perfection but by unity of express

Now, during that same period of time, MT. Hickey, you will recall from his testimony, was active also in attempting to dis cover the very things the defend- ants were attempting to cover up and his testimony was that he came to Waterbury early in February and from February on he was here prac- tically every day. And he had the goods fortune to find some of the defendants, interviewed some of the defendants. He talked with Fleming. You will recall he said he went down to the city yard. Fleming said they didn't keep any records down at the city yard; didn't have any records; didn't keep any records; and the only records per- taining to trucking or matters of that kind-payroll sheets--were in the controllers office. Of course, the testimony of Fleming's own chief clerk was that those records had been burned. They had, in fact,
