2A THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, Oct. 19, 19T6 Morrow Teen's Killii ng 1ASKED METHOD CHANGE McDonald Maps FtniOB Charges Is Called Accidental is By LYN MARTIN A Georgia Bureau of Investigation JGBI) report completed Monday indicates the fatal shooting of a 14-year-old Morrow boy by a police officer was "accidental" according to a GBI source. 1 Tom McGreevy, GBI director of operations, reported Monday that the GBI investigation pointed to "essentially" the same Conclusion as an investigation conducted by the Clayton County Police immediately after the Sept. 18 shooting. "There was no intention on the part of he officer to shoot the boy," McGreevy said he investigation indicated.

"It was a terri-le accident." Both the GBI and the Clayton County investigations have been kept secret. The GBI investigation, which was ordered by Gov. George Busbee, is expected to be delivered Tuesday to Clayton County Dist. Atty. William Ison, who said he will not release it.

The results of both investigations will be made public at a coroner's inquest which Clayton County Coroner Pope Dickson will Conduct. Dale Bragg, 14, of 6219 Graceland Circle was fatally wounded last month by Morrow Police Officer William Howard, 24, of College Park, according to authorities. Howard and his partner were answering a burglary call to a vacant house at 6212 Graceland Circle just after midnight when Howard's drawn .357 magnum "accidentally" discharged after he called to the subjects at the house to "freeze," according to a statement by the Morrow Police Department The GBI report of the incident apparently concurred with the statement. "In the pitch blackness in the middle of the night, they thought they had a burglary in progress," McGreevy related. "There was confusion, in and people couldn't see what was going on.

"He (Williams) aimed his gun in the general direction of someone. The fact that the gun went off and hit someone was accidental" he said, Williams was temporarily suspended from his police duties pending the outcome of an investigation of the incident. IS- I tions from a form given to patients instructing them in the use of laetrile. McDonald said Shuman was asked to delete the request for contributions because it did not contain political disclaimers required by the Federal Election Commission (FEC). "We had no knowledge of this," said of the instruction sheet "But upon finding out, (we) urged him to make that change." When a reporter posing as a cancer patient recently visited Shuman's office, he was given the written request for donations to McDonald; Shuman said at the time he had been told to lete the line because "The Atlanta Constitution-' was going to do an expose." The '72-year-old Burk, former chief chemist' for the National Cancer Institute, has been one of the leading spokesman for pro-laetrile groups.

Burk insisted that laetrile "is not an illegal drug, J-but a legal food. "I know of no more effective anti-cancer agent than laetrile," Burk said. The FDA has called laetrile "totally less" and a "cruel hoax," and considers its ship-----ment across state lines to be a federal crime. nr -Burk charged that "the FDA very lies" and that the FDA and other medical au- --thorities denounce laetrile because "it represent a threat. previous ideas." McDonald said he urged Burk to appear be- cause "I thought it was necessary to bring in a scientific expert to clarify the political article." (, The congressman said he "is considering legal against the newspaper.

He also de-. nounced as "erroneous" and "politically a report that the state medical board will investigate McDonald and Shuman's involvement 4 i By PAUL LIEBERMAN 7' and JIM STEWART Rep. Larry McDonald said Monday that he urged a Marietta physician to change his method of fundraising when he learned that the doctor was asking cancer patients under his care to contribute to the Seventh District congressman's campaign. Addressing a news conference, McDonald said that at the time he did not want the doctor's requests to be "misinterpreted as though the campaign were asking. 1 "We would not want to confuse the practice of medicine with the campaign," he said.

McDonald attacked reports in Saturday's editions of The Atlanta Journal and Constitution that Dr. Robert C. Shuman of Marietta had asked for contributions to McDonald from patients Shuman was treating with an illegal drug known as laetrile. -The congressman presented a California scientist who is a well known defender of lae-; trile, who said the government was lying when it I called the peach and apricot extract "totally worthless" and "a cruel hoax." The scientist, Dr. Dean Burk, also termed press reports linking the drug with McDonald's campaign "totally inaccurate." It had been reported that Dr.

