She said Bill was not in any shape for her w leave and she had a " big lawsuit coming up". She related that Fleming told her he had tasted the poison and that it was sweet. He told her to put it in Middleswart•s milk. "That's what I dooe with it" , she stated. Mrs. Proffitt said she got the ant poison in May and administered some to her husband the first part of June. He was hospitalized the second week of June. "John (Fleming) knew I had done it. I called him from the hospital and told him Bill was admitted and that I had given him some of the poison", Mrs. Proffitt testified. She was with Middleswart at the hospital most of the time but she saw Fleming the following weekend and she said she and Fleming made plans to the effect that they would both deny everything if anyone detected that Middleswart had been given poison. Mrs. Proffitt remarked that when her husband was released from the hospital, they had another fight. She told F1eming about it and said that he advised her: "If he i$ going to act that way, give him some more poison.'

During this time, she said she talked to Fleming who asked lf she had given Middleswart the poison and she replied in the affirmative. She told of her husband being moved from Veterans Memorial Hospital to the Veterans Administration Hospital in Cincinnati and of his dying about one-hour after he arrived at the Cincinnati institution. When advised that Middleswart had died, Mrs. Proffitt stated she "cried" until Pe!Uly (her daughter ) arrived at the Cincinnati hospital a short time later. While the corpse of Middleswartlay at the funeral home in Pomeroy, Mrs, Proffitt said that Fleming cam_e and she told him it would be best if he stayed away so that people "Wouldn't suspect."

He was talking about the Hall of Fame ballotrng and about Mathews at Wednesday's prem1er showmg of the !977 World Senes film, when someone asked him whether he felt the former Milwaukee third baseman should be voted in " Absolutely," Rosen answered. "There never has been a third baseman With better qualifications for the Hall of Fame than Mathews." "What about Pie Traynor•" one of his listeners questiOned, remJnding him about Pittsburgh's late great all-around third baseman already in the Hall of Fame. "And are you forgetting Brooks Robinson? " "I never had the privilege of seeing Traynor play," replied Rosen "I'm a good fnend of Brooks Robinson and marveled over the way he played, bot I still say there's never been a thll'd.baseman with better credentials than Mathews. "Remember, he hit more than 500 home runs and made thmgs a little easter for others like Hank Aaron and Joe Adcock JUS! by bemg in the lineup. I played agaJnS! hun in AllStar games and during spring trainrng and they can say anythmg they want about his fielding, but all I know is he always made the plays. Nobody can ever crillc1ze his faelding to me. " Certainly, nobody can downgrade Mathews' hitting. He was only 20 when he became the Braves' regular third baseman and in hiS second season With them, he hit 47 homers to lead the National League and drove in 135 runs while batting 302. Only 11 men In major league history ever hit 500 home runs, and Mathews, watb 512, was one of them. Six of the others, Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, Ted Williams, Erme Banks, Mel ott and Mickey Mantle, already are 10 the Hall of Fame and of the remaining five, four aren't eligible yet because they haven't been inactive fiVe years. Five times Mathews has been on the ballot and the closest he ever came to hemg elected to the hall was last year when he finished second to Banks, falling 49 votes shy of the required 75 per cent fcc election. The first thing Banks did after being voted in was call Mathews telling hun he felt he should also be 10 the hall. Former Dodger center faelder Duke Sruder, who finished fifth In last year's voting, forthrightly confesses 1t'll be the b1ggest day m hls life If be ever gets Into the Hall of Fame. The 46-year-old Mathews, now scout10g for the Milwaukee Brewers, never has much to say about that, possibly because he feels he should have been elected before this or because he doesn't want anybody thmking he's lobbying for hlmaelf. Whatever the case, I go along with Al Rosen With regard to Edd1e Mathews. In his 17 years in the big leagues, during which be collected 2,315 hits, drove ml,453runs and batted .271 m 2,391 games, he established himself as one of the most consistent long-ball hitters in the game and as a genuane Hall of Farner. Rosen, who owned a .285llfetime batting average, knows he has no chance. of ever being voted In himself since he spent only seven full seasons iJ1 the bag leagues With !be Indians and the rules say you need at least 10 years. Rosen quit when he was relatively young, only 32. People always keep asldng him why? "A few years years before I retired, we had a hot-looking rookie rome up by the name of Rudy Regalado," he explained Wednesday. "He was a third baseman, and Al J:.9pez, our manager, asked me if I'd move over to first base. So I moved over. Well, one day, Jim Ravera hit a ground ball and I stuck my right fccefinger into 11. I played for 10 days without having it X-rayed and when I frnally did, I found out my hand was broken. "That precipitated a number of other injuries and I discovered I couldn't do the things on the ball field I used to do. So I qu1t."

