The defense said that II would show
that while Cantrell was before the

called up DR.. Anderson. whose office
was across the hail from Dr.. Alexan-
der's Office IN the Claypool building.
Cantrell, the defense asserted, made
himself known and asked Or. Anderson

not fear. that he, Cantrell, was being
paid for what he was doing and that
no harm should come to DR.. Alexander.
