Rappahannock News, January 7, 1982

—Rippihmock News PSoSo/S. Ladun A NEW CLOCK HAS BEEN OFFERED the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors to be hung in the courthouse at Washington. Clerk Diane Bruce was kind enough to add to the picture by holding the clock, handmade by Peter Kramer of Washington as a tribute to his wife, Joyce, and her efforts in the restoration of the town. Kramer Donates Clock Washington cabinet marker Peter Kramer played Santa Claus to the county the day before Christmas, offering the board of supervisors a new courthouse clock. If accepted, it will replace the old Coca-Cola timepiece that was hung over the scales of justice in the upstairs court room since time immemorial. The impetus for designing a clock came some time ago. Kramer explained, when real estate agent Roger Bachelder volunteered to buy a clock for the courthouse. "I said not to do that, that I'd make one." In response, the supervisors authorized S7S to be spent on "works" for a clock. That was in 1978. “The moods of an artist are funny/' K(*m«r jok«d i* explaining the lapse between commission and completion of the project. "I finally got the design in my head and found the time to do the work.” The clock is carved of Rappahannock black walnut from a tree that Mr. and Mrs. Tom Pillar of Sperryville gave to Kramer several years ago. The original design with its graceful arch at the top is intended to give some semblance of the county’s flowing mountains, according to the craftsman. Kramer never took the supervisors up on their offer to contribute $75 for the clock works. The battery operated system and the handsome walnut casing were both donated ai'w tribute to Peter Kramer's wife, Joyce, in recognition of "her contributions to the restoration efforts we have made here in Washington, Virginia," Kramer wrote in a letter to the supervisors dated December 23. The front of the clock is inscribed with the words "Compromise breeds mediocrity." Joyce Kramer created the saying "and it has endowed our life together with beauty and uniqueness." the cabinet maker said in his letter. “Should it ever be decided not to hang the clock in the courtroom," Kramer added. “I would appreciate it being returned to me so that I might find some other suitable place." Douglas Found Guilty In Bizarre Two* Day Trial By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer After deliberating for an hour late Tuesday afternoon, a jury found Ernest Lee Douglas guilty of maliciously shooting Peter Marx in an incident that occurred in November, 1979, and sentenced him to 15 years in the the penitentary, suggesting that he also receive psychiatric help. The two day trial threatened at times to turn into a three ring circus. In almost 12 hours of testimony that Douglas' court appointed attorney termed “incredibly unusual, incredibly different and incredibly bizarre," the jury heard allegations that former President Jimmy Carter, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, the Rockefeller family and other high ranking U. S. officials were involved in a communist conspiracy to establish a oneworld socialist government. Before the lunch recess oa Monday, Douglas admitted shooting Peter Marx but justified his actions on the grounds that he was making a citizen's arrest of the victim for his part in that communist conspiracy and for a long list of other alleged felonies, including attempted murder, blackmail and perjury. According to Douglas, Peter Marx is not really Peter Marx at all; he’s Johii. ■ David Marks, a former agent of the Central Intelligence Agency. In addition, Douglas said. Peter Marx is also Daniel Elisberg of Pentagon Papers fame and might also be Peter Bourne, former head of the President's Council on Drug Abuse, and Mortin Halpren, director of the Center for National Security Studies. In wide ranging testimony that strayed far from the events of November 18, 1979, Douglas claimed that the assassination of John F. Kennedy was a fake; that the American Civil Liberties Union is formulating a plan to destroy half the population of the U. S. within the next 20 years; that Virginia Senatorial candidate Richard Obenshein did not die in a plane crash but is instead “probably liviu&in Cuba.” ContirufallyN. commonweallth's \attorney Douglas Baumgardner objected' to the introduction or^evidence that he) insisted was immaterial and irrelevant to the charges of malicious wounding against Douglas. On practically every occasion, circuit court judge x Shore Robertson overruled Baumgardner, giving Douglas the widest possible latitude to present his defense. (Douglas elected to serve as his own attorney in the tirla. His court appointed counsel Dudley Payne functioned officially as his legal advisor only.) Called as the first witness for the commonwealth, Peter Marx said the defendant had arrived at his family's weekend cabin near Washington the day prior to the shooting but indicated he was returning to his home in Richmond. Marx testified that he was surprised, therefore, to see Douglas's car in the road in front of his property on the following day, November 18. He said he was looking in the car window when the defendant walked up. Marx described Dougl*a>. hgluuiftf— belligerent and noted that he'd been trespassing on property of an adjoining landowner which the defendant had been warned to stay off. Upon request, Marx said, Douglas left but returned a half hour later, stopped his car and took a rifle from the trunk. At that point. Anthony Wasne Settle and his girlfriend Patricia Coffey arrived in a pick-up truck, looking for coon hounds that Settle’s father had lost in the vicinity on a hunt the night before. While talking to Settle about the missing dogs, Marx^aid.