SAN FRANCISCO — Former Navy radio man Jerry Whitworth, the last remaining defendant in the John Walker spy ring case, pleaded innocent today to new charges of selling military code secrets to the Soviet Union for $332,000.
Whitworth, 46, of Davis, was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury that reportedly heard testimony last week from Walker, a confessed spy and leader of an organization that sold secret information to the Soviet Union. Whitworth’s trial is scheduled Jan. 13. He is being held without bail.
