CSJ scheduled the pre-trial hear- for Mar. 3. The plaintiffs gC1 ba responsible at that time for. presenting evidence, against SDS to support their complaint. If sufficient evidence is shown, CSJ will then set a trial date. The complaint requests the CSJ "assess such fine or establish rch probationary conditions as all be within the jurisdiction of the Central Student Judiciary, for the purpose of prevention of similar violations in the future." The maximum penalty CSJ could impose would include a $250 fine and a four month suspen- con of the recognition of SDS as a student organization. Such a suspension would involve with- drawal of University office space and all use of facilities for SDS. The complaint states that on Jan. 29, "in room 128E of t h e West Engineering building, D r. aeter S. Kay, a representative of the duPont company had been as- signed by the Engineering Place- ment Service to intervie w inter- ested students with regard to em- ployment." SGC regulations prohibit "in- dividual or mass acts that destroy sniversity property or significant- ly interfere with the free move- ment of persons or things, on the campus," as well as "intentional disruption of University functions by depriving others of needed quiet, light, heat or other physical conditions of work." r The complaint claims that SDS actions "prevented students wish- ing to participate in the regular voluntary interview function with a representative of duPont from' being able to exercise their con- stitutional rights of free speech and freedom of assembly." It further charges "that 'the ac- ions of the defendant, both as a group committing mass acts and as individuals invited to commit acts under the sponsorship of Stu- dents for a Democratic Society, significantly interf erred 'with the free movement of persons on the! campus." The complaint seeks to establish that the disruption was in fact sponsored by SDS, citing adver- tiqing by handbills bearing SDS identification and an SDS adver- tisement in The Daily, Jan. 28 in- viting; campus participation "to: ect against the duPont'recruiter." rIn addition to scheduling thea pre-trial hearing, CSJ ordered that SDS make answer to the com- plaint by Feb. 24. 30 women. protest GE recruiters' Stink bomb' left behind by chanting group By W.

Two other subpoenaed witnesses failed to appear today - COnspiracy defense files for mistrial, CHICAGO 04~ - Defense attorneys filed a motion yester- day asking that jury deliberations be halted and a mistrial declared for the Chicago 7 defendants.r Attorneys William M. Kunstler and Leonard I. Weinglass filed the motion with the trial court clerk and asked for im- Imediate action. It was not known when a ruling by Judge Julius J. Hoffman might come. W einglass said the motion gave no reasons to support a mistrial. "But," he told reporters, "it's obvious that the jury is not able to reach a decision after four days of delibera- tions." The motion was filed after, the jury had deliberated more than 40 hours. Earlier, Kunstler said, "it would be a miracle" if all the defendants' were acquitted, but that he expect- ed "compromises." "Some of the defendants will be convicted, others will be acquitted or the jury will hang deadlock on all of them," Kunstler told newsmen after the Jury had been out more than 35 hours. The 'Jury of 10 women and two men retired Saturday afternoon to consider a verdict. The defend- ants are charged with conspiring to incite rioting at the time of the 1968 Democratic National Con- vention in Chicago.! In addition, each is charged with a substantive count: two w i t h teaching the making of incendiary devices and five with actually crossing state lines with i n t e n t to incite rioting. The jurors must consider t h e testimony of 190 witnesses w h o appeared during the trial which lasted nearly f i v e months. They also took with them to the jury quarters about 300 exhibits. While the jury was closeted on the 23rd floor of the Federal Bldg., several hundred supporters of the defendants marched around t h e building. Some carried signs reading "im- peach Hoffman" and "resist sum- mary injustice."

Draft resister seized during Quaker vigil By CHRIS UHL Yesterday at 5 p.m. ten plainclothes lawmen arrived at the Ann Arbor Quaker Meeting House in three cars to arrest Peter Blood. Blood, a Quaker, was indicted by the Federal Grand Jury because he refused to perform alternate service for the army. His arraignment is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. today, but his arrest was not expected to occur until after the arraignment. Blood had publically announced that he would not attend the arraignment. He informed authorities that he could be located for arrest at the Quaker Meeting House. Blood entered the meeting house on Monday night.

Kunstler and Leonard Weinglass, another defense attorney, al so were sentenced for contempt Judge Hoffman stayed their jail- ing until May 4 to allow them to carry out an appeal of the con- tempt sentences for their clients and themselves. Before filing for a mistrial, Kunstler had said yesterday he was considering going before Hoff- man with a request that the jury be called to the courtroom for a progress report. "We would like to know if the jury is deadlocked or if there is a chance of their reaching a ver- dict," he said. If convicted on both the con- spiracy and substantive counts, each defendant could be sentenc- ed to a maximum of 10 years in prison and fined $20,000. The seven defendants are: David T. Dellinger, Rennard C. Davis, Jerry C. Rubin, Abbie Hoff- man, John R. Froines, Thomas E. Had'n _ and L ee Weiner. The crowd threw paint bombs and broke windows in the court- house and in a 10-block area of the Seattle business district. Tear gas grenades which police said were thrown by demonstrators explod- ed when part of the crowd rushed the courthouse. Riot-equipped polise used night- sticks to disperse the crowd, esti- mated by newsmen at 1,000. The demonstration was organ- ized by the Seattle Liberation Front and the Young Socialist Al- liance, protesting jail sentences imposed on seven Chicago conspir- acy defendants and their two at- torneys for contempt of court. Similar protest demonstrations in connection with the contempt sentences were held Monday in New York City and Berkeley, Calif- A police station bombing, second in four days and latest in a 2%- year series in the San Francisco area, was also tentatively linked by investigators yesterday with de- monstrations against the Chicago 7 conspiracy trial. Police reported "no headway" in search for the perpetrators and found no pattern in the wide-rang- ing explosive assaults. Yesterday morning across the bay in Oakland a fused package of 24 sticks of explosive was found against the wall at a paint plant. Police said the 'spot evidently was chosen at random. In Berkeley, incendiary bombs exploded Monday night without damage at two department stores during a demonstration by youths against contempt sentences in the Chicago 7 case.
