'13 staidiu
sitter squats
to success
in four~day
marathon
By CHARLIE SEWELL
Ninety-six hours and twelve minutes
after he began Sunday afternoon, Jim
Purol sat in the last of 101,701 seats in
the Michigan Football Stadium.
"Monotony was the most difficult
thing about it," said Purol shortly after
completing the stunt yesterday after-
noon. The sitting marathon raised
nearly $3,500 for the American Lung
Association, according to Purol's press
agent. Purol has now performed a total
of 10 stunts to benefit a variety, of
charities.
IN HIS four days in the stadium,
Purol slept only five and a half hours.
He said Wednesday's thunderstorms
came as a welcome relief from the
heat. During the day he had to be
coated with suntan lotion and sprayed
down with water periodically.
Despite the lack of sleep and a little
stiffness in his legs and shoulders,
Purol said he felt good. To help him per-
form the stunt he stuffed a pad into the
seat of his pants and used specially
designed hand held tools to protect his
hands from blistering as he moved
* along the stadium benches. "I've been
working out for about eight months. I
haven't got the biggest arms, but I had
enough to make it," he said.
As he drove out of the stadium
parking lot at 2:45 p.m. yesterday af-
ternoon, Purol was on his way to a 4
p.m. appearance on television's "Good
Afternoon Detroit". "I'm running on
adrenalin right now," he said. "Tonight
I'll sleep."
But Purol has little time for rest.
Tonight he performs his nightly
comedy musical act at a Detroit night-
club where he is known as Jim Mouth, a
name he earned by performing such

feats as smoking 140 cigarettes for five
minutes and puffing on 40 cigars for a
similar period of time.
Mouth hopes the Guiness Book of
World Records will publish his newest
record and create a new category he
calls "stadium sitting." Presently he
holds five Guiness records and five un-
published records which the publishers
of the record book say are too ridiculous
to be published.
Mouth cited several unusual records
which do appear in the book, making
the publishers' use of the term
ridiculous seem contradictory. "I told
(the publishers) I was the self-
proclaimed world's record holder of the
most world records and they told me I
couldn't do that. Who do they think they
are?" Purol joked during his marathon.
Hart murder

last November, she said.
But Quarterman countered that
Wojno took a great deal of time before
rejecting Hart as the man she saw the
night Faber was murdered.
"You didn't pick this gentleman, did
you?" he asked.
"No," she said.
One problem in the trial is the absen-
ce of Faber's husband, who is on a
trial begins
three-week tour of the Soviet Union.
Judge Campbell would not allow
Mackie to use Faber's testimony from
the Pearson trial because he said the
defendant has a right to face his ac-
cuser.
Mackie said the problem will be
solved by phoning Faber in the Soviet
Union, although Mackie said neither he
nor anyone he knew had spoken directly
to Faber.
