SACRAMENTO, Calif. —
Lynette (Squeaky) Fromme, at her
arraignment for attempted murder
of President Ford, was ousted from
federal court Thursday when she
demanded justice for redwood trees
and told the judge: “The gun is
pointed, your honor.”
The red-robed Miss Fromme, 26,
a disciple of mass murderer Charles
Manson, demanded to speak de
spite the judge’s warning that she
might prejudice her chance for a fair
trial.
“This is more important to me at
this time,” Miss Fromme said in a
clear, calm voice over a courtroom
microphone. “I’m the one that has
to sit in the cell and worry about it.
After a second warning from U. S.
District Court Judge Thomas J.
MacBride, she launched her rambl
ing dissertation on redwood trees.
‘‘There is an army of young
people and children who want to
clean up this earth, the redwood
trees, ” she began.
The judge interrupted. She went
on: “I want you to order the corps of
government engineers to buy up
the parks . . . You have jurisdiction
over the redwood trees . . . The
important part is the redwood
trees.
“The gun is pointed, your honor,
she said firmly as the judge tried to
silence her. “The gun is pointed.
Whether it goes off is up to you. ”

Persons on
‘death list’
taken aback
Associated Press
HOUSTON — Most of the eight
Houston residents named in an al
leged assassination list revealed by a
former roommate of Lynette
“Squeaky” Fromme, said Thursday
they are puzzled as to why their
names are included.
Fromme, a member of the
Charles Manson “family,” is
charged in California with trying to
shoot President Ford. A former
roommate of Fromme, Sandra
Good, said the list contains more
than 100 pages of names of
employes of companies which her
group believes are spoiling the
earth.
Six of the Houston residents are

connected in some way with Ten-
neco, Inc., or one of its subsidiaries.
Local residents on the list are:
Wilton E. Scott, president and chief
executive of Tenneco, Inc.; Simon
Askin, executive vice president of
Tenneco; Harold Daniels, another
Tenneco vice president; Conrad
Collier, Former director of public re
lations and advertising for Tenneco
Realty, Inc., a subsidiary of Ten
neco; Omar Simonds Jr., president
of Tenneco Realty, Inc.; Charles
Webb, senior vice president of
Tenneco Realty; Phyllis Blanchard,
with the General Foods office here;
and Richard Davis, identified only
as a Houston oilman.
“I will completely ignore the
threats,” Scott said. “I won’t take
any additional protection measure,
because although I have alot of wor
ries, fear of assassination is not one
of them.
Scott laughed at the threats, say
ing he has received several threats
against his life in the past and con
siders them “a part of business life.
Webb said he couldn’t under
stand his name being on the list.
“I can understand why Mr.
Scott’s on the list, he’s the presi
dent, but I’m only a real estate
man, ” Webb said.
Collier said, “Those Manson fam
ily people are getting nuttier every
day. I can t think of any statement I
ever made concerning them. ”
A Tenneco spokesman also ex
pressed puzzlement as to why the
names were included but added
“Those names are available through
annual reports and various business
directories.”
Capt. B. G. Bond, head of the
Houston police criminal intelli
gence division, said there is no evi
dence that any of the Manson group
is operating in this area. Bond said
he has been in contact with com
pany representatives concerning
those named on the death list. Bond
declined to comment on any inves
tigation of the case.
A General Foods spokesman said
Blanchard has not been to California
and has no relatives there. But the
company has warehouses in
California and Blanchard s job in
volves routing shipments there.

The judge then ordered her re
moved from court.
Leaving quietly in the escort of a
marshal who grasped her arm, Miss
Fromme said cheerfully: I hope I
wasn’t rude.’’The judge assured her
she wasn’t, and he said he would do
everything he could to have her
tried in 60 to 90 days.
Miss Fromme is the first person
to he tried on the charge of attemp
ted murder of the President, a
charge enacted after the assassina
tion of President John F. Kennedy.
Conviction carries a maximum
life sentence.
Miss Fromme was clad in the red
“nun’s robe” she has worn in honor
of her jailed leader Manson. She
waived reading of the indictment at
her arraignment moments before
her outburst.
Her federal public defender, E.
Richard Walker, asked for more
time before entering a plea, and a
hearing was set for Sept. 19.
Another hearing was set for next
Tuesday on Walker’s request for re
duction of Miss Fromme’s hail, now
set at a million. He also asked that a
publicity “gag” order on Miss
Fromme be lifted so she can speak
freely to the news media.
The red-haired, freckle-faced
Miss Fromme was seized by Secret
Service agents last Friday after she
pointed a .45-caliber semiautomatic
pistol at Ford from a distance of only
two feet as he walked near the state
capitol.
An agent wrested the weapon
from her. Authorities said there
were four live cartridges in the
chamber.
During Miss Fromme’s cour
troom appearance, two of her sister
Manson disciples sat in the front
row of the spectator section. They
were also clad in red.
Sandra Good, Miss Fromme’s
roommate, wore a floor-length
hooded red dress identical to Miss
Fromme’s uniform. Their friend,
Susan “Heather” Murphy, wore a
red blouse and red bandana tied
around her head.
The women have said their red
garb symbolizes “the blood of the
sacrifice, an apparent reference to
Manson whom they frequently
idealize as a Christ-like figure. He is
serving a life sentence at San Quen
tin Prison for the 1969 murder of
actress Sharon Tate and others.
Miss Fromme’s ejection from
court was reminiscent of Manson s
trial, when he and three women
codefendants were repeatedly
ousted for unruly behavior. They
listened to most of their trial on
loudspeakers from nearby holding
cells.
At one point in Thursday’s pro
ceeding, Judge MacBride referred
to Miss Fromme as "a high-risk de
fendant,” a term objected to by
Walker.
“She’s still innocent until proven
guilty, the public defender told re
porters later. “High risk, to me,
means some kind of criminal per
son. She’s only been charged.
Outside the courtroom, Miss
Good, 30, told reporters: “The
court’s proceeding today shows the
court is interested in if someone did
something, rather than why. The
why — it needs to he explained.
Certain problems need to be
explained.
“If they are not explained, she
(Miss Fromme) said the gun is
pointed, Miss Good said Aslstj
whether she thought that statemej
was a threat, Miss Good abrupt
turned and walked away.
Earlier, Miss Good said:
"People’s Court” has marked for#,

fives whose firms allegedly pollute
the environment.

months to their own personal an-

Miss Good gave The Associate
Press a list of 74 names of perso®
she said were marked for death.Sle
identified them as executive
mainly in the power, lumber,oil,
food and chemical industries.
However, Miss Good has not said
she plans to kill any of them herself
She told an AP reporter earlier
“Just because I say your house's
