[handwritten] 12/6/67 18 Protesters Plead Innocent; City To Launch Investigation By LINDA ARTLIP All 18 persons who were arrested for participation in Tuesday's demonstration pleaded innocent to the charges against them in Iowa City Police Court Tuesday night. Two University students, Paul Kleinberger, G, Silver Springs, Md., and Ross J. Peterson, A2, Des Moines, who were arrested on charges of conspiracy a felony, had bonds set at $500 each by Judge Marion Neely. Kleinberger and Peterson's cases were continued until Dec. 122. Both asked for extensions so they could contact the American Civil Liberties Union in Des Moines for legal advice. Mrs. Roy ( Karen ) Harvey, Route 1, was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting an officer. Bond was set at $100 for the disorderly conduct and $300 for the charge of resisting an officer. Resisting an officer is an indictable misdemeanor. Neely continued Mrs. Harvey's case until Dec. 12 so she would have time to find legal aid. Incitement Charged Albert G. Marian, G, North Liberty, was charged with inciting a disturbance. His bond was set at $ 100. The other 14 persons were charged with disorderly conduct. Their bonds were set at $100 each. Jay H. Honohan, city attorney, suggested to the court that " in view of the circumstances of the arrests," the court should set the bonds as high as it deemed proper. Bonds for disturbing the peace arrests in the November demonstration were $25 each. The fourteen charged with disorderly conduct were: Roy Harvey, Route 1; David Salner, G, Baltimore, Md.; David Drum, G, Chula Vista, Calif.; Fred McTaggart, G, Iowa City; Barbara Schmulewitz, A3, Sioux City; David W. Grant, G, St, Louis, Mo.; Jerrold Sies, A4, Valley Stream, N.Y.; Ware R. Smith, G, Honolulu; and Dale McCormick, A3, Sigourney. Also charged were: Judith Starbuck, West Branch, wife of George Starbuck, associate professor of English and director of the Writers Workshop; Christine A. Bailey, A2, Rockville, Md.; Lory R. Rice, G, Iowa City; Jon B. Gholson, G, Iowa City; and James W. Mall, G, Iowa City. Eight Arrested Earlier Eight of those arrested Tuesday were also arrested in the Nov. 1 demonstration. They are: Harvey, Salner, Kleinbeerger, Peterson, Schmulewitz, Grant, Mrs Starbuck and Rice. Sies is the student who made a citizen's arrest on State Sen. Thomas Riley in the November demonstration. Because all 18 persons pleaded innocent, trials will be held at a later, undetermined date. Neely told those appearing in court that they would be notified of their trial dates a week before the trials. Three defendants failed to post bond and were held in Johnson County Jail. They were Kleinberger, Peterson and Miss Bailey. Honohan told the arrested demonstrators that the city would begin an investigation Wednesday to check for additional charges of a more serious nature against those already charged and some persons " not yet apprehended." Honohan said after the arraignment only that the city would investigate all charges. He would not say whether there were any specific people not arrested Tuesday still to be charged.
