| evidence.

pie who saw everything that night, and
the next day the district attorney knew
what part everybody played in the thing
and nobody could have gotten away.
| Il was deserted like a dog by Becker
| When 1 saw what the situation was, L
| opened up negotiations with the district
attorney, who offered me sort of cover
| that l cannot go into details about in
writing. I insisted that the same pro-
lection given me be extended to Harry
WALTON. Bridge Weber and you, and to
| this he finally agreed. We are all
pleased with the arrangement. Our only
worry has been to get you to come in to
get the same friendliness we got before
1t is too late.

sentative of the district attorney to bring
you back here. That will prevent the
police from getting You and putting you

Immediately on receipt of this letter
wire me at 'Louie's' house.
