- EXONERATED. William Barry, 64, former bodyguard of Senator
- Robert Kennedy; on charges that he misled Palm Beach police when
- they investigated Patricia Bowman's claim that she had been
- raped by William Kennedy Smith; in West Palm Beach, Fla. Police
- said Barry, who was visiting the Kennedy estate on the weekend
- when Bowman said Smith attacked her, deceived investigators
- when they came to the estate on March 31. Barry told police
- that none of the Kennedys were at the mansion, when in fact
- Senator Edward Kennedy, his son and Smith were there. Smith's
- prosecutor charged that Barry was part of a cover-up, but a
- grand jury found insufficient evidence to bring an
- obstruction-of-justice charge against Barry. Smith was acquitted
- of rape on Dec. 11.
