The Michigan Daily - Thursday, January 26, 1984- Page 3 Lawyers deny slavery charges By CAROLINE MULLER Attorneys for an Ann Arbor couple charged with holding two farmhands slaves for 16 years said the couple did not keep the men against their will. U.S. District Judge Charles Joiner yesterday heard opening statements and chose 12 jurors for the state's first slavery case in more than 60 years. , IKE KOZMINSKI, 61, his wife Marguerite, 56, and their son, John, 30, were each charged with one count of conspiracy to violate the civil rights and two counts of involuntary ser- vitude. U.S. District Attorney Virginia Morgan said that the two men had been physically beaten, deprived of food and clothing, and stripped of their dignity. The two workers, Robert Fulmer 57, and Louis Molitoris, 59, both mentally retarded, worked for the Kosminskis since 1967 until they were removed from the farm at 4678 Peckins Rd. near Chelsea in late August by officials at the State Department of Social Ser- vices. MORGAN cited an incident in which Fulmer was struck by a bull and denied medical treatment by the Kosminskis. And when Molitoris severed his thumb on farm equipment he also didn't receive medical attention, Morgan said. But defense attorney Ivan Barris said both workers were provided with social security and covered by insurance. He said doctors would be called on to testify daring the trial on the condition of the two men when they were removed from the farm. Morgan said Kosminski failed to carry out an agreement to pay the men $15 a week for daily work shifts lasting from 3 a.m. to8:30 p.m. THE MEN lived for several years in a trailer which had no-running water or heat, they were fed TV dinners and moldy bread, and lacked adequate cooking facilities, according to Morgan. Barris said the Kosminskis took care of the men who would have otherwise been homeless. Fulmer and Molitoris "were a lot better off at the Kosminskis than they ever would have been on the street," Barris said. BUT MORGAN said that because the two men were mentally retarded they were unable to break away from the Kosminskis. The men were prohibited from talking with neighbors or visitors, who might have helped them escape, Morgan said. Although both men tried to run away several times, they usually returned because they did not have enough money or they were retrieved by the Kozminskis. "THE REAL issue is whether or not these people were kept against their will and forced to render services," Barris said. "My clients spent hundreds of dollars on food for them," Barris said. Barris stressed Ike Kozminski's past experience as a prisoner in a Nazi con- centration camp in the late 1930s as evidence that Kozminski would not hold other people captive. Both sides listed the witnesses they planned to call during the trial, in- cluding neighbors, former farm em- ployees, and tenants.
