Give me a coin.

Hello there. How are you today?

How are you?

Here you are.

Thank you. Thank you.

Well?

What's going on?

She came home from work about five o 'clock.

Her boyfriend was with her. He hasn't left yet. They generally go out to

together.

She hasn't gotten past you.

It's taking too long.

I don't like this waiting around all night.

Stay here forever if you have to.

Do something about the gun.

You can see it.

I don't like it. They shouldn't be this late.

What are they doing in there?

Yes, George.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell.

I really don't blame you for being worried.

It's bound to be nerve -wracking tomorrow.

But you'll be all right.

I've never even been in a courtroom before.

Oh, they'll ask you to identify Klein as your employer, tell about the errands

you ran for him, when the government puts it together.

It'll prove he's a spy.

That's all there is to it.

I mean, Klein hasn't tried to frighten you, has he?

Phone calls?

Threats? No.

Then what are you worried about?

Oh, I don't know, George.

Everything. I mean, things have been happening lately. The cab that almost

me this afternoon.

Anna, that was an accident.

Oh, George.

If you say so, George. Probably was.

I know it was. And so do you, inside.

Hannah, it's normal to be a little jumpy in a situation like this.

I'm not jumpy. But the marvelous thing about you is that you face your

responsibilities. You realize a person can't run away.

Now, that's a wonderful gift.

Wonderful.

Want me to get it?

Hannah, the phone.

Hello?

Yes.

Oh, yes, she's right here.

Hannah, it's the United States Attorney on the phone.

Just a minute. I'll get her.

Hannah, didn't you hear me? It's the U .S. attorney on the phone.

He seems to like you, eh, miss?

Please, let go.

Taxi! Harry.

She's wearing a wig. Her clothes are new. She's uncomfortable in them.

It's her.

Taxi!

Grand Central, please. The hurry.

Hannah, what are you doing?

Something wrong?

Hannah. I'm coming in there. I'm warning you right now.

I'm sorry, but... Hannah, please.

Hello? I can't find her.

Well, she's gone.

She's just gone

FBI

A Quinn Martin Warner Brothers production.

Starring Ephraim Zimbalist Jr.

Also starring Philip Abbott.

Stephen Brooks.

With guest stars Colin Wilcox.

James Callahan.

Tonight's episode, Passage into Fear.

McRandall's flight began at New York's Grand Central Station with a one -way

ticket to Quebec, Canada.

Afraid of appearing in court, afraid of the man she was supposed to testify

against, and the government she was supposed to testify for, she was running

from them all.

But the hunters that easily picked up her trail were already closing in.

Can I help you?

Yes, please.

You have a book on elementary French.

Yes, on the other side of the aisle in the hall.

Thank you.

May I help you, young lady?

Oh, Chet, good to see you.

Inspector, I'm sorry I wasn't out at the airport. You didn't know a salesman in

New York until a couple of hours ago.

I have a note that says you're interested in U .S. versus Klein, the

case. And a prosecution witness named Hannah Crandall. Have you talked to her?

Well, no. She's a minor witness, Inspector.

There must be 50 people all fitting Klein into the prosecution case.

The Crandall girl didn't even know that she was being used as a courier.

A defector named Osborne walked into the bureau this morning. He hasn't stopped

talking since.

You know who Klein's superior is, don't you?

The operations chief of Red Eskimo's West.

Anna Crandall has carried important documents to him. That's one of the

bombshells Osborne dropped.

That makes her one of the three or four people on Earth who's ever seen him face

to face.

Valuable girl.

She met him here?

Coffee shop in Greenwich Village.

Lucy's gone.

Gone? I just talked to the assistant U .S. attorney in charge of the case. He

said that he called her apartment right after talking to Mr. Ward.

A friend answered, a man named George Litt.

He said he was waiting for her to get dressed. He went to the next room.

She wasn't there. She was gone.

Well, any sign of a struggle? No.

All right, get on it.

Circulate photographs to all airbus and train terminals. And I want a rundown on

any relatives she might have living in New York. Yes, sir.

Will this inspector ask you to get me an assistant director ward in Washington,

please?

Now, Mr. Osborne, you've stated that in the month of October, 1945, you saw

Klein only once or twice. No more than that.

And you received no word from your superior?

None. I might as well have been in Antarctica.

