Holiday Violence Takes Many Lives Murder, Accidental Deaths Over Notion , United Press International Greed, drunkenness, lust and pride—together with other motives is varied as the true Christmas Spirit is singular—today occupied police and families following a wave of holiday violence. Murder and accidental death came as suddenly and tragically as at any time of yer, but in some cases the fatal mechanism seemed to be tripped by seasonal anticipation and fatigue. Most pathetic were those instances in which children were involved. A Chicago hither wept as he told of accidentally shooting and killing his infant son Christmas Eve while practicing fast draws withi a loaded gun in the family living room. Dead was 14-month-old Wyatt Earp Bender, whose cowboy-loving father named him after the legendary western hero. The father, Jack, 29, allegedly had been drinking before shooting Wyatt Earp. In San Francisco, 5-week-old Mark William Netherby died i when his father William, 22, over his wife Rita's protests, muffled . the boy’s sobs with a pillow, the . mother told police. The infant was dead when she went to pick him up this morning. In Mobile, Ala., expectant mother Mrs. Troy Bolt, 34, api>arently made light of a giant carton her intoxicated husband brought home on Christmas Eve, police reported. A subsequent quarrel resulted in death by gunshot wound, said authorities. They held her husband in connection with Mrs. Bolt’s shooting and also the death of their 3-week premature infant, delivered by caesarian section following the shooting. Police at Spartanburg, S.C., reported that Jimmy Lee Jones, about 38, hacked his wife and mother-in-law to death with an axe to climax a pre-dawn argument Christmas Day. Victims were identified as Helen Jones, 35, and her mother, Mrs. Minnie Rice. All three had been drinking, authorities said. An apparent murder - suicide left a 6-year-old girl homeless in Glendora, Calif. Police said her stepfather of four months, John Moll, 62, apparently shot her mother, Mary, 39, early Christmas Eve. The girl discovered the bodies on Christmas morning. Apparently trivial issues were at stake in two murders: —A quarrel over Christmas dinner in Paramus, N.J., climaxed when Mrs. Therese Olinsky, 31, plunged a 10-inch blade carving knife into her husband, Edward. 32, police said. Investigators revealed the couple had been drinking before the argument began. —A dollar debt started a Washington, Wis., fight which ended in the death of Adam Ahneman, 80, the sheriff’s office said. Preliminary investigation, officers reported, showed Lauren Severson, 28, and a friend, Bernard Moe, 40, were visiting the elderly bachelor when Moe claimed Severson owed him a dollar. When Ahriisman tried to call police to stop the fight, said investigators, Severson struck Ahneman twice on the head, killing him. When you nave accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake. — Victor Hugo.

Priestly Visit By ( Pope To Prisoners Carries Spirit Os Christmas To Jail VATICAN CITY (UPI) — Pope John XXIU carried the spirit of Christmas into Rome’s biggest jail today during a simple priestly visit that brought tears to the eyes of even hardened criminals. “We must carry out all the deeds of mercy,” he said, “and assisting prisoners is one of them.” Hie Pope’s voice betrayed a solemn emotion as he sat upon a make-shift throne in the rotunda of the prison and looked around at the hundreds of hands clasping the bars of cells surrounding him. He could see three tiers of cells in the bleak Regina Coeli (Queen ’ of Heaven! jail on the banks of ’ the Tiber River. His words echoed through the massive building of ’ steel and stone. '• "I want to bring you the good ’ philosophy.” he said. 1 “Your life is ugly incense, be- ‘ cause you have lost all taste for life. “Rest assured that this visit ' will remain deeply impressed in ! my soul. It is good that the new • year, or let us call it the first ’ year of our pontificate, be marked t by a deed of mercy. "My prayer to you is that your firgt letter home now gives thfe 1 news that the Pope came among > you and that the Pope promised • that in his rosary he will remem- ■ ber each one of you, for each ! one's special intentions, mothers, i sisters...” His words were drowned out by > the cheers of the prisoners, who - broke out into a traditional Italian . Christmas song, which begins “You descend from the stars...” The Pontiff, who visited the sick in two hospitals, Christmas Day, imparted the apostolic blessing to the 1,300 inmates of the jail. AU but 200 are awaiting trial x rather than serving sentences. * The visit revived a custom of Pope Pius IX, who visited the prisoners every Christmas during “ his pontificate from 1846 to 1878. ’ Later today Pope John received 1 the Vactican diplomatic corps to ’ accept their credentials accredit- " ing them to his new pontificate.
