Time Magazine Halloween humor column (which played a key role). The joking reference in Time gave warning to the Manhattan District Attorney''s Office that my case could potentially generate nationwide publicity and controversy.

Letter from my attorney Austin Campriello (Princeton '68) to Assistant District Attorney Kim Townsend making a last minute effort to persuade him to read the statute on Citizen's Arrest (by which standard my actions were legal) to the Grand Jury, and thereby de facto to throw the case.

This letter, combined with a lecture delivered by phone at 2:30 AM the night before the Grand Jury, succeeded.

Letter and enclosed check from Lee Sarah Liberman (now Lee Otis). My wife and I both deeply appreciated Lee's kindness, but we did not feel it would be right to accept it, and never cashed her check. I kept it in the scrapbook with all the rest of this material, and many decades later I took it out and mailed it back to her with a thank you note.