Shuman, an anesthesiologist, was treating cancer patients with the drug and asking that, instead of a fee for bis services, money be donated to the McDonald reelection campaign. The federal Food and Drug Administration said Monday that it would look into the reports. "The distribution of laetrile in this country is a. very, very serious problem," said regional FDA Director Maurice Kinslow. "We are going to vigorously follow up on all of the leads represented in the news articles," Kinslow said.

McDonald said at his Monday press ence that he was "not aware" of whether any patients of Shuman had actually given him contributions. "This was on a purely voluntary basis," he said of the request for contributions to Shuman's patients. 'A SON'S ARREST RECORD Staff Photo-Bill Wilson Dr. Dean Burk Defends Laetrile Doctor Paid for Theft Of File, Ex-Officer Says McDonald said Shuman was worried about the "unconstitutional growth" of the federal government and that "he has urged his colleagues, he's urged, his members, xhurch with laetrile. McDonald said that Cecil Clifton, executive director.

of the board, announced Jury Pleads for members as well as patients of his that if they investigation after consulting with only two of te 12 board members. share similar concern; he would hope they get behind and support those in Congress" with a similar view. But McDonald said his campaign office asked Shuman to delete a request for contribu Claiming that "no law has been violated, McDonald suggested that Shuman had actually offered "about the best deal from a patient's standpoint that's ever been offered." JACKSON JOINS IN Busbee Is Asked for No-Execution Vow CARROLLTON-A Carroll County Superior Court jury reached a unanimous decision Monday and interrupted the testimony of a witness to throw itself on the mercy of the court. Judge Lamar Knight demonstrated that while justice may be blind, it certainly is not deaf and knows an urgent plea when it hears one. Court had just reconvened after a 10-minute recess, the jury had filed back in, and the dramatic testimony of a witness had begun, when Knight suddenly snapped to the bailiff: "Take the jury out right now, and take 'em to the new jury room this time." Surprised spectators, abuzz with curiosity, sought in vain among themselves for an explanation as the jurors filed out hurriedly.

When the jury was gone, Knight turned to the courtroom and said, "I just learned that something's wrong with the bathroom in the old jury room." -ROBERT LAMB from acts of ultimate violence if the state itself resorts to By ROBERT LAMB I Constitution Staff Writer CARROLLTON-A former Carrollton policeman testified Monday that Dr. Jack Birge paid him to arrange the theft of -a police file so Birge's son colild not be prosecuted for possession of marijuana. Andrew Dominick, who was indicted along with Dr. Birge for. hindering the apprehension or punishment of a entered a plea of guilty before the trial opened Monday and turned state's evidence.

Dominick said he had gone to 'Birge as a patient last July and that Birge told him, "My son's in trouble. Is there any way you can help me out? Whatever it takes, I can handle it." Dominick said he agreed at a later meeting to help steal a search warrant and police file connected with the-charge against Edwin Birge, 23. "I talked to three police officers," Dominick said, "and officer Bob Coats agreed to steal the file from the police department." byterian Church across Washington Street, from the state Capitol.

Guerrero insisted that the 1945 Georgia Constitution gives Busbee the power to stop all executions for parole board review and "for any other purpose which may be deemed necessary by the governor" But Riner said the governor only has the power to issue that act? "The bloodletting must be stopped," he said.

The mayor was joined by Gene Guerrero, executive director of the Georgia branch of the American Civil Liberties Union; Jondell Johnson, executive director of the Atlanta branch of the NAACP; state Rep. David Scott and' By JIM GRAY The Georgia Committee Against the Death Penalty, joined by Atlanta Mayor May-nard Jackson, called on Gov. George Busbee.

Dominick said Coats agreed to steal the file, which contained the warrant, in return "for the favor of a loan from the bank to get his body shop going." Dominick testified that Birge paid him $700.