Would this indicate another occasion when Klein preferred to use Hannah

instead of yourself as a courier?

Absolutely. Can you imagine, Mr. Ward, a situation where a trained and

experienced espionage agent risking his life is ignored?

witless little secretary who knows nothing, risks nothing, is used.

Uh -huh.

Then is it your feeling that Miss Crandall would have seen your superior

occasion, too?

Of course.

I mustn't see him. I couldn't be trusted, but...

Ward.

Oh,

yes, Lewis.

All right, we've had a setback.

I'm in the New York office. The girl's missing.

You mean the cradle woman?

Never even had a chance to interview her. Jim says talk to the U .S.

He'd hope to bring her into his office tonight, but she's run off.

In a blind panic.

Maybe.

Is Osborne still talking?

Yeah.

Although we have to pull the facts out of him one by one.

There's now a third period when the girl might have seen his superior.

Well, then she could certainly identify him.

Oh, yeah. There's no question about that.

Now, look, I think under the circumstances, I'd better get on up

It might be a good idea to try for postponement.

I'll get in touch with the girl's landowner, let you know as soon as we

line on her.

Lewis, do you think Klein's people might try to eliminate her at this point?

They'll have a better chance.

She's running scared, and that means she isn't thinking.

Yeah.

Well, I'll see you about midnight.

Osborne, is there anyone else who might be able to identify this man?

Except for Hannah?

No.

As a matter of fact, I've heard a rumor. I don't know how true it is.

They say they've brought in a team to kill her.

I understand they've had the apartment staked out all along.

If she leaves there alone, I'd say she's as good as dead.

I'm sorry.

I lost my balance.

Then the strap came off.

Is he a friend of yours?

No.

He helped me on the train.

Oh. Well, I really am sorry.

Oh, I'm just going up to the Northwoods to do some hunting.

Excuse me.

Miss.

You know what I wish you'd do for me?

No.

Come into the club car and have a drink with me.

To make up for my clumsiness.

I wish you'd go away.

Well, I was going to sit here and... This seat's taken.

Oh, yes.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Excuse me.

She's having a terrible time, isn't she?

One thing after another.

You sound almost sympathetic.

Do you want me to do it?

No, no.

I'll never see you in the next car, so I'm out of your grip.

Oh, no, no, that's right. I'll just keep it. I'll put it on the platform.

No, no, I'll just take it. Don't worry. It'll be well taken care of.

All right. Be careful. It's kind of falling apart there. Yes. I've had a

time since the service. Yes.

Miss.

Excuse me. Are you traveling alone?

Why? We have a lost child up in the next car. I was wondering if... No, I...

This is my husband's place.

Is anything wrong, miss?

Excuse me?

Is anything wrong?

Oh, no, I'm fine now.

But you seem so upset on the platform.

I couldn't help thinking that girl needs friends.

Oh, no, I was just frightened that my husband wasn't going to make the train.

Your husband?

Yes, excuse me.

Oh.

Is this seat taken?

Uh, well, I don't think so.

I wanted to apologize for being so rude. Oh, no, no, please. It was my fault.

After all, you did try to catch it. Yeah, but I also dropped it.

Please, sit down.

What kind of work do you do?

Uh, I'm a construction engineer.

What's your name?

Link. Richard Link.

And yours?

Hannah.

Hannah.

Mr. Link, would you mind being my husband for a while?

Please.

There's just one thing I'm absolutely sure of, and that's that she's still in

the city somewhere. Probably right here in the neighborhood.

What makes you think so?

Because I know her. And I know she isn't capable of the grand gesture, the big

flight. She doesn't have the imagination, for one thing. She's too

Well, it looks to me, Mr. Litt, that she's not altogether conservative.

That's Hannes?

Mm -hmm.

Oh, for heaven's sakes.

Tell me, Mr. Litt, just how close were you two?

Well, the...

An understanding?

We found these lipstick smears.

The sales slip from Kelleher's. The shoe store?

No. Well, Hannah'd never go to Kelleher's. Why not?

Well, she hates those narrow, high -heeled shoes.

No.

No. Is this her lipstick?

She doesn't use lipstick.

Oh, maybe a little.

But you'd never know it. And not like that.

Did you drive a car?

No, we take the bus.

Where's the nearest bus stop?

Four blocks up.

Do you have any relatives in town?

