cond part of Miss Hearst’s testimony
newtfcaused a rustling in the hushed cour-
hlyno omwas her qualified admission that SLA
as!i dfain Donald “Cinque” DeFreeze had
her a choice of remaining with the
|agtag band of revolutionaries or re
home.
ler questioning by Browning, Miss
_,t said DeFreeze once came into the
SB hideout and “said I coidd go home or
t: |with them. I didn’t believe him.”
to f She said DeFreeze ordered her to men-
S 0l |her offer of freedom on her tape admit-
a gcomplicity in the bank robbery.
)erse Miss Hearst testified that she and the
Hses watched live television newscasts
kn fW Ei
of the shootout between six SLA members
and Los Angeles police.
Killed in the Los Angeles house that be
came an inferno during the shootout were
DeFreeze, Miss Atwood, Wolfe, Camilla
Hall, Nancy Ling Perry and Patricia Sol-
tysik. Miss Hearst said all helped plan or
participated in the bank robbery.
With her attorney questioning her, she
said the SLA’s final stand affected her de
eply. The barrage of gunfire into the frame
structure reinforced her SLA-inspired be
lief that the FBI wanted to kill her, she
said.
She noted that newscasters were
suggesting she might be in the house.
“As a result of observing the public offi
cials firing bullets and incendiary bombs
into a house into which you were believed
to be, did that affect your belief that the
FBI would kill you?” asked Bailey.
“Yes,” was the reply from the slim de
fendant.
After the shootout, she said, she and the
Harrises fled to the Oakland-Berkeley
area.
Cross-country
After meeting sports activist Jack Scott
there, she and the Harrises separated, she
said, and Scott took her by automobile to a
Pennsylvania farmhouse where she spent
the summer of 1974. Scott’s parents ac
companied them on the trip to Pennsyl
vania and Scott returned her to the West in
the fall, she testified.
While in the East, Miss Hearst said, she
spent time with some of Scott’s friends and
met Japanese-American artist Wendy
Yoshimura, who was arrested with her last
September.
Miss Hearst testified that Miss Yoshim
ura never forced her to do anything.
Asked if she could have walked away
from Scott during their cross-country
travels, she replied, “Where would I have
gone? I didn’t feel that I would be able to go
anyplace. ”
Miss Hearst said that in the fall of 1974,
Scott took her to Las Vegas, Nev., where
his parents live, and there she was reunited
with the Harrises.
Scott’s wife, Micki, said in a statement
issued in Portland, Ore., that “it would not
be appropriate” to comment on Miss
Hearst’s testimony while the trial is in pro
gress.
Miss Hearst’s travels after the fall of 1974
were left unclear, but she admitted in re
sponse to a question that she had lived for a
time in Sacramento.
All the time. Miss Hearst said, she lived
in fear of the Harrises. They said she was an
outlaw with no place to go and forced her to
work on a manuscript for a book of the
history of the SLA replete with revolution
ary rhetoric, she said.
In the manuscript. Miss Hearst’s hand
writing often appears as she writes of her
commitment to her kidnapers and their
struggles together. Miss Hearst said she
was told she would be killed if she didn’t
cooperate on the project and that Harris
gave her a black eye on four separate occa
sions.
The day ended with Dr. Margaret Thaler
Singer, a clinical psychologist, testifying
that she could discern from the SLA tapes
that Miss Hearst was acting under duress.
Appointed by the court to interview the
defendant, she said she had spent a total of
24 hours talking with Miss Hearst and that
the taped voice “does not resemble her
spontaneous speech style.”

in igl,|ijust kept getting madder and
df-r each year. ”
B Boyters work for the federal
jn r, mment and earn about $23,000
Jpually.
■ Boyter estimates their 1975
as a married couple would be
about $10,300, regardless of whether
they filed a joint or single return. If
they were single, she says, each
would pay about $4,500, a total of
$9,000. The $1,300 difference added
up to divorce for them.
“About three years ago they gave a
tax break to single persons,” Mrs.
Boyter said. “But that doesn’t apply
to married persons filing separately.
“And then, with last year’s tax re
bate we got rooked again. If we had
been two single people we would
have gotten back about $200 each. As
a married couple we just got $100. I
think that was the last straw.
“If they don’t change the laws, I
have every intention of getting a di
vorce again this year. ”
It is possible for a couple earning
about equal salaries to save some
money by filing as single persons,
said David Estey, a spokesman for
the Internal Revenue Service’s Bal
timore office.
He said Congress passed the Re
venue Act of 1971 to bring rates for
single persons in line with the rates
for married couples.
In some income brackets, it is
cheaper to file as a single person, he
added, but there is a question
whether the tax saving is worth the
inconvenience and expense of a di
vorce.
The Boyter’s divorce in Haiti cost
about $1,100 — including air fare,
hotel and lawyer fees.
“I’m sure some people think it’s
morally wrong,” Mrs. Boyter said.
“That’s their problem. Living in sin
is very much like being married —
it’s hard to tell the difference.”
