...executive assistant; and Guy Lord, 26, a former special assistant to Favreau-were pressuring him to take it easy in an extradition case. Lamontagne was working for the U.S. Justice Department, which sought the extradition of one Lucien Rivard, a Montreal racketeer wanted on a narcotics-smuggling rap. Lamontagne claimed that Denis offered him $20,000 not to fight bail for Rivard; the other three, said Lamontagne, tried to apply political pressure.

...Mallory v. U.S. (1957) forbade federal (but not state) police to use statements produced during prolonged pre-commitment interrogation. That rule saved Andrew Mallory from a death sentence for rape in Washington, D.C. In 1960, Mallory raped a woman in Philadelphia, was convicted, and is now serving a state rap of 1½ to 23 years...
