BENNING, Ga.

(AP) Lt. William Calley's defense attorney, that complained bitterly murder toclient's jury is "conducting business as and dragging out their deliberations. The jury is in its seventh day of deliberations. "If they're watching the Glen Campbell and Ed Sullivan shows and wining and dining themselves, 1 think that's a disgrace," George Latimer told the trial judge. His complaint was prompted by newspaper reports that the six officers on the jury had requested a week's supply of fresh laundry and that arangements be made for their paychecks, due March 31.

But Judge Reid Kennedy said he will not set hours for the jury because "I would rather see the verdict in this case be a well thought -out verdict." The said he thought Latimer's complaints about the jury's relaxing after court were ill-founded, saying "They have to get haircuts; they have to eat." When he turned the fourmonths worth of testimony over to the jury one week ago today, the judge told the six veteran officers they could set their own hours and not to get overtired. In the first six days, the jury spent some 34 hours actually deliberating and many other hours in the courtroom listening to a read-back of testimony from 10 key prosecution witnesses. Most days they started their talks shortly after 9 a.m. and one night stayed as late as 8:55 p.m. but the rest of the time their work day ended about 5:30 p.m.
