affidavit that she is a prisoner in her 5th Avenue

apartment, living in “dread fear’ of an assault of a

moment I step onto the sidewalk, that man will

assault me again. Mrs. Onassis swore that when to

the theater last week, she was trailed by

photographer Ron Galella and three or four of his

associates had photographed, annoyed and

harassed her. Sitting in the theater, she says they

order against him, ordering him to stay 100 yards away from the apartment

house and 50 yards away from Mrs. Onassis and her two children.
