Special Prosecutor.
Laskey has been assigned the role
of prosecutor in the forthcoming trial
of Robert A. Mcpherson, jr.. husband

charge of firSt-degree murder pre-
ferred by a grand jury.
Federal agents have kept their ind

In the event the prosecutor failed 10

that the charge of murder be nolle

prosecutor undoubtedly will press the
charge vigorously. In this way respon-
sibility of judging the value Of the evil

Any conclusion draw. from the facts
