Another defense attorney asked Barko if he thought troopers acted with discretion in using tear gas. Barko replied that “in the interests of public safety” his answer would be yes. The four FBI agents were put on the stand by Asst. U.S. Atty. Gen. John Doar to identify pictures of Sunday’s march and give their version of the demonstration which was broken up with clubs and tear gas.

Reginald A. Tinsley, 17, student at an ungraded schoolv^ was free on $3,000 bond following his arraignment oh two charges involving two of the nine stobbings. Examination on the charge of askanlt to commit murder and assault with intent to do great bodily harm to James Lucas, 16, and John Kozak, 22, was let for March 22. Tinsley was accused of stabbing Lucas in the heart and Komk in the back. Lucas, the more seriously wounded, was still reported in/ critical condition at a local hospital. Tinsley said he stabbed two persons, report^ly Lucas and Kozak, because he got angry following the game. He said someone knicked him in the finger at the game. UP TO LIFE If convicted on the greater charge, Tinsley could get a prison sentence of up to life. Olsen said, “Following a longstanding policy in this type of case, I have ifistructed chief trial lawyer John W. Coury not to accept any reduced plea without my consent. We trust that no,one along toe line will fit to give this young tough a break.” Police said three other youths have definitely been imj|)licated in the six other stabbings following the basketball game.
