q shrewd man, may decide that his
best interests will require that he tell
the whole truth. II he should do that
I would have to think oter pretty
carefully what my attitude should be.
While murder IL I graver crime than
blackmail, It might be that I would
decide ia the event et confession. to
ask some clemency for Becker"
Mr.. Mcintyre expects to be out OF

will talk matters over with his client.
In few days the grand jury Will
hand down about six additional IN
