served. more than anything else, to
convict Herman Billik, a Bohemian

him by a high police official and an
assistant state attorney, both of whom
coached him in his part until he was
able to go on the stand and give dam

He declares that the police threat
ened him with a charge of murder
unless he would do as they directed,
and in fear for his life he obeyed
their orders.
