Death Notices liC Friday, July 22, 1983 Obituaries Philadelphia "inquirer Death Notices Frances S. Ballard, civic leader In her years in the park, she played a leading part in the development of lilillBlllli Frances Stoughton Ballard, 87, horsewoman, musician, civic leader and environmentalist, died Wednesday at the Clara Burke Nursing Home in Plymouth Meeting. She had lived in the Roxborough and Chestnut Hill sections of the city. As an enthusiastic amateur, she played the violin and, in later life, the viola. She taught briefly at the Settlement Music School and played regularly in string quartets, piano quintets, community orchestras and neighborhood ensembles.

She was a devoted supporter of the Philadelphia Orchestra and had been since World War I. In its support, she served on the orchestra's Women's Committee. She was equally dedicated to her horses, environmental matters and the Fairmount Park system. In her eyes, these concerns were closely related. Mrs.

Ballard was known as a skilled and sensitive rider with an ability to get top performances from her mounts. She rode daily and worked to help others enjoy riding as much as she did. She took particular interest in young riders, encouraging the timid and implanting standards of courtesy, safety and consideration among riders. Encouraging the young riders, she directed a children's hunt, using the hounds and facilities of the White- horse, friends said. She replied that was very nearly true.

Born in Fort Washington, she spent most of her growing years around horses. She said that she was "too busy in the stables" to go to school until she was 10. Once started, she made up for lost time, graduating from the Agnes Irwin School at the age of 16. Her time in Fairmount Park, particularly on the Wissahickon carriage drive, came to public attention, and H. Jay Cooke, park commission chairman, decided after the 1952 death of her husband, Frederic Ballard to put it to use.

"Consider yourself at work any time you're on your horse," he told her, hiring her as a park commission consultant. She quickly developed a regimen that she continued for years rising in the early hours and beginning her ride before dawn each morning. She took the trails at a gallop, checking park conditions on the run. Her duties on a typical day might include directing sailboat races, arranging sightseeing tours, playing one of the municipal golf courses "just to listen to the gripes," personally installing park signs clad in dungarees and work shirt and picking up a hammer to join work on converting a sheep barn into a living area for actors playing at the old Playhouse in the Park.

L'nifed Press International EASTBOURNE, England Whether he was a 'compassionate physician who treated the poor for free or the murderer of up to 25 of his elderly patients is not resolved but Dr.

John Bodkin Adams has been laid to rest. A funeral was held Wednesday and Adams, 84, was cremated as were many of his patients, more than 100 of whom remembered him in their wills. Some died within days of altering their wills in the doctor's favor. Adams' own will is to be published next month. An unconfirmed estimate said he was worth at least $375,000.

Much of his fortune was derived from the wills of patients, as many as 25 of whom his detractors believed may have been "helped" on their way. When he was charged with murder, Adams was reported to have told a detective, "Easing the passing of a dying person is not all that wicked." He was brought to trial at the Old Deaths here Amelia "Millie" Riccardi, 63, president of a. South Philadelphia hardware and construction supply died Wednesday qi Lankenau Hospital.

Thomas Aquinas Church, South Philadelphia. Deaths elsewhere Luther Farless, 59, a cancer sufferer who was denied benefits and told to eturn to work by Social Security offjcials seven months ago, died Monday at Stones River Hospital in Woodbury, Tenn. A year ago, after being hospitalized for removal of a portion of a malignant brain tumor, he applied for So cial Security benefits. His claim was rejected in December. Social Security officials had indicated that his condition would not prevent him from working.

After news accounts of Farless' plight in April, the decision was reversed and his first check was delivered to his hospital room on April 28. Frances E. Willis, 84, the nation's first female career diplomat, died Wednesday at her home in Redlands, Frances Stoughton Ballard marsh Valley Hunt Club, where she was huntswoman. Her homes were always close enough to Fairmount Park so that she could ride its trails daily, first from Andorra Corner, the home on Northwestern Avenue where she raised her children, and then from her home on Crefeld Street. It was as if she had been born on a Bailey, London's main criminal court, in 1957, charged with murdering Edith Morrell, 82, by "administering powerful and dangerous drugs." Police working on the case were aghast because the public prosecutor picked as his test case one in which the body had been cremated.

At least three other cases were prepared in which the bodies of patients had been exhumed. According to police, the bodies showed the presence of drugs. But the prosecutor was confident he could take Adams apart in cross examination. He never got the chance because the defense counsel decided against putting the doctor on the witness stand. Adams spoke only six words during the 17-day trial: "I am not guilty, my lord." The jury took only 44 minutes to acquit Adams and, discouraged by the outcome, the prosecution decided to drop the other cases.

"I think he helped many of these people on their way," writes retired police officer Charley Hewitt in a book to be published next month. "The trouble was that so many of his victims were cremated." But Charles Aldous, former mayor of Eastbourne, was equally sure Adams was innocent. "In his mid-life, he became the victim of a vicious whispering campaign of rumor and vilification, but he gave treatment to any who sought his help," Aldous said Wednesday. "Many were poor patients who were charged no fee." The police case against Adams was that he administered increasing doses of morphine or heroin to relieve suffering, prevailed upon the addicted patients to change their wills and then gave them overdoses.

But to his friends and surviving patients, Adams remained "a good Christian." His ashes yesterday were being taken back to Northern Ireland to be buried by the grave of his mother.