No.

I'd like a check on all cabs that have pick -ups in this area around 5 .15.

All right.

I don't understand.

Hannah would never hire a cab.

Well, that might depend on how tight her new shoes were, don't you think, Mr.

Litt?

Silk negligee.

Lipstick.

Running off like some... Inspector, what got into her?

Fear.

Desire to escape.

Happens more often than you'd imagine.

Erskine. Lewis.

Arthur.

Well, Osborne confirmed our suspicions. They're definitely after Hannah

Crandall. They've been watching her apartment.

They may have followed her.

We're talking to George Litt now. Maybe he can tell us something.

Well, I hope so.

You can't stop them if you don't know what they look like.

I'll keep you informed.

When you came here with Miss Crandall, did you notice anyone outside the

building? Anyone out? Mr. Litt, there isn't much time.

Just think, was there anyone there?

Well, there was an organ grinder. He had a monkey.

Why? What's happened to her?

Mr. Erskine, you've got to find her.

I'll do my best.

I just want my old girl back.

That's all.

Right now, I'd settle for either one. So let either one.

Anyway, that's it.

I have to get out of the country.

Okay.

Now, whoever's looking for you is after a girl alone.

Is that right?

That's right.

Oh, I think I better tell you there already have been a couple of attempts

life.

Well, what about the police? Now, are they looking for you, too?

You don't believe a word I'm saying, do you?

Well, frankly, you don't much look like a girl the police would be interested

in.

I don't much look like a girl anybody would be interested in.

Oh, no, that's not true.

That's far from true.

It's ridiculous.

How can a train swing any more in the front than the middle? I don't care,

Harry. I feel better here.

Oh, excuse me. Are these seats taken?

Well, I don't think so.

Oh, it's you again.

Hello. And this is your husband?

Yes.

Some people get sick on boats.

She gets sick on an escalator. All right, Harry. Keep it up. Keep it up.

Boats, too.

So naturally, we're on our way to join a tour.

The Gaspé region.

I told her. I said, Lucille...

You're going to have boats coming out your ears up there, but I don't know.

It was the same in Wisconsin.

Nice country. Used to be my stamping grounds.

Oh, really?

Where do you come from, dear?

Oh, we're from the same place.

Excuse me, Hannah.

Would you excuse us just a moment, please? Why, sure, son.

Thank you. Hannah?

What is it? Well, I'd like to talk to you a moment.

Oh, wait.

Excuse us.

She's got the right idea.

Safety in numbers. You'll have to separate them.

I wonder.

What do you mean?

Supposedly.

Suppose they sent somebody besides us.

Insurance.

Nope. Now, the affair I picked up was a brunette.

How was she dressed?

Hmm.

Well, uh, sweater and skirt, suit, dress.

Well, she was very sharp, you know what I mean?

She wear a hat?

Yeah.

No. No.

No hat? I don't know. Maybe. Whom noticed?

Uh, do you think you'd recognize her if you saw her again?

You know it.

This was a real doll.

Absolutely.

Is this the girl?

Friend, if this is your idea of a real doll, you're in trouble.

No, that ain't the one.

Okay. You picked this beautiful brunette up at 517 outside her apartment, and

you took her to... Grand Central.

Grand Central. Did she say where she was going?

No. Did she mention any trains at all?

No.

What did you talk about?

Feet.

Whose feet?

Hers.

They hurt. She was a dancer.

Hey, I think I know where she might be heading.

Where? The mountains.

She was saying she hoped she wasn't going to get blisters because she wanted

do some skiing.

Look, did she seem to know a lot about it? I mean, did she sound like an

No, just the opposite.

Matter of fact, she wanted to know where she could get some information. You

know, some facts on skiing.

I said, probably at the bookshop at Grand Central. You know, Henry's.

Yes, I remember.

Pretty girl.

Dark hair.

She wanted something...

She was terribly nervous. I guess she wanted something to read on the train.

Did she say what train she'd be taking?

No. She stayed in a hurry?

As a matter of fact, she was. She ran out without buying anything.

About what time was that, Henry?

Oh, it was about ten minutes to six.

Oh,

she dropped this.

French self -taught.

Let's see, Canada.

Quebec limited, 6 .30 p .m. daily.

That's the only one.

What's next up?

Albany. We might be able to fly you down to Clifton.

