Robert J. Valerie testified voluntarily for more than an hour before the Suffolk County Grand Jury impaneled to hear evidence in the fatal shooting of Boston Patrolman Schroeder today. Police roamed the corridors of the Suffolk County Superior Courthouse carrying shotguns.
James F. McLaughlin, Valerie's court appointed lawyer, said. "He has decided to cooperate with the police and the prosecution. It was his decision, not mine."
Police Commissioner Edmund J. McNamara said he has evidence linking Angela Davis, sought by the FBI for allegedly supplying guns used in a California courtroom shoot-out, with the Brandies student strike center. Davis graduated from Brandies in 1967, but had no other ostensible link with the strike center.
McNamara's statement indicated that the "radical organizations" he referred to in his Thursday press conference as affiliated with the suspects was, in fact, the student strike center.
McNamara also accused Brandies of failing to give full cooperation to the police search, terming the administrators "weak-kneed apologists."
Brandeis denied the charge and renewed their pledge to help.

Doss, an FBI agent, testified that Valerie de-the country and attack police powers. scribed the group's objectives "To break down the military structures of Doss said the group was not associated with other "New Left" groups, but did intend to use the money to finance its operations through bank robberies.

Bond, Power, and Axe are charged by the FBI in a third hold-up, this one the September 1 robbery of $6040 from the City Line Branch of the Bell Savings and Loan Association in Philadelphia, Penn.
Police said Bond held three women tellers at bay while one girl guarded the door holding a molotov cocktail and the other waited in the getaway car.
Reporters examining Boston voter registration records Thursday night discover that William Gilday, another suspect in the robbery, registered to vote at a street corner registration booth less than two hours after the Sept. 22 hold-up. "Gilday talked to the other clerk about the charms of Rye Beach," one of the registrars said. Rye Beach was the first stop on Gilday's wild chase through Massachusetts and New Hampshire the week before.
The clerk said "it is doubtful that he could avail himself of the privilege of voting on an absentee ballot" while in jail.
The Suffolk County Grand Jury handed down 12 secret indictments against the six suspects in the bank robbery. Michael Fleshier was charged with nine secret counts of accessory after the fact.
Friday, October 2:
Although charges have not been filed, the FBI linked several suspects in the Brighton robbery to a robbery in Beverly Hills, Calif., an aborted hold-up in New York and a planned heist in San Francisco. The new charges bring the number of actual robberies involving the suspects to four. Gilday, the alleged triggerman who fired the bullet killing Patrolman Schroeder, was not involved in any of the previous robberies, according to the FBI.
The Beverly Hills robbery reportedly involved the theft of $3400 from the Equitable Savings and Loan on September 14, one day before Susan Save purchased $500 worth of firearms in Portland, Ore.
