No Crime In Miss Good’s Death List

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 12 – A Sacramento prosecutor says Lynette Fromme’s roommate, Sandra Good, apparently has violated no laws in issuing a list of corporate officers and their wives who Miss Good says are marked for death for polluting the earth.

Chief Deputy District Attorney Geoffrey Burroughs says his office has investigated Miss Good’s statements to the press since Miss Fromme’s abortive assassination attempt on President Ford last Friday but has found nothing to indicate Miss Good is “involved in a conspiracy to commit these crimes.”

“This type of thing receives a good deal of attention,” Burroughs says, “and lends itself to a bit of overreacting on the part of people.

“Obviously, we don’t intend to stop the machinery of this office and go running amok trying to piece something together, but we’re not discounting it by any means.”

Paul Young, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Sacramento office, says he, too, is trying to determine if any federal laws have been broken by Miss Good.

In Los Angeles, a spokesman for Attorney General Evelle Younger said the attorney general’s staff had reached a preliminary conclusion that the issuing of the list alone did not constitute a crime.

Last Friday, the afternoon of the day Miss Fromme allegedly pointed a .45-caliber automatic at President Ford in Capitol Park, Miss Good first revealed that an organization she calls the “International People’s Court of Retribution” has singled out the corporate officers for assassination.

Since then, in rambling and often disjointed discussions with reporters, she has said various numbers of polluters are on the assassination list.

But in her series of interviews Miss Good has consistently avoided saying she is personally involved in the plots.

Yesterday, she sat in the audience as Miss Fromme was arraigned on the federal charge of attempting to assassinate the President.

During the courtroom appearance, U.S. District Judge Thomas MacBride threatened to have Miss Fromme restrained after she made a bizarre plea “to save the redwood trees.”

The small, red-haired follower of mass murderer Charles Manson did not enter a plea after her attorney asked for and received a delay from the judge.

After being warned that her statements could jeopardize her case, Miss Fromme told MacBride:

“There is an army of young people and children … trying to clean up the redwood trees.”

MacBride, who had cautioned that he would accept “no political statement,” tried to interrupt her but she continued and the judge threatened her with physical restraint.

Ignoring the warning, she then said in a loud voice, “We want to save the redwood trees. Cutting them down is like cutting off our arms and legs.”

Over MacBride’s efforts to quiet her, she shouted: “The gun is pointed, your honor. The gun is pointed. Whether it goes off is up to you.”

Later in the proceeding, Miss Fromme quietly told MacBride. “I didn’t mean to be rude.”

He told her she was not rude.

MacBride set Sept. 19 as the date for Miss Fromme to enter her plea and Sept. 16 for a hearing on a motion by federal public defender E. Richard Walker for a reduction in Miss Fromme’s $1 million bail.
