Bank Robbery Trial Short Star Witness PHILADELPHIA (UPI) The government had a problem today at the start of the bank robbery trial of self-styled radical Susan E. Saxe --its star witness was missing. The witness, Robert Valeri, 26, of Somverville. escaped from the Chester County Prison in West Chester. last Wednesday.

Ms. Saxe. 26, of Albany. N.Y.. on the FBI's 10 most wanted list for nearly five years, was facing trial on charges lodged in connection with a $6,240 robbery of a Philadelphia bank Sept.

1. 1970. She also is accused, along with Valeri. of a $26,000 robbery of a Boston bank in which a policeman was slain in 1970. Valeri, who already has pleaded guilty, was serving a sentence for a Chicago bank robbery when he was brought to Pennsylvania for the trial.

He was to be paroled Aug. 20. when he would have been sent to Massachusetts to serve a 10 to 15-year sentence for the Boston robbery. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffery Miller, heading the prosecution, would not say what effect Valeri's escape would have on the trial.

The government has charged Ms. Saxe and two accomplices engineered the robbery of a Bell Savings and Loan Association office here. The accomplices, indicted in 1971, are Stanley R. Bond, 26. of Cambridge, and Katherine Ann Power.

26. of Denver. Bond, convicted of the holdup, accidentally blew himself up making a bomb in Walpole, State Prison in 1973. Ms. Power, also on the FBI's 10 most wanted list, is being sought in connection with the Boston holdup, which occured three weeks after the robbery here.

Patrolman Walter Schroeder was shot and killed during the Boston holdup, which authorities charged was done by five persons. Ms. Saxe was arrested on a Philadelphia street March 27. She has been held since then in lieu of $350,000 bond.
