Henry Ford, wife,end
in mass murder tri
marriage out of court
United Press International
DETROIT — Auto industry mil
lionaire Henry Ford II and his
second wife, Cristina, dissolved
their 15-year marriage with an out-
of-court settlement.
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

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.

CHICAGO — City officials and
Local 2 of the Fire Fighters Union
Wednesday night approved a five-
point agreement granting amnesty to
the more than 4,000 firefighters who
went on strike last Thursday.
Chicago firefighters have always
previously worked under a “gentle
men’s agreement” with the city and
have never had a written contract.
The agreement was reached in the
chambers of Cook County Circuit
Judge John F. Hechinger, who acted
as an unofficial mediator in the dis
pute, and came after Mayor Jane
Byrne apparently dropped her
threat to fire hundreds of “hard
