...telephone, returned flustered, mysteriously called off the hearings. Last week onetime (1939-1942) Kansas Republican Governor Payne Ratner, a nervous, nose-grooming witness, partly explained what had happened. As Hoffa's attorney, he had visited Smith, used the leverage built up when Smith was state highway department counsel under Governor Ratner. ¶ As chairman of the Teamsters' Central Conference, Hoffa approved payment of $114,719 in salaries for four Teamster officials serving prison sentences. Furthermore, over a four-year period he approved a staggering $625,726 in legal fees for the defense of arrested Teamsters. ¶ A bitter...
...Hoffa's hoodlum business agents, Gus Zapas, forced Attorney David Probstein out as president of an Indianapolis cab company. Asked Committee Counsel Robert Kennedy of Betty Starrett, a former secretary in Probstein's office: "What did Zapas say to Probstein at that time?"

Last week, while Chief Obodo languished in jail and his British counsel, Dingle Foot (brother of Cyprus Governor Sir Hugh Foot), prepared his defense, one of his sidekicks, Chief Idaka Igboji, faced trial for murder, along with ten accomplices. A steady stream of witnesses -those who dared talk-told tales of death by drowning or burying alive. Finally there unrolled the story of the specific murder in question-that of a farmer named Nwakriko Abam.

Last summer Murchison and his backers brought in Major General David H. Baker as president and chief executive officer (TIME...