Well, thanks very much.

Call the resident agent. I've got a plane. Oh, excuse me.

Oh, sorry.

Hannah, all I want is...

Thank

you.

Thank you.

Cheers.

Cheers.

All right, you're not going to tell me the truth, but at least you can tell...

Please.

Please, Richard.

Just... Let me sit with you until we get to Quebec.

Please, and don't ask me any more questions, and I'll do anything.

Now, there you go again.

What do you mean? Well, that kind of talk. You're not a pickup, or... Well,

least I don't want to think you are a pickup.

Hannah, I want to protect a girl. I'm not... Well, that's all I'm asking for,

isn't it? No.

Well, yes.

You're running away from something.

And what exactly is it you're running from?

Maybe I'm running away from myself.

All right, now cut it out.

Maybe I am. I got scared and I ran out.

But partly I liked it. The new clothes and other things.

I was so used to being a nice, quiet...

Mousy, obedient girl.

Hardly important enough to be victimized.

I was a convenience, like a door handle.

These are so good. What do you call them?

Brandy Alexanders.

Is this what you'd buy for a... a pickup?

I might.

Well, why don't we just pretend I'm...

One of those girls who's had a few drinks and it's a nice, warm, pleasant

Stop it.

I'm sorry.

Hannah, what's the matter?

I don't know.

I just don't know who I am or where I'm going. I

like you.

And I think of George and the apartment and George's mother.

You know, I hardly ever take taxis.

They seem too extravagant.

I never would have guessed.

And that's what I have to go back to.

Excuse me.

Hannah, where are you going? Please.

Where are you going, dear? This is your place.

Well, no, actually, I was... Oh, you've had a lover's call now. Where is your

young man?

In the club car. I don't suppose you saw my husband back there, did you?

Yes, I think I did. Well, maybe you could help me then. I don't feel at all

well. Oh, I'm sorry. No, I'll be all right. Just a little fresh air.

Well, I think maybe you better sit back down. No, no, if we just go out, maybe

we could get something cool on my face and maybe open the window between the

cars. You sit down and I'll call the board. No, no, no, you're the only one I

need.

Hello, son.

I'm glad you're here.

I wanted to ask you about this tour we're going on. Do you have a second?

Well, uh... Here, between Quebec and Saint -André, it says we have a choice

between the bus and boat.

If you saw my wife, you know how she is.

I just wanted to make sure that if we take the bus...

Please, open the window.

I really don't think we're supposed to.

Oh, good.

Oh, it's wonderful.

Be careful. Please don't lean out so far.

That's so much better. The air is marvelous.

Come and join me.

Oh, be careful.

Oh,

I'm sorry. Please don't lean on the door anymore.

slowing down.

We shouldn't be stopping yet, should we?

Not in a limited.

This isn't Albany yet, is it?

Yet.

Why'd we be stopping here? This is only a small station.

You're the ones I called about?

Right. Inspector Erskine, Special Agent Rhodes.

How do you do? Step aboard.

Here's the highball.

What is it?

Someone got on the train.

Hannah. Hello.

Oh, she's a strange girl, your wife.

Any idea what they have in mind?

All right, I'll get back to you.

Identification. Yes, is Mr. Randolph there?

No, sir, he just left. I think he's on his way back to your office.

Oh, here he is now. Thank you.

We've run a quick check on George Lift, Mr. Ward. The boyfriend?

Yes, sir.

No record of any kind, and the information he gave Inspector Erskine

check so far.

Hardworking, serious young man.

It's hard to imagine either one of them up to their necks in espionage, isn't

it?

I just spoke to the U .S. Attorney's Office.

The Chief Defense Counsel for Klein just asked the judge for an immediate

appearance in Department 19.

Tonight? Mm -hmm.

He also asked the U .S. Attorney's Office to be present.

Which means he's planning to petition the court.

Motion for dismissal, probably, or a mistrial.

Yes, but on what grounds? They haven't finished the opening argument.

Well, I'm going over to Department 19 myself.

Lewis should be on the train by now, so when you hear from him, tell him I'll

try to reach him directly from the courthouse.

Yes, sir.

No, I'm positive. We don't have anybody who looks like this. She's probably

wearing a brunette wig.

She's not on this train, Inspector.

I'm very good with faces.

All right, let's try to break it down.

