to sell special privileges at the insti-

After the conviction of several men

in 1924, Hayden said, Fletcher told
him some Of them had offered to pay
for special assignments and that the
money should be kept from "outsid-
ers.
HAYDEN said he met Graham

Atlanta the first part of March, and
en- the following day Willie Haar, c.

was agreed that 800 was to be paid