-nie heard an explosion behind him, realized he'd been shot in the back and jumped into the bed of the truck. In Shock “I could feel the blood coming but and the impact of the bullet," Marx said, adding that he was in a state of shock. He noted that he didn't hear any comment from Douglas prior to the shooting. Marx told the jury that Douglas had repeatedly accused him of being John David Marks and Daniel Ellsberg and described the defendant as very confused. "He thought Richard Nixon was actually Adolf Hitler,” that God was the devil, that Jesus Christ was a madman, Marx said. According to Marx, the bullet Douglas fired entered his back through a hole the size of a quarter and “exited through a quite large hole.” cause permanent muscle damage and loss of mobility to his shoulder. Marx said he suffered*^ other health complications as a result of the shooting, including a heart condition. Under questioning from the commonwealth's attorney, Marx said he had never threatened Douglas with bodily harm and characterized the conspiracy charges to overthrow the ynvgfjmen[ at_laJjSOlUJteJv absurd.” Marx said he called for help and asked for an ambulance after the shooting but got no response. He said Douglas walked to the back of the truck where he was lying, pointed the rifle at him and asked if he wanted a slug in the head or in the heart. He next opened the trunk "and said something about me getting in the trunk of his car," Marx testified. Then, said Marx. Douglas abruptly left. In response to further questioning, Marx maintained that the defendant never said anything about putting him under citizen's arrest or accused him of being involved in any felonious activities. After Douglas departed, Marx testified that he struggled to the cab of the truck and couldn't see anyone so he drove the vehicle to where Roger Yowell was cutting ^fumber on the property. Yowell drove him to Washington where he was transferred to an ambulance, 'Marx said, adding that he asked the man to notify the sheriff and inform Settle where his truck was. Who Is Marx? On cross examination, Douglas produced an obituary for Marx's father. The obituary stated that the senior Marx had fought in the German Army in World War I, later attended the University of Hamburg where he earned a doctorate in BZA Action Reversed On December 17, Circuit! Court Judge Shore Robertson signed an order reversing a decision by Rappahannock's Board of Zoning Appeals to grant a variance and for special use permit subdivision of a two-acre lot near - f-l.mt Will imf —. ... .... lots. The issuance of the variance and permit was challenged in a suit brought against the BZA in October, which alleged that the board had violated provisions of the county's zoning ordinances and acted in bad faith. Following an executive session held in November. BZA members Peter Kramer, lames Swindler and chairman Josef Gardiner voted to authorize commonwealth's and county attorney Douglas Baumgardner to seek the reversal. jurisprudence and won a Rockefeller Research Fellowship. ‘‘Your father came from Germany and was recruited by John D. Rockefeller?" Douglas asked. "That's absolutely false." Marx replied, emphasizing that his father received a research fellowship but didn't have any other connection with the Rockefellers. In response to Baumgardner's objections on the relevance of that line of questioning, Douglas said he was trying to show “who Mr. Marx is and who he works for. I've been accused of shooting Peter Marx. I don't know no Peter Marx. I never met Peter Marx in my life. I'm going to show who he is,” Douglas maintained, pointing to the witness and claiming that Marx had tried to kill him as well as committing various other felonies. In response to Douglas' charge that Marx had claimed he was Jesus-Christ, Marx said he'd never represented himself as anyone else but Peter Marx. He added, however, that he’d tried to achieve union with Christ by following his teachings. Douglas countered by introducing documents, some written by John D. Marks and others by Peter Marx. He claimed that the handwriting was the same on both, proving the two men were the During this exchange. Douglas was warned repeatedly by judge Robertson to ask questions of the witness and not attempt to testify himself. Under cross examination by Douglas. Marx acknowledgd that he'd taken the defendant to John D. Marks’ weekend home in Orlean in order to meet the writer and end Douglas' confusion over his identity. According to Marx, John D. Marks was not at home and so they didn't enter the house. (Continued on Page 2) Dogs, Dogs, Dogs Warden Warns Tag Law Will Be Enforced 1981 Top Ten News Stories In the opinion of the Rappahannock News staff, these were the top ten local stories for 1981. 1. Land Value*— Preliminary Figures for the county’s new 100 percent fair market value assessment completed in 1981 showed total value of taxable property as S241,140.400. a staggering increase of more than 2000 percent over the current discounted assessment of SI1.S82.82I. The worth of land climbed highest. going from $5,430,390 under discounted values to $143,769,500 compared to an increase on buildings fri>m $6,152,431 to $97,370,900. The supervisors voted to delay implementation of fair market value assessments until 1982, however. In addition, assessment figures won't be final until review by a board of equalization which begins meetings in^anuary. 2. Land Use—To offset what they expect will be a shift in the tax burden on to the land under the new 100 percent fair market value assessment. , the supervisors adopted countywide use value taxation in 1981. effective in 1982. To date. 709 tracts have been submitted for acceptance into the deferred tax program. In addition, the board approved two agricultural and forestal districts in 1981. bringing the total of protected acres eligible for land use under that program to 5.162. 3. Capital Outlay—Despite an enrollment of 465 in a school with classroom space for 385 and base facilities designed for 285, despite acknowledgement of overcrowding as far back as 1976, despite a request from the supervisors two years ago for projections on space needs and an expanded curriculum approved this year that necessitated additional space, the Rappahannock County School Board failed to move a step closer to an improvement program for the county high school in 1981. 4. Sperryvllle Sewer—The long delayed Sperryville sewer project, aimed at Student-Faculty Volleyball Game There will be a studentfaculty volleyball game on Friday. January 8th. beginning at 8 p.m. at the Rappahannock County High School. Proceeds will benefit the annual 7th grade class trip to Williamsburg. Admission is SI.00. Refreshments will be sold. «*> cleaning up the state's number five health hazard, went off track with cancellation or deferment of federal grants last winter and then back on track in September with a revised design and $1,417,000 from EPA tentatively allocated for construction in FY '83. The county's Water and Sewer Authority also won support from the Rappahannock supervisors for a try at obtaining additional funds, a maximum of $175,000, from the state's new economic development block grant program. 