The charges were based on witness accounts thal shots fired at the Ingleword sportier soods stare were “rapid fire," icading to a conclusion they were {rom an auiomatic weapon. However, .30-caliber cartridges found at the scene could have been fired cither from an automatic weapon or a terniautomatic Weapon, the possession of which is nota federal offense. . Another factor favoring a decision to put Miss Hearst and the Harrises on triai in Los Angeles first is that it would be more practical from the prosecutors’ viewpoint. Should Patty co to trial on tke bank roboery charge ia San Francisco first, it presusiahly would necessitate sep2- rate trials for her and ine Harvises on tne Los Angelcs charges. This is so beeause the Harrises couid be expected to exercise their rizht to a speedy trial here.