I think she got on alone. She's taking it through to Quebec.

She's young, pretty.

You could be describing half the females on this train, Mr. Erskine. Her feet

hurt? Now you're describing all of them.

Now listen to me.

Now stop crying and listen to me.

I understand.

It doesn't do any good if you understand.

I'm on your side.

Now we all have times when we want to be something we're not. There's nothing

wrong with that.

Right, Mrs. Lane?

There's plenty of time.

First call for dinner. The diner's four cars forward.

First call for dinner. The diner's four cars forward.

So, uh, that's it. I think we can eliminate all but three of them for one

or another.

Well, let's go over them again.

Okay. Last car, girl with dark brown hair, glasses, navy blue suit, gray

suitcase and hat box.

No, that wouldn't know.

She's only ticketed to Albany.

Next. Fourth car, fifth seat right.

Description checks, but she's traveling with an older woman.

Looks like it might be her mother.

And they were talking French.

How fluidly.

That's not a native to me.

Look, if you see somebody that might be the right one, why don't you just walk

up and ask?

Can't take that chance, that's for sure.

Next.

Third car.

Right age, right coloring, but she's traveling with a man, and they seem very

friendly. Oh, yeah.

You know her?

She's an odd little kid.

Supposed to be married, but you doubt it.

Well... Let's separate them.

I'll have a talk with her.

Separate them? How?

I'm with my husband.

I have an open seat for one. If you'd help us, miss, we've got a lot of people

to serve.

Go ahead.

You'll feel better at ease.

I'll join you as soon as I can.

Thank you.

Oh.

You, uh, traveling alone?

No.

No, I'm with my husband.

Oh.

My husband and I are going to Quebec on a hunting trip.

Oh, yes, it's a beautiful city.

Uh, you live in New York?

Yes. How long have you been married?

Just a few years.

I had my honeymoon in Quebec.

Imagine you two stay in the United States.

Yes. Where?

California.

Yeah.

Where did you spend your honeymoon, Dick?

Miami. You live in New York now, don't you? No, no.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Yes, well, I've never done much hunting.

Tennis is my game, really.

Sorry to interrupt, sir.

What's this?

From the conductor.

Oh? Excuse me.

Well, it's a pleasure, Mrs. Lank. I hope we meet again sometime.

Will you excuse me a minute? I see my wife's alone now. Yeah.

Thank you very much.

kind of a world business. We've been married ten minutes. They're trying to

separate us. She lives in New York.

That must be a little awkward. He lives in Milwaukee.

How many months in California?

Nope. Miami.

Keep an eye on her. I'll be right back.

All right.

That man that you were sitting with, what was he talking about?

What?

The man that you were sitting with, he looks like one of the two men that got

the train at that small station.

Take it easy.

He's nobody.

They could have arranged this. What were you talking about?

Nothing. Small talk.

Where I went on my honeymoon, where I live, that's all.

You didn't.

Well, they are after me, then.

Now, look, Hannah.

I'm involved in a spy case. I'm a witness.

What? It's the truth. I swear, that's the truth.

Albany is next.

Albany. Let me get off.

You're not going to do anything of the kind. You're going to stop this

and listen to me. Hannah.

Hannah. Albany.

Hannah. Hannah.

You sit down there.

Art,

I know this is the girl. We can't turn our backs on her. The killer's maybe on

the train now.

We've got no choice, Lewis.

I'm calling from the courthouse.

Judge had to come in and hear a defense motion.

The case has been dismissed.

All right, for the love of... The government's going to refile, and new

subpoenas will be issued.

But until that time, the girl is absolutely free.

We have no jurisdiction in this whatsoever.

If she wants to get off the train, you can't stop her.

These killers Osborne spoke of, they don't know the trial's off. All they

is they've got orders to kill her.

If she gets off this train, we may never find her alive.

Richard, please, just don't understand. I do understand.

What are we going to do? We can't waste any more time trying to arrange an

accident. Well, open your purse.

Try to get her into the ladies' lounge.

Here.

All right.

Anyone else try to, uh, get close to her?

Did anyone seem overly friendly?

Well... Did anyone seem to be following her?

Oh, come to think of it, this one couple did change their seats.

To get closer to her? There was a man and his wife. They went into the next

when the girl did, took the seat right behind her. They tried to talk to her?

