An attorney for Gen. Fabian C. Ver, the former armed forces chief under ousted Philippine President Ferdinand E. Marcos, filed a motion with a Philippine Supreme Court commission asking that Marcos be permitted to return from his U.S. exile to give evidence at hearings into the 1983 murder of Marcos opponent Benigno S. Aquino Jr. Ver’s attorney said Marcos would refute allegations that he pressured legal authorities to acquit Ver and 25 others in connection with Aquino’s murder. President Corazon Aquino, the slain man’s widow, has refused to grant Marcos a passport to allow him to return home or to travel to a third country.
