Cleveland caught his breath

that you fellows really had the
goods on him. We've had these
false alarms before. But that
expains why Judson was so
anxious to get on this job. He's
really out after a conviction
this time-an honest-to-good-
ness one. He'll try to make
good with the Department and
try to trade us an arrest for his
own immunity. I imagine that
Paige has no option in the

mailed him into letting him in

He'll beat that indictment if

that if you are a personal
friend Of his that you advise
him to discharge Judson and
come clean with me. If he's in
nocent, I'll help him; if he's
guilty, we'll find it out, Jud-

You're certainly right"
