Dever Frees Student From Fugitive Charge

A decree by Governor Dever freed Bert C. MacLeech 3G yesterday from a fugitive from justice charge on which he has been in jail since last May. The charge had specified that he was wanted in Tacoma, Washington for perjury alledgedly committed when he sought a confirmatory divorce there.

MacLeech, through his attorney, insisted that he was being pursued by the Pierce County prosecutor because of his political views. MacLeech is now living with his fourth wife in Boston.
