W — A former ' Belleville union agent was fined i, 81,500 and placed on probation for five years on an attempted extortion charge in Federal Court here late Wednesday. He was William Adrian. 56, former business agent for Local 101 i of the Pipefitters Union at Belleville. Federal Judge Casper Platt ; imposed the sentence after Adrian withdrew a plea of innocent to a three count indictment, and pleaded guilty to the attempted extortion charge. The count to which Adrian pleaded guilty charged him with attempted extortion of contractors at Scott Air Force Base near Belleville in 1951. Two other counts, whigh charge<t.4Adrian with extorting about $5,000 for the contractors, were dismissed. _ A federal grand jury indicted Adrian on the extortion charges in 1954. About a year ago Adrian was fined $2,000 and ordered to resign as an officer of his union after he pleaded guilty to a perjury indictment. He was charged with perjuring himself before a grand jury when he testified he did not enter an agreement to split savings with a ■ contractor on estimated 1 a b o r I costs. New Reprieve Given To Mad Dog Killer Stay Os Execution Granted By Justice MICHIGAN CITY. Ind. (UP>— ‘‘Mad dog” killer Leslie Irvin. 33, Evansville, celebrated his third reprieve today from a date with the electric chair in Indiana State Prison. Prison spokesmen said Irvin learned unofficially in his death row cell that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Harold H.‘ Burton had granted a stay of execution Wednesday, postponing his electrocution from March 29. Irvin was sentenced to death for the gun slaying of Wesley Kerr, an Evansville filling station operator, in December, 1954. Kerr’s murder was one of six ‘‘Chinese execution style” slayings in Indiana and Kentucky in a four-month period which authorities blamed on Irvin. Burton gave Irvin a reprieve toenable his attorneys to appeal to the nation’s highest court a ruling of the Indiana Supreme Court upholding the death sentence imposed by a jury in Gibson Circuit Court in December, 1955. ‘ Irvin’s attorneys claimed an illegal confession was used against him in his Princeton trial and that he was denied a speedy arraignment after his arrest in Evansville. The stay came two days after defense attorney Theodore Lockyear. Jr.. Evansville, mailed the high court a request for time to appeal. Irvin’s first electrocution date was set for June 12, 1956. But he was given two stays while his case was appealed. On Feb. 5, the Indiana Supreme Court turned down the appeal and only a few days ago the court refused to reconsider its action, thereby putting Irvinls last hope in the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court and Governor Handley, who could commute his sentence to life imprisonment by executive action.

Syria Rejects U.S. Oil Refinery Bid Czech Bid Favored Over American Firm WASHINGTON (UP)— Syria has rejected a bid frojn an American firm to build an oil refinery in Syria in favor of an offer from Communist Czechoslovakia. informed sources said today. The decision went agai ns 11 strong advice from the United I States government. However, American officials j were not too surprised Syria paid j little heed to U.S. advice. In re- i cent years Syria has been doing an increasing volume of business , with Soviet-bloc nations. Syria, which ig now dependent ■ on neighboring lebanon for its re- ' fined petroleum products, called | last fall for bids on construction of a refinery in Syria. Several American firms were interested as well as outfits in < Britain, France and Czechoslovakia. , Procon. Inc., a Mew York construction firm, was apparently the most interested of the American companies. The firm was reported to have spent between $50,000 and $60,000 on planning in connection with submitting a bid. . Last Saturday, Syria awarded the contract to Czechoslovakia. U.S. officials said Syria claimed it chose Czechoslovakia over the American firm because it could get more for its money. American authorities think political reasons actually were the principal factor. Czechoslovakia is reported «to have agreed, to build the refinery for about $15.4 million. Terms of repayment are not known here but are reported “favorable.” The oil to be run through the refinery comes from Saudi Arabia and Iraq in three pipelines which run across Syrian territory. Syria Is entitled to a share of the oil shipped through these lines. The Syrian refinery is designed chiefly to produce oil for Syrian domestic use. However officialssaid some refined products may be left over for export — presumably to the Soviet bloc. Denies Sinatra Aided In Raid Private Detective Pledges Statement HOLLYWOOD (IP)' — A private detective promised to produce statements today which would discredit testimony that crooner Frank Sinatra took part in the “wrong door” raid on Marilyn Monroe. Fred Otash, detective recently ~ hired by Sinatra* said he was pre- , pared to show the statements by “three secret witnesses” to the county grand jury which is investigating whether Sinatrd or others . committed perjury or were guilty of invasion of privacy. Sinatra recently told a state Sen- ■ ate committee that he waited in a car while Joe DiMaggio and detec-! tives broke down an apartment i door to gather divorce evidence I against Miss Monroe Nov. 5, 1954, j less than two weeks before . she ' divorced the baseball star. Private investigator Philip Irwin told the ' same committee that Sinatra participated in the raid. Miss Monroe's girl friend. Mrs. Sheila Stewart Renour, told the i grand jury Wednesday that the i film star was visiting her West Los Angeles apartment when raiders kicked in the door of a downstairs apartment occupied by Mrs. ’ Florence Kotz Ross in the mistaken belief that the actress was. inside.
