He allegedly used a homemade "zipgun" that had been smuggled into the courthouse. The weapon reportedly twice failed to discharge.

Phillips was convicted in October 1986 of the 1981 murder of Carbon-dale waitress Joan Wetherall. Judge Donald Lowery sentenced him to death by lethal injection. Judge Michael Henshaw had been prepared Tuesday to hear arguments about several motions in connection to the attempted murder and weapons charges. The judge agreed to reschedule the hearing after Phillips failed to appear. Defendants have the right to be present at all court proceedings.

However, Henshaw said he would consider having the hearings and the trial without Phillips. "I'm not going to force the Department of Corrections to forcibly restrain someone to get him to change clothes," Henshaw said. "I'd consider having the trial and hearings in absentia if he won't cooperate." pilot Chet Walter said Bella, 43, and Beverly Shoemaker were charged Tuesday with three counts of assisting escape and one count of conspiracy to commit escape. The two appeared later Tuesday before Magistrate Isaac Archuleta, who set $100,000 cash bond for each.

Walter also filed complaints against the other two inmates who climbed aboard the helicopter Monday morning, charging each with one count of escape and one count of conspiracy. i rector NEW YORK (AP) Joshua Logan, who directed some of Broadway's biggest hits including "South Pacific," "Annie Get Your Gun" and "Mister Roberts," died Tuesday at the age of 79. Logan died at 3 p.m. at his Manhattan home after a long illness, his secretary Ethel Weinstein said. His widow, actress Nedda Harri-gan, said Logan died of a rare, progressive neurological disease called supra nuclear palsy.

She said his health deteriorated for several years and "at the end, he was in bed for the last year." As a director, Logan was known for the fluidity of his staging, particularly in supervising the story-heavy haraeo. for murder By Linda Sickler Of The Southern lllinoisan A 25-year-old Dix man has been sentenced to the maximum term of 15 years in prison for the second-degree murder of his one-time girlfriend. Kendall Eugene Jones had entered a guilty plea in circuit court in Jefferson County on June 14 just minutes before his trial was to begin. He had faced a first-degree murder charge for the shooting of 21-year-old Sunday Johnson of Mount Vernon. Jones was accused of shooting Johnson at his home in Dix, which is about nine miles north of Mount Vernon, on Feb.

9. Jones was reportedly possessive and jealous, and he apparently became angry because Johnson had threatened to leave him to moye to Florida. Johnson died Feb. 20 in a Springfield hospital of a bullet wound to the head. She never regained consciousness following the shooting.

The shooting occurred during an argument at Jones' home. The couple had dated and lived together on and off for a few years. Both were reported to be heavy drinkers and the shootings occurred after both had been drinking large amounts of beer and whiskey. Jones' blood-alcohol level was measured at .33 after the shooting. That is well above the standard of .10 at which Illinois motorists are considered legally intoxicated.

Associate Judge George Timber-lake imposed the sentence after hearing nearly 24 hours of testimony during a July 1 sentencing hearing. Jefferson County State's Attorney Kathleen Ailing had asked that Jones be sentenced to the maximum term. Timberlake said that a message could be given to others by the severity of the sentence. That message is that abuse of alcohol and illegal possession of weapons would be treated seriously by the courts. The mother of the victim, Doris Dodson, agreed with Timberlake.

"We feel justice has been served in this case and we very much appreciate the way in which Sunday's death was prosecuted by the state's attorney and the sentence imposed by Judge Timberlake," she said. Dodson had said in court that she hoped that the family's tragic loss would set an example for others to always use handguns and alcohol in a legal and responsible manner. By Cindy Humphreys Of The Southern lllinoisan Convicted murderer John Paul Phillips refused to don a blue jumpsuit Tuesday morning. In return, Illinois Department of Corrections officers refused to transport him from the Pontiac Correctional Center to a hearing at the Jackson County Courthouse. "In order to transport prisoners, the Department of Corrections has them wear a uniform, a blue jumpsuit, so they can be more easily identified if they manage to escape," Jackson County State's Attorney John Clemons said after the aborted hearing Tuesday.

