Pathologist Assails Lay Coroner System By WALTER PHILBIN Clarion-Ledger Staff Writer A veteran pathologist has labeled the elected lay coroner system and the quality of investigation it produces a "national and called for the gradual institution of a more efficient system. Dr. Joseph C. Rupp, medical examiner for Nueces County, said in an interview Tuesday the lay coroner system is "one of the last medieval offices surviving into modern address law enforcement asDr. Rupp, was in Jackson to sistance administration (LEAA) homicide seminar attended by state and local law officers.

He blasted the political nature of the coroner system, saying it leads to inefficiency and an abuse of power. Asked about the stipulation of having a qualified physician as coroner, which is the situation in Hinds County, he said i it was "better than Dr. Rupp said a medical examiner should be a qualified forensic pathologist-a recognized medical specialty dealing with medical-legal problems. "It has always been strange to me a nation where nothing captures public imthat agination like death, everybody shoves it under the rug." says Rupp, referring to what he calls the quality of death nationwide. He described the problem as a "vicious cycle" because "the coroner system is so entrenched in our political system that little opportunity is extended in the field of forensic pathology to young doctors." For this reason, he said, we don't have a lot of young tors going into the field.

There is currently no one state in which every jurisdiction has junked the old coroner system, he said. He said he would like to the gradual institution of the medical examiner system. SO that there would be an opportunity to train individuals, because right now there is a shortage of forensic pathologists. He said those communities which have begun a examiner program have usually done so after a highly-publicized case that is Dallas. site of the JFK assassination and the subsequent controversial autopsy, is one of the cities that employs the new system.

One of the problems in motivating a community, Dr. Rupp says, is that presenting the problem in dollars and cents is more difficult than pointing out obvious but intangible benefits. Some of the intangibles he listed as the advantages of the medical examiner system were in the areas of public health. safety, industrial accidents, homicides and apparents homicides. Benefits accruing to lawI cal enforcement include and, good in meditestimony some cases, the exoneration of innocent parties.

A qualified forensic patholo- gist in the role of medical examiner would attend to all these matters. In the area of public health, Rupp said that domestic illness deaths would receive more attention, resulting, for example, in the occasional detection and control of community epidemics. He urged autopsies and toxicology reports in the investigation of all vehicle fatalities, and predicted a much greater frequency of traffic fatalities will be found associated with alcohol abuse. He added such innovations would provide advantages in the form of more easily obtained and more accurate information on traffic highway fatatliies, and would be of great benefit to engineers in pointing out faults in the highway system. In industrial accidents, tracted, litigation would deter- be by an accurate mination of the previous health of deceased persons killed 1 in such mishaps, and the need for new safety measure might be pointed out.

Additionally, good medical testimony makes or breaks many homicide cases, Dr. Rupp says. "No matter how good the investigation, or how good the traces picked up by sharp police investigators, an inexpert autopsy can ruin many a homicide case." Actually, savings from a good medical examiner system far outweighs the waste in the coroner system, "which, by the way, is not an inexpensive sysIt will save in litigation intem," he says. volving insurance, double indemnity clauses, investigation and other areas. cannot be relied on to Lawyers.

the medical examiner system because lengthy littgation is to their advantage, Dr. Rupp says--and the public is apathetic. What the coroner system produces, among other things, is lengthy, expensive investigations and litigation, such as in the aftermath of the policeblack panther incident in Chicago, Rupp says. Cook County, in which Chicago is located has no medical examiners as such. The medical examiner system also would do away with the abuse of power which is almost invited by the coroner system, and its inexactness, Rupp says.

A murder. suicide or accidental death?" is the method Dr. Rupp says is too often used in coroner jurisdictions. Dr. Rupp was Associate Pathologist at a hospital in Lauderdale, for five vears before taking his present job in Corpus Christi, which junked the coroner system in March of 1970.

In 1964 he served as deputy medical examiner in Minneapolis, Minn. He instructed the local ho micide seminar Tuesday 1 in the Computer Job Bank Opening In Jackson The nation's first computerized state job bank program is opening in Mississippi and Gov. Bill Waller said the new effort will help get employers and job hunters together. Waller announced the creation of the program at a press conference in his office Tuesday and said the first phase embracing 26 counties was opening in Jackson. He said this phase will take in counties of the central belt across the state that within a few weeks centers will open at Hattiesburg for southern counties and Greenwood for those in the north.

Local employment offices will feed into the area offices their requests for both jobs and employes, and these will go into the central computer here. Any employment office in the state can then dial the computer and get a report on a screen in a special receiving unit. registered with the local employment offices can know of all currently listed job openings and training opportunities in the state for which they are Waller said. "We certainly encourage all job-seekers and all employers to take advantage of this service available to them through the job bank. Waller said he hoped the job bank program would become part of a national job bank effort.

At present, the state employment office has 36 regular of- nal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Troy Adams, of Meadeville. Friends may call at Wright Ferguson until 10:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Society Doctor Indicted Allegedly Bought $100,000 Policy On Dead Woman NEW YORK (AP) A Park Avenue society doctor was charged with grand larceny and conspiracy Monday in an alleged insurance swindle involving a $100,000 policy he held on his late secretary, Gail Richards. Her mysterious death is being probed by a Manhattan grand jury. Indicted with Dr. Geoffrey Richstone was his accountant, Edwin Weinberg of New City, N.Y. The two men also were accused of fraudulently getting Dr.

