The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, February 10, 1981 -Page 5 Courtroom outburst Defendant slashes witness at murder trial ANOKA, Minn. (AP) - A murder defendant who jumped from his cour- troom seat and slashed the face of a Baptist missionary as she testified against him will be bound in chains when his trial resumes, authorities said yesterday. Court officials, meanwhile, sought to determine how Ming Sen Shiue, a 30- year-old electronics repairman, ob- tained the knife he used when he leaped from the defense table in Anoka District Court on Sunday and attacked Mary Stauffer, 37. JUDGE ROBERT Bakke refused to declare a mistrial yesterday and or- dered psychiatrists to examine Shiue. Stauffer, who required 68 stitches, was recovering from the cuts at her home in the St. Paul suburb of Arden Hills. Shiue is on trial in the abduction and death of 6-year-old Jason Wilkman of Roseville, a Minneapolis suburb. He was convicted in federal court in Sep- tember of kidnapping Stauffer and her daughter, 9, and holding them hostage in the basement of his home for 53 days. He was sentenced to life in prison. If it is determined Shiue is competent to assist in his own defense, the trial will resume at 10 a.m. today. If the psychiatrists cannot agree on the com- petency question, a hearing will be held to determine the next step in the trial. A continuance could be granted. STAUFFER WAS Shiue's ninth- grade algebra teacher and he apparen- tly was emotionally crushed by a poor grade she gave him. Shiue's lawyer said the man suffered from a delusional love obsession for Stauffer. At Sunday's court session, Shiue jumped from a seat next to his defense attorney and sprinted across the cour- troom. He grabbed Stauffer from behind and held a pocketknife to her chin as court officials sat stunned. Startled deputies pulled the stocky Shiue from Stauffer, but not before she was slashed across the face. THERE WERE NO deputics stationed in Shiue's path to the witness stand, despite the fact Shiue had lunged at Stauffer at his first trial and was restrained by deputies. Except for the two outbursts, Shiue has been a quiet defendant. Described as an electronics wizard, he has repaired electronics equipment in the courtroom on two occasions when it malfunctioned. The attack Sunday occured just 10 minutes after jurors had finished wat- ching three hours of videotapes Shiue had made during the seven weeks he held the Stauffers captive. The tapes were stopped just before they would have shown Shiue raping Stauffer for the first of many times during her captivity. Shiue taped about six hours of sexual contact with Stauf- fer, but those tapes will nt be shown to the jury. Anoka County Sgt. Darel Bombarger said Shiue was routinely searched Sun- day before being escorted from his cell to the courtroom. "I know he was searched because I saw them do it," said Bombarger, who is in charge of the jail. "He was patted down both times, when he went up in the morning and again in the afternoon. Where he happened to get his hands on the knife, who knows?" oin The Daily Texas students vaccinated for meningitis Hero 's welcome APPhoto Former hostage Donald Cooke, 25, is welcomed by Memphis, Tenn. residen- ts in a formal ceremony yesterday.

Airport employees said Dwyer boar- ded the plane before it took off. But later, Swiss officials reported she had been detained, missing the plane to Vienna, Austria. "We just want her to come home," said Dwyer's husband John,, who waited anxiously by the phone in his Amherst home along with children, Ben, 14, Daniel, 12, and Susie, 8. "WE DON'T KNOW now when she will be home," said Dwyer, an English professor at the State University College in Buffalo. We'll wait, he said. "We'll wait like we have been waiting." Dwyer went to Iran last April to write articles about the Iranian revolution. and was arrested May 5 in her Tehran hotel 10 days after the failed attempt by U.S. commandos to rescue the 53 Americans then held hostage in Iran. Dwyer was not included in the release ,of the hostages on Jan. 2. But last week the Swiss Foreign Office announced Dwyer had been tried at a one-day session of a Revolutionary Court on espionage charges. HOUSTON (AP) - Health officials vaccinated students, teachers, and staff members of a southside Houston elementary school yesterday, hoping to curtail an unprecedented meningitis outbreak that has killed 10 people and afflicted at least 53 others statewide. Dr. Robert MacLean, deputy city health director, said inability to pin- point the source of meningococcal meningitis prompted the decision to vaccinate the 765 pupils, faculty, and employees of Dodson Elementary School, where five pupils have been stricken by the disease and one has died. LAST WEEK, health investigators took more than 1,500 throat cultures and 150 blood samples from Dodson teachers, pupils, and their relatives in an, effort to determine the source of outbreak at the predominantly black school in a poor section of downtown Houston. Houston Independent School District officials yesterday also sent more than 400 letters to parents of Fondren Elementary School students, ex- plaining that a 5-year-old Fondren kin- dergarten pupil had contracted the deadly and contagious disease. However, MacLean said, no vac- cinations are planned at Fondren, located in southwest Houston. TEN TEXANS HAVE died and 53 others have been stricken with meningococcal meningitis since Jan. 1, according to Jan Simons of the Texas Health Department in Austin. She said the figure will rise as reports, delayed in the mail, are received from city and county health departments. In Houston, the nation's fifth-largest city, the disease has killed four people and afflicted at least 32 oth'ers, MacLean said. He said the victims range in age from one month to 80 years, with half under 15 years. Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes covering the spine and brain. The meningococcal form - the most serious - is caused by bacteria. Symptoms include colds, sore throats, muscle aches, fever and pink rash. The death rate is' 50 percent unless the disease is diagnosed and treated early. An 18-month-old girl from nearby Tomball, flown in by helicopter Sunday to Houston's Herman Hospital, remained in stable condition. Dr. Bruce Taylor, director of pediatric emergen- cy services, said the child is believed to have meningitis of another type.
