seen parts of his testimony torn
to shredS under croSS-eXaminatlon.
George S. Douglas, counsel for
the 19-year-old girl charged with
being an accessory after the Need
ham Trust Company robbery and
double Staying, sought to show
that Messenger himself had knowl-
edge Of the crime.
He brought out from the stocky,
Sun-burned former friend of Muir
ton, that he never had seen
Norma's handwriting before, that
he had testified for the State that
she had written "cover up" letters
merely because he saw her name
signed to one.
The letters, relayed to Abe
Faber through messenger, dealt
with instructions to "cover up" on
the flight of Murton and his
brother Irving from Boston to
Washington, and New York after
the robbery and Staying of two po'
licemen. The Millen brothers and