Franklin Davidson to sign a death certificate saying Miss Richards died of viral pneumonia Sept. 20 when they knew she had actually died of a massive overdose of barbiturates Sept. 18. There are no charges against Dr. Davidson.

MAILED PREMIUM On the day in between, Sept. 19. knowing Miss Richards, 30, was dead, the indictment said, Weinberg mailed the insurance application and a $1,900 check to cover the first premium. Dist. Atty.

Frank Hogan gave credit for breaking the case to Joseph Healy, chief investigator for Continental Assurance, who became suspicious and persuaded Hogan's office to have the body exhumed for an autopsy by Dr. Milton Helpern, chief medical examiner. Helpern gave the true cause of death and Hogan said the circ*mstances were "a matter of continuing interest to us." He added that Miss Richards, who once shared an apartment with the doctor, was examined for the $100,000 policy Sept. 10 at which time Dr. Richstone and Weinberg conspired to conceal from the company the fact that she had Hodgkins disease.

This is a cancerous condition in which cells from the body's lymph nodes grow out of control and invade other tissues or organs. ANOTHER POLICY Miss Richards also had another $10,000 policy, of which the to reinsurances ceive half. The investigators said Dr. Richstone explained Continental that he was taking out the large policy on Miss Richards because she was a key ization he was methica, up for employee of a organgroup The Pinsurance company began its investigation because the death occurred SO soon after issuance of the policy. This is standard procedure.

A day after Miss Richards died, the indictment said, Dr. Richstone telephoned Davidson and said he was treating her for pneumonia. He asked Dr. Davidson to stand by for consultation. That same day Dr.

Richstone, 33, and a Beth Rose, who was not named as a defendant, went into the sickroom and put out drugs and other things that would make it look as though a pneumonia patient were being treated, it was charged. The indictment said Dr. Richstone and Weinberg removed the remains of the barbiturates. The indictment said Dr. Richstone called Dr.

Davidson the next day and asked him to go to Miss Richards' apartment with him, saying he had been unable to get a reply when he telephoned. There he caused Dr. Davidson to examine Miss Richards and "discover" she was dead, and persuaded him to issue the death certificate. Waller Says Road Funding Up To Solons By The Associated Press Gov. Bill Waller stood pat Tuesday on plans to let the Mississippi legislature decide how to raise the funds to support his $600 million highway program.

Representatives of six development groups met with Waller Monday night and urged him to recommend specific proposals to lawmakers. While various methods of funding the ambitious program were discussed, the governor said, "there has been no major change in strategy, philosophy and format. "They agreed to continue their efforts and I agreed to continue mine." George McLean of Tupelo, chairman of the group known as Highways Our Pressing Emergency, said the represenWaller they felt he "is going to have to tell the legislature. he thinks we should do. If the governor oes not take the lead at this time, we believe the highway program is in serious McLean said, however, Waller indicated that "if he came out with a specific program, many people could take the po- Wednesday, March 15, 1978 36 Che Clarion -Ledger Consumers Association Supports Consumer Bill subjects of sex-crime and fire deaths, using his own slides, mostly from his own cases.

Vacant Buildings Could Help Poor. Shirley Argues JACKSON, Miss. (AP) The project director of the JacksonHinds comprehensive center has appealed to federal officials to help encourage the Hinds County school board to make two vacant school buildings available for center use.

Dr. Aaron Shirley sent a telegram to secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Elliot Richardson asking him to use "your moral and-or legal persuasion" to encourage the board to "make available to the elderly, hungry and poor of the Edwards community the use of two abandoned one-room school buildings. "We have identified hundreds of poor, lonely, elderly individuals in the community whose total diet consists of only cold cuts and canned cold beans and hundreds of teen-agers who, without proper guidance, will not be a able to develop their talents," he said in the telegram. have also identified many young mothers--poor and sometimes unwed -who would like to obtain jobs or pursue their education, but are unable because they have no place to leave their he said. He said the Hinds County school board would not allow his group to have the buildings for a program in which hot meals and recreational activities would be provided.

He said the board decided not to make use of the buildings because they may be needed in the future for school purposes. Shirley said among other he group offered to buy insurance for the structure and would be willing to vacate the property within a day's notice by the school board when it is needed. He said the buildings at present were inadequate for school purposes. British Smoke Less In 1971 LONDON (AP) The British are smoking less, government figures indicate.

According to police reports two colored males entered the Handy Mart at 944 Robinson St.

about 2 a. m. and walked to the rear and started talking to a colored employe there. Moments later, two more colored males entered and walked to the counter. At that time, the first two came forward holding guns on the colored employe and the second pair pulled on the counter attendant.

A fifth colored male then entered the store and stood by the front door while two of the gunmen went behind the counter and emptied the register into a money bag. They reportedly got just over $350. The bandits reportedly refused the money of one of the store patrons when she offered it to them. The same store was held up one night in early December by two other colored males. Police have since arrested and charged two persons with that robbery.
