I'm her erief and anger, said Davis, the
mother had written such letters. they
were no more relevant than that sareet
conversation might be recognized by

Major Leonard angrily said that he ad-
mitted he was curious. that he now
wanted the public 70 know just what Mrs
sutton's charges were that there were
other mothers TO consider in this and
that in the public mind the young on
GERS stood accused OF a serious crime and
that the department itself stood virtually
charged with being party TO a conspir-

minutes later, they returned and ruled
that the record OF Saturdays star cham

Davis sat back resignedly. Mrs. Sut-
