"He's done very well in business," said Stanley Kresge, recalling that when Donald and Carol were engaged, Don flew the couple to the Kresge family cabin in Maine in his own plane. "He was quite a flyer.

He flew us out over the ocean one day, let me handle the controls at one point," said Kresge, who ascribes a net worth to DeArment "in the small millions, two or three or four." Donald DeArment differs with that assessment, asserting in divorce papers that his four companies have a book value under $300,000. One, In-duct-O-Matic, filed a Chapter 1 1 bankruptcy petition nine months ago and is being reorganized, said a company spokesman. A full view of DeArment's finances may never be available, now that the CITY WEA HILO CITY WEA HILO TODAY'S LAKE FORECASTS Erie: NE winds at 10 to 15 knots, waves two to three feet.

It was compiled by Joe Rossiter. DeARMENT, from Page 1A her body in the trunk of his Mercedes, leaving bloodstains they hope to prove were hers. Lacking a documented blood type for Carol DeArment, investigators say they will deduce one from blood sam-.

pies taken from her husband and children, a technique Oakland County Prosecutor L. Brooks Patterson calls "99 percent" accurate. Results of the blood tests expected soon will tie Donald DeArment to his wife's death, the affidavits say. IN HIS Kresge Foundation office in Troy, Stanley Kresge said "it is assumed that someone met" his granddaughter at the house and "either spirited her away or destroyed her." "Most everyone feels that Don did it, but there's no proof," Kresge said. "That's what I tell people." Donald DeArment has not made himself available for interviews.

His attorney, Robert Harrison, said DeArment is an innocent man trying to survive "police harassment." an automotive supplier who owns four Macomb County firms, was fighting a divorce suit filed by his wife at the time she disappeared. Court orders forbade him from touching his wife or entering the family den, where she slept. Carol DeArment charged in court and told friends that after she filed for divorce, her husband repeatedly assaulted her, physically and sexually, that she feared for her safety. Foreboding was aroused in Carol's friend Karen Douthett, 34, who lives across the street in the subdivision of $150,000 homes, when Carol gave her a black sweatshirt she said she found rolled up on the floor of her husband's closet. It contained a combat knife, hunting knife and machete, now held Troy police.

Of six reports on file naming Carol DeArment, not one documents a beating or injury to her. On one date, she told police that no assault had occurred, according to the report, although she later charged her husband in court papers with striking her three times and chipping a tooth. probably did whack her a few times," said Rollinger.

But police don't believe the violence "was as bad as people allege that it was," said Sgt. Bill Tullock, spokesman for the Troy 'Three of the reports are complaints apput wiretaps Donald DeArment had placed to tape his wife's telephone calls, which her friends say he planned to use in court to portray her as a poor njother. Carol DeArment's friends and her couple's divorce is stalled. Carol DeArment's lawyer, Hanley Gurwin, said an estimated $1.3 million came to Donald DeArment shortly before his wife disappeared. It was a delayed payment from property DeArment sold via condemnation proceedings for the General Motors Corp.

Poletown plant in Detroit, Gurwin said. "The total amount was close to $2 million, some of which had already been paid," he said. To pursue Carol DeArment's divorce settlement, Gurwin said, "I wanted to find out where this money f- Lillian Hellman in a 1981 photo Lillian Hellman, author of the play went, which corporations it went to." Gurwin said he arranged for an accountant to trace the money, but DeArment's attorneys stalled for a week or so. A date for the audit was finally agreed on, Gurwin said, but a few days before, Carol DeArment disappeared. "Then they called and said, 'Don't come, because we won't let you Gurwin said.

Donald DeArment's divorce attorney, Daniel Devine, confirmed that an auditor was denied access to the records after Carol's disappearance. But 'Little dies VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass. (AP) Playwright Lillian Hellman, whose "The Little Foxes" became a classic portrayal of a wealthy and rapacious Southern family, died Saturday at the age of 79. Hellman, whose work also was the basis for the movie "Julia," died of cardiac arrest at Martha's Vineyard Hospital, near her summer home on Vineyard Haven Harbor. Devine said he has no knowledge of the payment Gurwin describes.

And, Devine said, "We didn't stall anything. no question there was an order for an exam of books and records, and we were in the orderly process of accomplishing that when she disappeared for all we know, walked out." Peter Feibleman, an author and close friend, said in Los Angeles that Hellman had been seriously ill for about a year and a half and was in "pretty severe discomfort." Novelist and journalist John Her-sey, another close friend and a neighbor of Hellman, said: "Her fight all mother, Georgia O'Rourke, 61, of Wa-terford Township, say Carol countered by 'taping her husband's phone conversations. Troy police say they are holding both sets of tapes. couple's arguments were bitted confirmed O'Rourke, who, much sympathized with her daughter, said she thinks the case is not as onesided as has been portrayed. know there's been violence between them and I know that my daughter initiated some of it," she said.

AFTER THE disappearance, Harrison, Donald DeArment's defense attorney, with the help of the American Civil Liberties Union, repeatedly delayed police attempts to obtain evidence. After months of legal maneuvering, through her life was to have existence better than it could be for most human beings. So it was difficult going but always exhilarating to be with her.

She had a long and stormy relationship with Dashiell Hammett, the private detective-turned-author who wrote such detective classics as "The Maltese Falcon" and "The Thin Man." They met in 1931 and were together off and on until his death in 1961. Her writings had international political themes such, as isolationism and the rise of fascism, in "Watch on the Rhine" in 1941 and "The Searching Wind" in 1944.

The case was largely circumstantial.

"We just hope this one doesn't turn out like that," said a Troy police Jacobsons "generation gap" between her husband's sexual mores and hers. "(To) a man of his age, your wife is your possession and you're entitled to services," O'Rourke said bluntly. Douthett said DeArment often left a $5D or $100 bill in her jewelry box "if she was good the night before." Douthett and Jeanne Leich, who each calls herself "Carol's best friend," said Carol outgrew the dependent relationship in which, according to Leich, her husband "wouldn't let her choose her own friends her own activities."
