A Bank Is Robbed, A Cop Is Killed, A Movement Is Hung

The student strike focused Bond's activities. He began hanging around the student strike center, walking into rooms where he was not wanted, running errands, and always, always carrying around a tape recorder. At one meeting, he rose to admonish students to "work within the system." The prevailing feeling at the student strike center was that Bond was a cop, but so what?

He was, in the words of one student, "the most ego-maniacal person I ever met. Everything that got in his way he would try to destroy. I don't think he had one friend on campus. People didn't like him." In the words of another, "at best, very neurotic. He was your typical neurotic schmuck."

His actions, many persons said, had a distinct sexual overtone. He was constantly soliciting different girls, including for a while Susan Saxe and, over the summer, Kathy Power. "I once went to a party last year and Bond was there," one student said. "He had his hands on every girl in the place. He was just obnoxious. A lot of girls complained."

Through the administration, police learned that Bond had been seeing a psychiatrist and, during the strike, had been told to discontinue his activities. "I really like the way the administration is playing up to Bond's dependability and that the psychiatrist said he was OK," one student said. "Everybody who knew him knew he was sick."

(The second week of the search for the five suspects in the bank robbery-cop slaying will be covered in tomorrow's CRIMSON: Bond and Gilday are captured; the search for Miss Power and Miss Saxe continues with few clues; the number of robberies involved grows; the police name Michael Fleischer in a warrant and promise that other persons will be named later; the "radical organizations" remain a mystery.

"You know, this may be the biggest trial since Sacco-Vanzetti," one Boston newspaper editor confided.)
