Bitten, so the taped variety is only
ic product ti a supplement to be shown when the
willis read, although lawyer Murray
■eyerson said it could become in-
a- valuable if the will is contested.
ao O/fn h e said the real attraction of
*'* the videotape has little to do with
7 legal matters.

‘ " s Mn $125 for the videotape over the cost
of the will. He thought up the
Ideotape setup while reading about
the troubles surrounding the How
ard Hughes’ will.
[| “There were so many problems in
the Hughes’ will,” he said. “It
seemed incredible to me that a man
who had been involved with movies
did not film his last will and testa-
17:00 PI ment.”

2ad and Bll on ^y reason it hasn’t been
done before is because video
equipment was so expensive,”
Meyerson said. “Now they’ve
brought the cost down to where it’s
' affordable. Now you’ll find video
used in more agreements — like
live-in agreements.”

$40,000, but it dropped to $5,000
this spring, Meyerson said.

“It was a terrible thing to do, ” she
said unamused, “and L think this

etable
W.R. Vermillion, a member of
the Board of Probation and Parole,
said Mitchell could be released in 30
to 35 days if the board approves one
of several plans for employment and
living arrangements submitted by
Mitchell.
Howard Eisberg of Kansas City,
Mitchell’s attorney, said he believed
Mitchell would be paroled to a half
way house in Springfield, Mo.
Mitchell was a student at Southwest
Missouri State University in
Springfield before he entered
prison.
“He’s just sort of taking things as
they come for a while,” the father
said.
Garwood
returned
to duty
United Press International
CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. —
Accused turncoat Pfc. Robert R.
Garwood returned to duty at this
Marine base Tuesday and was
given a clerical job until au
thorities decided whether to put
him to trial.
The 33-year-old Garwood, a
former prisoner of war who re
turned to the United Sates last
March after spending 14 years in
Vietnam, is accused by fellow
POWs of deserting and col
laborating with the North
Vietnamese.
“We are confident we will
prevail in charges against Pfc.
Garwood,” said civilian defense
attorney Demont Foley. “We ask
no favors from anyone.”
Garwood has declined to speak
with reporters since his arrival
on the base Monday night.
“We don’t want him put on
display,” said his military attor
ney Capt. Dale W. Miller.
“Right now he is trying to get
himself acclimated. He has not
been on active duty on a military
base in quite some time and he
doesn’t know anybody.”
Although there have been
predictions an investigation into
the case might take months,
Woggon said today the investiga
tion “could be completed in rela
tively a short time, a matter of
weeks or days.”
Garwood has denied the alle
gations and contends he was cap
tured in a September 1965 inci
dent in which he killed two
enemy soldiers.
