Snow" threw off all disguise and re-
vealed himself as John Patron, a detec-
tive who had been employed by the EN-
ereys, who figure in the case on trial, to
watch Papineau and report on his do
ings. The reason that the detective re-
vealed himself, according to the testl-
mony of the witness, was because CoaAz
ley once saved him in a bad situation
and he wished to do him favor IN re-
turn.
At considerably greater length Papi-
neau testified to his later relations with
Jack Patron. and IIle witness said that
on the day following Patrons having re-
vealed his Identity to the witness, he,
Papineau), went to Coakley's Office and
told him of the incident. Papineau tes-
titled that Coallley warned him agains:
Patron.
Behind the whole fabric OF Papineau's
testimony was an amazing story Of in
trigue and double-crossing that has
made highly interesting reading for Put
nam people that have been following the
case with special attention.
