Attorneys for the auto magnate and his Italian born wife, announced Wednesday they negotiated an the settlement designed to save them the spectacle of a lengthy public trial. “He’s very pleased that he could very quietly and amicably end this marriage this way,” said Milton J. Miller, Ford’s attorney. “It’s the civilized way to do things, and it’s what he’s wanted all along.” The agreement was fashioned by attorneys shuttling floor-to-floor be tween conference rooms and cour trooms during nearly two full days of private talks. Under provisions of the agree ment, neither side may discuss terms of the settlement. It was reported, however, Mrs. Ford sought at least $10 million to $15 million to end her marriage to the 62-year-old Ford, whose net IKm vrtn\x Wellborn b-b-q FRIDAY AGGIE SPECIAL with the purchase of a sandwich get any drink FREE MUST HAVE A&M I.D. 693-7736 worth had been estimated in earlier court documents at $70 million. Ford’s 1964 property settlement with his first wife, Anne, reportedly was between $16 million and $20 million. Ford and his estranged wife sat expressionless as they waited in the courtroom for Wayne County Cir cuit Judge John Kirwan to reconvene the two-day proceedings. Mrs. Ford’s attorney, A. Robert Zeff, called the settlement “very much satisfactory to us.” Up to 100 people — mostly repor ters and witnesses — had packed Kirwan’s small courtroom during the trial that opened on the Fords’ 15th wedding anniversary Tuesday. Mrs. Ford filed for a a legal separa tion in December 1977 — two years after her husband moved out of their 76-room mansion in suburban Cros se Pointe Farms. Ford, who retired last fall after 34 years as chief executive officer of Ford Motor Co., responded by filing for divorce a month later. United Press International CHICAGO — The prosecution has rested its case against mass- murder suspect John Wayne Gacy with testimony on how Gacy stored the bodies of his alleged victims. The case consisted primarily of cir cumstantial evidence and confes sions Gacy made to authorities — some of them contradictory. After the defense presentation, expected to feature psychiatric testimony, the prosecution will have a chance to present rebuttal witnesses. Cook County Circuit Judge Louis B. Garippo said he would rule today on a defense motion for a directed verdict of acquittal. The motion argued the state did not prove Gacy guilty of the sex slayings of 33 boys and young men — the largest num ber of murder charges ever brought against an individual in the United States. Garippo also said Wednesday he wanted attorneys from both sides to present arguments on charges of de viate sexual assault and indecent liberties with a child. Garippo said he had “problems” with the charges filed in the death of Robert Piest, 15, becauseti showed Gacy gave conflict^ ments about the extent activity with the youth.
