DI? 5/11/72

Investigation continues into Tuesday camper fire.

Iowa City police were still investigating the ownership of a camper which was pushed from a pickup truck and burned Tuesday night during an anti-war protest here. 
A man arrested for arson in connection with that fire was being held in the Johnson County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bond. He is Mark D. Peters, 20 of North Liberty. 
Also in jail in lieu of $10,000 bond was Douglas D. Peterson, 21, Davenport, charged with malicious injury to a building. 
Anne Garza said the Johnson County Public Information Service (JCPIS) collected funds for bail and paid fines or bonds for five of the 20 people arrested Tuesday night on disorderly conduct charges. 
Those who pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in Iowa City Police Court Wednesday were John E. Ryan, 20, 308 Church Street; John M. Bjarnstad, 19, 228 1/2 East College Street; Ronald A. Rodgers, 20, N205 Hillcrest; William Grimmer, 19, 308 Rienow 1; and Lawrence Wimmer, 21, 701 Mayflowe. They were fined $105 each.
Those pleading innocent to disorderly conduct were Charles Eastham, 31, S332 Currier Hall; Thomas L. Hennings, 27, 115 North Dubuque Street; Willard G. Eggers, 22, no address given; Richard McGlaughlin, 24 , Muscatine; William A. Bourlind, 18, N206 Hillcrest; Stephen Beek, 20 S420 Currier Hall. 
Also Benjamin Clark, 19. North LIberty; Kenneth D. May, 20, 718 Giblin Drive; Clarke F. Rieck, 19 and Ellen Rieck, 24 both of 24 North Van Buren Street; Gail Rodgers, 19. 449 North Riverside Drive; Roger Day, Davenport; John E. Van Blaircome, 19, Fairfield; and Robert T. Yeager, 21, 4611 Lakeside, two counts of disorderly conduct; and a juvenile from Iowa City.
Bond was set at $105 each and all were released Wednesday. Eggers was also fined $35 for unpaid parking tickets, and May was also charged with obstructing an officer. 
Ms. Garza said most of the people collecting money for JCPIS had been in jail previously. 
"I don't like to spend nights in jail and I don't like anyone else to have to," she said. 
Ms. Garza said some people collecting bail money had participated in the protest Tuesday night and felt they were as guilty as those arrested. 
She did not know how much money had been collected, but said "We've got a whole bunch of money here now."
Peters and Peterson will probably ask the Johnson County District Court today to reduce their bonds, Ms. Garza said. She said bail funds are still being collected and all contributions over $10 are being recorded in case they may be returned.
