Nicholas disqualified from hearing their case. Attorneys for James and Karln Shaffer made the motion Friday before their scheduled arraignment before Nicholas.

A new Judge has not been named, although District Judge Robert Ranck Is scheduled to be in Lander next week. The Shaffers are charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of first-degree arson each. The Shaffers allegedly set fire to their home at Arapahoe last November. The bodies of their three children were found in the home after the fire was extinguished. The Shaffers requested that Nicholas not hear the case because Nicholas presided at a hearing in March in which he ruled In favor of exhuming the body of the couple's third child, 20-month-old Robbie.

Buss, whose properties include the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Kings, paid $5,362,500 for the 42-room home and 2.7-acre estate.

The mansion, which Fairbanks and Miss Plckford, Hollywood's richest and best loved silent screen star, purchased for $37,261.77 half a century ago, was originally put up for sale for $10 million by Buddy Rogers, the late actress' second husband. Buss, a bachelor known for his gregarious lifestyle, made the $5 million offer three months ago. Superior Court Judge Edward Rafeedle, the probate Judge for Miss Pickford's estate, opened It to overbids but did not receive any. "It must be a lemon," he joked during a five minute hearing at his courtroom In suburban Santa Monica Friday. "It must be a fixer upper." said that when the Mountain View fire department and sheriffs deputies arrived at the trailer park about 3 45 a.m.

Friday, the mobile home was "fully engulfed In flames." He said Investigators discounted the theory by Mrs. Mangum that the fire was caused by the stove, because the blaze appeared to have started at the other end of the trailer. But they said they still had not determined the cause of the fire. Waters said the fire began after Mrs. Mangum apparently argued with her husband, who theft took the children to a neighbor's.

He said her husband told police that he returned the trailer was burning, and he pulled Mrs. Mangum from the blaze. It was the third case of arson in the county this DAVID SHEENAN, 63, of Biigham City, Utah, is In the intensive care unit at Memorial Hospital of Sheridan County following an accident on U.S. 16 about five miles west of Buffalo Thursday afternoon. Sheenan was driving a box truck loaded with fruit down the mountain toward the east when hi brakes apparently failed and he lost control, according to the Wyoming Highway Patrol.

He attempted to enter a runaway truck turnout, but another truck, driven by George Arno, a Buffalo rancher, was In the path of approach to the turnout headed westward, the patrol said. Sheenan tried to avoid a collision by swerving enough to enter the turnout, but his vehicle sideswipe the Arno vehicle and started rolling, the patrol said, estimating that the Sheenan run FORT WORTH, Texas (UPI) The brother of alleged, presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald Friday won his emotional appeal to halt the opening of the Oswald grave to determine the identity of the body buried there. Civil District Judge James Wright issued a temporary injunction against British author and attorney Michael Ed-dowes who had sought to perform an autopsy on the corpse to prove or disprove his theory that a Russian agent assumed Oswald's Identity and killed President John F. Kennedy in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963.

"The consistent pressure brought on by news reports has prevented me from conducting a normal life," Robert Oswald of Wichita Falls, Texas, testified. He expressed "total disbelief at the attempt at unwarranted intrusion on my brother's final resting place." Robert Oswald and Lee Harvey's widow, Marina Oswald Porter, were not available for comment to reporters but spoke with their attorneys. Kenneth Campbell, representing Oswald, backed up the judge's opinion. "Just because someone has some theories Is not sufficient reason to violate the sanctity of the grave," he said. "We're very pleased." HE SAID a hearing date for a request for a permanent Injunction against exhuma- tion would be requested depending on Wright's schedule.

"Robert was very pleased and looks forward to pursuing the action," Campbell said. Mrs. Porter's attorney, Richard Levin, said, "She is disappointed. We thought we were going to win the case and didn't. She views it as a temporary setback.

"I know my client Is very concerned about this, and wants to see It through and try to unravel the whole mystery. Eddowes, 76, said he would return to England "fairly shortly for a few weeks but expected to be back In Dallas. "We are very disappointed," Eddowes said. "We are looking into the possibility of an appeal." In his seven-page opinion, Wright said: "In short, rumors, speculative theory, conjecture and public curiosity will not suffice. It Is the opinion of this court that the Plaintiff (Oswald) has shown a probable right and a probable injury." Wright said his opinion was based on legal precedent dating to 1867 and the civil law of ancient Rome.

MRS. PORTER, a resident of suburban Rockwall, last month gave Eddowes permission, to exhume the body, but the plan was halted at the last minute by a temporary restraining order obtained by Robert. Mrs. Porter testified she thought ft possible she married, an lmposter in Russia In 1961. Wright did not extend his Injunction to Include Rose Hill Burial Park, the location of the grave covered with a red granite marker saying: "OSWALD." Eddowes, who wrote a book "The Ob wald File," claims a Russian agent took Oswald's Identity when Oswald defected to Russia In 1959.

Eddowes said the agent' returned to the United States, with wife' Marina and a child, In 1962 and killed. Kennedy a year later. Pathologists have said Oswald's 1958 Marine Corps dental records, when conV. pared to the teeth of the body In the Fort, worth grave, will prove "100 percent" whether Oswald was actually a Soviet "sleeper" agent. Eddowes has never flatly stated that Oswald was replaced, only that there is a "50-50 chance," sufficient reason for the exhumation.

