A. r-k. ••«aMMa^i*^k*w«M^,,.,....,. " SA N FRANCISCO (AP) The federal bank robbery trial of newspaper heiress Pa- tricia Hearst was one of the most widely publicized court proceedings in recent his- tory. Ke y figures in the trial were U.S District Court Judge Oliver J Carter de- fense lawyer F Lee Bailey and U.S Atty James L. Browning, the government prosecutor Th e verdict climaxed a courtroom drama described by one defense attorney as "the trial of the ce ntury." The unquestioned star of the drama was Miss Hearst her- self, telling at last her own terrifying tale of nearly two years in the underground. Frequently tearful an d gasping for breath, she re- called in vivid detail he r nightmare months of captiv- ity locked in a hot stuffy clos- et where she said she was raped tortured and threaten- ed with execution. "I was really scared," she told her jurors, insisting that these threats of death moti- vated her avowals of con- version to the terrorist Sym-. bionese Liberation Army. Sh e called her own tapere- corded words of revolution lies anddisavowed her secret life as Tania' of the under- ground The tapes were forced 6y her captors, she said, and h er gun-totin g role in the bank robbery was a pose to please them. It was a unique defense. She never denied that she had walked into th e Hibernia bank one spring morning and helped rob it Nor did she deny it was her voice which bragged of the robbery on a taped "communique." What she did deny wa s that she did any of it willingly. He r defense was coercion, and she insisted that she be- lieved even as she cradled her gun in the bank that she might be executed at any mo- ment But the government, in its effort to convict Miss Hearst of armed bank robbery, told a different story. All but ignor- ing her kidnaping,Browning used the heiress' ow n words as the most damaging evi- dence against her. JURY SAYS GUILTY - Patricia Hearst wa s found guilty Saturday of the Hibernia, Calif., bank robbery by a jury that deliber- ated only 12 hours. Miss Hearst, Who had entered the courtroom smiling minutes be- fore, showed no immediate emotion when the verdict wa s announced. In this photo.

(UPI Photo) lieve their own eyes and ears -that the films could be in- terpreted in Miss Hearst's fa- vor and the tapes were care- fully coerced lies. The trial wa s rocked sever- al times by outside occur- rences most notably the terrorist bombing of the fa- bled Hearst Castle. San Sim- eon Although her jury was se- questered Miss Hearst took advantage of a Browning er- ror and managed to tell them from the witness stand of the bombing and other threats on her life by the New World Lib- eration Front. Otticiais have said they know little about the NWLF including its size The group has claimed responsibility for several bombings in the Sa n Francisco area Even now, Miss Hearst said tearfully. 'I think there's a good chance I could be killed " On the tape recording she insisted was forced, Miss Hearst's jurors heard her de- clare. "On April 15. my com- rades and I expropriated ?10,660.02 from the Sunset Branch of the Hibernia Bank . . My gun was loaded and at no time did any of my com- rades intentionally point their guns at me." The prosecution had other heavy weapons in its arsenal of evidence There were bank surveillance films which clearly showed Miss Hearst in the guise of the bewigged "Tania," training her sub- machine gun on bank custom- ers. An d there were the words of a youth who quoted the fugitive Miss Hearst as con- fessing the bank robbery to him. "She said she was a will- ig participant," testified Tom Matthews. Bu t Bailey set out to con- vince jurors they could not be- Her testimony, designed to prove her innocence, left some unanswered questions, including her activities for nearly a year after she re- turned to California from flight to the East Coast. But it wrote a partial ending to the bizarre story of political kidnaping and conversion which ha d captivated the world during the young heir- ess' mysterious months on the run. Many eyewitness accounts were offered after the abduc- tion bu t none as dramatic as the victim's ow n recollec- tions from the witness stand. Miss Hearst weepingly re- membered the knock at her door and a dark form asking to use the phone, then the ' three abductors rushing in. "Bitch, you'd better be qui- et." she said her chief tor- mentor shouted as she was gagged and blindfolded, her hands tied behind her back Sh e remembered hearing the screams of her lover, gun- shots and more screams as she was stuffed in the trunk of a car and taken away "I was struck in the face and I lost consciousness," she recalled tearfully "I came to and I was being drag- ged down the stairs . . Some- body grabbed me and then I wa s in the trunk of a car " In her excruciating three- day narrative. Miss Hearst, almost constantly in tears, re- called the nightmare scenes of her captivity - beginning with her imprisonment in two small closets which became her torture chambers. In those closets, she said, she was raped by two SLA soldiers. William Wolfe and Donald Cinque' DeF reeze. and was constantly tor mented with threats of in- stant death 'I figured they'd have to kill me." sh e said at one point. "I had been there too long and'. . I knew too much anyway." wa y inside the bank, and 1 just wanted to get out of there." she said On Feb. 19. with the jury absent, Miss Hearst invoked the 5th Amendment 19 times as Bailey tried to bar ques- tioning about her travels in the 12 months before she was arrested Carter later told her she had to answer the questions because she waived her 5th Amendment rights by taking the stand in her own defense After about a month in the closet at a Daly City hideout, she said the SLA brigade moved to San Francisco, tak- ing their hostage along in a garbage can. "I was just kind of hunched up in the garbage can," Miss Hearst recalled. "They dropped it a couple of times when they took it out ot the car." The second closet, she said wa s even smaller than the first - one-foot-seven-inches wide by five-feet long. Again, she was kept blindfolded, al- lowed out only to use the bath- room and for once-a-week baths with a ski-masked SL A "soldier" standing guard. In case Miss Hearst's de- scription was not vivid enough Bailey decided ju rors should see the closets for themselves With court in re cess for Washington's Birth- day, th e jurors, judge, attor- neys and the defendant herself were taken on a strange safari through the rainy streets of San Fran- cisco to the scenes of her cap- tivity Distraught and stunned by the crush of cameramen and curiosity seekers Miss Hearst was rilshed in and out of the two buildings. Jurors showed no reaction to the ad- venture, but Miss Hearst nearly fainted On Feb 23. she defied Car- ter and with th e jury present invoked the 5th Amendment 42 times when asked about the missing year As she sat on the witness stand, fashionably attired in a new navy pants suit, a de- mure white bow at her neck. she projected an image of genteel breeding alien to the likes of' Tania ' Th e fashionable new ward- robe and solemn appearance were part of a concerted de- fense effort to erase from ju- rors' memories the laughing Patty who had waved a clenched fist of defiance at the world when she was cap- tured Sept. 18. 1975. Her arrest at a San Fran- cisco apartment began a new and more bizarre chapter 01 heg saga life as a defend- ant and jail inmate. Upon her arrival at San Mateo County jail. Patty Hearst was asked her occupa- tion. 'Urban guerrilla." the heiress replied. At he r trial, th e prose- cution seized on this declara- tion as proof of her true alle- giance to violence. T he defense explained it away as a last show of compliance by a terrified victim IK'S SMILING U.S. Prosecutor James L.

