U.S. Air Force Staff Sergeant Willis E. Boshears plants a reunion kiss on the cheek of his wife, Jane, at his Wethersfield, England, air base after being acquitted yesterday of murdering a 20-year-old British girl on New Year's Eve. Boshears claimed he killed the girl, Jean Constable, in his sleep after a heavy drinking party. His wife and three children were away on holiday at the time. A Chelmsford, England, jury found Boshears, 29, not guilty on the murder charge and he was instantly discharged. Boshears is from Michigamme, Mich.