The evidence Involves physt-" cat discrepancies between the assassin's'1 corpse and Oswald's previous medlcaT records. Cuban cosmonaut on board orbiting Soviet space station SOL LESSER, the motion picture pioneer who helped develop the concepts of movie previews and personal appearances by stars, died Friday at his West Los Angeles home. He was 90. Lesser, a native of Spokane, became a theater owner In 1906, after starting a film exchange In San Francisco, and was one of the early founders of motion picture production In Hollywood. He founded West Coast Theaters in 1923, and was a co-founder of First National Pictures which later was sold to Warner Bros.

Lesser introduced Jackie Coogan, who later became a famous child star, In "Oliver Twist," the first time a child was made the star of a film. away vehicle was traveling at 85 mph. Arno suffered only minor injuries. The patrol said the truck Sheenan was driving was totally demolished and Sheenan was pinned In the cab. It took more than an hour for wrecker crews, the Buffalo Fire Department and the ambulance crew to cut their way clear to remove Sheenan.

World MOSCOW (UPI) A Cuban and a Soviet cosmonaut maneuvered their spacecraft towards a docking with the Salyut-6 space station Friday In a mission whose alms looked to be more political than scientific. Like the flight of the first Vietnamese cosmonaut sent aloft during the Moscow Olympics, the choice of Lt. Col. Arnaldo Tamayo Mendez as the first Cuban spaceman was seen by observers as a gesture to emphasize Soviet good will toward the Third World and non-aligned nations. Experts said their flight aboard the Soyuz-38 spacecraft was not expected to differ significantly from past Soviet space missions and that the cosmonauts were not carrying any new equipment or planning to conduct new experiments.

Commanding Soyuz-38 was veteran Soviet cosmonaut Col. Yuro Romanenko. He and Tamayo, who has trained in the Soviet Union for the mission since 1978, blasted off at about midnight Thursday amid a flurry of tributes from Soviet officials. The docking with Salyut-6, where cosmonauts Valery Ryumln and Yuri Popov were waiting to greet them, was expected to come at about 5 p.m. EDT.

The official Tass news agency reported the two spacemen were feeling well and operations were going according to THE STATE-RUN television devoted a hour special to the takeoff from the Baikonur central Asian launching pad, including a shot of Cuban President Fidel Castro watching the liftoff back in Havana. Interviews with the spacemen were aired throughout Friday, showing Romanenko with his arm around his Cuban colleague, or the two standing at salute In Red Square. Western observers said the uncharacteristic pre-fllght coverage in the Soviet press seemed intended to Impress Third World countries, which pay close attention to Cuba as the current chairman of the so-called non-aligned movement. These were the first visitors for Ryumln and Popov, who have been aboard Salyut-6 since April 9. They appeared certain to set a new space endurance record as they approach the current mark of 175 days In space set by Ryumln and another Soviet colleague just last year.

Tamayo, 38, the seventh non-Soviet launched under the Intercosmos space program, was born In Guantanamo, Cuba, and was orphaned a year later, acccording to an official biography released by the Cuban Embassy In London. A fighter pUot by 1961, be flew 20 search and pursuit missions against enemy planes during the Cuban missile crisis. In 1964 he became a member of the Union of Young Communists, thebiograpby said. LIBERTARIAN Party presidential candidate Ed Clark will be on the Wyoming ballot this fall, but he won't be listed as a Libertarian. The secretary of state's office certified Clark Thursday after his supporters submitted nearly 11,000 signatures on nominating petitions.

Clark, a Los Angeles businessman, needed 6,469 signatures of registered voters to get on the ballot, but the secretary of state's office stopped counting shortly after that total was reached. "We certified Just a few more than he needed," Elections Clerk Carol Petera said. "The final count was 6,522." But Mrs. Petera said Clark will be listed on the ballot as an independent, because under Wyoming law for a political party to be listed on the ballot, It must have received at least 10 percent of the votes cast for Congress In the last general election. The elections office Is still counting nominating signatures for independent candidate John Anderson, whose supporters subm itted about 8,200 names earlier this week and plan to submit additional names by the Friday deadline.

THE BLOOD of Naples' patron saint, San Gennaro, liquefied Friday before 6,000 cheering Neapolitans and tourists, church officials said. Almost simultaneously. In the Naples suburb of Pozzuoll, stones reddened in the Flavio amphitheater where San Gennaro was beheaded by the Romans for his Christian activities in the year 305 A.D., the officials said. For many Neapolitans, the liquefying of the blood and the reddening of stains on the amphitheater stones signified a miracle, portending peace and prosperity in the coming year. This year It was an extra-special occasion because Cardinal Cor a do Ursl, archbishop of Naples, read out a proclamation by Pope John Paul II making San Gennaro also known as St.

Januarius patron saint not only of Naples, but also of all the 26 dioceses in the Campania province around Naples. The Roman Catholic church encourages the veneration of the saint but has never officially proclaimed the liquefaction to be a miracle. It has left Investigations into the authenticity of the "happening" to scholars.

(UPI) Scientists said Friday they have noticed a swelling of approximately a half-Inch per day on the north side of the crater atop volcanic Mount St. Helens. They said a laser detection system spotted the movement over the bast several weeks.

Don Peterson of the U.S. Geological Survey said the deformation Is only one one-hundredth of that noted prior to the gigantic May 18 eruption that blew 1,300 feet off the top of the mountain and left 63 dead or missing. He said the swelling prior to the May 18 blast was five feet per day. Peterson said the chance for, an eruption similar to that cataclysmic explosion was small. He said It was more likely that future eruptions would be similar to the smaller ones that occurred later In May and In June, July and August.
