Falcon fugitive depressed
about being back in jail,
threatens hunger strike
United Press International
SEATTLE — Christopher
Boyce, the fugitive spy with a fas
cination for falcons, is depressed
about being back in jail, won’t eat
and refused to appear before re
porters in handcuffs because it
would have been like “tethered
flight,” his attorneys said.
Boyce, 28, the subject of the
best-selling book, “The Falcon
and the Snowman, ” faced a federal
magistrate Monday to hear the
Tm not going to stand
before God and the
world in chains’ —
Christopher Boyce.
charges against him for escaping
19 months ago from a federal pris
on at Lompoc, Calif., where he
was serving a 40-year sentence for
espionage.
The convicted spy balked from
attending a press conference later
in the day, however, when federal
marshals attempted to handcuff
him before bringing him into a
room to deliver his statement.
“It goes back to his falconry,
being free as a bird,” attorney
George L. Chelius, Newport
Beach, Calif, said. “It’s like a
tethered flight. It’s almost unbear
able to, if you want to say, a free
spirit.”
Boyce’s attorneys attempted to
persuade him to reconsider and
deliver his statement, which was
described as “philosophical” in na
ture. But the son of an ex-FBI
agent exercised his prerogative
not to talk.
“I’m not going to stand before
God and the world in chains,”
Boyce told attorney William
Dougherty ofTustin, Calif. “Drop
the whole thing.”
Boyce, convicted in 1977 of sell
ing vital satellite secrets to the
Soviet Union, was only a week
away from getting a pilot’s license
and flying away from his remote
hideout on Washington’s Olympic
Peninsula when he was caught by
federal agents at a drive-in re
staurant Friday night in Port
Angeles.
Dougherty and Chelius, the
two attorneys who defended
Boyce at his spy trial, had differing
opinions as to their client’s mood.
“He’s jovial — the same Chris
we knew before,” Chelius said.
“But he seems to be much more
serious than before.”
“He’s depressed,” Dougherty
said. “Surprised and depressed.”
The New York Times, in Tues
day’s editions, said prison officials
reported Boyce had refused to eat
since his arrest and indicated he
intended to commit suicide by
starving himself. The officials said,
if necessary, they would obtain a
court order for him to be fed in
travenously.
Boyce was not too depressed to
give his attorneys a wry account of
his capture, however.
“He said he was sitting in his car
eating a hamburger and reading a
flight manual,” Dougherty said.
“Two marshals came up on either
side of the car with pistols drawn.
One marshal said: Drop that ham
burger.’ ’
His arrest ended a global man
hunt that began when Boyce
escaped from Lompoc using a
technique taken from a Clint East-
wood movie. He hid in the prison
yard during a work detail and an
accomplice put a papier mache
dummy in his bunk, giving Boyce
time to go over the wall.
He showed up later on the
Olympic Peninsula where he
worked as a logger and a fisherman
and eventually bought part-
interest in a fishing boat, possibly
using loot from a series of robber
ies in Washington, Oregon, Idaho
and Montana — an angle that FBI
agents are investigating.
Boyce allegedly told a fellow
convict before his escape he had
buried classified CIA documents
in Arizona, the Times said, but
federal officials refused to com
ment on reports they were investi
gating the possibility he had sold
some of the buried documents to
the Soviets since his escape.
During Boyce’s brief court
appearance Monday, U.S. Magis
trate Philip Sweigert set a Sept. 3
hearing date at which prosecutors
must prove he is the escaped spy.
If convicted, Boyce faces the pos
sibility of an additional five years
being tacked on to his 40-year
sentence.
As a formality, Sweigert estab
lished a $500,000 bail for Boyce,
but, even if it were raised, the

captured fugitive would merely be

al marshals to the Bureau of
Prisons.
Boyce was transferred late
Monday from the U.S. Court
house in Seattle to the Snohomish
County Jail in Everett, 30 miles
north of Seattle, for security