5. Washington’s Water—First trying a water witch and then the more scientific services of a state geologist, the town of Washington finally located a gusher to replace the old town well after continuing drought brought water tables to record lows and left taps d y in January and July of mi. But even its 150 gallon per minute flow hasn't solved all of Washington's waterrelated problems. The dry well ending up running the treasury dry as well and last month, the town council voted to borrow $6,000 from the bank to pay bills for constructing the new well house, installing the well and connecting pumps and pipe (Continued on Page 4) l By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer County dog tags for 1982 must be purchased by January 31 and this year, dog warden Jack Bruce warns that he'll begin issuing summones after that deadline if the tags aren't dangling from the collars of local canines. "All the wardens in this area are having one heck of a time getting people to buy licenses.” said Bruce. "People know the law and they still won’t buy their tags. I try to be nice about it and go to them and remind them that they have to license their dogs. They say they’re going to do it and then they don’t. I bend over backwards to give them breaks and they lie about it and still don’t do it,” the warden complained. In the past, Bruce noted, he’s been hesitant to write summones but he warned he’ll take enforcement action this year, requiring dog owners who do not purchase a license to appear in court. If convicted of failure to comply with local law which calls for all dogs—regardless of whether they are confined on their owners property or not—to be licensed, the negligent owners must pay a fine of S10 plus SI3 court costs. They must also buy a license, whether or no^ the dog is still alive. \ Bruce has adopted his new ”get tough" posture primarily in response to the rabies outbreak that has plagued the area. In ncigh boring Fauquier County alone last year. 38 cases of rabies in animals—both wild and domestic—were verified and nine people were exposed to the disease, requiring the painful and lengthy series of immunization shots. Enforcement of licensing laws will help prevent further spread of rabies since proof of current innoculation is required prior to purchase of dog tags. Bruce noted. The warden has a secondary problem with persons who buy licenses for their dogs but fail to attach the tags to the collars. “If they care about their dogs, they'll put the tags on. Then if I pick up the dog, it takes me just a matter of minutes to find out who it belongs to and I can call the owner right away."’ If he can’t determine ownership. Bruce noted, he keeps an animal only five days before destroying it. Many of the people he approaches about unlicensed dogs claim that the animal just showed up at their house, believing that this excuse somehow absolves them from responsibility to purchase tags. Bruce poted that according to law, "if a dog's been at'your place for two weeks, it’s considered to be your dog." Bruce, who has been a warden since 1959. recalls that when he was first appointed. Judge Rayner V. Snead told him that he didn't believe he could ever collect all the strays in the county. "I don’t ever expect to get them all." Bruce said this week. “But the county's a lot better now as far as stray dogs are concerned than when I took the job and it can be a whole lot better still...It's funny how people won’t pay any attention to their dogs—they'll just let them go. But then when I pick them up. it's all of a sudden the greatest dog in the world!" As an aid to dog owners. Bruce has again scheduled a rabies innoculation clinic to be held Saturday. January 16, at 10 am. at the old Washington fire hall on Gay Street. A three-year innoculation against the disease costs just S3, less than half of the standard veterinary charge, the dog warden noted. With proof of current innoculation, dog owners can then purchase license tags.from’ the county treasurer's office, also open from 10-11 a.m. on Saturday. January 16. n saam — RapfMJunonti Nrw* Pfcotn/S LatkatMi A DOG VACCINATION CLINIC is scheduled in Rappahannock few Saturday, January 16 from 10 until 11 a.m. at the former Washington fire hall on Gay Street across from the courthouse. A three-year immunization will be given and is necessary before purchasing dog tags for 1982. At the same time the treasurer’s office will be open so residents may also buy the tags. Mr. and Mrs. Mike Brown are shown dunng a special clinic last July when the rabies scare became evident. Dr. M.C. Rawnsley conducted the clinic. * *1

Latham THE HUNT CLUB HOUNDS were ready and eager for a chase last Wednesday when they were cast at the W.G. Eastham's Red Hill farm. Douglas F ound Guilty In Bizarre Trial (Continued from Page I) "Do you know the penalty for perjury?" Douglas asked.. After Baumgardner's objection It) the question was sustained. Douglas asked for Marx's educational background, maintaining that this information would show that Marx wasn't who he claimed to be. Again. "Tucfge Robertson sustained t|ic ^commonwealth's objections. Douglas next asked Marx if he'd ever written a perscription for the defendant or represented himself as a licensed physician. inoeea noi muixs reply to both questions. Douglas insisted that he had data in his copies of federal district court records which would show Marx was lying and asked for a recess to find the material. Judg\ Robertson agreed to recessThe trial early for lunch but ruled that collateral matters raised in crossexamination cannot be used to challenge the veracity of or impeach a witness. After court returned to session. Douglas was allowed to introduce as evidence over Baumgardner's continuing objections a letter written by John D. Marks which he said had been taken from Marks’ home the night he and Peter Marx visited the house in Fauquier. Confronted with the letter. Marx insisted it was not in his handwriting. Under cross examination by Douglas’ legal advisor. Marx repeated that he’d never told anyone in Rappahannock County that he was Jesus Christ nor had he ever represented himself as a doctor. "1 represented myself as a follower of Jesus Christ." he said. In response to Payne's questions. Marx said he had tried to help Douglas over the years by trying to make him see that violent behavior would only get the defendant in greater difficulty. Karlier Incident Pavne asked if Marx was espousing non-violent behavior when he held then trooper W. A. Buntin and former sheriff John Walker Jenkins at bay while fully armed. "I don’t recall holding anyone at bay,” Marx replied, maintaining that the incident Payne referred to grew out of a dispute with a neighboring landowner over cows. He said he Owned no guns at present and had never had any in his possession since he first met Douglas. To Baumgardner's objections. which were overruled. Payne said he was attempting to show Marx's prior violent record, a point relevant to Douglas' contention that he shot Marx in self-defense. Marx acknowledged that he had been armed in that earlier incident with Buntin and Jenkins which occurred ten years ago. ‘T didn’t use those guns at that time or any subsequent time.” he said. Shortly thereafter, he added, he decided that "guns weren't compatible with the spiritual path in life.'