...police. For five years they have been frustratingly familiar with many of the details of the crime, and all but one of the eleven gang members (Fugitive James Ignatius Flaherty, 44, a bartender, burglar and escape artist) have been primary suspects. In 1953 a federal grand jury refused to indict the ten for lack of legally admissible evidence. A year later Joseph F.

I know of only one factual lapse--an inadvertent reference to the grand jury's failure to indict in the second (kidnap) trial of Milam and Bryant as an acquittal; and on reviewing the pieces, the second and third which were the ones with judgments.

The trial began in January 1952. but for one reason or another, during Quirino's presidency, it was frequently interrupted (during one interlude, Lacson was convicted of raping his housemaid and sentenced to eight years). But the Padilla case was not forgotten. In his campaign for the presidency last year, Magsaysay would climax his speeches by declaring emotionally: "When I carried the body of Moises Padilla in my arms, it was not the body of Padilla but the body of the humble people...