Yeah, they... You know, I may be way off base, but the last time I went through

the vestibule between car three and four, the upper half of the door was

Now, that's dead against regulations.

I asked the porter about it, and he said the last people he saw there were Mrs.

Link and this woman.

Is there any way I can talk to my friend in the dining car?

Sure.

What's his name?

Rhodes? Yeah.

You are not getting off the train in this condition, so forget it.

Mr. Rhodes? Yes.

Telephone for you, sir.

Right this way. Thank you.

Rhodes.

Jim, the case against Klein was dismissed.

That means the witnesses have been released.

Released? Is the girl still there?

Yeah, but she's talking about getting off.

Anna.

Anna. That's it. She's gone.

Well, get after her.

She's being arrested. What?

It's too late. Get back in.

What?

Miss Brando, I'm with the FBI. I don't believe you. They still believe you.

Listen, what do you want, buddy? I'm trying to speak with Miss Brando. Mrs.

Lake.

Ms. Crandall, hold it. Hold it, buddy. I want to see your ID.

Miss Kringle.

No.

Just keep away from me.

Keep away from me.

Just keep away from me.

Keep away.

Hey, conductor.

Do you know who this suitcase belongs to?

No, but the porter should.

Where is he?

Next car, probably.

The point is, she's still alive.

We did our best.

suppose that's going to matter.

She's alive.

She...

And

she's here.

My poor dear.

Please, will you help me?

Huh?

Please, help me.

Mother, she's very upset.

Oh. Perhaps you better.

Everything's going to be all right. You just got me.

That one.

That belongs to the fellow who got over Albany. I'm surprised he didn't remember

it. Are you sure? I'm sure. Say they had a sense of service.

Thanks.

Here we go, dear. Here we go.

Now, you just go ahead and cry all you want. I understand.

It's that young man of yours, isn't it?

For heaven's sake.

Where's the girl?

The girl?

FBI, where is she?

I don't know.

Where's your wife?

I'm not sure. Hey, waiter. Yes, sir. Did you see two women come into the next

car, one in her 20s, the other older?

No, sir, I didn't.

Women's lounge.

Hey, I wouldn't jump if I were you.

Miss Crandall?

Miss Crandall.

Help me.

Say that.

What's the next town?

R &S. Want me to stop the train there?

Yeah, radio the police.

Tell them I made a citizen's arrest.

Attempted murder.

They want to question this woman's husband, too.

It's over.

It's all over.

I had

no reason to

recontact that girl. There was no reason at all.

No reason except my neck. She threatened me with a knife.

Well, in her condition, she probably thought you were another assassin.

But, Arthur, the knife didn't belong to her. I saw her lift it from another

passenger's suitcase, and you know what that is.

Theft from interstate shipment.

And you used that as an excuse to... Well, I guess you had to use something.

What about the Fortiers?

Sheriff has them in custody.

I'll bring their prints along with me when I come.

Be careful.

Right, Arthur.

Thank you.

Thought you might like to keep this.

Oh.

You know, after all that's happened, this girl looks like a total stranger to

me.

What's going to happen to me now?

You'll be subpoenaed again.

You'll be asked to identify client superior.

Only this time, the U .S. attorney will give you police protection.

And... Am I really going to go to jail for stealing Richard's knife?

Oh, I think we can work something out. I spoke to the owner. He told me he was

thinking of giving you the knife anyway as a Christmas present.

You talked to him? When?

Just a few minutes ago.

He's on his way over here now.

As a matter of fact, here he is.

I've got the car outside.

Fine.

Can we give you a lift?

No, thank you.

I've been eating these.

Oh, thank you.

Good luck.

Goodbye. Goodbye. Thank you.

Thank you.

Nice to see you again.

I'm glad you stopped running. I was getting a little tired of chasing you.

Aren't you mad at me?

Mad? No.

What for?

Because you were scared.

Aren't you all surprised I was wearing a wig?

No.

I was wondering what the real color of your hair was.

It's pretty.

Thank you.

Uh, Hannah.

Would you like to go have a cup of coffee and talk?

Yes.

The freedom of New York's communist spy ring was short -lived.

The FBI succeeded in bringing their leaders to trial, and Hannah Crandall's

testimony was instrumental in convicting them.

All are now serving sentences in federal penitentiaries.
