Special to the Daily
CHICAGO - Kristi A. King, a 23
year old juror with family connections
to VISTA, was dismissed yesterday
from the Chicago Eight trial jury when
she said that because of a threat sign-
ed "The Black Panthers" she could not
be impartial.
Miss King was replaced on the jury
by the first alternate, Kay S. Richards,
22.
The threatening letter, which stated
simply, "You are being watched," was
delivered to her home Tuesday morn-
ing while Miss King was in the court-
room. Her parents opened the letter,
which was addressed to "The Kristi
family," and called the FBI.
The matter came to the court's at-
tention when the FBI informed U.S.
Atty Charles Foran, the prosecutor in
the case, of the letters existence.
Miss King learned of the threat only
yesterday morning, when Julius Hoff-
man handed her a photocopy of the
document and asked her is she had ever
seen the original. To the surprise of
judge, lawyers, defendants and specta-
tors, she answered "No."
The judge then asked Miss King if
she could continue, after having seen
the document, to be a fair and im-
partial puror. "No sir," was her reply.
The defense protested to the judge
that "Your honor has revealed this let-
ter to this juror . . . and caused her to
answer as she did." The objection was
overruled when Assistant U.S. Atty.
Richard D. Schultz replied, "None of
us knew whether she had seen the let-
ter."
The defense also objected to Judge
Hoffman's order to Miss King that
she not speak to anyone about the
trial, but the objection was overruled.
Defendent David Dellinger told re-
porters that eight defendents objected
strongly to "her being gagged by the
judge." He said that "we are prepared
to offer a lawyer to Miss King, if she
should want to fight" the order period.
A reporter of a prestigious Eastern
,daily expressed his willingness to at-
tempt an interview of Miss King in
order to bring about a test case, pend-
ing the approval of his editor.
A second juror, Ruth L. Petersen, who
had received an identical letter and
called it to the attention of the judge,
remained on the jury after declaring she
Lihicagi
believed her judgement would rem
impartial.
A third woman, Mildred Burns,
questioned because she had learned
the letter from Mrs. Peterson. M
Burns also remains on the jury.
Defense attorney William Kuns
had earlier moved for the court to lh
an evidentiary hearing on defe
charges that the threatening leti
were sent by the FBI or another gove
ment agency. The motion was den
by Judge Hoffman.
Kunstler .proposed that the ju
subpoena six witnesses:
-Defendant Bobby Seale, to tes

EDWARD W. BROOKE (R-Mass), the only black member of

Democrats and Republicans, Brooke was the first senator to publiclyI
call for Nixon to withdraw Haynesworth's name.
In other action yesterday on the Haynesworth nomination, the
Senate Judiciary Committee postponed until next week at the earliest
a vote on Haynesworth.
Sen. Birsch Bayh (D-Ind) charged that he was gettng a "run-I

Collins trial
By IRA HOFFMAN
Robert W. Ryan, defense attorney for accused murderer
John N. Collins, said yesterday at a hearing in Circuit Court
that he knew of a witness whose testimony would contradict
allegations that Collins killed Karen Sue Beineman last
July 23 between noon and 3:30 p.m.
Ryan first made a motion for discovery which would
grant the defense access to the prosecution's evidence. Ryan
told Circut Judge John W. Conlin, "We know of a witness
and the prosecutors knows of a witness that will testify that
Mr. Collins was at his place of business at a crucial time."
Ryan said the name of his witness- is Joe Patton of the
J. and J. Cycle shop in Ypsilanti. Ryan has been unable to
contact Patton for several--

SEN. J. W. FULBRIGHT (D-Ark) broke a nine month virtual
silence on the Vietnam war and blasted GOP Leader Hugh Scott's
(Penn.) call for a 60-day moratorium on criticism of Pres. Nixon's
war policy.
Sen. Fulbright said "I object to the policy that we should all keep
quiet and hope for the best."
Sens. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass) and Frank Church (D-
Idaho) joined Fulbright in his criticism of the moratorium.
Sen. John G. Tower (R-Texas) and Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz)
warned of the dangers of a withdrawal. Tower said "It becomes in-
creasingly apparent, that the intensification of military pressure on
} our enemies is the only thing that will bring them to terms.

According to a reported from
the Detroit Free Press, Patton
said Collins came in to the cycle
shop at approximately 1:00 p.m.
and stayed "about an hour". Pat-
ton also has given a statement to
the police and the defense attorn-
ey saying that he and two me-
chanics saw Collins in the shop
on July 23.
Diane Goshe, owner of Wigs by
Joan shop, testified at the pre-
liminary examination last Aug-
ust that Collins had picked up
Miss Beineman at 12:15.
"The critical time of the mur-
der was 12:15 to 3:30 p.m.," said
Mike Devine, the State Supreme
Court official in charge of dissem-
inating information for the trial.
"If we are not allowed to in-
spect anyrphysical evidence, it
shouldn't be used at the trial,"
Ryan said.

Ryan's motion. "If they {t h e
defense can pinpoint a specific
claim" Conlin explained that he
would then grant the motion.
Ryan then asked for all in-
formation concerning any blood
or hair samples and other scien-
tific data which might be used
as evidence against Collins.
Conlin ordered Williams to give
Ryan all scientific evidence the
prosecution has.
Conlin suspended further dis-
cussion until 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.
