Jury finds two
guilty of murder
MOBILE, Ala. (UPI) - A
jury Tuesday found two
Indianapolis men guilty in the
slaying of a pawn shop
operator, and said they should
be granted their wish to die in
the electirc chair.
The trial was believed to
have been the first capital
murder case tried in Alabama
before television cameras, still
photographers and. tape re-,
corders. Several local broad
cast stations filmed or record
ed the proceedings.
The jury deliberated only 17
minutes in the murder trial of
John Lewis Evans, 19, and
Wayne Eugene Ritter, 22. Both
had taken the stand, pleaded
guilty to the murder of Edward
A. Nasser Jr., and asked for
the death penalty.
Evans and Ritter said that
they took the stand against the
advice of their attorneys. At
one point Ritter looked at the
jury and told them he would
“come back and haunt them'’
if they did not return the death
penalty
District Attorney Charles
Graddick, who also sought the
death penalty for the men,
told the jury in summation, "It
is a shame we only have one
electric chair. Maybe they
could flip a coin and see who
goes first or sit on each other's
lap."
Graddick said Evans and
Ritter, who were on parole
from an Indiana prison at the
time of Nassar's death, have an
automatic right to an appeal
Graddick said he would ask the
state Supreme Court to give it
"a priority on the calendar so
we can bring this thing to a
swift end."
Nassar, 39, was shot in the
back and killed Jan. 5 during
an attempted holdup.
Ritter and Evans, arrested
by FBI agents in Little Rock,
Ark., said after their return
here they wanted to be given
the death penalty They are
also charged with a series of
other shootings and holdups
around the south.
Overexposure is a peculiar
factor that is little understood

Works is another in ELP's
line of flawed albiutns. save
for the cohesive spontaneity of
the live Pictures at an
Exhibition It provides each
artist with an average of 21
minutes to develope his ideas
separate from the accustomed
triumvirate format.
Logically then. Keith Emer
son opens the album. Greg
Lake occupies side two. Carl
Palmer batters his hi-hats and
snare drums on side three and.
finally, all three unite on side
four.
The three movements of
Emerson’s “Piano Concerto
No. 1” flow with an indecisive
mad and melancholy grace It
is quite evident that Emerson
means to make a lasting
impression on the classical
world, but the net result is akin
to a good film score with
traces of Trilogy
Emerson is more tactfully
restrained than usual, possibly
because the London Philhar
monic Orchestra is on hand to
complement his piano skill.
The recording mix places
Emerson "up front'. but the
Philharmonic hardly qualifies
as a backing group.
Nevertheless, it is difficult
for one to imagine polite
applause to follow Emerson's
in-concert performance on this
piece.
Lake's tender guitar style
and echo-enhanced vocals
speak of lust and recklessness
('Lend Your Love to Me
Tonight”) but then cannot
understand the confusion and
loneliness that follow in causal
fashion “C*oat la Vie** i
The acoustic guitarist and
bassist perverts the Lord's
Prayer with "Hallowed Be Thy
Name" as he points out that
few man could stand up to an
‘‘accurate pen”. And he
concludes by asking to be led
into the temptation of his
fellow men.
Palmer's highlights include
"L A Nights,' with some
California musical help from
Joe Walsh, and "Tank "
"L A Nights" appears pe
culiarly out of place with its
Topanga. Canyon atmosphere.
Tt is amusing to compare
Walsh's limited strivings to
Emerson’s grandiose entrance
at the outset of Works.
"Fanfare For The Common
Man” is handled rather
cautiously by the group, but
Emerson breaks the ice with
some electronic doodling “Pi
rates" is a great tale of Roman
hedonism transferred to the
high seas, but the music is
hyper-emotional.
Freeways (Mercury Records)
is Bachman-Turner Over

a little over a year after the
suicidal Head On. A friend of
mine even went so far as to
question me abut the possible
demise of the group after the

But the former guitarist and
writer for the Guess Who.
Randy Bachman, has picked
up the ball again and advanced
it backwards to 1973-74 with
hints of Bachman-Turner Over

work.
Bachman produces, writes,

and he is repackaging a
product that once turned to
instant gold. The process is
somewhat like adding a "new
and improved" to the label of a
floor wax.
Bachman left the Guess Who
after penning such familiar
songs as "These Eyes." "No
Sugar Tonight" and "Ameri
can Woman." In 1970, he
teamed up with Chad Allen, a

eventually became BTO as
Allen dropped out to be
replaced by Blair Thronton on
Bachman-Turner Overdrive.
BTO gained considerable
status from 1973-75 while
Burton Cummings and the
Guess Who struggled with their
minor hits "Star Baby” and
“Clap for the Wolfman”.
Bachman and Cummings have
recently renewed their freind-
ship after a seven year cooling
period, however.
As Head On's story was told in
its song titles ("Stay Alive."
"It’s Over” and "Take It Like
A Man”), so it is with
Freeways t’Can We All Come

and "Life Still Goes On (I’m
Lonely)".
“Easv Groove" employs an
Archie Bell and the Drells
"dance guitar” and breathy
vocals a la Donna Su nmer
while “My Wheels Won’t
Turn" relies heavily on early
Kinks and Pretty Things.
Bachman had this to say in a
"Circus" interview two years
ago: "We have only a couple of
years in this direction. The
people may get sick of it
before we do. Then it becomes
a losing venture business-
wise".
