...calls from Johnson. "He was a mixed-up guy," says Hughes, "who has been in crime ever since he was a kid. He likes to talk and I like to sit back and listen." Two months ago, Johnson stopped calling, after police started looking for him as a suspect in the strangulation murder in a Los Angeles suburb of one Richard Fagner, who had befriended Johnson...

Roosevelt, who (the French suspect) filled him full of anticolonialism. He later ignored his aged advisers and heeded his son Moulay Hassan, who was mixed up in the Istiqlal (Nationalist) independence movement...
False Security. In Providence, R.I., twice arrested and released when detectives mistook him for a murder suspect, Calvin Coolidge Corl, 28, indignantly demanded a guarantee that he would not be picked up again, but was promptly locked up after police queried his home town, learned that he was wanted for forgery...
