Young Airman Held On Killing Charges MOUNTAIN HOME, Idaho (UPI)—A young airman, cleared by a civil court of the knifeslayings of a mother and child because of another man’s confession, was held by Air Force authorities today for the same killings. A federal judge Wednesday accused the Air Force of using “Gestapo methods’’ in handling the murder case against Airman r; erald Martin Anderson, 24, father of three children. Anderson claimed he was coerced by Air Force investigators at Mountain Home Air Force Base into confessing to the murders last April 10 of Mrs. Nancy Jov Johnson, 22, and her son, Daniel, 2. The airman had been cleared of the charges Monday by an Idaho £ourt after it investigated the confession of Theodore Thomas Dickie, 21, who told newsmen that he and not Anderson killed the Johnsons. a But hours after he was cleared by the civil court, Anderson was arrested by Air Force authorities and charged with the slayings again Tuesday night. He was placed in the stockade at the air base. An Air Force spokesman said Anderson needed psychiatric care and charged that the slayings had been premeditated.

Base Commander Col. Charles A. Wllard appeared before a federal court judge in Boise Wednesday to answer why Anderson was being held by the military when cleared by the state. Judge Chase A. Clark accused the Air Force of “Gestapo methods” in its handling of the murder charge against Anderson. Then he delayed the hearing for a week while the FBI goes over the case to determine if Anderson's civil rights had been violated by the Office of Special Investigation interrogation. At a news conference later, Allard said an “informal” military investigation failed earlier this week to clear Anderson. He said the Air Force felt it was its duty to carry the matter to completion.
