 T don't see how he could have done that" said the attorney gen. eral today. Tn fact, I'm pretty pos tive he did not"
 May Be Bootleg Clue
 Tn regard to States Attorney Hugh NJ. Alcorn's proposal to call a grand jury to investigate the Gill patric case. Mir. Healy advanced the theory that Mir. Alcorn may have leads on Gilpatric's bootlegging ac- tivities" with a Hartford man, for mer saloon keeper.
 Shortly before Mir. Gilpatric's de. falcations were made known" the attorney general declared, "there were rumors that Gilpatric had be- come heavily involved in bootleggint operations with this man, witt whom he had other financial deal ings."
 MT. Healy explained that thu bootlegging rumor had been il wide circulation at the time. bu that he could not vouch for thu truth of 1t. But I can think Of n' other reason for Mir. Alcorn to cal grand jury in this matter" he as serted.

 n MT. Healy said that he does nc e think 1t will ever be possible ft
 the authorities to gain any furtht : information on the financial tang e from Gilpatric himself. q "He doesn't realize the extent - which he has involved himself" NJ
 Healy said. and nothing, apparen ,f ly. can make him realize it. ar h much of what he did he cannot, o am convinced, remember. One of h |. most frequent replies when l que
 tioned him. was I don't remembe l. think the bullet with which d tried to end his life must have affec " ed his mind And another trouh D with the man is that he is a r n mancer. He insists that when Ig leaves Atlanta he will earn all
