The boys were thrown into the creek from a car that

parents.

Patty, others indicted
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - A
grand jury has pared down the
California charges against Pa
tricia Hearst and her SLA
companions to 11 counts bear
ing penalties up to life in prison
—a tactical victory for
prosecutors.
In San Francisco, FBI
sources said Miss Hearst,
already facing bank robbery
charges there, had been posi
tively linked to a bank robbery
and killing in Sacramento that
could bring a death sentence.
The legal maneuvers Thurs
day began to have their effect
on the Hearst family.
“The media has tried Patty
and found her guilty, so why
not everyone else,” complained
her mother, Catherine Hearst,
in Redwood City. “The govern
ment wants to pin everything
on her in order to get rid of
everything in one lump.”
The Harrises were scheduled
for arraignment today on the
indictments against them and
have a constitutional right to
demand their trial begin within
60 days.
Hearst attorney Terence Hal
linan told reporters his client
was “under a lot of pressure”
Sparky Folds
to strike a plea bargain in
which she would testify against
the Harrises. He said that
would “finish her off. It would,
take away the last of her,
pride.”
The grand jury indictments
supercede 19 state charges filed
earlier against Miss Hearst and
18 against each of the Harrises.
The indictments move the
case from Municipal to Superi
or Court, eliminating a prelimi
nary hearing at which defense
lawyers could get an early
example of testimony by
prosecution witnesses and
cross-examine them. They will
not know the testimony against
Miss Hearst by 15 witnesses in
the secret grand jury proceed
ings until transcripts are
prepared in about two weeks,
and will not be able to cross
examine witnesses until the
trial itself.
Miss Hearst and the Harrises I
were indicted on charges of
kidnaping for the purpose of
robbery — which carries a
possible life prison term —
simple kidnaping, six counts of
assault with a deadly weapon
and three of robbery. Bail was
continued at $500,000.
The charges stem from an
alleged two-day crime spree
through the Los Angeles area
by Miss Hearst and the
Harrises, which set off a
massive police deployment that

companies had been “ill
informed” about the amount of
leaf to be sold in Georgia this
week.
About 20 million pounds were
sold, he said, which was about
five million more than expec
ted. As a result, Cone said,
buyers and contracted labor in
Georgia would need to work
most of next week to get the
sold tobacco off warehouse
floors.
