20 The SUN, Flagstaff, Arizona, Sunday, October 23, 1977 mmyrn I f- 15-Week Don Bolles Trial Moving Toward Completion -f .1 I i rt 1 v- I I 0 Oh Rvd 'SfTi i Yv-i I f. vt ft. 4 Vs "I 1 3 iV 'Hi PHOENIX (AP) Highlighted by the testimony of a killer, a swindler and an alumnium-can scavenger, the 15-week trial of two men charged with the bomb slaying of reporter Don Bolles moved close to completion this week. Phoenix contractor Max Dunlap has testified in his own defense, calling the states key witness, John Harvey Adamson, 'a damn liar. Co-defendant James Robison may testify Monday as his own last witness.

Bolles died June 13, 1976, 11 days after a dynamite bomb exploded beneath his car as he backed from a parking space at a Phoenix hotel. The defendants were charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy last January after Adamson admitted he planted the bomb. Adamson, 33, who pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, testified that Robison detonated the bomb with a small radio transmitter. The confessed murderer claimed Dunlap hired him to kill Bolles, Arizona Atty, Gen. Bruce Babbitt and a former advertising man at the request of Kemper Marley a millionaire Phoenix liquor wholesaler.

All three, Adamson claimed, had angered Marley. Marley took the stand voluntarily during Dunlaps defense to deny any involvement. Adamson testified for eight days, describing a trip he took to San Diego with girlfriend Gail Owens to buy the radiocontrol unit. Adamson said he called Robison, 55, from San Diego before buying the device, but telephone receipts showed Adamson did not call Robisons home or office until the day after he bought the unit. Convicted land swindler Howard Woodall testified that Robison revealed his alleged murder role while Woodall and Robison were in the Maricopa County jail last summer.

Woodall claimed he received a transcript of Adamsons police statements, which he only glanced at, from Robison when they met in the visitors room. Convicted dope dealer Harold Hamilton, Woodalls cellmate at the Phoenix jail, testified he saw Robison pass the document to Woodall from Robisons iso-1 lation cell. Hamilton said Woodall returned to the cell with the document that night, read it and made notes.

The organization sold doughnuts to raise money for purchasing materials and the Industrial arts department at the school built the table.

On hand for the table dedication are (from left) Tara Sidles, secretary of the Honor Society, Naty DiMiguel, sponsor for the organization, Homer Townsend, principal at FJHS, Jim David, director of the pond project and Alan Coffelt, president of the Honor Society. The pond was recently approved for Inclusion into the state registry. (SUNfoto) While both groups tended to rank the same dimensions as most important, the Strip patrons put more emphasis on gourmet foods, luxurious rooms and dressed-up customers, while the downtown group put more importance on friendly clientele, a variety of table games and machines, and low restaurant and entertainment prices. Dandurand said the study tends to agree with earlier studies that the downtown area appeal to the lower socio-economic customer, while the Strip hotels cater to the higher socio-economic customer. LAS VEGAS (AP) Las Vegas visitors put courteous service at the top of their wants list, according to a study by a University of Nevada-Las Vegas faculty member.

Tourists ranked courteous employes as the most important characteristic of a hotel-casino, according to the study done by Dr. Lawrence Dandurand, an associate professor of marketing at UNLV, while the least important dimension list was being able to gamble while dining. Titled Dimensions of a Casino Gambling Market, Dandurand study ranks 32 dimensions of the Las Vegas image in order of importance to the 73 visitors questioned. Following courteous employes, the visitors feel a friendly clientele is the next most important dimension, followed by good odds, well-lit parking lots and a good variety of table games and machines. The least important dimensions are being able to gamble while dining, valet parking, glittering neon signs, high limits and dressed-up customers.

The study included samples from visitors staying at "Strip hotels and those in downtown Las Vegas. ro These studies indicate that the lower social class visitor wants to be treated with respect he does not want to feel out of place and desires comfortable surroundings, said Dandurand. He said wealthier visitors also look for courteous employes and friendly clientele, but tend to place relatively less emphasis on those dimensions of their visit. WASHINGTON (AP) -Doctors specializing in weight control say the unsupervised use of liquid protein in a crash diet is dangerous and may even cause death. The doctors, meeting at a conference on obesity, said Friday there have been reports of deaths involving persons engaged in so-called starvation diets using liquid protein as a supplement.

