Meanwhile, Miss Lorenz is scheduled to face a grand jury in connection with her allegations that Sturgis had threatened her. GRAND JURY PROBE At hls arraignment, the District Attorney's office charged that Sturgis instilled "fear into her that she would be killed," if she continued to talk to investigators of the subcommittee about the 'Kennedy assassination. They claimed that Sturgis had threatened that he or someone else would harm her or "the Company would get her." The -word company is a reference to the CIA. Henry Rothbiatt, Sturgis' lawyer, in an attempt to low- er the unusually high bail of $25,000, said that Miss Lorenz's charge stemmed from the fact she was wri- ting a book and was search- ing for publicity.
