Spencer man's wife, son guilty SPENCER, Ind. (AP) - The wife and son of an elderly rural Spencer man were found guilty Friday of criminal confinement and neglect in the man’s death. Fleta Q. Parrish, 78. and M. Kermit Parrish, 54, were convicted in Owen Circuit Court in connection with padlocking Ora B. Parrish in his dilapidated home prior to his death. They each face up to four years in prison. According to testimony, the former Bloomington stone quarry worker had been locked in a small bedroom with only a bed and a seldom-used wood stove for eight years before he died. Bloomington pathologist John E. Pless said that although Parrish’s death was caused primarily by heart problems, physical neglect and malnutrition contributed. Mrs. Parrish and her son told police they locked Parrish up because he was “crazy and had killed farm animals.” but they could not afford to institutionalize him. Prosecution witnesses had claimed Parrish was poorly fed, dehydrated and medically unattended. However, the defense contended his wife and son lived under the same conditions. “Their eating and buying habits are deplorable,” said defense attorney Paul J. Watts. “He was malnutritioned, but so are they.”

According to Sheriff Gerry Hoffa’s report, the driver advised that there was frost on the windshield, apparently impairing his vision. The subject stated he initially thought he hit a trash can but looked back and saw a girl lying down. After stopping and determining that the girls were hurt, the subject reportedly stopped a passing vehicle and instructed the driver to get help, police said.

THE FAMILY CIRCUS 6 By Bil Keane

"Let's see —it's 20 past one...from 6:45 to 12 is 514 hours, plus...say 116 hours, that's...."

Dear Abby Babysitting teen-agers should avoid headphones DEAR ABBY: I recently had an experience I hope you will share with your readers. Our daughter (14) was babysitting two children (5 and 7) on a military base about two blocks from where we live. We felt she was reasonably safe, and, of course, she had access to a telephone if she wanted to contact us. Sho was supposed to have been through baby-sitting around midnight, so when she wasn’t home at 12:30 we called her. No answer. We called again and again and nobody answered, so my wife and I became alarmed and went to the home where she was baby-sitting. We kept ringing the doorbell. No response. By this time we were frantic, so we called the police. Two officers were sent to the house, and they started pounding on the doors and windows until finally our daughter came to the door, wondering what all the commotion was about! We were notified that out daughter was all right the reason she didn’t hear the telephone or doorbell was because she had been listening to music with headphones on, which completely shut her off from everything around her, including, of course, the two children for whom she was responsible! Abby, I sincerely hope that you will print this letter warning your readers that headphones should never be worn when a person is alone in the house, and certainly never by anyone who is responsible for the safety and welfare of others. BEN C. DEAR BEN: Thank you for a very valuable message. * * * DEAR ABBY: Would you please tell me if it’s all right to enclose money in a sympathy card? I know people who have done it. I think it’s OK myself, but I don’t want the people I send money to to think that I think they need it. I’d just rather send money than flowers especially when I know there are going to be more than enough flowers. Answer in the paper if you think it’s important enough. RATHER SEND CASH DEAR RATHER: If you think the family could use the money instead of flowers, by all means send money. It will be deeply appreciated by everyone except the florist. * * * DEAR ABBY: We were invited to a wedding and reception. The affair took place at a restaurant that was owned by the daughter of the groom. After the ceremony, champagne was served, but no food of any kind was offered. The daughter (who owned the restaurant) asked if we would like something to eat, and we said yes. She brought us menus, and we ordered what we wanted. After the food was served, we each received a check for our meal. Well, we ate the food, drank the champagne, wished the newlyweds well and departed, leaving the food checks on the table. Since we were invited guests, we felt insulted to be asked to pay for anything. This was a new one for us. Did we act properly? PERPLEXED IN FLORIDA DEAR PERPLEXED: Since you assumed when you ordered the refreshments that they were on the house, I think you acted properly. (This is a new one for me, too.)
