Conspiracy cases lost
WASHINGTON (AP) The Gainesville Eight trial was
the latest in a series of prosecutions of antiwar activists on
conspiracy charges. The government has yet to gain a
conviction in a major case.
As in most of the other cases, the bulk of the government's
case against the eight Vietnam Veterans Against the War
found innocent Friday was based on testimony from
informers.
Following is a capsule view of some major conspiracy
trials:
Chicago Seven: Eight antiwar activists were charged with
conspiracy to cross state lines to incite riots during the 1968
Democratic National Convention. In February 1970 a jury
acquitted them of conspiracy, but convicted them of
crossing state lines to incite rioting. In 1972, the 7th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the convictions and
ordered the case remanded to Chicago. The Justice
Department declined to renew charges against the seven.
All defendants and two lawyers will be retried in,October on
contempt charges levied against them by Judge Julius J.
Hoffman. All informers who testified had been employed by
local police agencies.
Harrisburg Seven: The Rev. Philip Berrigan and six other
defendants were accused of plotting to kidnap presidential
adviser Henry A. Kissinger, bloW up heating funnels in
Washington and vandalize draft boards across the country.
The jury deadlocked on-the charges and the judge decided
not to retry the defendants. The alleged plot was supposed to
have been hatched while Berrigan was an inmate at
Lewisburg, Pa., during spring and summer 1970. A major
witness at the 1972 trial was a prison mate of Berrigan's who
served as an FBI informer.
Camden Seventeen: Seventeen war protesters charged
with conspiracy stemming from an Aug. 1971 raid on the
draft board in Camden. The 17, including four priests, were
found innocent in May 1973. An FBI informer testified the
raid would nothave taken place "without the FBI and me."
The participation in the raid's planning by the informer
caused the judge to rule the jury could find the defendants
innocent because of "over-reaching participation by
government agents or informers."
Spock-Coffin: Four, persons, including Dr. Benjamin
Spock and Yale Chaplain William Sloane Coffin, were
convicted in Boston in 1968 of conspiring to counsel, aid and
abet young men to refuse military service.- One person,
Marcus Raskin, was acquitted. On July 11, 1969, the Ist U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals set aside the convictions of Spock
and Michael Ferber. It ordered new trials for Coffin and
Mitchell Goodwin. The government dropped the cases.
Seattle Seven: The defendants,: members of the Seattle

Liberation Front, were charged with conspiracy and
violation of the federal antiriot act in connection with a
demonstration at the U.S. Courthouse, Seattle. Government
witnesses were FBI undercover agents and paid informers.
A mistrial was declared by the judge because of courtroom
disruptions. The defendants received six months in jail for
contempt, but were released later on bail. The original
charges were dismissed in March 1973 after the government
failed to push for a new trial.
Pentagon Papers: The government charged Daniel
Ellsberg and Anthony Russo with conspiracy, espionage and
theft in connection with copying a secret study of U.S.
involvement in the Vietnam war. All charges were
dismissed in the lengthy trial after the judge ruled the
government had irreparably damaged the defendants' right
to a fair trial. The decision came after it was revealed that
Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office was broken into with the
knowledge of White House staff members. The government
announced later it would not seek to pursue prosecution in
the case.
Kansas City Four: Four antiwar activists charged in July
1971 with Conspiracy in the bombing of various sites in the
Kansas area. - The main prosecution witness was an
unindicted co-conspirator serving a 10-year prison term for
possession of a pipe bomb. His sentence was reduced to five
years for his testimony. Three of the four were found guilty
and await sentencing. A fourth had his case dismissed for
lack of evidence.
Evanston Four: Four. defendants were convicted in 1971 of
conspiracy to destroy draft records. The four admitted
pouring blood over the records. Their conviction was
overturned Friday by the U.S. District Court jury which
said a portion of the Selective SerVice Act under which the
defendants were charged is unconstitutional because it is
vague.
