U.S Appeals Court Upholds Conviction of Ex-C.I.A. Agent
By The Associated Press
A Federal appeals court yesterday affirmed the conviction of a former Central Intelligence Agency member, Edwin P. Wilson, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison for trying to kill two prosecutors and six witnesses against him.
Mr. Wilson had contended that Federal District Judge Edward Weinfeld had improperly prevented him from testifying at his trial about his activities in certain ''classified intelligence and counterintelligence activities.''
In upholding Judge Weinfeld, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, in New York City, said it had found ''no merit in this contention.''
