this year or early next year, the question becomes where to put Superior Court Judge Robert Jacobs. THE THIRD JUDGE will be put in Jacob's present chambers on the courthouse's fourth floor. Jacobs will move either to the old courthouse's present tax mapping room or to a rented office in town. For the former option, tax mapping would, of course, be moved elsewhere.

Democratic party Chairman William Feuchtenberger was attending the Democrats' fall fundraising dinner and dance and did not get to see much of the debate, but said party people who saw it were "almost elated with the performance of Mondale. "MONDALE WAS very clearly the winner and very clearly the person to make the best i Feuchtenberger said. "The feeling was just universal here that he did well."

For the Republicans, it was Sen. Robert Dole of Kansas, for the Democrats Sen.

Walter Mondale of Minnesota. At least that's how the chairmen of the Republican and Democratic parties of Cumberland County saw it. Republican Chairman Richard Anderson said Dole was the clear winner, who "outdid himself in picking up on his opponent's points and shooting them back to him. "He was very quick and very sharp," Anderson said of the second man on the Republican team.
