John Lester, spokesman for the Hearst family, told reporters shortly before 2:30 p.m. that the Los Angeles coroner's office had called the Hearst home and said Patty Hearst was definitely no t among those identified as killed in the Shootout and fire. Coroner Thomas Noguchi identified four of the five victims as Donald D. Defreeze, self-styled Field Marshal Cinque of the SLA, Nancy Ling Perry, Patricia Soltysik and William Wolfe. The fifth victim, a white woman, remained unidenti- fied late Saturday afternoon. LO S ANGELES (API - Medical examiners today ruled out the possibility that on e female body found in a suspected Symbionese Liber- ation Arm y hideo ut was newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst. The bodies of the three women and two men were removed from a house that police raided Friday ill south Lo s A fire started during a gun battle between occupants and some 500 pol- ice, and the bodies were burned beyond recognition. Police Cmdr. Peter Hagan said further details of identi- fication could come later Saturday from coroner Thomas Noguchi. I n addition to being burned, some of the bodies were badly disfigured because ammunition belts they wore around their waists exploded in the fire. The bodies were found Friday night after an hour- long siege at a small, yellow frame house-by nearly 50 0 heavily armed policemen and federal agents. The raid was the second of the day on what officials said were sus- pected SL A hideouts. No one wa s found in the first house, but authorities confiscated wigs and other items believed left behind by the terrorists during a hurried escape. The SLA. which is based in Sa n F'rancisco. claims itkid- napped Miss Hearst from her Berkeley apartme nt Feb. 4 . The 20-year-old newspaper heiress wa s last heard from April 23 in a tape-recorded message in which s he repeated an earlier renuncia- tion of her family and fiance and said she had voluntarily joined th e terrorists. In S an Francisco. John Lester, a spokesman for the girl's father, newspaper executive Randolph A . Hearst, said the FBI told Hearst one of th e dead was SL A leader Donald David DeFreeze — the se lf-styled Field Marshal Cinque of the terrorist group. FB I spokes- men in Los Angeles and San Francisco denied the report. About a dozen handbills (See Page 2, Column 6) leader, was identified as one o f the victims. Bates could not be reached fo r confirmation, and author- ities in Los Angele s denied that th e five badly burned bodies were identified. A large group o f newsmen gathered in front of the 22-room mansion in this sub- urb 15 miles south of San Francisco. LesCer said he did not expect Hearst to make any statement until today. Th e five bodies were taken from a home in south-central Los Angeles after hundreds o f police and FBI a.gents waged an hour-long gu n bat- tle with the occupants hoping to flush o ut several S LA members. A fire, believed started by tear ga s canis- ters, destroyed much of the dwelling. Lester said the Hearsts watc-hed muc h of the Shootout and its aftermath o n live television.
