Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — Patricia Hearst says her mind was swamped with revolu tionary rhetoric and her body ravaged by rape and other physical abuse when she: robbed a bank under fear of execution. Miss Hearst wept frequently as she tes tified before the jury for the second time Tuesday — a day on which the trial judge issued a memorandum saying the news paper heiress had failed to convince him she was “a prisoner whose every move was made under the watchful eye” of her Sym- bionese Liberation Army kidnapers. MissPIearst, sipping water and using tis sues to wipe away her tears told her jurors that she entered a Hibernia Bank branch on April 15, 1974, certain that SLA chieftain Donald “Cinque” DeFreeze intended to gun her down in front of surveillance cameras. She watched a replay of the bank robbery and, when asked by defense counsel F. Lee Bailey why she frequently glanced over her shoidder at DeFreeze, replied, “I had thought that even though I would go in and do this, that he was going to kill me anyway inside the bank.” She said she reacted with disbelief when the SLA told her they were going to rob a bank and she would participate. They said they needed money, she testified, and that DeFreeze “wanted me to be wanted by the FBL” The basis of Miss Hearst’s defense is that she participated in the holdup under threat of death. The jurors listened intently Tuesday as the defendant testified between replays of the tapes she said she recorded in blind terror. She told them of being forced to have sexual intercourse with DeFreeze and SLA member Willie Wolfe in the cell-like closet where she was kept blindfolded. Bailey said Miss Hearst would continue her saga today, her third day on the stand, as she moves into what he concedes is the “stickiest point” in her defense — a shoot ing spree that led indirectly to the deaths of DeFreeze, Willie Wolfe and four other SLA members in a shootout. The defendant has admitted spraying a Los Angeles sporting goods store with rifle fire in what she claimed was an SLA- induced reflex to free two SLA members from a bungled shoplifting attempt. A pistol left on the sidewalk and a teen ager taken hostage overnight plus other clues led Los Angeles police to the shoot out in which the six SLA members died on May 17, 1974. The jury will see a videotaped newscast of the fiery afternoon, Bailey said. U.S. Atty. James L. Browning Jr. won a crucial victory last Wednesday when U.S. Dist. Judge Oliver J. Carter allowed the Los Angeles activities and Miss Hearst’s tape-recorded words as “Tania” to be ad mitted into evidence. Browning has contended the 21-year-old newspaper heiress acted of her own free will when she robbed the bankaji month later, acting alone, us machine gun to rescue SLA William and Emily Harris.
