The state rested its case late Wednesday after testimony by four witnesses, including the 18- year-old-vietim and her escort on the night of 20. They since have married. The girl and her husband testified six youths dragged them from a parked car and forced them into a shelter house. They said they were threatened with a chain, an ice pick and a piece of wire. Both.

identified Gerald Woods of Fort Scott as one of the six. Others who testified were Gerald Scott, the county engineer, and Claude Emrick, Fort Scott chief of police. Emrick said the victim and her escort identified. Woods at the time he was arrested, Scott presented a' drawing of the park, the car and the shelter house.

(AP)-Parole has been denied the prisoner who has spent the longest continuous stretch in Stateville Penitentiary.

William R. Pethick; 69, who has spent 47 years behind bars, wept when told the news, his attorney, Richard LeFevour, said Wednesday. The Illinois Parole and Pardon Board said only its denial was based on careful investigation. Pethick, Chicago was in convicted On of 1915. May 15 of that year, he hammered and stabbed to death a South Side housewife and slashed to death her 2-year-old son.

The late Clarence Darrow, an internationally famous lawyer, won Pethick a life prison sentence. LeFevour now contends he is mentally competent. LeFevour said the double slaying resulted when the housewife tendered a $20 bill in payment for $4 worth of groceries which Pethick, a deliveryman, brought tc the woman's home. An argument developed because Pethick was unable to make change, the lawyer said. At the trial, Darrow pleaded Pethick was mentally deficient as a result of being struck on the head with a baseball when he was 8 years old.
