formation she possessed was in the
hands of the police. She said, however
that Brice and Perry devoted their
time while together to plotting against
someone, she would not say whom, ana
that they frequently mentioned dyna-
mite.
These discussions were held in
Brice's room, but at times the mems
voices were raised to pitch that made
them audible all over the fiat.
