arrest. The subpoenas were there and when Williams looked at them he told Rogers that Borders' arrest had nothing to do with drugs. Someone (Moultrie ?) suggested that they simply lock up the office and leave, and that is what they did. He stated that he did not learn anymore about basis for the arrest that afternoon. However he did learn that the FBI had been looking for Hastings.

Throughout that evening people expected Borders to arrive at any time. Even though they knew that he had been arrested they expected him to be released, and the boat departure was delayed, waiting for Borders' arrival. Similarly after the boat ride, people gathered in the suite which Borders had reserved at the L'Enfant Plaza and waited for Borders to arrive. There were a number of judges present and other influential people and a number of people were making phone calls to try to effectuate Borders' release.

Borders was not released until the next morning. Williams picked him up at the jail and drove him to his home. Williams says that Borders was angry and that he "smelled to high heaven." Williams took Borders to Borders' home.

He

Williams did not discuss the subpoenas with Borders. assumes that Rogers gathered all of the subpoenaed documents. He remembers her fussing around gathering them, and complaining to John Shorter that some of the items were in the basement and all dusty, etc. He says that there always people in the office on the weekend. However he assumes that Rogers gathered the materials on a weekday since it would be unusual for her to be there on a weekend.

Williams stated that he had continued to see Hastings subsequent to the indictment. In fact he testified as a character witness at Hastings' trial. When questioned about whether Hastings had ever expressed to Williams Hastings' feelings about Borders subsequent to these events, Williams stated that Hastings had said to Williams "You know, I'll always love Bill. He's always been a friend to me."

Williams knows Hemphill Pride but not well. He met him at about the same time that he met Hastings. He remembered that Bill had virtually supported Pride at some point during Pride's troubles with the law. Bill Had been a "true blue" friend to Pride. Pride was at Borders' house when Williams brought Borders home from jail the day after the arrest. Williams stated that he had never been asked to do anything on behalf of Pride. However when asked whether he had ever heard anything about any campaign to help pride by writing letters in his support or giving money, he stated that he had heard that such an effort had been undertaken, although he had no present recollection of the timing of that effort.

Williams denied having met or having heard of Dredge prior

to Borders' arrest.

Williams stated that although Borders' court practice was local, he had deals all over the place. He always thought of Borders as a "fix-it" man.
