"'Then they proceed to cross examine him, to elicit from him some testimony which they can subsequently use as a basis for perjury’ CANTILLON alleged. ""T think they were surprised when he started to testify. It is apparent this is not a legitimate inqui * ry' “CANTILLON challenged the government to release the entire transcript of the testimony, which he said would bear out his contentions. “NISSEN said CANTILLON was ‘speaking from ignorance rather than knowledge’ but he offered to let Judge CURTIS read privately a transcript of ROSSELLI's first day of testimony May l. “Judge CURTIS retired to his chambers to do so and emerged an hour later with the order that ROSSELLI must answer the questions. “The Judge said the Grand Jury appears to be making an investigation in an area it is entitled to probe, and the scope of the inquiry is legitimate. “However, he admonished NISSEN that some of the questions asked of ROSSELLI appeared to deal with his own culpability and no other person's. He cautioned the prosecutor to be more careful. W WW
