The other members of the Pine

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.--With his

this week.
Realizing that the state, through
Rose, Weber, Vallon and Schepps

the former head OF the strong arm

And both defense and prosecution ad-
mitted today that on his own story

That he will expose his client TO
grave danger of another prosecution
even though ne should be acquitted
on the murder charge was admitted
by John F. Mcintyre, chief counsel
for the defense today. But Mcintyre
hopes to be able to prevent the dis

that this money was actually paid
