Here's a shot of antiwar priest and fugitive Father Daniel Berrigan

leaving a Philadelphia church in August 1970 after surfacing briefly

to deliver a sermon. The Jesuit priest and his late brother, Daniel,

also a Catholic priest, had been convicted with seven other Catholics

of destroying draft records at the Catonsville, Maryland, Selective

Service office. Sentenced to three and a half years in federal prison,

both priests went underground; Philip was captured within days but

Daniel remained at large for four months. Three days after this photo

was taken, Daniel was captured by the U.S. Federal Bureau of

Investigation on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. Daniel later wrote

the play, "The Trial of the Catonsville Nine."