In addition , the agency said there may be other such bulbs on the market it hasn't found out about yet.' It urged consumers to ins pect all recently purchased replacement bulbs for the defect, which involves a thin strand of wire sticking out of the solder tip on tbe base of the bulb. The hazard can be removed by taking a scissors or pliers with a cutting edge and snipping off the protruding wire, it said. Or consumers may return tbe defective bulbs to the place of P.,rchase for replacement or money back. The bulbs involved are standard size, rather than miniature . One group measures three inches from tip to bottom of base; the others are two inches long. The recall is being cOnducted voluntarily by the importer, Market Research Imports of Incline City, Nev., discovered the which problem after a consmner complained to a retailer about a cut hand suffered when one of the bulbs exploded. The two models of the bulbs which may have the defect can be identified on the package as item No. LC-9004 Size 9¥• and item No. LC-7004 Size 712. The words "replacement bulbs" and tbe MRI brand letters may also appear on the package. The bulbs, made in Taiwan and sold four to a pack, retailed for about $1 or less and were sold nationwide, the commission said. I ••••••• W: • 1 Convenient Shopping Hours Iw:: W,.

DEAR MARY R. - Handwork is no longer confined to the ladies. I know of many real he-men who do needlepoint or make rugs as a relaxing hobby. A sports writer told me of a masculine acquaintance whose doctor advised crochet as a fonn of therapy during a hospital stay. One of the best known examples is Rooseve lt (Rosie) Grier, the famous footba\1 tackle, who does needlepoint as a .hobby.

Girl friend implicates defendant in Racine Social Events Arsenic poisoning of dead husband I (Continued from page 1) denying any knowledge of Middleswart's being poisoned if "anything came up ." AIU!r the funeral, she said she did not see Fleming for two weeks, although she talked to him on the phone twice . Relatives stayed with her_for a time, she remarked. Then, she and John Fleming went to a Gallipolis motel where they spent the night and again agreed to deny everything . John came to her bouse frequently after that, Mrs. Proffitt said. She told of learning that the body of her husband was to be exhumed from the Stiversville CemeU!ry on Aug. 2 and drove by the cemetery, but did not stop. She called Flenting and told him about officials exhunting the body and he said he would come home from his out-<>f-town employment. She picked him up at his mother's house when he arrived home. She testified that she and Fleming discussed leaving but couldn't .because of the "big lawsuit" she had pending over the death of her son in an accident. She stated that she and Flenting continued to see each other until the law carne and took them into custody on Aug . 18. · At the sheriff's office that night, Mrs. Proffitt said she admitted to Prosecuting Attorney Rick Crow the poisoning of · her husband and later told Jofin ''to U!ll the truth about everything ." John Fleming was .drinking coffee in the kitchen of the sheriff's quarters when she advised .Fleming to do this. Mrs. Proffitt said that she talked to another prisoner during her five day confinement in jail, telling her that people sometimes do "stupid things" and she wished that she hadn 't done what she did. She was released on bond and stayed with an aunt in Syracuse for a time. She IDid of Fleming's wife and daughU!r~n-law picking up everything that belonged to Fleming at her home. She testified that Fleming then went to the hospital and that prior to this time, she was unable to talk to him on the phone because his sister would not put him on the line. She stated that she visited him twice at the hospital but that she never saw him or talked to him afU!r that. There was no questioning on wbat happened to end the r.elatlonship at that point. They did appear in court in October. · Mrs. Proffitt said she entered a plea of guilty to murder and is now serving 1~ years to life in Marysville where she at first worked in the hospital, then the kitchen, but will be transferred back to the hospital when she returns. Upon cross examination by Joseph Vanity, defense attorney, Mrs. Proffitt testified she told her daughter that she did not want to discuss the situation and had told her aunt in Syracuse "that John had nothing to do with it." She adntitted that she told an inmate at the jail that Flenting "had.nothing to do with it". "You lied to her, right?" Vanity