Forarl's re- marks might result in a later reversal of the Seven's Convic. tion, William T. Gussett said in a telephone interview. Foran, the U.S. attorney in Chicago, told a high, school boosters club luncheon in that city(Friday that the Seven are part of a "freaking fag revolu- tion" that threatens the na- tion's youth. The prosecutor said that Black Panther Bobby 'Seale, a former defendant in the cele- brated case, was the only de- fendant "I don't think was a fag." Foran called Abble Hoffman "scummy but clever," "a sneak!' "a little jerk," "a punk," and the de. fense attorneys "mouth- pieces." Interviewed at his Detroit home, Gossett said It was "somewhat inappropriate for any attorney to comment on a case that Is under appeal." He said that "a case could be made" before an appeals judge for a reversal of sen- tence on the strength of such remarks. A Justice Department spokesman said there would be no comment. Foran himself was unavailable. A Chicago neighbor said she did not know his whereabouts and "wouldn't tell you if I did."
