Testimony Ends In
Coppolino Trial
NAPLES, Fla. (UPI) —
Testimony ended in the Coppoli
no murder trial today with a
state witness reaffirming his
finding of evidence of a lethal
drug in the buttock tissue of
Carmela Coppolino.
After state attorney Frank
Schaub rested his rebuttal case,
Circuit Judge Lynn N. Silver
tooth scheduled summations for
the afternoon.
The summations were sche
duled to begin at 1 p.m.
There was a possibility the
all-male jury would begin
deliberating the fate of Dr. Carl
A. Coppolino tonight.
The retired anesthesiologist
and hypnotist, who will be 35
next month, is accused of killing
his first wife by injecting her
with an overdose of succinylcho
line, a drug used by anesthesio
logists during operations.
When the state rested, the
judge turned toward the defense
table and said:
“What sayeth the defense?”
“That's the ball game, as far i
as I’m concerned,” defense |
attorney F. Lee Bailey said. |
It was the 20th court day of
the trial.
The final witness Wednesday
was the defendant’s mother,
Anna. 65. Mrs. Coppolino
testified she went to Sarasota
the day after Carmela was
buried in her father’s family
plot in Boon ton. N.J.
At Carl’s home in Sarasota,
the mother testified, she saw
Marjorie Farber, who was
“very anxious to marry my
son.” Mrs. Farber had testified
for the state in two trials that

she and Coppolino had been
lovers while both were married.
Coppolino was acquitted in
Freehold, N.J., last Dec. 15 on
charges of having murdered
Mrs. Farber’s husband in 1963.
Mrs. Copolino said Mrs.
Farber told her in the Sarasota
home how she wanted to marry
Carl “because she felt she knew
my granddaughters so well and
loved my son so.” Then the
mother added, as she had in the
New Jersey trial:
“I told her she was old
enough to be his mother—
almost as old as I am.”

Svetlana Will Love U. S.
If The U.S. Loves Her
By ALINE MOSBY
United Press International
NEW YORK (UPI) —Seeking
the freedom denied her in the
Soviet Union, Josef Stalin’s only
daughter will spend the coming
months in seclusion, working on
her book and, perhaps, falling in
love with the United States.
Svetlana Alliluyeva, asked if
she would seek American
citizenship, replied:
“Well, I think that before the
marriage it should be love. So if
I will love this country and this
country will love me, then the
marriage will be settled. But I
cannot say now.’’
Denies Assassination Rumors
Stalin’s comely, 42-year-old
daughter who defected from the
Soviet Union appeared Wednes
day at a nationally televised
news conference. In answer to
questions, she:
—Accused high Russian Com
munists still in power of being
equally as guilty of “horrible
things” as her late father.
—Denied rumors Stalin had
been assassinated, saying it was
“evident he was sick and his
death was the natural result of
illness.”
—Disclosed that she had her
autobiographical book smuggled
out of the Soviet Union through
Inid after the conviction of two
Russian writers on charges of
“high treason.”
Discounted the possibility of
reprisals on her children, both
of whom she left behind in
Moscow, saying, “I don’t think
something bad might happen
with them there, because they
don’t deserve it.”
Questions had been submitted
in advance of the heavily
guarded news conference, Mrs.
Alliluyeva’s first public appea
rance since she arrived here
from Switzerland last Friday.
Photographers were frisked
and reporters were carefully
checked at the doorway of the
plush Terrace Room of the
Hotel Plaza in mid-Manhattan.
Private detectives and public
relations men mingled with
newsmen.

The Griffin Kiwanis Club presented Carl Presley a Golden Scroll Award in con
nection with his being chosen to attend the American Academy of Achievement in
Dallas in June. He and Miss Emily Brisendine also from Griffin will join hundreds
of youths from over the nation at the meeting where they will talk with national and
world leaders. The Kiwanis Club and Atlanta Gas Light will co-sponsor Presley
and the Elks Lodge will sponsor Miss Brisendine. Shown at the Kiwanis presenta

faced, red-haired woman look
ing smart in a blue silk suit,
was seated to the right of two
attorneys, who pored though
about 300 written questions that
had been collected at the door.
Many of the questions asked
her dealt with her conversion to
Christianity, her political ideas,
her resentment over Soviet
treatment of her late Indian
husband, and her experiences in
the Soviet Union.
The widow said she had a
growing interest in religion and
revealed that she had been
baptized in th Russian Ortho
dox faith in 1962.
She described herself as a
non-political person, but left no
doubt that she had left her
homeland because of repres
sions and restrictions on her
freedom, particularly as a
writer.
She said a writer “needs
freedom to express what he
likes and that person should be
sure that his books will be
published. This is what I could
not—as many other writers—
which I could not have at
home.”
Revolution Idea Obsolete
Asked to specify what dogmas
of Communism had lost their
significance for her, Mrs.
Alliluyeva responded: “I believe
that in modern world, in 20th
Century to which we belong, in
the century of atom bomb and
space flights, the idea of class
revolution which can bring
people to progress has lost its
significance.”
She said another factor in her
decision to leave the Soviet
Union was the treatment
accorded her and her intended
husband. Their request to be
married was denied by “the
party and the government.”
“I think this is not the
business of the government at
all,” she said, and the whole
thing finished quite tragically
because my husband died in
Moscow and his death made me
absolutely intolerant to the the
things to which I was rather
tolerant before.”
Asked about the future in
Russia, she said, Perhaps
those students who are now 18,
19, 20 years old in Russia, when
they will become grown up and
when and if they will become

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (UPI)
—A meeting of a special
committee of Indiana State
University professors was held
Tuesday to determine what
action should be taken against a
Canadian professor who burned
a small American flag in his
freshman English class to
demonstrate symbolism.
No announcement of the
decision will be made public for
at least a week in the case of
Dr. Scott A. Chisholm, 31,
suspended from his position
after the Incident. He denied he
had any motive other than to
demonstrate symbolism.
