People don’t mind paying taxes as long as they’re working.”
Brand, who looks 15 years younger than her 48 years, had an
amiable relationship with Sault Ste. Marie police until re
cently.
But the publicity she received by agreeing to pay taxes on
income from her 4-year-old brothel has resulted in her arrest
— twice — for operating a house of ill repute.
The thrice-married, now-divorced Brand said her recent
arrests are the result of bad publicity the Police Department
got when her tax story hit the newspapers.
Before that, she said, they were amused by the operation.
The bordello is a few blocks from the Soo Locks, two of the
world’s three longest locks, which separate Lake Superior and
Lake Huron, on the St. Mary’s River, the dividing line be
tween the United States and Canada.
Thousands of tourists visit the town of 15,000 every year to
examine the locks and crowd the dozens of souvenir shops,
restaurants and motels in the downtown business district.
Even though Brand pays income tax, prostitution is illegal in
Michigan.
“Maybe I’m what you call a publicity seeker,” she said,
gesturing with a hand bearing rings on every finger. “But I had
no intention of embarrassing the police chief.
“I always got along OK with the police until just now.”
“All (the police) wanted was overtime pay. My taxes pay
their salaries. I resent them wasting my tax money that way.”
Brand claims local residents are amused — not offended —
by her business and said many of her patrons live in town.
And she is convinced she’s good for the local economy
because tourists who come to her bordello also bring money to
spend elsewhere.

SAFEWAY and a little kit more
ethics because Bailey was planning
to write a book about the case.
Bailey agreed to testify but said,
“Her lawyers are misleading her.
She got a whopping good deal.”
Hearst’s current attorney, George
Martinez, sought a new trial while
his client was in prison, but U.S.
District Judge William Orrick re
jected motions of an improper de
fense. The appeals court upheld
Orrick’s decision, but directed the
judge to conduct the new hearing
and investigate a possible conflict of
interest charge.
Hearst, convicted in a 1976 trial,
served 22 months in prison before
her sentence was commuted by
President Carter.
Martinez has argued among other
things, the Boston attorneys failed to
investigate whether the terrorist
group kept Hearst under “involun
tary” hallucinogens after kidnapping
her from her Berkeley apartment in
1974.
Bailey was hired by newspaper
publisher Randolph A. Hearst to de
fend his daughter when she was
arrested in 1975 after spending more
than a year as a fugitive with the
SLA.
Hearst said Bailey had talked to
her about writing a book before her
trial started. The attorney conceded
he signed a contract with G.P. Put
nam, a book publisher, shortly after
the trial ended.
The appeals court said the book
contract “created a potential conflict
of interest.” Whether this “ripened
into an actual conflict of interest”
should be determined in a district
court hearing, the ruling said.
The court also said Bailey’s inten
tion of writing a book on his client’s
trial appeared to violate the Amer
ican Bar Association’s code of ethics.
Martinez said Bailey’s book pros
pect influenced his decision to put
Hearst on the stand in her own de
fense. Hearst refused to answer
questions about her underground
life, which weakened her case with
the jurors, said Martinez.
The lawyer said also the book con
tract influenced Bailey not to seek a
delay in the trial or to move the case
Out of San Francisco because he
wanted it to be a highly covered sen
sational trial.
Woman
denied
custody
United Press International
CHICAGO — A woman, whose
three children were taken away
from her because of her live-in
boyfriend, says her fight to regain
custody isn’t over despite a setback
in the U.S. Supreme Court.
“I know in my heart that I’ll get my
children back,” Jacqueline Jarrett
said after learning of the court’s 6-3
decision to refuse to hear her appeal.
Jarrett said it is diflult to explain
the court’s action to her daughters,
who are 16, 14 and 11 and live with
her ex-husband.
She said, “They don’t see us as a
live-in couple. They see us as just a
couple.”
The Mount Prospect, Ill., woman
has been trying to regain custody of
the children for more than three
years.
Her attorney, Michael Minton,
said he planned to file a civil rights
suit in U.S. District Court in Chica
go in an effort to bring constitutional
issues in the case before the U.S.
Supreme Court.
“This is a mother fighting for her
children. It is not marriage on trial, it
is not morality on trial,” Minton said.
“A mother has had her children
taken away and she hasn’t been told
why.”
Jarrett had asked the high court to
consider her appeal of a decision by
the Illinois Supreme Court, which
said her living situation was a “disre
gard for existing standards of con
duct” and might be morally danger
ous for her daughters.
Minton said he was encouraged by
the vigorous dissents of three jus
tices, including Justice William
Brennan, who said there was nothing
to support a conclusion that “di
vorced parents who fornicate, for
that reason alone, are unfit or
adversely affect the well-being and
development of their children. ”
Hustler held
not libelous
United Press International
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Franklin
County Common Pleas Court Judge
Frederick T. Williams has ruled in
favor of Larry Flynt and Hustler
magazine in a $10 million libel suit
filed by William Loeb, publisher of
the Manchester (N.H.) Union
Leader.
The suit stemmed from an article
in the magazine entitled: “William
Loeb — the Pursuit of Power.”
Williams says the issues raised in
the case have already been litigated
in earlier trials in U.S. District
Courts in New York and in Mas
sachusetts.
Loeb lost in each of the earlier
trials.
Attorney Thomas Tyack says he
will confer with Loeb before decid
ing whether to appeal the ruling by
Williams.