S he said DeFreeze, the black ex-convict chosen to head the ragtag S LA, gave her an ultimatum " He said, fight or die, that I would either have to stay with them and join up with them, or I'd be killed an d that I better start thinking about it ' So she went to the bank, she said, to save her life, bu t still 1 cared she might bo killed by Iho dreaded Cinque I thought even though 1 would go in and do this, that he was going to kill me any The clenched-fist picture wa s admitted "in evidence, and jurors were told to draw their ow n conclusions. Bu t they were reminded by the de- fense. verbally and visually. that this defendant was "a Hearst," heiress to a legend and to vast wealth. Each day of her trial, ju rors could glance at the front row of the court and spot the family parents, sisters and occasionally cousins sup- porting the woman who had once denounced them as "pig Hearsts " During her daughter's most sordid recollections, Cath- erine Hearst would wipe away a tear and Randolph Hearst his face a portrait in pain would shield his eyes with one hand The anguish of Patty s par- ents was a key element m Bailey's defense plans. He sought jurors with children. hoping they would identity and think, "But ior the grace of God, that might be my daughter " Before they were empa- neled the jurors ha d followed news coverage avidly and knew not only ot the bank rob- bo ry b ut also of Miss Hearst's participation in an- other (Time H shootoul at ,1 Las Angoloa sporting goods ev structured a defense which would, in effect give an answer to both cases He hoped that the Los Angeles charges would be eradicated by an acquittal in San Fran- cisco. Browning, in hi s prose- cution case used the Los An- geles escapades as evidence of the defendant's lawless in- clinations He showed that she waited in a van while fel- low fugitives William and Emily Harris went shop- lifting, fired a submachine gun to provide hem with cov- er and made a getaway with them, hijacking a car in the process Ironically Miss Hearst ad- mitted all of it Her defense, again, was simple but un- precedented she was a vic- tim. brainwashed and coerced, so terrorized by the Harrises that she acted as a robot manipulated by fear S he portrayed th e Harrises as guardians ot the SLA credo who abused her and in - sisted she continue allegiance even after six ol their com- rades died in a fiery Los An- geles Shootout. The survivors wh o shared Miss Hearst's fugitive months did not testify Most said they feared self-in- crimmation But the ghostly images ot Miss Hearst s dead captors pervaded th e trial. Their faces were seen in the eerie bank films: their voices were heard on the SLA tapes, and their violent deaths were re- enacted in videotape footage of the flaming Shootout He r relationship with one ot them became a crucial is- sue. Miss hearst swore that William Wolfe, known as "Cujo." raped her while she was captive in the closet. Sh e denied her own taped eulogv which declared Wolfe "the gentlest, most beautiful ma n I ve ever known ' Coaxed by Browning to ad- mit she had affection for Wolfe she displayed her tal- ent for using the prosecutor's questions to her own advan tage Q.

