Robert C. Murphy said he will decide on banning smoking in all court-owned or leased space within the next few weeks. He said he is waiting for feedback from court officials statewide before signing his administrative order. The order would institute a standard smoking policy statewide. Currently, each subdivision has its own policy. Prince George's County bans smoking entirely, while Queen Annes County has no rule at all. Between those two extremes are policies ranging from allowing smoking only in a judge's chambers to limiting it to designated bathrooms. S=NEW STORY Suspects denied bail in bank murders Two men charged with shooting four Randallstown, Md., bank employees in execution-style killings that left two dead and two injured were not career criminals, lawyers said yesterday. Despite earlier criminal charges, one of the suspects is a college graduate and had recently opened a residential cleaning service, a defense lawyer said. Louis Hill III, 25, of Towson and Benjamin Franklin Boisseau Jr., 23, of Baltimore were charged with murder, attempted murder and armed robbery in the shootings. They were denied bail Tuesday and remain at the Baltimore County Detention Center. This article is copyright 1992 The Washington Times.
