Wing said Simants blamed himseit tor
the baby's condition. ,
He was also upset about the kind of care
the girl was receiving in her mother's home.
"He didn't like the way his wife was
handling the baby," Wing said. "She used
to do things like take her to parties."
Wing told the jury that in August 1968,
she, Simants and a close friend entered
Simants' wife's home when she was gone.
They tore apart the furniture, wrote on
walls and broke dishes in every room but
the one where his daughter slept.
Wing and Simants would not let them
enter the girl's bedroom. "That was the
only roor.i in the house that didn't get
wrecked that evening," she said.
"HE SAID that Mary Lou (his wife) was
not doing what she should be," Wing said,
explaining why they ransacked the house.
"He was very pale that night, angry,
upset-he wasn't himself."
According to Wing's testimony, Simants
was also convinced he was going to die
before he was 30. Under cross examina
tion, Wing said Simants never went to a
doctor while they were living together. She
said he didn't trust doctors.
"He had something wrong with his
stomach," she said. "The doctors said he
wasn't going to live."
Simants constantly lived in fear, Wing
testified.
"Most of his fears were not real fears
that most people would have," she said.
"He really couldn't pinpoint why he was
afraid. He just thought people were out to
get him."
Wing admitted that she was an alcoholic
and Simants, too, drank heavily while they
were living together. She said he became
harder to live with as the year progressed.
They continued to see each other after she
moved out, Wing said, until December of
1968.
Another friend of Simants, Toby Zeigler
of North Platte, said Simants began drink
ing heavily after his marriage.
During cross examination, prosecutor
Marvin Holscher suggested that Simants'
heavy drinking was not unusual. Certainly,
he said, Zeigler must have known people
with worse drinking problems.
"No sir." Zeigler replied, "Not like
Herbies' (Simants' nickname)."
He drank heavily every night, Zeigler
said, and then, "He'd get up in the morn
ing and he'd drink whiskey. And that's
for breakfast."
Simants also had a charge account at a
Sutherland liquor store, Zeigler said, and
he would use his paychecks, when he had a
job, to pay on his account there.