.' Since 1974. Marx testified, he has not possessed a firearm, even for hunting. Marx also noted that prior to the date of the shooting. Douglas had moved into his family's weekend cabin in Rappahannock in violation of a court order that he stay off the property and that he had made threatening phone calls to Marx’s family. His father's obituary was stolen from the house along with other books, papers and belongings during that time when Douglas illegally occupied the premises. Marx said. Eyewitness Account Anthony Wayne Settle testified that he saw Douglas standing on one side of the road holding a rifle and Marx standing on the other when he drove up on November 18. 1979. looking for his father's coon hounds. According to Settle. Marx told him he thought he had one of the dogs at his house. "1 asked him if h«; wanted to ride up to the ho^ise with me This ?Royt\ Washington Cash Storo to see the dog," the young man added. When Marx walked to the back of the pick-up. Settle continued. Douglas said, "Peter, you’re not leaving,” and as he went to get into the truck, Douglas shot him. According to the witness, Douglas added, “You’re not going nowhere 'cause I'm going to kill you." Settle said after the shot he got out of the truck and walked to the back at which point Marx asked to be taken away before he bed to death. Settle explained that he didn't think he’d be allowed .< > take his vehicle away. "1 asked Mr. Douglas if me and my friend could leave if we left the truck there and he „ said yes." For reasons of safety because he didn't •> know "who would be next,” Settle said, he and his friend took to the woods, walking in the direction of Route 211 and later he saw his truck leave. | Under questioning by Baumgardner, the witness said he never heard Douglas mention anything about; putting Mapfflinder citizen's u arrejf. a'^onsMracy or other ci^minal activities. Admitted/Shooting kfter Settle's testimony. 'Douglas announced that he wanted to stipulate that he'd shot Marx and dispense with the rest of the commonwealth's witnesses so as to get on with his defense. "I'm stipulating that I shot that gentleman. I don't stipulate that he's Peter Marx." the defendant said over the objections of his court appointed legal advisor. Specifically. Douglas agreed tp stipulate to sheriff W. A. Buntin's testimony that the defendant had admitted to him that he'd shot Marx. He agreed also to stipulate to Patricia Coffey’s corroboration of Settle's testimony, to testimony from Roger Yowell on Marx's physical condition after the shooting, to testimony from a doctor at Culpeper Hospital on the extent of Marx's wounds and to testimony from an Henricd County detective who took part in apprehending and disarming Douglas. After the jury was excused, Doufgjas asked for a continuance in presenting his case on the grounds that many of his witnesses weren’t present.

Douglas maintained that in making a citizen's arrest, he was entitled to Juse* the minimum necessary force required to bring a criminal to justice and “did just like any police officer" in shooting Marx. If a citizen has the rifjft tj) make an arrest, Baumgardner countered, th^-n^nt can only be exercised while a felony is actively being committed in Vis presence, objecting to both the-defense/ of citizen's arrest andtRe requested continuance. “Mr. Baumgardner got his evidence here.

The 1982 tax. rate will be 6.7 • percent, an im^ease of 0.0S percent ove(r the 1982 rate of 6.65 percent. The increase wjll amount to just 50 cents a month for a person earning $1,000 a month. Other Social Security figures are scheduled to increase in 1982 as well. The annual exempt amount used in; the annual earnings test will increase. The annual earnings test is the measure used to determine whether a person will receive benefits during a year. A person whose efirnings do not exceed —— the annual exempt amount will receive all benefits due for the year. A person's benefits are reduced $1 for each $2 of earnings above the exempt Amount. . « In 1982, the annual exempt arm^nt for people 65-72 will be $6,000. For people under 65 all of 1982. the exempt amount will be '$4,400. There is also some important news concerning the age at which the earnings test no longer applies. Hundley said. Under the law in effect before .1981 the age at which the earnings test no longer applies was scheduled to drop from 72 to 70 in 1982. A 1981 law . delayed the change—to 1983. sMofe information aljout Social Security taxes and benefits can be obtained at the Culpeper Social Security office. located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center.

It was printed in a tabloid form, and had sixteen pages. New county officials were taking office: Mrs. Merle Scoggin was selected as Deputy Commissioner of the Revenue; the Commissioner was Mrs. ‘ Virginia Smith, John Walker Jenkins ^ was Sheriff and Everett Estes was Deputy. Jonas Alther was jail custodianand Ray Jackson an unpaid deputy. Dorothy Leake continued 11 as secretary for the Sheriff’s Department and Georjffe H. Davis, the Commonwealth’s Attorney. New members of the Board of Supervisors were J. Richard Latham of Amissville and H.B. Wood, Jr. Mr. and Mrs. Edward H. Bailey of Washington celebrated \h$ir fortieth wedding anniversary with a dinner at their home in Washington. Rappahannock News readers will remember that a recent paper told of their fiftieth anniversary. At the Downtown Mart in Front Royal whole fryers were selling for 26 cents a pound, tuna for 39 cents a can, turkeys for 39 cents a pound, bacon for 39 cents a pound, mayonnaise for 49 cents a quart and bread for five onepound loaves for a dollar.

