THE BATTALION
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 11, 1976
3 witnesses still claim
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — De
spite grants of immunity, three
persons who reportedly saw a
cheerful Patricia Hearst in a
Symbionese Liberation Army
hideout are battling to stay off the
witness stand at her bank rob
bery trial.
The prosecution planned to
call the three again today at Miss
Hearst’s trial. Its attempt to elicit
testimony Tuesday was lost in a
protracted legal wrangle.
U.S. Atty. James L. Browning
wants the witnesses to testify at a
special evidentiary hearing out
side the presence of the jury that
Miss Hearst apparently stayed
with the SLA of her own free
will.
U.S. District Court Judge
Oliver J. Carter signed a limited
form of immunity for the three
Tuesday, but the first witness cal
led after Carter’s action, Jamel-
lea Mumtaz of Oakland,
promptly invoked 5th Amend
ment protection against self
incrimination.
Attorneys for the other two
witnesses, Ronald Tate and Re-
timah X, both of San Francisco,
said each intended to plead the
same constitutional right.
All three were called to testify
as rebuttal witnesses to counter a
move by defense attorney F. Lee
Bailey to suppress as evide ce a
taped admission from Miss
Hearst that she voluntarily
joined the SLA in the April 15,
1974, bank robbery.
Bailey also does not want the
jury to hear the testimony of
Thomas Dean Matthews, a 19-
year-old Los Angeles area man
once held captive by Miss Hearst
and SLA members William and
Emily Harris.
Matthews testified at the hear
ing Tuesday that Miss Hearst
told him she freely joined the
SLA and showed skill and exper
tise with semi-automatic
weapons.
Carter agreed to a form of im
munity that does not prohibit
prosecution in the future against
the three who refused to testify
but insures that their testimony
at Miss Hearst’s trial cannot be
used against them.
It was learned the three were
neighbors in the predominantly
black section of San Francisco
where the SLA hid for several
months after kidnaping Miss
Hearst on Feb. 4, 1974.
SLA leader Donald “Cinque”
DeFreeze reportedly introduced
them to Miss Hearst, and they
said she proudly told them of her
revolutionary exploits with the
terrorist group. She seemed
happy, they said.
Shortly before the bank rob
bery, Miss Hearst said in a tape
BARGAIN?
..only a professional knows
Today, all diamonds have
determinable value. If a stone
has any worthy quality to it,
a jeweler can obtain the
standard price for it and
doesn’t need to sell it to you
•“wholesale.” Many so-called
“bargain” diamonds have first
been marked up in order to
be “slashed down.” It costs
no more to buy your diamond
from a reputable firm with
qualified personnel to proper
ly evaluate the stone you
select. As members of the
American Gem Society, you
may be assured of both our
reliability and proven know-
ledge.

that she had joined the SLA. She
renounced that tape during tes
timony Monday as she did all
SLA communiques containing
her voice.
She said she feared for her life
from the time she was abducted
until her arrest last Sept. 18.
