The article ty ABBIE HOFFMAN stated in part as follows: "Tuesday, September 17, was a hell of a day. : I returned to Chicago with my attorney, JERRY LEFCOURT, to stand trial for the infamous four-letter vord on my forehead. I wanted to clear it up because I expected trouble at Customs when I attempted to leave to go to Prague. As we stepped off the airplane in O'Hare Airport, we.were met by six of Chicago's finest. I was immediately handcuffed and errested on a charge of jumping bail even though it was obvious to everyone I had only come back to Chicago to appear in court that afternoon. "I was questioned in a special room in the - airport and when asked to empty my pockets, I produced a pen knife I had purchased the day before in New York. It is a knife that is legal in every state of the union. The cops couldn't figure out how to open it, so dubbed it a switchblade. After I was taken to court to stand trial for the WORD and to be arraigned on a bail jumping charge (these charges were dropped), I was again arrested by the Chicago police for carrying a concealed weapon. When bail was produced on this charge, I was then arrested by the FBI and charged with ‘crime aboard an aircraft’. "The FBI is the only agency in the country that arrests you and makes it seem like they are doing you a favor..ss FBI: You are now being placed under arrest for crimes aboard an aircraft. . . ME: Are you kidding? All I did was goose the stewardess, what crimes? -FBI: Our instructions are to tell you only that. We must warn you that anything you say may be used against you. We'll just settle this before the U.S. Commissioner, ABBIE, it won't take long. We are sorry to inconvenience you this aenae waye ME: Can I call my wife and tell her I'll] be home late from ew ee gm