"Phillips wouldn't put on the outfit this morning." Phillips is accused of two counts of attempted murder and two counts of unlawful use of weapons by a felon charges that stem from incidents on Nov. 12, 1986, during a sentencing hearing on his murder conviction. The state maintains that he tried to kill Thomas Mocaby, a key witness against him at the murder trial, and Assistant Attornev General mbo' SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) The last of three inmates whisked by helicopter from the state prison in a daring escape was back in custody Tuesday, and so was the pilot of the chopper, who flew the same aircraft in the movie "Rambo III." Convicted murderer Daniel Maho-ney, 30, was captured in central New Mexico Tuesday morning after a massive search in woods. The pilot of the helicopter, Charles Bella, originally had told authorities a woman hijacked him in El Paso, Texas, and forced him to fly to the prison south of Santa Fe.

Larry Hopkins, superintendent of the west cell house, said the stabbing occurred at about 7:50 a.m., when the doors to inmates' cells had been opened for them to go to breakfast. "The doors all open at once and there were between 80 and 100 inmates in a three-foot-wide walkway," Hopkins said.

"We have some possible suspects in the case, but we're not sure how many inmates were involved."

The accident involved a car driven by Jennie Lipps, 29, of Mount Vernon. No information was released regarding the accident, which authorities said is under investigation.

Johnston City Police are investigating Monday night's stabbing of 49-year-old Dallas Grizzell of Marion.

216. incident in fire Jackson County Public Defender Robert VanDerhoff, Phillip's attorney, declined to comment on the possibility of court proceedings taking place without his client's presence. VanDerhoff said he had not been in recent contact with Phillips because his client's phone privileges had been revoked by prison officials. "I received a letter from him yesterday saying that his phone privileges, including those to his attorney, had been revoked," VanDerhoff said. "I can't try a case without talking to my client." VanDerhoff said the matter will be resolved soon and he expects a collect call from Phillips within the next few days.

One of the motions that was to be argued Tuesday involves the defense's request for a special prosecutor. Clemons was one of the prosecutors during the Wetherall trial and was in the courtroom during the zipgun incident. VanDerhoff recently listed Clemons as a potential defense witness. In his motion requesting a special Bella was the pilot of the Aerospatiale Gazelle that swooped into the prison yard, picked up the convicts and fled under a fusillade of gunfire from guards in towers. Bella, Shoemaker and the three inmates all were arrested within 16 hours of the escape.

Carrol Bella said her husband, who runs a charter flight business catering mostly to television news crews and real estate salespeople, told her and police he was hijacked at gunpoint by a woman who had chartered the helicopter. She said her husband told her the woman handcuffed his hand to the helicopter's controls and forced him to pick prison inmate dies bbinq escape prosecutor, VanDerhoff said, "To permit Mr. Clemons or his office to prosecute this case and to testify for the defense would be highly prejudicial to the defendant and would deny him a fair trial." However, Clemons contends that he was named as a defense witness solely to create a conflict. "There exists no good reason for the defendant in this proceeding to call the Jackson County state's attorney," Clemons said in his response to VanDerhoff's motion. "Numerous other witnesses are available that can offer relevant, complete and more material accounts of the events." Clemons told police that he had been concentrating on Mocaby's testimony and didn't see the zipgun.

According to the motion, VanDerhoff believes Clemons' testimony is necessary to the defense because his observation that he did not see anything is inconsistent with that of the state's witnesses who said they saw an object come from the hands of Phillips and land in front of Mocaby. up the three inmates. A close friend of Bella, Tony Mobley, told The Associated Press in El Paso, Texas, that the pilot flew stunts in the movies "Rambo III" and "Extreme Prejudice." In "Rambo III," the Gazelle, modified to look like a Soviet Hind helicopter, is shot down by the character played by Sylvester Stallone. "It's a tough case," Walter said, adding there was probable cause to believe Bella was involved in an escape plot. When the chopper was finally forced down, Bella was taken into custody while his story was checked out.

Oakley. It opened on May 16, 1946 and ran for 1,147 performances. Logan then continued his association with the producing team of Rodgers and Hammerstein. He directed two comedies, "Happy Birthday," by Anita Loos in 1946 and Norman Krasna's "John Loves Mary" the following year. Both comedies had long runs.

For "South Pacific," which opened in 1949, Logan was not only director but a co-producer and co-author of the book with Hammerstein.

He was asked by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein to direct a new musical they were producing but not writing. The composer was Irving Berlin, and the star was Ethel Merman. The show, "Annie Get Your Gun," told the story of Annie.
