Arthur Nicholson was taking photo­ graphs of Soviet military equip­ ment in what had been a Soviet restricted area in East Germany before he was killed by a Soviet sentry, administration officials ac­ knowledged today. ' ; The senior State Department and ;Defense Department officials reiterated, however, there was no justification for the shooting of Nicholson near the East German town of Ludwigslust, 100 miles northwest of Berlin, Sunday. The officials, speaking to re­ porters on the condition they not be Identified, said Nicholson was outside a Soviet military building taking photographs of military equipment through a window. The building had been designat­ ed as a, restricted area by the Soviet military, but that restriction was lifted Feb. 20, they said, and Nicholson and his companion, Sgt. Jessie Schatz, had a right to take photographs of what was inside the building. The offrcials denied the Ameri­ cans were “ spying.” “ Yes, thei'e is a certain catand-mouse connotation or quality to their operations, but in no way are they considered spies. They are accredited personnel and delib­ erate violence against them is against the rules,” said one senior official. The United States and Soviet Union had offered differing ac­ counts of what occurred Sunday to the two American members of the military liaison mission at Pots­ dam, East Germany. They agreed Nicholson was shot and killed by a Soviet sentry and that Schatz was apprehended.

New grand jury indicts Goetz Somewhere the sun is shining. . . NEW YORK (U P I) - Subway gunman Bernhard Goetz, cleared by one grand jury of attempted murder, was indicted today by a new panel for attempted murder and assault for shooting four teen­ agers on a subway train. The indictment came the day after Goetz balked at testifying before the panel about the Dec. 22 shooting. Goetz had insisted he wanted to tell the grand jury his version of the shooting, but refused to waive immunity from prosecu­ tion on other charges. Goetz said he refused to testify because Manhattan District Attor­ ney Robert Morgenthau asked hinri to waive immunity from prosejcution before he testified — and he did not want to face the possibility he would be asked to identil^ friends to whom he sold guns for personal protection.

By a 6-3 vote, the court struck down a portion of a Tennessee law that allowed police to “ shoot to kill” if necessary to prevent a suspect from escaping. About half of the states have statutes similar to Tennessee’s. In the ruling, the court said the Tennessee law is unconstitutional insofar as it authorized deadly force against apparently unarmed, non-dangerous fleeing suspects. “ Where the suspect poses no immediate threat to the officer and no threat to others, the harm resulting from failing to apprehend him does not justify the use of deadly force to do so,” wrote Justice Byron White in his opinion for the court. However, the ruling does not prevent police from using deadly force when there is “ probable cause” to believe the suspect is dangerous. White said the Tennes­ see law is constitutional only in authorizing police to shoot to kill “ if the suspect tlfreatens the offi­ cer with a weapon or there is jrobable cause to believe that he las committed a crime involving the infliction or threatened inflict­ ion of serious physical harm.” In such cases. White continued, deadly force is permissible to prevent escape “ if, where feasible, some warning has been given.” In King County there was praise and condemnation of the decision. “ My initial reaction is very negative,” said Bill Conn, presi­ dent of the Seattle Police Officer’s was revealed, Swedish Hospital officials said.
