103-Year-Old Man Is Bound To Grand Jury INDIANAPOLIS (UPD —An Indianapolis barber, who claims to be 103 years old, today was bound over to a Marion County grand jury on charges that he made passes at a girl and tried to kill a policeman with an ice pick. Frank C. Wiant was shot in the calf of his leg by Patrolman Jerrold G. Schlangen who said he fired after the elderly man pulled out an ice pick and attacked him as Schlangen tried to arrest Wiant on a molesting charge. Wiant said his mothr told him he was born Aug. 12. 1856, on a farm between Chircleville and Chillicothe, Ohio, near two Indian mounds. He admitted that his mother, who he said died about 60 years ago, could have been mistaken. The stocky, bald man, who looked to be nearer 80 than 103, entered pleas of innocent to charges of assault and battery with intent to murder, resisting arrest, assautl and battery on a minor and disorderly conduct. He was bound over to the grand jury on all four charges and bond was set at $6,100. “I don’t remember about the fight but I know my leg hurts,” Wiant said. "I was just listening to a church service on the radio when the policeman came- I never done what they said and I’m not going to pay for any (lawyer, so I* guess I'm going to . jail.” v Wiant said he could remember when Grover Cleveland was president the first time in 1885 and could remember the assassination of William McKinley. But most of Wiant’s rcollections were of the early 1900 s when