asked. "Right", Mrs. Proffitt replied . ABkef if she told Mrs. Bruce Flenting and Mrs. John 'Fienting tllal John had nothing to do with it, Mrs. Proffitt said. she did not. Debbie (Mrs. Bruce) Fleming had testified that Mrs. Proffitt had told the two Mrs. Flemings that Flenting was not Involved earlier in the trial, and Vanity asked if Mrs. Debbie Fleming was ntistaken in her testimony. "She is" , Mrs. Proffitt remarked . Mrs. Proffitt also denied ever having offered Jack Cornell $5,000to kill her husband suggesting that he make it look like a hunting ac~ident or by putting poison in his beverage. She denied ever having suggested in April, this year, that Fleming hlt her husband 's car head-<>n to kill him. · "No, it was discussed by John (Flenting)," Mrs. Proffitt said. Mrs. Proffitt under cross exantination admitted she bought a second bottle of Terro in June at Racine and that Fleming was not present when she bought it. Asked if she had ever given her husband, chrome cleaner. Mrs. Proffitt said she had mentioned doing that, but didn't. "You had the idea?" Vanity asked. "I probably did", she replied. She denied threatening that she would implicate Flenting tn the death of Middleswart if he went back to his wife from whom he had been separated. Mrs. Proffitt said that she had given no polson ID Flenting and did sign papers io be the beneficiary of his life insurance, reported at about $130,000. She testified she talked to Fleming and his sister early in September because Fleming had a gun that belonged to her son and "I'm going ID getit back". Mrs. Proffitt contended that she got the first bottle of ant poison out of Fleming's truck and denied having taken it from the Fleming trailer. Mrs. Proffitt said she didn't rememher an agreement with court officials that she would get a lesser charge against ber if she· would testify against John Flenting. However, Vanity showed her a court entry reducing the charge against her in the death of Middleswart from aggravated murder to second degree murder and ·stating that she would testify against Flenting. The agreement was reached in the court earlier and Is a matter of court record. Mrs. Proffitt remarked that she is not a murderess. Yantty took exception to her staU!ment, pointing out that !lbe had admitted on four occasions adntinistering poison to her husband. "l wouldn't do it agatn" Mrs. Proffitt commented. Yanity hit upoo her her credibility as a witness. "Why should tlle jury believe you? Haven't you lied on many occasions?" Vanity asked. Mrs. Proffitt said that she does not lie. Then she testified, she had to an aunt, and others, about "John not being In it". . "When do you lie then, just when it's convenient?" Vanity pre~ denied stating that she would implicate Flenting when he went back to his wife but admitted that she had stated that she was "glad she found John out." In her final comments before lunch she told Vanity she had just been "joking" in her comments to Cornell about his killing her husband, Middleswart. Mrs. Proffitt was on the stand again alter court recessed for lunch and again Vanity charged her with inconsistent U!stimony in telling two persons that John "was not involved" on the contention she did not want to discuss the matter with them. On redirect examination from Prosecutor Crow, Mrs. Proffitt said she told Vanity earlier (before the trial J that John was involved and he knew she got the second botUe of Terro, and then she said that John didn't know about the other bottle of Terro. Again Vanity charged Mrs. Proffitt with "totally inconsistent" U!stimony . During the late Wednesday morning testimony before Mrs. Proffitt took the witness stand, the jury heard Charles Ginter wbo was confined to the Meigs County jail at the same lime Mrs. Proffitt and Fleming were confined. Canter testified that Fleming had told him that he had bought a bottle of ant poison and was going to use it on his wife. He told Canter that Mrs. Middleswart Proffitt had taken the ant killer and later had bought more. Ginter said also that while playing cards with Mrs. Proffitt in jail she had told him that she wished she "had never done it" but that she was more worried about John getting out of jail than herself. On the stand during the morning also was Fleming's son, Bruce, who testified that he was aware that his father and Freda Middleswart were having an affair. He said that he had heard Freda Middleswart Proffitt say that she would pay $5,000 to anyone who will kill her husband. He said she also had stated that she had put