Fate Of Claudine Longet In Hands Of Jurors

Unwilling To Hughes Will'

Claim One Is Phony

By BILL GARDNER Asaoclated Preai Writer

LOS ANGELES (AP; - A Howard Hughes attorney says he's unwilling to label as phony a Hughes will that would make a multtfnllllonalre of former gas statfm manager Melvin Dummar. even though he says Dummar admitted being the mystery man who delivered it.

Harold Rhoden, attorney for the will's executor, former Hughes aide Noah Dietrich, said Dummar stilt hasn't told how he obtained the will, but has agreed to testify in a Las Veps, Nev., court, where it was filed for probate.

"I want to bring him to the witness stand, where he knows that if he lies it will mean time in prison.” Rhoden said Thursday. ‘it's no crime to lie to the press or to your lawyers."

Rhoden told reporters that at a lengthy “grilling session" in Ogden, Utah, on Wednesday, Dummar admitted bringing the will to the Salt Lake City headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon.)

Claims for the document's authenticity had been generally discounted after reports that the FBI found Dummar’s fingerprint on ir. ■

Dummar. at that time, denied the report and suggested the print was planted. But Rhoden said Dummar admitted to him that his fingerprints would probably be all over the will because he had steamed «^n the envelope to look inside.

Dummar, however, denied writing the will or knowing who

did. Rhodm said.

The former service station operator was unavailable for comment, but his attorney. George Handy, said:

"Mr. Dummar, out of all the grilling we put him through, and it was very harsh and unkind. denies that he wrote the will, had anything to do with the writing of the will and does not know who wrote the will.” Rhoden said Dummar gave him several conflicting stories as to how he got the will, and he added; “1 didn't believe him and told him so. He’s not ready to tell the truth about how he got It.”

Rhoden said that before de

ciding whether he thinks the will is fraudulent or not. he wants to see the final FBI report <m it.

“What If they find fingerprints of Howard Hughes on the will?” he asked, adding that the same four handwriting experts who told him Dummar wrote on the envelope also said Hughes wrote the will.

Uummar ran a service station when the will turned up giving him one-sixteenth of the billionaire's estate. He said he had once given Hughes a ride when he found him wandering along a Nevada desert road at ni^t.

By BILL PARDUE Associated Press Writer ASPEN. Colo. (AP) - It took a week to find 12 citizens of this swinging ski town who didn’t already think she was guilty.

the average diet in the United States since the beginning of the century “may be as profoundly damaging to the nation's health as the widespread contagious diseases of the early part of this century.”

“The over-consumption of fat, generally, and saturated fat in particular, as well as cholesterol, sugar, salt and alcohol have been related to six of the ten leading causes of death: heart disease, cancer, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, arteriosclerosis and cirrhosis of the liver,” it said.

Over-consumption in general is a major problem but undernourishment due to dietary patterns may also lead to malnutrition, the report prepared by the committee staff said.

In its suggestions to consumers, the report recommended increasing consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, poultry and fish. It recommended decreasing consumption of meat, foods high in fat, eggs and other high cholesterol sources, sugar and salt.

It blamed the changes in diet on higher incomes that allowed movement away from diets hi0i in greens, - beans and

a short court recess. Ador Jack Nicholson, who said he “just wanted to see the trial," sat in on the day's proceedings.

Defense and prosecution spent almost four hours in the judge's chambers debating instructions for the jury in its deliberations.

"This is a case involving some difficult concepts of negligence. recklessness,” defense attorney Charles V. Weedman said.

Earlier, the prosecution cross-examined Sabich's best friend In an effort to prove that Miss Longet. 35. "likes to take chances.”

James Lillstrom, an advertising executive from Boulder, said the affair between Sabich and Miss Longet began in 1972 after a glass-tossing incident in a bar.

Prosecutor Ashley Anderson had said when the jury was out: "The way Miss Longet got Spider's attention was she threw a glass and hit him in the chest, and he turned and said, ‘I guess she wants to talk to me.”'

But Lillstrom indicated Anderson’s version was wrong. “We heard Spider's name called out very loudly.” he testified. “We both turned to look.

and she (Miss Longet) tossed the glass at him.

"He had plenty of time to get out of the way. I think for dramatic effect he let it hit him.”

Also testifying was a firearms expert for the defense. Lama Martin, iriio works with a private laboratory in Maryland. said the pistol that kUled Sabich was fired from a range of two to three feet.

A prosecution ballistics expert has estimated the firing range from four to six feel. The distance is important because Miss Longet says the gun discharged while she was standing close to Sabich as he tau^t her to handle the semiautomatic pistol.

Both sides agreed the gun's safely mechanism was inoperable.

Martin also told jurors the pistol's Internal parts may have been damaged by a gummy layer of oil that could have allowed It to fire without the trigger being pulled. But he ad mitted under cross-examination that the only way he could get the pistol to fire in testing was to pull the trigger.

Miss Longet could spend up to 10 years in the Colorado state prison and pay a $30,000 fine if she is convicted.
