Biography
John Baehler was a 22-year-old former Jesuit seminarian who burned his draft card with Peter Kiger at the Committee for Nonviolent Action office in New York on March 24, 1966 to protest the Selective Service System and the Vietnam War. Federal authorities arrested Baehler on May 26. A judge found him incompetent to stand trial and committed him to the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners for psychiatric evaluation and treatment until he regained competency. The reviewed records do not provide his admission, discharge or final case-disposition dates.
