Married. Melvin Belli, 59, California lawyer best known for his pyrotechnics in prosecuting negligence suits until he leaped to the defense of Jack Ruby in 1964; and Patricia Montandon, 34, San Francisco model; he for the fourth time, she for the third; in Jozankei, a hot-springs resort in northern Japan, where, dressed in kimonos, they went through a Shinto ceremony.

Divorced. Ted Williams, 48, terrible-tempered baseball great; by Lee Howard Williams, 41, ash-blonde ex-fashion model, his second wife; on grounds that "he made life unbearable with constant obscene criticism" (like cursing at her and kicking the tackle box while they were fishing); after five years of marriage, no children; in Miami.

Died. Roland Reynolds, 29, grandson of Reynolds Metals Founder Richard Reynolds, who was starting his way up the family ladder as an executive in the company's subsidiary Eskimo Pie Corp.; of head injuries suffered when he accidentally walked into the spinning propeller of a twin-engined light plane he was thinking of buying; in Richmond.

Died. Captain Robert H. Morgan, 32, and Major Frank Liethen, 36, members of the U.S. Air Force's Thunderbirds acrobatic team assigned to demonstrate high-speed precision flying in air shows; of injuries suffered during practice maneuvers; near Indian Springs, Nev. Morgan, who was flying an F-100F Super Sabre with Liethen, the Thunderbirds' executive officer, as observer, was practicing "opposing half Cuban eights" with a teammate when they scraped planes in a head-on pass at the top of their outside loops. The other pilot managed to land safely; Morgan ejected, but his chute failed to open, and Liethen rode their crippled plane to his death.

Died. Kurt Bolender, 54, onetime Nazi SS sergeant who was working under an assumed name in a Hamburg brewery in 1961 when he was arrested as a war criminal, accused of having murdered some 360 inmates and assisted in the deaths of 86,000 more at Sobibor, a World War II extermination camp in Poland, charges he denied throughout his long, still uncompleted trial; by his own hand (he hanged himself in his cell, leaving a suicide note insisting that he was innocent); in Hagen, West Germany.

Died. Otto Spaeth, 69, industrialist and art patron who made a fortune in real estate and machine tools (Dayton Tool & Engineering Co.), used it to build a notable private art collection, including masterpieces by Braque, Picasso, Corot, Gauguin and Cezanne, but in recent years concentrated more on aiding lesser-known contemporary artists and working to improve church architecture through his Spaeth Foundation awards; of cancer; in Manhattan.

Died. Slip Madigan, 70, oldtime football coach, a star lineman for Knute Rockne at Notre Dame who took over at tiny St. Mary's College in Oakland, Calif., in 1921, just after a 127-0 debacle at the hands of California, quickly recruited some bruisers into the 60-man student body, taught them Notre Dame plays plus some tricks of his own (notably the "forward fumble"), and by 1926 had an undefeated team (among the victims: Army, California, College of the Pacific), which remained one of the best in the nation until 1940, when he quit football after a financial row with his trustees; of a heart attack; in Oakland.

Died. Clifton Webb, 74, stage and screen performer; of a heart attack; in Beverly Hills. Born in Indianapolis to a stage-crazy Mom (his real name: Webb Parmelee Hollenbeck), he was acting at eight (Oliver Twist), singing opera at 16, then became a Broadway dancing star (he partnered Marilyn Miller in Sunny) and actor (Blithe Spirit). In 1944 he went to Hollywood ("The land of endowed vacations," he called it) to make Laura, among other films, but was always best remembered as Mr. Belvedere, the implausible male governess in Sitting Pretty (1948), who succinctly enjoined a gurgling nine-month-old to "chew every mouthful 27 times."

Died. Roger Sherman Loomis, 78, Arthurian scholar, a Columbia English professor who spent a lifetime tracing the origins of the King Arthur legends, seeking to prove that they originated among the Celts in Wales and Ireland, rather than in France, and were spread to the Continent by Breton storytellers; of a heart attack; in Waterford, Conn. Loomis expounded his views in ten books, including Arthurian Tradition and Chretien de Troyes, which were not only erudite but Charmingly written: "We find ourselves traversing the vast wilderness of Celtic romance, like knights of old who rode all day endlong and overthwart a great forest."
