examiner of Axielle's accounts has
been sent out to New Mexico by this
department of justice? snot Axtelle to
be white washed? Would IL be safe to
have Axtelle personally investigated
Might he not tell all he knows and
show all instructions sent To him by
the department or by Bliss through
the department? No, no. nonehut poor
