Calls Costello Defiant Witness
NEW YORK-(AP)-Rudolph Halley, former crime committee quizmaster, says gambler Frank Costello was "definitely defiant" on Senate probers when he twice walked out of the hearings last March.
Halley and Costello faced each other again yesterday, this time during the third session of the gambler's trial for contempt of the Senate.
The defense contends that the 60-year-old Costello suffered a chronic throat ailment during the committee hearings, and physically was unable to bear further questioning.
