Judge Accuses
Air Force of
i'Gestapo Acts'
; Mountain Home, Idaho-UPIi-A
young airman, cleared by a
"civil court of the knife -slay-"ings
ol a mother and child be
cause of another man's con
'fession, was held by Air Force
authorities today for the same
killings.
: A federal judge Wednesday
Accused the Air Force of using
J gestapo methods" in handling
.the murder case against Air
Jnan Gerald Martin Anderson,
4, father of three children.
. Anderson claimed he was
coerced by Air Force investi
gators at Mountan Home Air
Torce Base into confessing to
3he slayinKs last April 10 of
Mrs. Nancy Joy Johnson, 22,
nd her son, Daniel, 2.
; The airman was cleared of
he charges Monday by an
idaho court after it investi
gated the confession of Theo
dore Thomas Dickie, 21, who
-told newsmen that he and not
"Anderson killed the Johnsons.
Dickie, being held in Ada
bounty jail in Boise for the
Slaying of a 10-year-old girl,
Wednesday was charged by
-Elmore county authorities
Jiere with two counts of first
.degree murder in the Johnson
Tlayings.
' Dickie said he hoped to free
'Anderson so the airman could
''sue the authorities for false
Srresl."
J But hours after he was clear
ed ' y the civil court, Andcr-
on was arrested by Air Force
Authorities and charged with
The slayings again Tuesday
jiight. He was placed in the
Stockade at the air base. An
Air Force spokesman said
Anderson needed psychiatric
care and charged that the slay
ings had been premeditated.
The base commander, Col.
Charles A. Allard, appeared
before a federal court judge
in Boise Wednesday to answer
why Anderson was being held
by the military when cleared
by the state.
Judge Chase A. Clark ac
cused the Air Force of "Ges
tapo methods" in its handling
of the murder charge against
Anderson. Then he delayed
the hearing for a week while
the FBI goes over the case to
determine if Anderson's civil
rights had been violated by
(he Office of Special Investi
gation interrogation.
Clark' said that he under
stood it was the policy of the
Air Force to turn such matters
over to civil authorities for
prosecution - "Unless they
have some ulterior motive."
He said he could not under
stand why the Air Force had
brought murder charges
against Anderson for the sec
ond time since the airman had
been cleared in a state court.
"It's kind of an insult to the
state court for them to be in
here at this time," the judge
said, of the military. "This
was decided by the state court
It is plain the state court re
leased him under a very
strong order because there
was no evidence he committed
the crime."
Clark said the case had
roused a good deal of feeling
in this area.
Clark then impounded all
Air Force records on the case
and said that if Anderson was
taken from the air base it
would be in violation of the
court's orders.
At a news conference later,
Allard said an "informal"
military investigation failed
earlier this week to clear
Anderson. He said the Air
Force felt it was its duty to
carry the matter to comple
tion. Student Appeals
In Behalf of
Woman Inmate
Salem - lUPIl - A 24-.vear-old
University of Oregon student
called on Gov. Mark Hatfield
Wednesday and asked him to
commute the death sentence of
Jcannace June Freeman. 21.
The student, George Nea
voll, Eugene, is an acquaint
ance of Miss Freeman's. He
said he met her in Eugene
prior to the 1961 slaying of
Larry Jackson. 6. who was
thrown into central Oregon's
Crooked River Gorge.
It was for this slaying that
the Freeman woman was con
victed of first degree murder.
Miss Freeman won a stay of
execution in Jefferson County
Circuit court at Madras last :
week, pending a possible ap
peal of her conviction to the j
U. S. Supreme Court. j
Neavoll. a junior majoring
In political science, said he
told Hatfield that Miss Free- j
man was not to blame for her :
actions. '
Neavoll also said it was un
fair for Miss Freeman to cct 1
a death sentence while her ,
companion, Mrs. Gertrude Nu- i
nez Jackson, got a life sen-'
toncc. Mrs. Jackson was con
victed of first degree murder. ;
for the slaying of the dead ;
boy's sis'cr, Martha Mae Jack-!
son. 4.
The governor indicated he,
has made no decision yet in !
the Freeman case. Neavoll!
