Though Morris Udall remained a candidate−officially, not actively−he told his delegates they may do as they wish. That left only Jerry Brown, with his strange and seemingly doomed guerrilla action. He continued to court delegates, and plans a half-hour network television appearance this week...

In a crowded courtroom in Turin, where 23 members of the organization were already on trial for kidnapings and urban guerrilla attacks, one defendant named Prospero Gallinari suddenly stood up. Ignoring the judge's admonishments, Gallinari read from a statement held in his manacled hands: "Yesterday an armed nucleus of the Red Brigades executed the state hangman Francesco Coco and two mercenaries who were supposed to protect him."
