Vermont man claims he’s son of Lindbergh
HONOLULU (UPI) - A
Vermont man has filed suit in
Maui Circuit Court in an
attempt to prove he is the son
of the late Charles Lindbergh
kidnaped and supposed mur
dered more than 40 years ago.
His lawyers say that money is
not the reason for the legal
action.
“You have to remember that
the estate is not large, and
there are five other kids,”
Patty’s defense
set to rest case
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -
The last of Patricia Hearst’s
brainwashing experts has left
the stand, setting the stage for
the defense to rest its case
after a final lecture on
psychology and a look at six
blown-up pictures.
Psychiatrist Robert Jay Lit
ton of Yale completed his
testimony by telling the jury
Miss Hearst’s treatment by her
kidnapers was more brutal than
that of Chinese Communist
prisoners he interviewed years
ago in Hong Kong.
He said she was “dehumani
zed” by 60 days in a tiny closet
and suffered a “traumatic
neurosis” brought on by the
Symbionese Liberation Army’s
"coercive persuasion” tech
niques — the psychiatric jargon
for brainwashing.
“She told me, ‘I felt like a
thing in the closet,” said Liston,
the last of three psychiatrists to
testify on Miss Hearst’s behalf.
Defense attorney F. Lee
Bailey said he expected to rest
his case Monday after testimo
ny from psychologist Margaret
Singer about tests given the
heiress following her capture
and an analysis of six blown-up
pictures of the defendant he
introduced in evidence just
before the weekend recess.
The specially made pictures
were taken from bank robbery
film and show Miss Hearst with
her mouth open just as Nancy
Ling Perry shot and wounded
two customers. The defense
contends the blowups show the
look on her face was “one of
horror” and not a smile.
The prosecution plans to call
three psychiatrists of its own as
rebuttal witnesses, but the trial
should go to the jury by the end
of next week unless it is
prolonged by lengthy closing
arguments.

Most cancer cases
linked to environment
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
quality of the nation’s air and
water is improving, the ad
ministration says, but most
cancer cases still can be linked
to the environment.
The President’s Council on
Environmental Quality, in its
sixth annual report to Congress
Friday, said the incidence of
cancer in the nation has more
than doubled in this century
and 60 to 90 per cent of the
cases worldwide can be traced
to environmental factors.
President Ford, in a special
message accompanying the
report, said: “We have im
proved air quality significantly
in the United States during the
past five years.
"We are beginning to bring
our most chronic sources of
water pollution under control,
and we are improving the

“Money is not the purpose.
He has been searching for his
identity for a number of
years.”
Kenneth W. Kerwin filed suit
this week in a court on the
island of Maui, seeking recogni
tion of his identity and his
share of Lindbergh’s estate. His
estate is in probate on the
island where he died last year.
A Circuit Court hearing will
that the jury of seven women
and five men will begin
deliberating late next week
when he decided to give up
efforts to put favorable lie
detector test results before the
jury.
He told U.S. District Court
Judge Oliver J. Carter Friday
that he was “reluctantly”
withdrawing the attempt be
cause introduction of the lie
detector tests could be con
strued as a waiver of Miss
Hearst’s right against self
incrimination.
Bailey told newsmen outside
court he felt if the heiress is
convicted of the bank robbery
he has strong grounds for
appeal over her being “forced”
to take the sth Amendment 42
times before the jury. He said
he feared introduction of the
tests might be considered a
waiver of her constitutional
rights.
Liston testified that when he
examined Miss Hearst after her
capture last fall she showed
virtually all the symptoms
displayed by prisoners held by
the Chinese Communists —
priests, missionaries, teachers
and doctors — when he
examined them in Hong Kong
several years ago.
But she was treated more
brutally than most of them, he
added.
Although terror and confine
ment forced her join the bank
robbery and to follow her SLA
captors in the ensuing months,
she underwent virtually no
ideological changes during her
captivity, he said.
Under cross-examination by
prosecuting attorney David
Bancroft, Liston said Miss
Hearst told him she was under
“diminished control” by Wil
liam and Emily Harris during
the last weeks before her
capture.

However, the report said the
cost of fighting pollution contin

an expected peak level of about
2.5 per cent of the median
American family’s income is
reached in 1983.
The council said cigarette
smoking remains the biggest

such natural factors as sunlight
and radiation also are involved.
It said “much of the

Kerwin said he was raised in
New England by one of his
kidnapers after being abducted
in 1932 from the Lindbergh
mansion in Hopewell, N.J., at
the age of 20 months.
An infant’s body was later
found, and Bruno Richard
Hauptmann was convicted and
executed for the crime. Kerwin
said his kidnapers substituted
the body of another infant for

Corrales and Kerwin’s other
attorneys said they filed the
petition after more than four
years of research into their
client’s claim.
One attorney, Robert Bryan,
Birmingham, Ala., said in a
press statement that Kerwin
has relived the night of the
kidnap through hypnosis and a
process called “age regres
sion.”
“Kenneth told how his nurse
maid picked him up from the
crib, carried him down a
corridor to the backstairs and
down to the garage where she
handed him to her boyfriend,
Red Johnson, now deceased,”
Bryan said.
“I am convinced that Bruno
Hauptmann was sent to the
electric chair for a crime he
never committed, a crime that
was never committed by
anyone since there was no one
murdered in the Lindbergh
kidnaping case.”
In Burlington, Vt., Dr. John
Heisse, an ear, nose and throat
specialist, said Kerwin was his
patient. Heisse said he planned
to testify in the court case, but
he declined further comment.
Medical sources in Vermont
said Heisse was highly respect
ed in his field. The source also
said he was expert in hypnosis.
One attorney said the action
i was no surprise to the
Lindbergh family.
i
“Kerwin has tried to contact
them and offered to present
evidence of his claim, but they
have refused through their
attorneys to consider it,” he
said. “Our chief obstacle in this
t case is that the Lindberghs
• believed — and Mrs. Lindbergh
• still believes — the baby is
dead.”
