The murder charges against Spec. -1 Robert T'Smivas and (he rest were dropped Wednesday after one' of the arrested hippies, John Roberts, said he shot McSherry because "I knew somebody would have been killed." The judge dismissed the case, ruling McShcny was slain in self-defense, Policemen familiar with the situation in the- hippie district and many hippies suggest that McShciry's death was the result of tensions now existing in Ihe ni'ca between long-hairs and bikers. Most of them fear the tension might lircort more violence.

Al the time of his slaying, McSherry was undergoing a period of probation before becoming a full member of Ihc bike group.

But while columns was a focal point in Ihe animosity between the bikers anil hippies. "I don't believe ho was there on a mission for any bike firoup." said Dohcily. "But be appeared there when people were very paranoid." He said a number of residents of Ihe boarding house had Ix-'gun to a themselves recently because of two armed robberies there. Ami then two bikers were found in the house, taking money and clothing from a couple's closet, ho said.

One of the residents, who asked not to be quoted by name, recalled Ihc incident. "They lefi taking tilts guy hostage," he said. "The hostage got loose Ixit some of tlie others living there opened fire and H-oiiiideil the bikers, put 'em in the hospital." Then, lie said, (he hippies smashed out the windows of the car the two had arrived in. The hippies later got word that the biSers were atler them, lie said. "A lot mnre nuns and staff were moved in there at this lime.

There was paranoia that the house would be blown up. I mean people were staying up all night, just waiting." Ihe Crisis Control Center, which is set up by tho hippies to deal with problems in the community, intervened and worked out a pact between the hikers and the hippies. A center worker said the poet provided car, the bikers would not como again lo White Columns. "Tim next thins we know," he said. "McSlicrry shows up Ihere with a pistol in his pocket and the rest you can read on Ihc police rcpoil." He was found chilchiiis I )isl 1 in llls pocket, his face shattered by a shotgun blast.
