It was all a mistake!'' she blurted Our assodste Les Whitten asked whether she wanted to change her story But she just repeated in a broken voice: "It was all a mistake!'' There was no reconciling her She had been a crucial witness in our investigation of the attempted Vesco fix We had interviewed the ringleader RL Herring in jail and had obtained an affidavit from him scrawled on lined yellow paper in his cell A crack private detective Richard Baat had put him for 14 Herring under oath and hours on tape Bast's Instructions were to break down Herring’s store if he could Bast concluded that Herring was telling the truth We listened to the full 14 hours In painstaking detail Herring told of his attempt to influence the Carter administration and of the 810 million payoff through a series of complex financial transactions Herring swore that through Spencer Lee he had made contact with Jordan and Kirbo and had received the greeen light from them to go ahead with the Vesco deal Still Herring was hardly a credible witness a shady operator awaiting trial on unrelated fraud charges We also questioned Vesco in Nsssau tor three days We drew from him s grudging cautious confirmation of the Georgia connection We persuaded him to write in his own hand a brief chronology iff his contacts with the Georgia fixers Perhsps the most interesting item was one dated Feb 8 1977 Scribbled Vesco: "SL At Washington Hilton V talks to HJ” This was Vesco's shorthand for reporting that he had spoken over the phone to a man introduced as Hamilton Jordan during Spencer Lee’s visit to Washington But an international swindler also is not a credible witness There were paper tracks — telephone message slips appointment schedules and flight logs which panted to Jordan and Kirbo Some of the other conspirators also gave us affidavits Still we felt the evidence was inconclusive and the witnesses tainted Then we discovered the presence 4 a Snow White among the seven dwarfs Gerlyn Hobbs Impressed us over a month-lon- g period as a sensitive guileless roman Her firneds and neighbors confirmed Hells the truth" and “she would never lie" Hobbs could authenticate the messages and letters We questioned her carefully we asked her to tell the truth nothing more nor less It was her sworn word that she mailed the letters more than anything else that persuaded us to go ahead with the stay The angry men involved — Jordan Kirbo and Lee — indignantly denied that they knew anything about the letters It was to be her word supported ter the telephone message slips against the White House itself No wonder Gerolyn Hobbs could not sleep and resorted finally to tears By all accounts she was panicky when she was swan in on the witness stand Long after the pauage of time hu caused these amts to recede the courtroom scene will remain in our memory This shy slender secretary with nothing to gain unable to defend herself stuck to ha story Site spoke softly almost inaudibly at times Yu she had typed and mailed the embarrassing letters to Jodan and Kirbo “I was impressed by the nama” she testified “They were important people” © United Feature Syndicate cross-examin- ed Deaf mute goes home to family CITY tally retarded and then Cola (UPI) — Fa more made a round of otha than a half century InarttutinM them of None Pearl Baba was a had she recognized forgotten person normal intelligence Ha family including Now at age 74 she has six brothers and sisters rediscovered ha family thought she died ss a in Cotorado On the day youngster in a Kansu one of ha brothers was school the deaf buried Peart Barba Actually Miu Barba finally lasted ha sister deaf and mute since Lulamae Stake "It just seems like God cfaildhod spent 34 years in a hone for the men- -
