One witness, Mrs. John Wagner, wife of a nearby farm owner, said the Block car swerved into a culvert then exploded in flames when It hit a tree, wrapping two adults and four children in red hot steel. The Van Steenberg car ripped into a utility pole and was demolished. Mrs. Wagner said she saw the crash as she turned into the farm drive, but was too far away to see what caused it. Dead were James Block, 28; his wife, Verna Mae, 24; their children, Peggy, 4; Gloria, 3; Debra, 2. and James Jr., 3 months; Dr. George Van Steenberg, 37, a dentist; his wife, Helen Nancy, 33; and their children, George Dennis, 11; Janice, 4, and Julia, 3.

Marrone told police he picked Ruth up in his mother's car at about 11 a.m. on May 17. They drove to a dirt road near t lane in Paramus and Ruth fought as Ronald ripped her clothing, Calissi said. The prosecutor said Marrone stuffed the tissue paper into her mouth to stifle her screams, tore Jtuth's white plastic belt from her waist and strangled her, and continued the attack. Marrone's statement continued that he then 'dragged Ruth's body from the car by the belt around her throat and dumped it in a thicket. The boy returned to the car, collected the girl's undergarments and books, dumped them near the body and drove home, Calissi said. He bathed and reported to class on time. 1 ROCKVILLF,, Conn.