Top Ten Stories Of 1981 (Continued from Page 1) to the existing water system. 6. Dispatch—Insisting that handling Rappahannock calls overloaded Culpeper's fire and rescue dispatch system, the Culpeper fire department, owners of the county's emergency communications equipment, announced last spring that Rappahannock will have to provide its own dispatch for units in Amissville. Flint Hill. Washington and Castleton. In September, the supervisors committed $5,000 for the local match of a grant application to the Rescue Squad Assistance Fund, and this month the county was awarded $11,600 from the state for procurement of dispatch communications equipment. Staffing difficulties remain, however, since the grant is contingent upon having a dispatch center manned 24 hours a day and it appears that doing so will require 4‘/a full-time positions with the county responsible for costs. 7. Zoning Ordinance Review—After several years of talking about it. the county planning commission Finally began the comprehensive review and revision of Rappahannock's zoning and subdivision ordinances in 1981. Professional planner Dick McNear presented the commissioners with drafts of the First few chapters in November, sparking still-tobe-resolved questions on whether legally shaky provisions for limiting subdivisions on narrow rightof-way roads, delineating zoning boundaries by land slope, prohibiting resubdivisions and exempting family divisions of property from some subdivision controls will be retained in the new ordinances. 8. Resignations and 9. appointments — Rappahannock got its first building official in 10&1 wh«n that position—required by the state code but long ignored by the county—was combined with zoning administrator. Alexander Sharp assumed those duties in mid-October only to resign the following month. He was replaced in December with Washington attorney David Konick. It was a year of departures: Supervisor chairman E. P. Luke resigned, board of zoning appeals member lames Massie declined to accept re-appointment, zoning administrator Evan McNear left the post he had held for 12 years, the positions of superintendent of schools, assistant superintendent. elementary principal and elementary assistant principal were all filled by new faces. Newbill Miller quit the school board in response to an attorney general's ruling. Richard Latham announced he would decline reappointment te the welfare board and all but one member of the county's Water and Sewer Authority decided they'd had enough of Sperryville's problems with malfunctioning septic fields. 10. Rappahannock’s First Park—Awarded a S63.837 matching grant to build tennis courts, basketball court, picnic areas and exercise trail, the >* Rappahannock Recreation Authority put up the local share by giving the county title^to the recreation center on Route 211. The supervisors accepted and Rappahannock's first county park was born. Elementary Basketball The Rappahannock Athletic Association is organizing a new team: elementary basketball for grades four through seven. This group will include girls and boys. Registration will be this Saturday. January 9 at I p.m. at the Elementary school. Children should be accompanied by a parent. Practices will start Saturday.

Latham (Continued from Page 2> and I'll go round them up!" Relevant Testimony? Judge Robertson replied thaCftthe court had initiated the process for serving all the witnesses requested by the defendant and had no further powers beyond that. He questioned, however, the materiality of those witnesses and, refused to grant the continuance requested "by the defendant unless first shown the relevance of the testimony he expected front the missing witnesses. By delaying the trial lor two years. Douglas charged, "the commonwealth has kicked my case right out the door." repeating his allegations that he'd tried to bring Marx to justice earlier for a long string of alleged felonies only to find he had special protection from his supposed association with Jimmy Carter and Nelson Rockefeller. "Shooting him was a last resort." the defendant said. Going over the testimony he expected frory missing witnesses. Douglas said he wanted to ask state police officers why they'd called olT the investigation into the death of Richard Obenshein and why they'd planted eight pounds of confiscated marijuana on him. From secret service agents, he wanted to find out wfiy they'd been assigned to follow him. Douglas said he planned to ask doctors from Southwestern State Hospital why they'd first found him competent to stand trial and then changed their minds after "someone snuck around behind my back and convinced them to commit me." Douglas said he wanted to question former White House advisor Dr. Peter Bourne —"who's liable to be the same person who calls himself Peter Marx"—on why he'd authorized a perscription Marx had illegally written for Douglas. Also on the list of witnesses were Martin Halpren. director of the Center for National Security Studies; former CIA director Slanfield Turner and _ deceased Senatorial candidate Richard Obenshein who Douglas said is "probably in Cuba." In addition. Douglas said he needed a handwriting expert since the expert who had allegedly identified handwriting from John Marks and Peter Marx as being from the same person was now dead. Not Material Judge Robertson responded that none of the witnesses sought by Douglas were involved in the shooting incident and so could not be expected to give testimony relevant to the malicious wounding charge. With the jui>. back in the court room. Douglas proceeded to call the few witnesses in his behalf who were present. State police officer D. C. Osbourn, investigator assigned to the Obenshein plane crash, told the court that Douglas had called him with charges related to that crash; that CIA agents had tampered with the plane and that it had been shot down. Osbourn said he had con-sidered Douglas' charges as part of-his investigation but acjiyed independently at the same conclusion reached by the Federal Aeronautics Administration—the crash was caused by pilot error. Roger Yowell, who was cutting lumber in the vicinity during the time of the shooting, testified that he had seen Douglas up on the mountain twice previously with Marx but on neither occasion had he heard Marx say he didift want the defendant on his property. Instead, said Yowell, Marx appeared to be showing Douglas around the place. Raymond Carpenter, assistant (J. S. attorney with the Justice Department, acknowledged that Douglas had been to his office in the past charging tha.t Peter Marx had committed perjury in testimony he gave before U. S. District Court. He recalled that Douelas had maintained that the man who identified himself in civil proceedings as Peter Marx was really John D. Marks and Daniel Ellsberg. thus committing perjury. Under law. perjury requires a false statement under oath that is relevant to the issue at hand. Carpenter explained, adding _,that whether John Peter Marx was John D. Marks or not was not relevant to the issue involved in the civil suit. The U. S. attorney denied threatening to have Douglas committed. "1 said I thought you should voluntarily commit yourself." he told the defendant. Carpenter acknowledged also that he'd told Douglas he must have a psychiatric examination before his office would pursue charges further. "Why?" Douglas demanded. "Because I didn't believe you, Mr. Douglas." Carpenter replied. After he’d learned of the shooting incident in Rappahannock, the attorney said, he'd told Douglas to communicate by either telephone or letter and not to return to his office or face arrest for trespassing. Since that time more than two years ago. he added. Douglas has called on a monthly basis. W anted On I respass The defendant maintained that Carpenter had also warned him against visiting the residence of Helen Obenshein. Carpenter