They claim Hackman’s accusa- | tions are false in every detail and that politics did not enter into the affair at any time. Mackman denied all charges of perjury and all other charges made against him. ‘‘I am not any; more guilty than my little 9-year- | old daughter,’’ he said. | In declining to make a specific statement in denial of the charges | Hackman said he was not at lib- | erty to do so, His case isyentire-| ly in the hands of his attorney, he said, and all statements would have to emanate from that source. | Hackman returned to Warren-; ton yesterday afternoon.
