that he was prosecuted because he re-
fused to discard his wife.

request that the plea be withdrawn and

man of entering plea because he did
not get fee from Cohen.

Judge that he had befriended Cohen
and had acted in his interest when he
advised him to plead guilty.

ment between the lawyers. but 1t was
suddenly terminated by Judge MARITIME

brother. Samuel, to a number OF checks
