Page 2-Friday, May 15, 1981-The Michigan Daily 4 ST. PETER'S SQUARE is filled with mourners following the shooting of Pope John Paul II yesterday. Thousands flocked to Vatican City to pray for the pontiff, who was reported to be in good conditions. Po pe improves; police hint at conspiracy Today And justice for all They cite horses, don't they? Yes, they do in Denver. A Denver County Court Judge was startled to learn this week that a horse had been ordered to court by a police officer. The charge: urinating in public. Judge Edward Simons said Wednesday he knew something was up when he read the defen- dant's name: "Horse." "My initial reaction was the defendant was of Indian heritage," Simons said. "There are names like that." The ticket was signed by Denver policeman Robert Chaires. Simons, who said he thought the charge probably was a joke, dismissed the case, noting that only humans and corporations can be charged with an offense. "The defendant may.not have fully understood his obligation to appear in court," Simons noted on the back of the summons. D Meat judging has its rewards They're not eligible for the NFL or NBA drafts and they never show their prowess on Kyle Field, but members of one Texas A&M University inter- scholastic team have brought home the bacon. They won the 1980 national Meat Judging championship. "When we go to different parts of the country to compete, we sometimes tell people we are there to play softball or something," said Homer Recio, captain of the 1980 Aggies team. "They think we're crazy when we say 'meat judging' and ... stay i a cooler all day." With a large number of returning team members, the 1981 Aggie Meat Judging team expects to do as well in the competition that just began and ends next spring. The Aggies evaluate meat for USDA grades, quality as well as yield. Contests begin in the early morning hours inside a chilly meat locker and end in the afternoon with written evaluations. Today's weather Today's weather should be a repeat of yesterday's: Cloudy, more rain, and a high in the 60s. D Happenings ... FILMS Alt Act - Being There, 7:30 & 9:45 p.m., MLB 3.

One cardinal said the pontiff felt sympathy for his attacker and held no grudge. Mehmet Ali Agca, the escaped Turkish murderer and right-wing terrorist, was charged by Italian authorities yesterday with attempting to murder the Pope. ROME POLICE SAID the suspect at first refused to take anything except water in protest against his almost con- tinuous interrogation, but agreed to eat later yesterday afternoon. Italian authorities said the 23-year- old Agca, convicted in Turkey last year of murdering a Turkish newspaper editor, will be tried in Italy despite a request to extradite him to Turkey. Doctors said the pontiff, who turns 61 Monday, was still in serious condition but called this a "guarded" prognosis, meaning they would not commit them- selves firmly. , DR. FRANCESCO Crucitti, one of the pope's surgeons at the hospital, said the pontiff was making an "excellent" recovery. He said the pope was under mild sedation, receiving intravenous feeding, and that the main worry was infection over the next few days. "If we can control this one, we may be able to say we are out of the woods," he said. Achille Gallucci, federal Prosecutor for the Rome area, left open the possibility of a conspiracy by accusing "persons unknown" of the assassination attempt in St. Peter's Square Wednesday although police said Agca insists he acted alone. Interrogators at Rome's central police headquarters described Agca as a "stoic, a real quiet type." POLICE REPORTED A note found on Agca after he was arrested said, "I killed the pope so the world would know about the thousands of victims of im- perialism and of the Soviet Union in Palestine, in El Salvador and in the Third World." "My life doesn't have any more sen- se. Nothing matters to me, nothing," police quoted the suspect as telling them during questioning. Meanwhile, Ann Odre, 58, of Buffalo, N.Y., one of two women wounded in the attack by Agca, was reported in serious condition after the removal of her spleen.