Classified With Miss llearsi still lac- in g truil m that incident Bail But the key issue was Miss Hearst's mental attitude to- ward the SLA. and in the trial's waning days both sides paraded in experts to tell ju- rors their discoveries about the workings ot Miss Hearst's mind. Three psychiatrists hired by the defense corroborated Miss Hearst s witness stand account of suffering They portrayed her as a prisoner oi war' who was now suffer ing from 'survivors' syn drome " The government, in an ex- tensive rebuttal case, called it s own experts. One of them. Dr. Joel Fort, portrayed Miss Hearst as a "true believer" in the SLA and a queen of the terrorist tribe T he doctor who inter viewed the heiress for some 15 hours, said he believed she w as converted to the SLA less than on e month after he r kidnaping and willingly joined other terrorist "sol- diers" in the bank robbery and in sexual encounters.

Hearst Case

"Trial ofCentury'Starred PattyCA M E*DA iVTr^fo/™ "/^ . A. r - k . ••«aMMa^i*^k*w«M^,,.,....,. „ "SA N FRANCISCO (AP)

The federal bank robberytrial of newspaper heiress Pa-tricia Hearst was one of themost widely publicized courtproceedings in recent his-tory.

Ke y figures in the trialwere U.S District CourtJudge Oliver J Carter de-fense lawyer F Lee Baileyand U.S Atty James L.

Browning, the governmentprosecutor

Th e verdict climaxed acourtroom drama describedby one defense attorney as"the trial of the ce ntury."The unquestioned star of thedrama was Miss Hearst her-self, telling at last her ownterrifying tale of nearly twoyears in the underground.

Frequently t e a r f u l an dgasping for breath, she re-called in vivid detail he rnightmare months of captiv-ity locked in a hot stuffy clos-et where she said she wasraped tortured and threaten-ed with execution.

"I was really scared," shetold her jurors, insisting thatthese threats of death moti-

vated her avowals of con-version to the terrorist Sym- .bionese Liberation Army .

Sh e called her own tapere-corded words of revolutionlies anddisavowed her secretlife as Tania' of the under-ground The tapes wereforced 6y her captors, shesaid, and h er gun-totin g rolein the bank robbery was apose to please them.

It was a unique defense.She never denied that she hadwalked into th e Hiberniabank one spring morning andhelped rob it N or did shedeny it was her voice whichbragged of the robbery on ataped "communique."

What she did deny wa s thatshe did any of it willingly.He r defense was coercion,and she insisted that she be-lieved even as she cradledher gun in the bank that shemight be executed at any mo-ment

But the government, in itseffort to convict Miss Hearstof armed bank robbery, told adifferent story. All but ignor-ing her kidnaping, Browningused the heiress' ow n wordsas the most damaging evi-dence against her.

JURY SAYS GUILTY - Patricia Hearst

wa s found guilty Saturday of the Hibernia,Calif., bank robbery by a jury that deliber-ated only 12 hours. Miss Hearst, Who hadentered the courtroom smiling minutes be-

fore, showed no immediate emotion whenthe verdict wa s announced. In this photo.Miss Hearst is shown holding a weapon dur -ing the April 15.1974. holdup. (UPI Photo)

lieve their own eyes and ears-that the films could be in-terpreted in Miss Hearst's fa-vor and the tapes were care-f u l l y coerced lies.

The trial wa s rocked sever-al times by outside occur-rences — most notably theterrorist bombing of the fa-bled Hearst Castle. San Sim-eon Although her jury was se-questered Miss Hearst tookadvantage of a Browning er-ror and managed to tell themfrom the witness stand of thebombing and other threats onher life by the New World Lib-eration Front.

Otticiais have said theyknow little about the N W L Fincluding its size The grouphas claimed responsibilityfor several bombings in theSa n Francisco area

Even now, Miss Hearsts a i d t e a r f u l l y . 'I t h i n kthere's a good chance I couldbe killed "

On the tape recording sheinsisted was forced, MissHearst's jurors heard her de-clare. "On April 15. my com-rades and I expropriated?10,660.02 from the SunsetBranch of the Hibernia Bank

. . My gun was loaded and atno time did any of my com-rades in tentional ly pointtheir guns at me."

