Murder suspects await trial

though an undercurrent of ap-
prehension ran through the staff
and patients. The FBI investi-
gation continued, assuming a
low profile. Though they re-
fused to admit they had any
strong suspects, agents seemed
to concentrate on certain mem-
- bers of the staff. In late Sep-
 tember, \ asmall controversy
kicked up over alleged harass-
ment of an intensive care nurse
by the FBI.

Ann Arbor, MI 48109 who had been subject to heavy
interrogation by the FBI in early
October.

Despite the nurses' grand juryt
appearance, officials said no in-c
dictments would be handed
down in the near future. Other
witnesses they said, would1
come before the grand jury.I
The nurses appeared before the
grand jury again in mid-Janu-
ary, 1976, but again, federal
prosecutors would make no1
statement on possible indict-
ments.,
THEN, in a highly unusual
move in early March, the pro-
secutors named the two nurses
as suspects in the murder probe
and cited a dying cancer pa-
tient as one of their major
witnesses. As expected, Nar-
cisco and Perez were named in
a legal brief filed in U. S.
District Court. The brief came
approximately six months af-
ter the FBI began its investiga-
tion.
The brief asked the court's
permission to take testimony
from Richard Neely of Osceola,
Indiana. Apparently, federal
prosecutors feared that Neely
would die before indictments
were issued.
Neely claimed to have seen
one of the suspects in his room
at the VA hospital at the mo-
ment he was apparently inject-
ed withethe muscle -trelaxant.
He later identified the nurse
from photographs of the nurses.
SOON AFTER the request,
Judge Philip Pratt was ap-
pointed to preside over the VA
case.
Attorneys for Narcisco and
Perez said they would challenge
both Neely's credibility and the
unusual nature of the prosecu-
tion's request. Previously, only
the defense had been allowed
to ask for special depositions.
Later in March, Pratt 'handed
government prosecutors a set-
back as he ruled that Neely
would have to undergo a physi-
cal examination to determine
whether he was in imminent
danger of death -- thereby de-
priving the government of his
testimony.

"WE'RE STILL $100,000 short
of the 1975 budget," said Uni-
versity President Robben Flem-
ing. "This appears to us as both
disappointing and unfair, as we
took the largest single cut of
any institution of higher learn-
ing in the state of Michigan in
1975-76," he added.
Although dorm rates were also
affected by Milliken's meager
proposed budget, their increase
was necessitated for a much
simpler reason.
"It was just plain old infla-
tion," said University Housing
Director John Feldkamp. "The
University has had to make cuts
just about everywhere, and
with the loss (to the Housing
department) of some $400,000
in General Fund monies, and
with the governor's proposed
budget, we were faced with two
