allegation that Burton knew of the case

Attorney Haynes argued further that
While the indictment alleges that Sen

out with whom he agreed. The indict-

the services rendered or when services
We're to be rendered.
II is alleged by the indictment. Mr..
Haynes stated. that the question being
investigated by the postoffice depart
