Attorney General Griffin Bell, who is in charge of the FBI and who personally made the decision to indict the three men, was in Indianapolis to lecture the Indiana state bar association on his efforts at "holding the intelligence community to the rule of law," when he discovered that FBI agents there were preparing another demonstration against him. He promptly went to the local FBI office, where he confronted some 50 hostile agents and clerks. They presented him with a letter, signed by 100 agents, charging that "the FBI is being systematically destroyed for reasons unknown to us." Bell chided...
Within days of announcing the indictments, the accusers have now become the accused. The events of last week also brought charges by J. Wallace LaPrade, head of the besieged New York field office, that the FBI was still conducting the same type of illegal break-in practices under Bell which drove a grand jury to indict Gray and his two aides. LaPrade himself is open to charges of ax-grinding: though unindicted, he was a major target in the FBI probe, and his refusal to tender a requested resignation brought his prompt removal as head of the New York office...

Nett reveals Davis's crime: the clean-cut prisoner is a convicted child rapist. The guard felt prompted to indict Davis before the inmates because a child molester had attacked his daughter. The insertion of this twist in the personality of Davis provides the dramatic device so badly needed in this plot. Longshoe suddenly pulls out of his self-assumed brother's keeper role, planting a well-aimed globule of spit on Davis's face...
...former high-level official in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) who directed the FBI's alleged mail-opening and wire-tapping campaign against the Weather Underground terrorist organization in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Bell has frequently second-guessed his department's decision last April to indict John J. Kearney, a Morley underling who headed the FBI office in New York that allegedly carried out the illegal operations against the Weathermen. The Kearney indictment provoked an outcry from within the FBI as agents took to the streets of Manhattan to protest the unprecedented action, and the spectre...
