Grand Jury and waived all immunity,
advising Assistant District Attorney
Neil Burkinshaw that he would bring
all of the operatives who had covered
the Fall-Sinclair jurors to Washing

said :"The public has been led to
believe that we had no right to
do what we did. but we are abso-
lutely within our rights in observ-
ing the activities Of the jurors so
long as we did not approach them.
The defense has the same privilege
in that respect as the prosecution.
"Not a single Burns man ap-
preached a juror or spoke to him,
or communicated with him in any
way. If there is any evidence any
of our operatives did so, We will
gladly assist in sending him to the
penitentiary.
Our agents are honest and sim
cere."
