(CP) — Sanity is the only issue in the first-degree murder trial of Bruce Blackman, 23, Mr. Justice Lloyd. McKenzie told a B.C. Supreme Court jury Wednesday. The bespectacled Port Coquitlam man is charged in the shooting and beating deaths of six members of his family last January. McKenzie told the jury that the only issue before them will be the sanity of the accused at the time of the killings. Blackman is charged with killing his mother, Irene, 49,. father Richard, 50, brother Rick, 16, sisters Karen Rhodes, 25, and Roberta Davies, 28, and brother-in-law John Davies, 39. Earlier, standing with his hands clasped in front of him, Blackman quietly answered “not guilty” as each charge was read to him. The defence has indicated it will argue, with the aid of expert witnesses, that Blackman isj* goj^ guilty by reason of insanity. The trial went into a voire dire', or trial within a trial, Wednesday afternoon to consider the admissibility of evidence. McKenzie later ruled that the evidence can be presented to the jury today. During the trial’s first day Wednesday, Blackman sat quietl$, in the prisoner’s dock, facing McKenzie staring either at the* judge, or at the floor. Because of a strike by members of the B.C. Government Employees’ Union, a justice of the peace is acting as the court re-‘ porter, and two members of the RCMP are replacing the sheriffs.

Government Employees Union picket lines. Unlike those who receive their cheques by mail every month, administered recipients — either those unable to manage a monthly cheque or those categorized as employable — pick up their payments at an Ministry of Human Resources office. They will have to line up along with everyone else seeking emergency assistance at the office opened at the Italian Cultural centre. Only about 150 of the nearly 850 people who lined up for hours Wednesday received help from the 20 management staff operating the centre. The rest were given numbers and told to come back today. Hundreds of those lined up pleaded for emergency aid as they filed past to pick up their numbers. Mothers with young children were given top priority. “I have a newborn baby at home and I don’t have any formula,” said one young mother who was later issued a food voucher. Another mother with a baby in her arms and a toddler by her side was also allowed to see a worker when she told officials she had run out of food. “We don’t want to see children going hungry,” said Terry Pyper, regional manager for the West End. Others were without places to stay. Pete Machmere, 33, prepared to camp out in his car for the third night in a row — out of food and gas and still in pain from a broken leg. “I’ve still got some pain killers for my leg but that’s the only thing I’ll have to eat between now and when they see me,” he said. “I haven’t eaten since yesterday,” one young man yelled at the management official handing out numbers. “What am I supposed to do?” “I’m sorry there’s nothing we can do,” §aid Pyper. “All of the checks are in the offices. “I’m sorry but you’ll just have to take a number and come back tomorrow.” A frantic young father said he and his four-year-old son would be evicted immediately unless he paid his rent. “Everybody is having a hard time,” said Pyper. “It wouldn’t be fair to let you in ahead of them.” Super Loto WINNING ▲ NUMBERS October 30,1933 $1 MILLION WINNING NUMBERS 2 8 5 3 5 4 1 1 1 9 6 5 1 8 1 9 7 6 7 1 1 2 8 2 8 0 0 4 If only the last six, five, (our, three or two digits on your ticket are identical to and in the same order as the winning numbers above, your ticket is eligible to win the corresponding prize. last 6 digits win $50,000 last 5 digits win $5,000 last 4 digits win $500 last 3 digits win $100 last 2 digits win $10 $100,000 WINNING NUMBERS There are no subsidiary prizes for these numbers Complete and exact numbers only. 1 0 8 B 9 4 4 8 6 1 A 3 0 2 5 7 5 A 1 5 7 1 8 0 A 0 9 4 1 4 5 A 8 8 0 major CASH prizes: Winners of maior prizes may claim their prize by following the claim procedure on the back of their ticket OTHER CASH PRIZES: Other cash prizes, up to and including $1,000 may be cashed at any branch of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in Western Canada, by any participating retailer, by any participating Lottery Ticket Centre, or by following the claim procedure on the back of the ticket In the event ol discrepancy between this list and the official winning numbers list, the latter shall prevail I WESTtRN CANAOV ‘ LorrtKY FOUNDATION 4 V\# • . t , ptnmr. ajjsgsggsb ROSSIGNOL “Espoir” Skis Reg *200 Bindings, Geze GC.30..............Reg. *115 If other lenders are giving you the run-around, come straight to us.

Ste 200-299 Victoria St. in the Permanent Tower Canada 77“-7T- 800 RECIPIENTS the weather - Protection of sources supported . VANCOUVER(CPI -A journalist cannot be fired for refusing to reveal a source, a B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled Wednesday. Mr. Justice Wilfred Wallace awarded Wendy Fitzgibbons six months back pay plus interest for wrongful dismissal by Westpres Ltd. of Winnipeg. Fitzgibbons was editor of the Powell River Town Crier in 1980 when she was fired for, among other things, according to the company, refusing to reveal the source of an article she had written. But Wallace ruled that unless stated otherwise in a journalist’s contract of employment, the industry norm of protecting sources shall prevail. “It clarifies the law,” said Leo McGrady, lawyer for Fitzgibbons. “If the employer wants to have a journalist disclose the source of information, that must be a term of the contract.” McGrady said he believed the ruling set an important precedent and would apply to any person in the media. Fitzgibbons now is a copy editor for The Province.
