Federal grand jury to probe Hearst role in bank robbery
A federal grand jury will decide if kidnapped Patricia Hearst was a willing participant in a nine person raid on the Hibernia Bank branch, which yielded 10 960 dollars and left two bystanders shot. U S Attorney Browning said the focus is the voluntariness of Hearst in the Monday holdup. Saxbe, US Attorney General, called Hearst a common criminal and said she was not a reluctant participant. Randolph Hearst criticized Saxbe as engaging in speculation. The case also involves SLA leader Cinque and related arrests in Alameda County. Public zoning and planning matters in Bennington Vermont were discussed, including flood plain zoning and town growth.
