The Reverends Ralph Main Case and Raymond Atterbury, testified to the good repute of the defend- ants. The defense rested the main case early in the afternoon. Olmsted ,{" Stand Roy Olmsted, ofie of the star wit- nesses for the government, was re- called to the stand in rebuttal and said former District Attorney Re- velle visited him in prison at Mc- Neil Island and urged him to be silent about his payments of bribe money. Ralph Reed, special agent of the Internal Revenue Department, said ‘Whitney failed to furnish him rec- ords requested during investigation of Hubbard and' Fryant. Howard Bell, former dry agent, assigned to listen in on tapped tele- phone lines, said he overheard con- versations of bootleggers indicating considerable liquor was coming in. This is a contradiction of defense witnesses who sald they overheard Whitney mention Hubbard's name. Bell said Whitney explained that it was “another Hubbard,” and he should “take care of the phones,” and Whitney would take care of:the Test.
