Warsaw Attorney, Wife Killed In Viet Nam

A prominent Warsaw attorney and his wife. Mr. and Mrs. John D. Widaman 11, were among 81 persons killed on a Cathay Pacific Airways 880 jetliner at 1:30 a.m. last Thursday. The plane carrying the Widamans and 15 other Americans, seemingly exploded in mid-air above a Communist-infested jungle 230 miles north of Saigon, Viet Nam. At first it was believed the plane collided with an allied aircraft or was hit by a Communist missile. However, investigators have since ruled out both possibilities and are working on the idea that the crash was caused by a structural failure or a bomb may have exploded onboard. Widaman, 55, was visiting Indiana university-related projects in Eurpe and Asia. He and his wife left Warsaw May 29
