Ossorio, who was chairman of the parent Drysdale firm, steadfastly maintained his innocence, saying last week that he was entering a guilty plea only to avoid "prolonged and expensive" litigation. Said he: "I voluntarily plead guilty even though I do not believe I am guilty." Co-Defendant Heuwetter, the owner of Drysdale Government Securities, said that the charge against him was "substantially" true. Said he: "I had hoped that I could make up the losses...
