Dentist On Trial Again In Pitt Bribes
A McKees Rocks dentist faces a second trial in Allegheny County for allegedly bribing University of Pittsburgh basketball players to shave points in 1959. John Fridley of Sharon and Dick Falenski of Latrobe testified that Dr. Edward H. Sebastian promised half his winnings, dental school admission, scholarships, a car, and an engagement ring for $400. Fridley and Falenski discussed the offer, initially reluctant due to fear of trouble, and eventually reported it. Sebastian previously was convicted in a non jury trial but won a new trial on appeal.
