they worked in Mr.. Brehms' Of
flee. Mr.. Brehm has pleaded in

tions. Then, the witness added,
Mr.. Brehm asked him to tell that

had reached an agreement on
that point before she left her
earlier job with the Treasury

She said she used to put the
money in envelopes and hand
them to Mr.. Brehm in his Office.
