OUTSIDE TIlE coartroom, de-
fense attorneys indicated that
was the first time Loesch had
aleged that his files had been
tampered with. Defense Attor-
ney Michael Moran told report
ers that if he had known that
fact before taoesch took the wit
ness stand, he would have sure-
ly brsught it out.
Sanko, farther touched on con-
fidential information when he
sought to introduce a question-
naire that doctors and patients
had filled out at the VA Hos-
pital after the rash of myster-
inns breathing failures.
Loesch, in his questionnaire,
answered that a hospital staff
person might be responsible for
the unexsplaiiied breathing fail-
ures. When asked what he would
change about the VA Hospital,
touesch answered. "the whole.
administration."
swered, "too much pot smoking
by the staff."
Federal District Judge Philip
Pratt would not allow the ques-
tionnaire, nor Lozsch's answers,
to be read in the presence of
the jury. "The questionnaire
say given with insurance of its
confidentialitV," Pratt said.
Much of the confusion around
loesch's testimony came froiss
the fact that the witness was un-
able to recall dates and times
during his lengthy stay at the
VA. Loesch was only able to as
socisite his breathing failure,
and seeing the man with the
green suit, with August 15, be-
cause he recalled a patient in
an adjacent room (Dennis
Blamne) harving similar trouble
some time before him.
LOESCH SAID that he told the
FBI about the man in the green
scrub suit, who he said "had his
hands on my IV (intravenous)
line." He said, however, that
the agents "were only interest-
accused of causing Laoe cs
breathing failure by injecting
Pavulon, a powerful muscle re-
laxant, into the patient's intra-
venous feeding tube. In addition
to Loesch's poisoning, Perez is
accused of causing two other
breathing failures by the same
method, while Narciso faces
three a d d i t i o n atl poisoning
charges and one count of mur-
der.
Over 50 breathing failures oc-
curred at the Fuller Road hos-
pital during the summer of 1975.
The mysterious respiratory ar-
rests ended abruptly on August
15, the day of Loesch's breathing
failure when the FBI entered the
case.
