Guthrie had anid that he had talked to him, he said that he had a bad memory.
sas he sure that he had removed nothing from the file? Definitely! Under ques-
tioning, he became very upnet and forcefully restated all that he had said,
someone wha saw him later that day said that he was atill upset,
Unfortunately for Rivers and whoevor gave the order, two people had seen and
read the never issued .279 form in ‘Popeye's parole file, shortly before his
curiosity moved him to call for it. The file had been in a particular place
in the middle of a stack of similar files that were in no particular order
and, since Popeye's death, no one else had asked to see it. While it is not
appropriate to name the two persons who saw and read the 279 form at this time,
they are both prepared to testify, under oath, in the unlikely event that any
official body wishes to undertake an investigation of Corrections and the par-
ole board. The governor and one of his aides were asked to break the wall of
silence and deception that was being built, but he did not respond. It must
be assumed that he approved of what his Chairman did.
The 279 form wasn't even an important document; it used John Williams’ words,
almost verbatim, as reasons for not violating Popeye's parole. When Pro orders

cluded that no one orders a cover up when there is nothing to cover up.

cane becnune he had more important things to do. The case was airtight and
required absolutely no effort, Judd Sectt admits that it fa possible Popeye

that Popeyefa case would have been dealt with so leiniently by a board that
