Finan said yesterday that he ‘still believes that Mrs, Madalyn M urray, Baltimore athiest, _y“wasn't worth extraditing” . from Hawaii to face Maryland ‘charges of assault, but that he ; is studying new developments ‘yin the case and has not yet :made up his mind what he will _trecommend to the governor. _{ “The governor and I will be -guided by what the State's At- jtoriey of Baltimore City , (William J.
