interment in the Veterans Plot in Union Cemetery. 2 Killed SAN FRANCISCO (DPI) A guard who witnessed Monday's daring bank robbery by (he Symbionese Liberation Army says newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst left little doubt she would use her gun, despite reports she appeared reluctant. His eyewitness report appeared to conflict with statements by the FBI that Miss Hearst may have been forced to take part in the robbery. The FBI reports were based on photographs taken by hidden bank cameras. The bank a Edward Shea, G6, told UPI that Miss Hearst "was pretty wild, giving out vindictives and orders and all that, saying she would shoot the first guy that moved." "There was no doubt in my mind stie would shoot," Shea said in an interview with KHON television.

Asked why, he said, "It was her stance. Her position. was so, uh, so tough. I heard her say she would shoot the first s.o.b that moved or did anything out of line." Miss Hearst was dragged from her apartment on Feb. 4 and her captors, members of the Symbionese Liberation Army, demanded a massive food giveaway program by Miss Hearst's father, Randolph W.

Hearst, president and editor of, the San Francisco Examiner. In a later tape-recorded message, Miss Hearst renounced her former life and said she was joining forces with the SLA. The robbery occurred Monday at a Hibernia Bank branch in a quiet neighborhood near Golden Gale Park. Five men and four women made up the robbery team. Two persons were shot and wounded i the getaway.

After studying the 1,200 pictures made by hidden cameras i the robbery, U.S. Attorney James L. Browning said, of Miss Hearst: "It is clear from the photographs a she may have been acting under duress." nut, the prosecutor said, if il turned out Miss lle.irsl was a willing participant, she would be charged with robbery. Bank Manager James Smith said he witnessed the holdup from a tiny window in a second- floor vault in the bank. He said he saw "these two gals i what I were machine guns." He said Miss Hearst "was pointing her gun in the direction of the people on the floor." Either of the women, he said, appeared to be "ready to shoot the guns." A federal warrant was issued Tuesday for Donald DeFrcezc, 30, an escaped convict and the suspected leader of (he SLA, on a charge of armed robbery.
