fused to appear and notified Brennan
to that effect. Brennan stated action
against them would be taken immedi-

Asked the reason for their stand the
men stated the belief that the attorney
general had not sufficient evidence to
secure convictions, and they believed
the law covering Brennan's action in
commanding them to testify Is uncon-
stitutional. They are said to be pre-

and have the law tested.
