COURTS Temple to appeal Temple University Hospital will appeal a $5.5 million damage verdict by a Common Pleas jury for three children injured when a next-door neighbor, refused admission to a psychiatric ward, killed himself by blowing up his rowhouse. The jury found Temple Hospital negligent in 1988 by failing to commit Richard Litostansky at his wife's request. Litostansky, 45, distraught over his wife's leaving him, committed suicide by turning on the gas in his home on Sepviva Street near Cumberland in Kensington and lighting a match.

The jury awarded $2.5 million to Harry Mertz and his half-brother, Patrick Odenbreit, and $500,000 to April Mertz. Their home shared a common wall with Litostansky's. Temple spokesman George Ingram said there was no evidence to prove that hospital officials could have predicted Litostansky's suicide. The hospital will appeal, he said.

The settlement fund will be shared by those who purchased common stock between March 8, 1990, and Feb. 1, 1994. The investors claimed they were induced to buy the stock at inflated prices. They contended that Greenwich made misrepresentations and omissions about the drug Therafectin.
