    2. John, here is one article: Woman Enters Guilty Plea In Jablonski Murder Case WASHINGTON, Pa. (AP) Annette Gilly, accused in the Yablonski family slayings, pleaded guilty today to three counts of murder and one count of conspiracy in exchange for a promise by the prosecution that it would not seek the death penalty. Mrs. Gilly, 31, of Cleveland, previously had pleaded innocent to the charges stemming from the murders more than two years ago of United Mine Workers insurgent Joseph "Jock" Yablonski and his wife and daughter. There were news reports last week that Mrs. Gilly was expected to plead guilty and turn state's evidence against her father, Silous Huddleston, 65, a retired coal miner and former UMW official from LaFollette. Tenn., who is scheduled to go on trial in the killings next week. Sources close to the case said Mrs. Gilly discussed the slayings in detail while in Philadelphia recently, and signed a statement implicating two other persons in the crime. A federal grand jury in Pittsburgh is expected to hear pleas for an indictment against at least one of those persons later this week, sources said. Mrs. Gilly is one of five persons in custody in the slayings so far. Besides her husband and father, the others include Aubran W. "Buddy" Marin, 23, convicted and sentenced to death last fall; and Claude E. Vealey, 28, who pleaded guilty and turned state's evidence last summer. It was largely on the basis of Vealey's testimony that Martin and Gilly were convicted. Gilly was tried, found guilty and sentenced to the electric chair earlier this year.
