DEATH-MACHINE BUILDER FACES TRIAL OVER LICENSE

A judge refused Tuesday to dismiss the case against a Holocaust revisionist and execution-machine builder who prosecutors say has been practicing engineering without a license.

Fred Leuchter Jr., who has published articles claiming the number of people killed in the Holocaust has been exaggerated, will stand trial May 9, Malden District Judge J.W. Killam III said.

Leuchter builds electric chairs and other execution devices and serves as a capital-punishment consultant to some states.
