Defense Counsel T. Emmett Nc

ment had seized all the files of the
concern with which the five defend
ants were associated. This, Mr.. Nc

resents James G. Fuller, executive
vice president of the Group.
John M. Kelley, jr., special assist
ant to the Attorney General, one of

tice James M. Proctor the defense
can have access to any Of the docu-
ments in his possession. A Senate

between November, 1941, and Feb

was never returned. Although Mr..
Fuller and other members of the

prospective contracts dealing with

loading job and work on screw ma
chimes, Mr.. Forse said he never got
any contract.
Asked by Mr.. Kelley if he had

of his money, Mr.. Forse declared
that he had not, adding that Engi-
neers' Group had discontinued bust
ness by the time he got around to
that.
Told by Mr. Fuller that Engineers

existed. He came to Washington and
