He took the center of the center aisle, a bulky figure in a dark serge suit, buttoned shoes and a clerically white tie and shirt. Lorimer’s famous blonde curls bobbed viciously as he tossed his head and shook his body with vio: lent gestures. He removed and re- placed his gold spectacles nervous- ly from time to time. Frequently his voice broke with apparent pathos or rasped as he shouted his diatribes upon his ene- mies.

He said if it had not been for this “perse- eution,” this great project would * have been completed. Lorimer denounced as a “vile in- sinuation” what he said was the attempt to connect Howard Shurt leff with the case.