arsenic in a can of beer for her husband but had been afraid to give it to him. Meigs County Coroner Dr. R. R. Pickens followed · Mrs. Proffitt on the stand Wednesday afU!rnoon. He IDid of his role in having the body exhwned and the eventual report arriving that Middleswart had died of arsenic poisoning. He told of his conferences with Sheriff James Proffitt and Prosecutor Crow as the case developed. · On '!he evening of Aug. 18 when Mrs. Middleswart Proffitt and Fleming were brought to the sheriff's quarters, Dr. Pickens said he heard Fleming being advised that he might be an accessory to the murder and that Fleming was advised of his rights. He said Fleming indicated he "had nothing to hide" and would talk. In his signed statement Fleming, Dr. Pickens testified, said that he was aware that Freda had talked of poisoning her husband but he didn't think she was really going to. Dr. Pickens said that a short time later, Flenting was a patient at Veterans Memorial Hospital and that he arranged to have tests on blood, hair and urine for Fleming but he was not permitted to tell in court what the report of those tests showed. Roy A. Young, Lancaster, 30 years in law enforcement. was the next witness and outlined the work he did on the night of Aug. 18 in interviewing John Fleming and Freda Middleswart Proffitt. Young took the dictated statement from Fleming. The prosecution rested its case and the two attorneys and Judge John C. Bacon, presiding over the trial, reviewed the state exhibits with Judge Bacon deciding which will go to the jury. Vanity then asked for a dismissal of the charge against Flenting on the basis that evidence presented was not adequate to permit a jury to reach a verdict beyond a reasonable doubt. Judge Bacon ruled against the request. The defense brought another wave of witnesses, several of whom work or own stores that sell Terro. None of the witnesses could remember selling Terro to either John Fleming or Freda Middleswart Proffitt. Elva Dailey, Syracuse, an aunt of Mrs. Proffitt with whom she stayed for several days following her release from jail, testified that Mrs. Proffitt had told her at the jail that: "l hate to see anybody in jail for something that they didn't do." . Mrs. Dailey said Mrs. Proffitt was referring to John Fleming . Later, Mrs. Dailey said that Mrs. Proffitt told her that John did have sometlling to do witl1 it, the cross exantination by Crow brought out. Then a nwnber of neighbors of the Flemings and the Middleswarts were presented as defense witnesses. Gene Gl1J1Cnter testified that he knew Freda Proffitt had offered Jack Cornell $5,000 to kill her husband, William C. Middleswart. He commented that h~ thought she was kidding. Jack Scarbrough, Mrs. Scarbrough, DiUon Taylor, Jack Molden and Gary Black were questioned about a visit Freda Proffitt made to the Scarbrough home when she claims to have gotten the Terro from Fleming's truck. However, none could testify that she did or did not get the Terro from the truck that day. Dr. Lewis D. Telle testified as to Fleming being a patient at Veterans Memorial Hospital, Sept. !1-14 and tile tests run on Fleming. A urine test, Dr. Telle stated, Indicated that there were 33 miligrams per liU!r of arsenic poisoning in Fleming's urine, a very high count, but that there were no traces of arsenic fowxl in two blood tests. Dr. Telle Indicated that there should have been arsenic traces in the blood becauSe of .the high count in tbe urine. The arsenic count in Flenting's urine dropped to 2.4 miligrams per titer while he was hospitatized-tllose few days, Dr. Telle said. He said normally such a drop should take a matter of four weeks instead of five days . Dr. Telle testified that Flenting had told him be thought he had been given .arsenic poison on Aug. 19 and Aug. 27. According to earlier testimony, Fleming bad been in the county jail on Aug. 19. Dr. Telle COIIUI1ented that he was confident that the dates were the ones given him in an · interview with Fleming. Fleming had volunteered the information and the dates, Dr. Telle said. Josephone Stevens, a sister of Flenting, was the final witness Wednesday. She told of Freda Proffitt's visit to the home of her mother and of Mrs. Proffitt's attempts in front of her, her mother and Fleming, to get Flenting to say that she got the bottle of Terro from the Flerritng at 'the o'f Jack Scarbrough. She contended her brotnen uu•u~..,.,~.., which was cballenged by Prosecutor Crow. truck home strong with BeMie Smith blues, as well as playing the stand-up baSil.