said that upon the request of a U. S. district judge who was a close friend of the Obenshein family, he’d warned Douglas that the Chesterfield police would be called if he appeared on the property and that he would be charged with trespassing. In justifying the message relayed to the defendant, Carpenter maintained that a woman whose husband had been killed in a plane crash just two days before didn't need to have Douglas knocking on the door, demanding to sec the deceased man who he claimed was alive and well and living in the basement of the house. Returning again to the charge of perjury, Douglas asked whether Carpenter would prosecute if he could prove Marx's disposition to in federal court was false. Whether to prosecute or not was a decision that would have to be made under U. S. attorney office guidelines on prosecution and with the approval of the senior U. S. district attorney, according to Carpenter. Under questioning from the defendant. Carpenter testified further that he did not contact the Chesterfield County police, warning them about Douglas' intention to visit the Obenshein residence; that he had nothing to do with any alleged police plan to plant drugs on Douglas and that he did not recall a conversation between himself, Douglas and a secret service agent in which Douglas claimed Carpenter acknowledged that a handwriting expert had found the handwriting of Peter Marx and John D. Marks to come from the same person. Threat To Kill He did, however, remember a November 24 telephone conversation when Douglas called and told him he would be subpoenaed to testify in the shooting trial. Carpenter recalled that Douglas said he wanted to expose this massive conspiracy against him and that he’d shot Peter Marx while making a citizen's arrest. The U. S. attorney reported that he'd asked Douglas if he shot Marx in the back. According to Carpenter, the defendant admitted he had and added. ‘The next time I get to shoot him. I'll kill him.” Carpenter noted that he always has a second person get on the line when Ltouglas calls and that another attorney had also heard the threat. Carpenter's testimony ended the first day of trial. At the start of the second. Dudley Payne reported that at the judge's suggestion and his client’s request, he'd contacted a handwriting expert, former FBI agent Ted Whitcomb of Warrenton, and asked what he'd charge to appear as an expert witness to compare the handwriting samples from John D. Marks and Peter Marx. The fee would be $650. according to Payne. He noted that the commonwealth's attorney opposed the expenditure of court funds as a waste of the taxpayers money for something he insisted was irrelevant and immaterial to the charges before the court. Judge Robertson, who had earlier ruled that a witness cannot be impeached on a collateral matter raised in cross examination, held that court revenues could not be properly expended for the handwriting expert's appearance. Douglas, who said he had no money to pay the cost himself, charged that “Mr. Baumgardner's taken this county's money and used it any way he pleased to present his defense...If the State of Virginia can’t afford a fair trail, then meant, let’s save the state some money and not have one!” the defendant said, repeatedly insisting that he couldn’t proceed without ”a handwriting expert who could identify the man he shot as John D. Marks, communist conspirator. Four Months Time Judge Robertson reminded Douglas that he'd continued the case for four months in order to give the defendant time to prepare. Securing a hand writing expert should have been done a long time ago. the judge said, suggesting that Douglas take the stand and present his allegations about the identity of the man he shot directly to the jury (sequestered during th£ discussion in the jury room) ‘‘I ain't getting up and taking the stand unless I have something to back me up.” Douglas countered. Dudley Payne interjected that the last message from his client before the judge entered the courtroom was that he didn't want to testify, that he didn't want to put Peter Marx back on the stand and that he wanted to change his plea to guilty. “If Mr. Baumgarnder will make me the right deal." Douglas added to the judge. “I ain't walking out of this court room with all the lies that man (Marx) told pinned on my shoulders...The state can spend a million for justice and not a dime for justice," he maintained, suggesting the judge give him the maximum amount the court could contribute towards payment ot a handwriting experting and he'd try to borrow the rest. Robertson noted that Whitcomb’s fee is three and a half times the amount that Payne is paid for representing Douglas. The court certainly can’t authorize more than counsel is receiving, the judge added, setting the maximum at S200. "This court has tried very hard to give you a fair trial but it can’t ignore the law." said Robertson, questioning Douglas' right to make a citizen's arrest when a felony wasn't actively being committed in his presence. Without the authority for a citizen's arrest, the issue of the identity of the mar Douglas shot—whether ht was Peter Marx or a communist conspirator—becomes irrelevant, as does the testimony of a handwriting expert who would attempt tc prove that identity, the judge explained. ' Douglas countered that he'd had a handwriting expert ready to testify at ar earlier date but that Baumgardner had refused tc give him a trial. "Now he's kicked the bucket.” (Initially, the trial was delayed in ordet for Douglas to receive psychiatric examinations tc determine his competency to stand trial. After three examinations, he was ruled competent but the commonwealth was unable tc persuade Peter Marx tc testify against his alleged assailant at ttaaA-fpiMl^As i —mult.- Baumgardner nol prossed the charges against Douglas and then reactivated them after the defendant returned to Rappahannock and moved into Marx's family's house.) Mistrial Requested Abandoning his decision to plead guilty, Douglas next asked for a mistrial on the grounds that his witnesses weren't present and that his mental records had been made a part of the case without his having the right to cross examine the doctors responsible for the records. Robertson denied his motion, noting that he'd already ruled the testimony from the missing witnesses irrelevant and that the medical records had never been presented as evidence to the jury. After another recess—one of many called throughout the day—the jury returned to the courtroom to hear Douglas testify from the witness stand. A resident of Richmond and a machinist by trade. Douglas said he'd met Marx in Central State Mental Hospital while both were inmates there in 1974. The defendant reported that Marx was in on a misdemeaner charge that was later nol prossed and said he was in as the result of a domestic dispute. (Douglas was earlier convicted of three counts of attempted murder involving his former wife.) Douglas said that he knew from the start that Marx was an imposter. “He said he was Jesus Christ in the flesh and (Continued on Page 8) Letter Indebted To the editor: All of us should be indebted to Elisabeth and Ned Johnson for the time, effort and money spent in compiling and publishing their Rappahannock history.

In severe cold weather we see a rash of foot problems. In our office we see a number of people with symptoms of frostbite. Most people don't realize that the damage to the foot can happen rather quickly, especially if your circulation is already compromised to begin with'. One elderly woman developed symptoms of frost bite because she was a native of Florida and the lowered temperatures in a house heated only with a woodstove in the back rooms proved for her to be too cold. People who smoke, especially women, are prone to a spasm of the vessels that enter the toes in reaction to the cold and this can worsen the problems.

