On April 16 , 1970 , Lippman , along with members of the Seattle Liberation Front , was indicted on conspiracy charges . Lippman had been arrested in California in conjunction with an anti-war demonstration , along with his brother , David , on April 15 . His co-defendants in the Seattle case were Chip Marshall , Jeff Dowd , Susan Stern , Michael Lerner , Joe Kelly , Michael Abeles , and Michael Justesen . The latter disappeared before he could be arrested . The charges stemmed from a February 1970 demonstration in Seattle , considered to be the biggest and most violent anti-war demonstration in the city at the time . It was part of a nationwide movement called " The Day After , " meant to express solidarity and outrage at the jailing of the Chicago Seven , who organized protests of the 1968 Democratic National Convention . Lippman , while indicted in Seattle with his other alleged co-conspirators , had moved to San Francisco the month before to edit a radical newspaper there . In the complaint , other co-defendants were alleged to have " spok en to assemblages of persons in Seattle , " and " led a march to the United States Courthouse , " attempting to establish a timeline of events that culminated with property damage at the United States Courthouse and the Federal office Building . Lippman was only mentioned in the complaint as having " met " with the others on two occasions
