In return, Holsinger said. Ryan received the letter from Lane, who ap- parently was acting as attorney for Jones. Ryan responded to Lane Nov. 10. Despite the unfriendly tone of Lane's letter, Holsinger said he did not believe the attorney knew Ryan would be killed. Ryan and four others were slain Saturday as they prepared to leave Guyana. Lane, also in Guyana during the weekend, escaped injury. Holsinger said Ryan believed once he arrived in Guyana he would be able to convince the cultists "he really was there on a mission searching for the truth." Lane's letter informed Ryan that "under certain circumstances" the cult would be willing to host the delegation, but. the letter continued, "various agencies of the U.S. government" had consistently oppressed the People's Temple, and, T am now exploring the matter fully in order to bring an action against those agencies .. ." He said two different countries "neither one of which has entirely had friendly relations with the U.S." offered to receive the 1,200 Americans Ervil LeBaron Wife ATTORNEY MARK LANE now residing in Jonestown, Lane wrote. "Thus far the People's Temple has not accepted either of those offers, but it is their position that if religious persecution continues and if it is furthered through a witch hunt conducted by any branch of the U.S. government, that they will be constrained to consider accepting either of the offers. "You may judge, therefore, the important consequences which may flow from further persecution of the People's Temple and which might very well result in creation of a most embar-rassing situation for the U.S. government." Ryan replied to Lane that he was not impressed and that his purpose was to give Jones and his followers a fair hearing "No 'persecution as you put it is intended. Mr Lane." Ryan wrote. "But your vague reference to the creation of the most embarrassing situation for the American government does not impress me at all "If the comment is intended as a threat. I believe it reveals more than may have been intended I presume Mr Jones would not be supportive of such a comment ."
