where he had an interview with Keli-
her, yesterday. keliher told Mr.. Whit

He said that Mr. Whitman would
either have to come across with the
money or the Massachusetts authori-

that he would consult with counsel in

refused To give names, dates and
places. He said. for instance. that the
police helped him to make fake raids
on his pool room and that they had
supplied him with police uniforma
which his own employees frequently
USED for the same purpose. This is
