State Supreme Court
frees Dr. Marchman
The conviction of an Atlanta
physician who was sentenced
twice in Spalding Superior
Court for the theft of an aircraft
radio has been overturned by
the Georgia Supreme Court. Dr.
Marvin Marchman, whose
office is on the Buford highway
in Norcross, never served a day
of his one-year felony sentence
and will not be tried again.
District Atty. Ben Miller said
the high court ruled four to
three in the doctor’s favor.
Marchman first was tried in
1972 for the theft of an expensive
radio from the Griffin airport. A
jury found him guilty and he
was sentenced to one year in
prison on the felony charge. He
appealed the conviction and
was granted a new trial by the
Georgia Court of Appeals.
In 1973 a second Spalding jury
also found him guilty and Judge
Andrew Whalen, Jr., again
sentenced him to one year in

prison.
He immediately was released
under an appeal bond and the
case was taken the second time
to the Georgia Court of Appeals
which affirmed the second
conviction.
The doctor then carried the
case to the supreme court which
overturned the conviction and
ruled Marchman was placed in
double jeopardy by the second
trial.
Mr. Miller said he did not
understand the rationale used in
arriving at the supreme court’s
decision. One justice’s opinion
said the decision would bring
criticism on the court, he said.
The doctor “walked out free
on a very thin technicality,”
Miller said.
In Georgia the conviction of a
medical doctor on a felony
charge could mean the loss of
his license to practice medicine.

barges ferrying refugees to the
Pioneer Contender and a sister
ship, the Pioneer Commander.
The Communists warned that
no ships or planes could enter
the area without their permis
sion.
The marines fired at the
helicopter of David Kennedy,
President Ford’s personal
photographer, when he tried to
take pictures of a South
Vietnamese navy ship also
commandeered by the rebelli
ous troops.
With half of South Vietnam in
Communist hands the U.S.
Embassy flew 10 of its families
out of Saigon to the greater
safety of Bangkok but said
there was no order to evacuate
the embassy itself. A spokes
man said “a few, a very few”
Americans left the city and
many more dependents were
remaining in Saigon.
Military and political pres
sure on President Nguyen Van
Thieu to resign grew and today
South Vietnam’s most powerful
Buddhist leader, Bonze Thich
Tri Quang, emerged from three
years of obscurity to demand
Thieu’s resignation. The Bud
dhist leader who helped over
throw President Ngo Dinh
Diem in November, 1963, led a
demonstration from An Quang
Pagoda under banners demand
ing that Thieu quit. The
demonstration was broken up
by police.
The evacuation ships were
taking thousands of refugees
from Da Nang to the former
American base of Cam Ranh
Bay, 20 miles south of Nha
Trang. Nha Trang was swept
by panic and residents of the
refugee-swollen city began look
ing for ways out. U.S. officials
pruned the consulate staff to
essential personnel only.
With Da Nang in Communist
hands, the North Vietnamese
and Viet Cong turned their
attention to the big coastal city
of Qui Nhon, midway between
Da Nang and Nha Trang, and
its fall appeared imminent. Qui
Nhon was described as a ghost
city, its population long since
fled.
There were increasing re
ports of disorder among South
Vietnamese troops in the
panicky evacuation of Da Nang
and passengers aboard the
Pioneer Contender said a third
of the 8,000 persons aboard
were marines who had fought
their way onto the ship illegally
—the ships had been sent to

rescue civilians.
The Pioneer Contender left
Da Nang late ’ Sunday and
arrived at Cam Ranh Bay, 185
miles northeast of Saigon, early
today.
Civilians said the marines
beat refugees, stole money,
raped some girls and women
and killed those who protested.
Kennedy, who has been
Ford’s personal photographer
since the President took office,
is on a fact-finding mission for
Ford, along with Army Chief of
Staff Gen. Frederick C.
Weyand. He was fired on when
he flew over the Pioneer
Contender and the South
Vietnamese navy vessel.
Weyand conferred in Saigon
and briefly visited the Mekong
Delta today and was not in Nha
Trang to witness the shipboard
incidents.
Refugees said they could not
say how many persons aboard
the ship were murdered by the
marines, considered one of
South Vietnam’s best fighting
forces.
At Cam Ranh, military police
sealed off the port and tried to
quell the marines, but the
rebellious troops managed to
break out of the cordon and
began commandeering vehicles
to make their way into Nha
Trang. If drivers of the vehicles
refused, the marines blew out
the tires with gunfire.
U.S. Embassy officials in
Saigon said the Communists
Sunday night sent rocket
propelled grenade fire against
barges and smaller vessels
hauling refugees out to U.S.
charter ships offshore in the
South China Sea.
Three charter vessels —the
Pioneer Contender, Pioneer
Commander and Trans Colora
do —were out of range of the
grenade rounds but their
captains were forced to suspend
evacuation operations.
All three ships were sailing
southward today toward Cam
Ranh Bay with more than
20,000 refugees aboard,
embassy officials said.
The Communists triumphant
ly occupied Da Nanag, their
greatest trophy in 20 years of
Indochina war.
The fall of Da Nang left them
in control of 50 per cent of
South Vietnam’s land area and
fighting for another 25 per cent
after three weeks of renewed
fighting.
The next objective of the
advancing Viet Cong and North
Vietnamese troops appeared to
be coastal Qui Nhon, 250 miles
northeast of Saigon.
Military sources called Qui
Nhon a “ghost town” Sunday
but the government denied
published reports it had fallen
to the Communists.
The Viet Cong flag of blue
and red bars with a single
yellow star flew over buildings
in Da Nang, a major port and
the second largest city in South
Vietnam.
