Police Nab Two In 'Avatar' Bust

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Police arrested two persons yesterday for distributing the Avatar, Boston's hippie weekly, on charges of peddling without a license, and distributing obscene literature.

George Tower, proprietor of Mariposa on Western Ave., was arrested in his shop, and John Rodgers, a Boston resident, was arrested while selling in Harvard Square.

A Cambridge District Court arraigned them and set them free on $200 bail apiece. Two weeks ago another seller, Daniel Oates, arrested on similar charges, was released on personal recognizance.

Tower's wife said that police told her during yesterday's arrest, "this time we're going to get everyone."