Cannon Realty Realtors 703-356-5656 Newspapers Make Good Logs For our readers - another use for the Rappahannock News. If you are worrying about the rapidity with which the pile of wood behind the house is disappearing you should remember that newspapers make good logs. Mark C. Vodak. Virginia Tech Extension specialist in forestry, pointed out that newspaper logs will produce the same amount of heat as wood. gi This is true, he saijfreven if the paper logs are rolled by hand or with a hand-cranked machine. When paper logs are rolled with one of the handcranked. log-making devices, the paper frequently is mpistened with water to make it pack tightly. Logs so moistened should be allowed to dry so they will burn properly. Hand rolling usually is the fastest and easiest method, Vodak said. It's a good idea Jo stagger the sheets so the pages are interlocking and 4*11 hold their shape in th$ , the paper can be rolled nd a broomstick and tied in a^^ast two places with string. When the stick is removed, the center hole helps the log burn better. The paper can be brushed or dipped with melted paraffin, thereby making it easier to light. The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences faculty member said another method required soaking the paper before rolling it. A tablespoon of liquid detergent added to a tub of water will**- help the paper stick together, reducing the fly ash when it is burned. Vodak said the excess water should be squeezed from the wetted paper'hwhile they are being roiled oh^a broomstick. / "Slip it off the broomstick and dry it. The logfshould be slightly tipped so the air can circulate through the center hole,” he said. r REC Seeks Rate Hike The combination ot reduced kilowatt hour sales and increased costs has forced Rappahannock Electric Cooperative to file a rate increase application with the State Corporation Commission, according to the utility that serves customers in the southern edge of Rappahannock County. According to Francis Updike. Cooperative spokesman, the application was filed with the State Corporation Commission on December 15, 1981 and would probably be scheduled for hearing by early Spring of 1982. Updike said that the application sought an overall increase in revenue of 12.4 percent or $3,586,000. He added that the proposed rate increase would raise the cost of lOOOKWHsby $8.05. Updike stated that Rappahannock Electric Cooperative had received wholesale power increases of 26 percent from its supplier during 1981. "Those increases brought our cost of wholesale power up to an unprecedented level of 78.4 percent of our total revenue for the year. With the fixed costs of interest, principal payments, and taxes taking an additional 10 percent, we were left with only 11.6 percent of revenue to operate the total Cooperative system for the year." upaiKe saia tnat tne Cooperative, like other business organizations, was experiencing a reduction in sales due to the general state of the economy. He said, “if we exclude one large industrial corisumer. our sales dropped approximately 10.6 percent from the comparable period last year even though our number of members increased by 1075 during 1981." Updike said that Rappahannock Electric Cooperative will have margins (profits) for the year of only one-half of one percent. The Cooperative has signed mortgage agreements in which it pledged to maintain a given level' of earnings to keep the business financially sound. “Those requirements must be met or the Cooperative will be penalized in future loan applications." Updike said. -He added that the Cooperative needed adequate margins in order to rotate capital credits to its members on a timely basis and to settle estates of deceased members. "We have implemented all possible cost saving procedures in every area of the business including the reduction of our work force by eight employees". Updike said. In spite of those managerial efficiencies, he said the Cooperative will still be unable to maintain its financial health without some relief in the form of increased revenue from its electric rates. He went on to add that members won’t see any change in electric rates until late spring ,or early summer of 1982, should the increase be approved by the State Corporation Commission. Auditions Open For “Salesman” An appeal is being made to all theatre groups and actors in the Northern Virginia area to audition for the midwinter Reynolds Production of Arthur Miller's "Death of Salesman."

Readings for the play will be held the v eek of January 4 through January 8 at 7:30 p.m. in the music room of the Warren County High School. There are roles for 8 men and 5 women. feynolds Productions has been commissioned to produce this Pulitizer Prize play in March, 1982, at the Warren County High School on Luray Avenue in Front Royal. This is a location central to participants who reside in counties neighboring on Front Royal. Because of the acting and technical cotm plexity of "Death of a. Salesman” all area actors and technical personnel are encouraged to audition.

Douglas F ound Guilty (Continued from Page 4) blood and that he represented a new social order." Marx, who he initially believed to be a psychiatrist, tried to counsel him and everybody else as well, according to the defendant. Upon his release. Douglas said he contacted Marx for help in establishing relations with his child whom he was under court order not to see. The defendant said Marx contacted his ex-wife and arranged for him to meet with her and the child. It was after this point and during a period when he was frequently visiting Marx in Rappahannock that Douglas saw an article on John D. Marxs in a newspaper and decided that his background fit into that of Peter Marx. He read a book written by John D. Marks and became convinced the two were one and the same person. Douglas confronted Marx with his suspicion and according to the defendant. Marx broke down and admitted his double identity and then took him to the home of John D. Marks in Orlean. "We went right in...I could see that it was Peter Marx's house." Launching a long harangue about John D. Marks' role in the international communist conspiracy, Douglas “MY ENGINE RAN WHEN IT WAS OFF “I'd switch the ignition oft but J the engine wouldn't stop. In* | stead it sputtered, rocked and 'coughed. Then I discovered WYNN'S* SPIT-FIRE Now my troubles are over,” writes a happy user. Yes. engine “after-run" caused by heavy carbon build-up can be not only exasperating, but downright dangerous mechanically. So be kind to your car and yourself. Add a can of WYNN’S* SPIT-FIRE to your gas tank today. Now avalable at all twudFAiH maintained that former president Carter, Henry Kissinger and Mortin Halpren were all part of an effort to overthrow the government. He claimed that t!,e writer Marks worked for the Institute for National Security Studies which was financed by the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, itself an arm of the CIA. Douglas' testimony was unclear on exact chronology, but at some point after Marx had arranged the visits to his ex-wife and child, he allegedly demanded that the defendant get down on his knees and accept him as Jesus Christ. When he refused. Douglas said, he returned home to find a warrant issued for parole violation—specifically citing his visits to his son. "I knew in my own mind that Peter Marx was the one who got it done—He contacted the court...and had me railroaded to the penitentiary." As a result, Douglas said, he lost his family, his friends, his job—everything he had, a plight he held Peter Marx responsible for. What followed was the tale ot an obsession. According to Douglas. .Peter Marx as John D. Marks was a "shuffler of top secret papers” for the CIA. From him. Douglas claimed he discovered the truth about a number of mysteries, including the fate of the submarine Thresher and John F. Kennedy's assassination. “I'm familiar with the truth about the Kennedy assasination. John Kennedy was a communnist. He set up the troops at the Bay of Pigs...His assasination was a fake. He never was killed." Douglas claimed. The defendant reported that he'd sent a letter to President Carter. . not a threatening letter but the truth about a false perscription that John D. Marks wrote and Dr. Peter Bourne. Head of the President's Counsel on Drug Abuse, covered up for. The letter also dealt with Obenshein's y. t velvn and |ohn Payne ' I’uvtie Supply.