The prosecution had otherheavy weapons in its arsenalof evidence There were banksurveillance f i lms whichclearly showed Miss Hearstin the guise of the bewigged"Tania," training her sub-machine gun on bank custom-ers.

An d there were the wordsof a youth who quoted thefugitive Miss Hearst as con-fessing the bank robbery tohim. "She said she was a will-ig participant," testifiedTom Matthews.

Bu t Bailey set out to con-vince jurors they could not be-

Her testimony, designed toprove her innocence, leftsome unanswered questions,including her activities fornearly a year after she re-turned to California fromflight to the East Coast. Butit wrote a partial ending tothe bizarre story of politicalkidnaping and conversionwhich ha d captivated theworld during the young heir-ess' mysterious months onthe run.

Many eyewitness accountswere offered after the abduc-tion bu t none as dramatic asthe victim's ow n recollec-tions from the witness stand.

Miss Hearst weepingly re-membered the knock at herdoor and a dark form askingto use the phone, then the 'three abductors rushing in.

"Bitch, you'd better be qui-et." she said her chief tor-mentor shouted as she wasgagged and blindfolded, herhands tied behind her back

Sh e remembered hearingthe screams of her lover, gun-shots and more screams as

she was stuffed in the t runkof a car and taken away

"I was struck in the faceand I lost consciousness,"she recalled t ear fu l ly "Icame to and I was being drag-ged down thestairs . . Some-body grabbed me and then Iwa s in the trunk of a car "

In her excruciating three-day narrative. Miss Hearst,almost constantly in tears, re-called the nightmare scenesof her captivity - beginningwith her imprisonment in twosmall closets which becameher torture chambers.

In those closets, she said,

she was raped by two SLAsoldiers. William Wolfe

and Donald Cinque' DeFreeze. and was constantly tormented with threats of in-stant death

'I figured they'd have tokill me." sh e said at onepoint. "I had been there toolong and'. . I knew too muchanyway ."

wa y inside the bank, and 1just wanted to get out ofthere." she said

On Feb. 19. with the juryabsent, Miss Hearst invokedthe 5th Amendment 19 timesas Bailey tried to bar ques-tioning about her travels inthe 12 months before she wasarrested Carter later toldher she had to answer thequestions because she waivedher 5th Amendment rights bytaking the stand in her owndefense

After about a month in thecloset at a Daly City hideout,she said the S LA brigademoved to San Francisco, tak-ing their hostage along in agarbage can.

"I was just kind of hunchedup in the garbage can," MissHe a r s t r e c a l le d . " Th e ydropped it a couple of timeswhen they took it out ot the

car."

The second closet, she saidwa s even smaller than thefirst - one-foot-seven-incheswide by five-feet long. Again,she was kept blindfolded, al-lowed out only to use the bath-room and for once-a-weekbaths with a ski-masked SL A"soldier" standing guard.

In case Miss Hearst's de-scr ip t ion w as n o t v i v i denough Bailey decided jurors should see the closets forthemselves With court in recess for Washington's Birth-d a y , th e jurors, judge, attor-n e y s an d t h e d e f e n d a n therse l f were taken on astrange safari through therainy streets of San Fran-cisco to the scenes of her cap-tivity

Distraught and stunned bythe crush of cameramen andc u r i o s i t y seekers MissHearst was rilshed in and outo f the two buildings. Jurorsshowed no reaction to the ad-venture, but Miss Hears tnearly fainted

• On Feb 23. she defied Car-ter and with th e ju ry present

invoked the 5th Amendment42 times when asked aboutthe missing year

A s she sat on the witnessstand, fashionably attired ina new navy pants suit, a de-mure white bow at her neck.she projected an image ofgenteel breeding alien to thelikes o f ' Tania '

Th e fashionable ne w ward-robe and solemn appearancewere part of a concerted de-fense effort to erase from ju-rors' memories th e laughingPatty who had waved aclenched fist of defiance atthe world when she was cap-tured Sept. 18. 1975.

Her arrest at a San Fran-cisco apa rtment began a newand more bizarre chapter 01heg saga — life as a defend-ant and jai l inmate.

Upon her arrival at SanMateo County j a i l . Pa ttyHearst was asked her occupa-tion. 'Urban guerrilla." theheiress replied.

