William E. Leahy, assisted by At
torney James F. Reilly.
Justice Daniel w. ODonoghue

plain that the Governments star
witness against him, James r. CAL
lagher, former secretary of the
company, handled details Of the
firms credit with banks and also
took care of fleet sales Of automo-
biles, mostly taxicabs In groups

no knowledge of these proceedings,
to obtain financial assistance for
the firm. Mr.. Nolan insisted he

in the hands of Mr.. Gallagher.
