(AP)--Whether 7 ' a drug could be detected a © : year after death may be the crux of Dr. Carl Coppolino's murder trial starting today. Choice of a jury--expected to be exhaustive -- was the first order of business. The 34-year- old anesthesiologist is charged with first-degree murder in the death of his first wife. Defence lawyer F. Lee Bailey and pr tor Frank Schaub have 69 prospective jurors to choose from in selecting a panel of 12 plus two alternates. The case was shifted from Sarasota, where $2 - year - old Carmela Coppolino died in her bed Aug. 28, 1965, after the de- fence and prosecution agreed that news coverage of the case made if unlikely that an un- biased jury could be seated there. The trial will be the second - in four months for Coppolino on a first-degree murder charge.

DESCRIBE SCENE A reporter from the Edmonton Journal who went to Samandre Lake where the Gauchie plane was down 850 miles north of Ed- Bob she was suspicious of the causes of both deaths. The bodies were exhumed for autopsy. A grand jury charged that Coppolino murdered his wife with an injection of a drug-- succinycholine chloride -- which paralysed,.then killed her. Cop- polino has pleaded not guilty. Mrs. Farber, who moved to Sarasota near the Coppolinos after her husband's death, tes- tified in New Jersey that she and Coppolino had been lovers.

They were working their and survived six weeks on sea They had gone there seeking two new major ground sweeps--|near French couple who spent two months stranded on a tropical island before taking their chances with the sea told of their rescue Saturday 75 miles north of here after 80 hours adrift in a water-logged raft. From a hospital bed, Capt. Henri Bourdens, 44, told Sun- day how he and his wife, Jose, 48, had "a foretaste of hell' before their rescue. They are recovering from ex- haustion and hunger. They had set out last Septem- ber from Singapore to <ail home to France in a 45-foot way between the island prov- inces of Indonesia when water- polluted fuel and cyclones put them at the mercy of the sea. The Bourdens aimed for the island of Timor, but were blown some 300 miles farther south, landing in an uninhabited area of Bathurst Island, off the northern Australian coast near Darwin. EAT SNAILS The Bourdens did not know that a Roman Catholic mission was only 40 miles away on the other side of the island. They ran out of food after 15 days snails and one small kangaroo Bourdens shot. On an expedition to try to try to find help, Mrs. Bourdens tried to swim a tidal stream. Her legs became entangled in a bandage which , had _ been wound around one of them. "I'm helpless, goodbye,"' she cried as the current carried her toward the sea. Somehow Bourdens, a poor swimmer, got her ashore. For three days, they were trapped in srosodile and in- sect - infested mangrove swamps, knee-deep in water, food. While listening to their radio, the Bourdens heard how a group of Indonesians had drifted to Darwin on a crippled boat. But their yacht was too heavily damaged to make it. "Finally, we knew we would have to risk everything on one desperate chance. I built a raft." Bourdens made the raft from sections of the yacht's mast and rigged up a bamboo mast and a storm jib from the yacht and they left "with a jerrycan of water and no food."
