A grand jury indicted Dr. David Ucker of Grant Hospital on charges of aggravated murder, complicity, and unlawful transaction in weapons in connection with the 1977 death of Dr. Walter Bond. Ucker surrendered to authorities when he heard of the indictment and later in the day pleaded innocent in Franklin County Common Pleas Court to all three counts.

Judge Craig Wright set a $10,000 surety bond, a $10,000 appearance bond and a $50,000 recognizance bond for Ucker. Ucker, who also is a practicing attorney, was accompanied to the arraignment by attorneys Ellen Wristen, with whom he shares a law office, and Leonard W. Yelski of Cleveland. Ucker resigned from his post as a deputy Franklin County coroner two weeks ago. The Columbus Dispatch reported that Grant Hospital officials are considering relieving Ucker of his chairmanship because of the indictment.

Bond, a black who lived in a fashionable East Side neighborhood, was shot once in the head and once in the chest. His widow, Marie, left Columbus with her two sons last summer and moved to- New Orleans.

The black community in Columbus has been pressing Franklin County Prosecutor George Smith to solve the slaying. His office once indicted the wrong man for the murder. The falsely accused man was dismissed after prosecutors talked to DeLeo. Earlier this week, Dr. Donald Plotnick, a Columbus podiatrist, and Ucker, who is white, appeared before the grand jury investigating the slaying.

Plotnick spent 11 months in prison at Lewisburg, the same time that DeLeo was imprisoned there. Plotnick had been convicted on a federal charge of dealing in firearms and ammunition without a federal license.

County State See: John Fox or Tom Carter Phone. Phone: (419) 698-1571 Is your home a fire trap? Stop and think before you answer. Are you taking your safety for granted, assuming that it will always be someone else who's hit not your family? The Department of Housing and Urban Development says more than 6,000 people die every year as a result of fires in the home. Being prepared for emergencies can mean the difference between minor damage and total destruction. Your first concern in case of fire should be human life.

"Putting out the fire in order to save your personal property is secondary," says a HUD guide. "Don't fight a fire if there is any chance of being trapped." If the fire is a small one, unlikely to spread, you can tackle the flames yourself. Fire extinguishers can be valuable, but different types of fires require different types of equipment. A pressurized water extinguisher, for example, can be used to put out fires involving things like paper, wood, cloth, rubber and plastics. It is not suitable for use on oil, appliance, cooking grease or gasoline fires.

Read directions carefully before you buy. Some household fires can be put out, or at least contained, relatively easily; others require a call to the experts. Here, from HUD, are some suggestions for handling some of the most common problems: -Food in the oven: Close the oven door and turn off the heat. -Smoke from an electric motor or appliance: Pull the plug or otherwise turn off the current. If there are flames, pour on water after the electricity is off.

-Smoke from a television: Keep clear of the set; the picture tube may burst. Call the fire department and shut off power to the circuit. -Deep fat fryer: Turn off the heat and, if you can get close enough without getting burned, cover with a lid. Do not try to move the appliance or put out the fire. Call the fire department.

-Clothing fire: Don't run. Lie down. Roll over and over. Try to get the clothing off, if you can do so without pulling it over your head. A HUD guide, "People and provides information on a wide variety of safety topics.
