The counsel for Dickey we're called

counsel to continue at work for par
don or to take whatever action might
be necessary. Financial assistance
was promised if needed. There was
nothing that could be done, however,
except to appeal to President Roosevelt
for pardon, and this is the plan which
will be followed. 1t is pointed out
that in addition to the fine and i'm