Unsupervised use of liquid protein without proper supplements such as potassium is dangerous and potentially life-threatening, said Dr. Saul M. Genuth of Mount Sinai Hospital in Cleveland. A spokeswoman for the Food and Drug Administration said the agency has recieved one report of a death involving starvation diets and has heard informally of possibly several others. We dont think anyone would die as a direct cause of taking liquid protein, but the diet is essentaily a starvation diet.

So any deaths would be like what comis from starvation, the FDA spokeswoman said. Public Notice Legal No. 8080 NOTICE OF CALL FOR BIDS NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that sealed proposals be mailed vendors.

(AP) Roy Sullivan, bless his beleaguered heart, is as gentle and upright as a person can be. He pays his bills, loves his family, goes to church, has never harmed a soul. Why is it, then, that Roy Sullivan has been struck by lightning seven times? Seven times.

Zap. Zap. Zap. Zap. Zap.

Zap. Zap. Lordy, I wish I knew, he said. Its awful. I dont believe God is after me.

If he was, the first bolt would have been enough. I dont believe that business about when youre born, either. Other folks born on Feb. 7, 1912, havent been struck by lightning seven times. Best I can figure is that I have some chemical, some mineral, in my body that draws lightning.

I just wish I knew. Roy Sullivan spent his working life as a ranger in the Shenandoah National Park, as beautiful and benevolent a piece of geography as exists in the land, and was hit six of the seven times in the park. He retired last year and had to move off the park, so he bought himself a house trailer and a piece of land nearby (though he might have, for heavens sake, picked some other town) and now is busy duplicating the airangement he had at his former home. He is constructing four lightning rods, one at each corner of the trailer. He is attaching rods to every tall tree on the place, in this case six.

He has put a rod on his electric-meter pole and another on his TV antenna. Twelve lightning rods in all, and all, as he explained hopefully, made of number six heavy duty pure copper wire sunk seven feet in the ground and the ground kept wet. By Zeus, that ought to do it. Well, you dont know. Lightning has a way of finding me.

When a storm blows up I put my wife and three kids in the living room and go off by myself and sit in the kitchen, scared. Roy Sullivans shocking statistics: Jolt number one came in 1942 in a lookout tower; number two in 1969 while driving his truck; number three in 1970 in his front yard; number four in 1972 inside a ranger station when the bolt searched him out through the fuse box; number five in 1973 when he thought he had outrun a storm and got out of his car to watch it; number six last year while checking a campground; number seven last July, fishing. I wasnt right in the storm all those times. Once I was a good 10 miles away. But if there is a single dark cloud in the sky, out will come a bolt and get me.

Roys misadventures have knocked him unconscious, burned off his hair, torn off his shoe, damaged his hearing, ripped off a toenail, hurled him in the air, and left him with a drawer full of woeful relics such as a melted pocket watch and a wardrobe of hats and shirts and underwear with brown-edged holes. Ever been shocked real bad? Its worse. Ever been scalded? Its much worse. Its like being cooked inside your skin. Just before it strikes I smell a certain smell, like sulphur, and my hair bristles all over.

Thats the signal. In about two seconds, no longer than three, it hits. Too late to hide. Naturally, people avoid me. I was walking with the chief ranger one day and lightning struck way off and he said, Ill see you later, Roy.

Theres a restaurant up on Loft Mountain that even if its just overcast they wont let me in. I cant blame them. Who wants to be near somebody thats all the time getting hit by lightning? Tell you something else. The fourth time I was struck I dreamed in March that I would be struck in April. It happened April 16.

1 have a feeling Im going to be struck again someday. I guess Im just somebody who gets struck by lightning. Why would that be?" It does beat all. But good luck to you, Roy Sullivan, and pleasant dreams. REQUEST FOR BIDS Flagstaff Community Hospital is receiving bids for snow removal.