Although that letter was sent to the President, Peter Marx became aware of its contents, Douglas said. The letter incident occurred about the same time as the famous rabbit attack on President Carter, the defendant continued, adding that the Secret Service blamed him for that attack. According to Douglas, when Marx found out about the letter, he threatened to kill him for revealing secrets. Richard Obenshein, who represented Douglas in a case in U.S. District Court, was in actuality working for Marx, trying to., protect his secret identity, according to Douglas. He added that Marx also claimed to have killed Obenshein after first accusing Douglas of being responsible. The week before the shooting, Douglas continued, he was parked in front of Peter Marx's house when Marx suggested he jog down the road. Douglas said he returned to catch Marx working under the dash of his car and acting in a suspicious manner. When he later drove away, the defendant said, “something went off. It hit me in the nose and I almost blacked out...l held my breath and jumped out of the car. 1 don’t know what it was but it was close...If I hadn’t held my breath, I wouldn’t be here today.” Then the same day as the shooting, he said he caught Marx under his dash again, "taking out what he tried to kill me with before.” According to the defendant, he pulled a gun from his trunk and told Marx he was under citizen’s arrest. Douglas told the jury that he “could have killed that man anytime I wanted" but that Marx’s death wouldn't have ended the conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. government. that he wanted to do things legally and bring Peter Marx before a court of law. According to Douglas. Marx offered him a job in the conspiracy. “Personally, it would have been to my advantage to take the job but it would have been to the disadvantage of everybody else." He claimed that the conspiracy, spearheaded bv an American Civil Liberties Union project on national security, was "going to knock i off half the population of this country in the next 20 years.” The ACLU backs citizens against the Constitution and once the Constitution is destroyed, "then they’re going to knock you off,” he warned the jury. Inconsistencies Recalling Peter Marx to the stand. Dudley Payne read testimony from U.S. District court records in which Marx admitted entering John D. Marks' house with Douglas, writing a falsified perscription for the drug preludin for the defendant and then taking the drug with him. Confronted with the inconsistency in his testimony, Marx maintained that he didn’t recall making the statements in the 1977 District Court case but if the record showed he had admitted entering the house and writing the perscription, "that must be the case." In his summation to the jury. Baumgardner asked if Douglas would have left Marx in the back of a pickup truck, bleeding profusely, if he had in fact been making a citizen’s arrest. He told the jury they could infer that Douglas acted with malice through 'his use of a deadly weapon and reminded the six men and six women that an eye witness to the shooting testified Douglas had threatened to kill Marx. He also noted that the defendant admitted to U.S. attorney Carpenter that he’d kill Marx if he got another chance. Douglas shot Marx because he hated him and wanted to kill him, not because he was trying to make a citizen’s arrest, Baumgardner said. In his final arguments. Douglas claimed he was the victim, not Marx. He said he’d tried to have Marx arrested and failed and so “shot him to teach him a lesson.” he noted that he could have killed Marx but only wounded him because "I wanted this man here” in court. In a last word, he told the jury that if he had to go back to jail for one more day. he wanted them to give him the entire 20 years, the maximum sentence for malicious By BIRGITT THORNHILL ArTHI Family Resource Announce* ments: Refinishing Furniture Classes are being held from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. on Tuesdays at the Sperryville fire hall through the month of January.

General District Court Cases wounding. Dudley Payne acknowl:dged that his client’s behavior in the courtroom was incredibly unusual, incredibly different and incredibly bizarre but reminded the jury of an old Indian saying: “Don’t judge another person until you walk a mile in his moccasins.” He noted the jury was called on to judge Douglas but asked them to first look back over the defendant's life since that fateful day when he met Marx at Central State Hospital. “In his mind, he shouldn't be on trial today. He should be getting a medal," Payne said. Payne pointed out that Douglas blamed Marx for the loss of his family, friends, job, money—"everything he had"—and had gone to various law enforcement agencies for help in solving what he called the Marx problem. “So he made a citizen's arrest...and in the process of that citizen’s arrest, Mr. Marx was shot." In his rebuttal. Baumgardner reminded the jury that Douglas shot a man in the back, left him possibly bleeding to death and fled to Richmond. Would he have left the sc^ne if he was making a citizen’s arrest? The commonwealth’s attorney asked. “To quote an old Biblical saying. ’The wicked flee. The innocent stand as righteous as a lion.' " At four the jury retired and shortly before 5 p.m. they returned a verdict of guilty of malicious wounding, recommending Douglas receive psychiatric help and sentencing him to from 5 to 20 years. The judge sent them back to fix a specific time with Douglas adding “If you give me one, give me all 20!” A few minutes later, the jury returned a second time with a 15 year sentence and recommendation for psychiatric help. Judge Robertson set February 4 for receiving a pre-sentence report to include an evaluation for sanity by a commission of three psychiatrists.