A t he r tr ial , th e prose-cution seized on this declara-tion as proof of her true alle-g i a n c e to v i o l e n c e . T hedefense explained it away asa last show of compliance bya terrified victim

IK'S SMILING — U.S. Prosecutor James L. Browningiisplays a broad smile during a meeting w i t h th e pressSaturday al te r a ju ry found • Patricia Hearst guilty ol thei ibe rma Bank robbery Defense Atty F Lee' Bailey,lowever. said We are not too thrilled about it, and said he

would appeal the conviction (UPI Photo)

Back in court, the pale slen-der defendant told of her re-lease from the closet abouttwo months after her kidnap-ing She was christened 'Tan-la" then, she said, and wastold she would help rob abank.

S he said DeFreeze , theblack ex-convict chosen tohead the ragtag S LA, gaveher an ul t imatum " H esaid, fight or die, that I wouldeither have to stay with them

and join up with them, or I'dbe killed an d that I betterstart thinking about it '

So she went to the bank, shesaid, to save her life, bu t still1 cared she might bo killed byIho dreaded Cinque

I t h o u g h t even t h o u g h 1w o u l d g o in a n d d o t h i s , t h a th e was going to k i l l me a n y

The clenched-fist picturewa s admitted "in evidence,and jurors were told to drawtheir ow n conclusions. Bu tthey were reminded by the de-fense. verbally and visually.that this defendant was "aHearst," heiress to a legendand to vast wealth.

Each day of her trial, jurors could glance at the frontrow of the court and spot thefamily — parents, sisters andoccasionally cousins — sup-porting the woman who hadonce denounced them as "pigHearsts"

During her daughter 's mostsordid recollections, Cath-erine Hearst would wipeaway a tear and RandolphHearst his face a portrait inpain would shield his eyeswith one hand

The anguish of Patty s par-ents was a key element mBailey 's defense plans. Hesought jurors with children.hoping they would identi tyand t h i n k , "But ior the graceof God, that might be mydaughter "

Before theywere empa-neled the jurors ha d followed

news coverage avidly andknew not only ot the bank rob-bo ry b ut a l s o o f M i s sHearst ' s part icipation in an-other (Time H shootoul a t ,1

ev s t r u c tu r e d a d e f e n s ewhich would, in effect give ananswer to both cases Hehoped that the Los Angelescharges would be eradicatedby an acquittal in San Fran-cisco.

Browning, in hi s prose-cution case used the Los An-geles escapades as evidenceof the defendant 's lawless in-

clinations He showed thatshe waited in a van while f e l -

low fugitives William andEmily Harr i s went shop-lifting, fired a submachinegun to provide hem with c o v -er and made a getaway withthem, hijacking a car in theprocess

Ironically Miss Hearst ad-mitted all of it Her defense,again, was simple but un-precedented she was a vic-t i m . b r a i n w a s h e d a n dcoerced, so terrorized by theHarrises that she acted as arobot manipulated by fear

S he portrayed th e Harrisesas guardians ot the SLAcredo who abused her and in -

sisted she continue allegianceeven after six ol their com-rades died in a f iery Los An-geles Shootout.

The survivors wh o sharedM i s s H e a r s t ' s f u g i t i v emonths did not testify Mostsaid they feared self-in-crimmation

But the ghostly images otMiss Hearst s dead captorspervaded th e t r i a l . Theirfaces were seen in the eeriebank films: their voices wereheard on the SLA tapes, andtheir violent deaths were re-enacted in videotape footageof the flaming S hootout

He r relationship with oneot them became a crucial is-s u e . Miss hearst swore thatWil l iam Wolfe, known as"Cujo." raped her while shewas captive in the closet. Sh edenied her own taped eulogvwhich declared W ol fe "thegentlest, most beautiful ma n

But the key issue was MissHearst's mental atti tude to-ward the S L A . and in thet r ial ' s waning days both sidesparaded in experts to tell ju-rors their discoveries aboutt h e w o r k i n g s o t M i s sHearst's mind.

Three psychiatrists hiredby the defense corroboratedMiss Hearst s witness standaccount of suffering Theyportrayed her as a prisoneroi war ' who was now suffering from 'survivors' syndrome "

The government, in an ex-tensive rebutta l case, calledit s own experts. One of them.Dr. Joel Fort, portrayed MissHearst as a "true believer"

in the SLA and a queen ofthe terrorist tr ibe

T he d o c to r w h o i n t e rviewed the heiress for some15 hours, said he believed shew as converted to the SLAless than on e month after he rk i d n a p i n g a n d w i l l i n g l yjoined other terrorist "sol-diers" in the bank robberyand in sexual encounters.

He said she spoke t avora b l . v of Wolfe and two otherSL A members and Fort f e l t

she had formed affectionatebonds" with them
