Mr. Burleson. Subsequent to that time, did your brother up in Chicago talk to a Mr. Charles Bellows?
Mrs. Grant. Well, Mr. Bellows knew about this case right along because members of the family have known him for 20 or 30 years. I have never known him—I have heard of him—they went to him, and it’s got so sick and sickening here that Earl decided, as a friend, he could help us and he is in the background.
Mr. Burleson. Would you say he is in more an advisory capacity?
Mrs. Grant. Just as a good family friend, and he is, I understand, a very fine great criminal lawyer and he wants to help.
Mr. Hubert. And you are speaking of the present as well as the past?
Mrs. Grant. In the past he didn’t intercede because he figured Belli would be capable. Not that—now, wait a minute—I don’t mean to say that they are not—it’s just after there is so much to it and he has heard how the case was handled, and since Earl went to him.
Mr. Burleson. And Mr. Bellows did make one trip down to Dallas?
Mrs. Grant. Yes; he did.
Mr. Burleson. And stayed a matter of hours and then flew on back?
Mrs. Grant. That’s right.
