t - ture Senate "whip" was so nervous during a p ( aate &.. maGe thé acy person(s} made the fitst two calls on that be unimportant, or why, as well as who made the 6:30 o.m. call. = OTT ER a ee Oe ee ES ne ee eae Tae eee SE eae Smee nee ee a rr ee ee en ee of calls and that Mr. Malloy had a fair ‘stack of those operator's originaj call cards; otherwise, why should there have been a compil- ation o& & Sheet of paper? And only four, selected at random (7), receive@ notice and comment? Mr. Kennedy did quite a bit of tele- phoning later that Saturday morning, and so did fr. Markham, accoca=- ing to Jack Olsen.18/ This was from the Police Station. In fact, requesting to use a telephone was the first thing the Senator did . upon his arrival, and Mr. Olsen tells us further that the then fu- art of this time that he required assistance in dialing. Moreover, a number of these calls (both by Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Markham) were to points in several other states. It seems reasonable, also, that the twenty-four- minute call begun at 10:57 was made by the Senator to Mr. and Ers. Kopechne. Some of the other frantic calls no doubt concerned get-- ting Mary, o's body off the island as quickly as possible, but let Zad Rus tell you about that. And @id anyone overlook Mr. Parrott's phrase that Mr. Mzli- had "just about all" of the cards with him? Can there be any cther _ conclusion but that both Mr. Malloy and Mr. Parrott were concealing ot her calls of which both had knowledge? His Honor overlooked it. Consider the brief colloquy that immediately followed the last response: . THE COURT: Do you want to offer this as an exhibit? MR. DINIS: Well, your Honor, I don't see any harm in otfer- ing it for the record. THE COURT: It doesn't at the moment tell me anything. MR. DINIS: No, it doesn't, and it may not, but we will make it part of the record. HE COURT: Exhibit No. 4, I believe. : One reason the records didn't tell his Honor anything at that moment or at any later moment may have been that no further ques- - tions were asked, not of the Senator nor of anv of the severa? wit- nesses who followed. Such questions might have been for example: Who besides the Senator held credit cards billable to his accoant, in Boston and/or elsewhere?. Who made any of the numerous caiis, to whom, and why? ; More important, his Honor displayed no interest whatever in calls that might heave been charged to either his Washington account or the one in Virginia. We may deduce, then, that the "someone" who was curious about telephone calls emanating from Martha's Vine- yard on those two jays that were directly connected with Senatcr. Edward Kennedy was not the Honorable James A. Boyle. ‘ But there was other interest; active interest. And sore of the other active interest was outside the judiciary machinery of 18/ The Bridve at Chermasuiddick, p. 138, 139.
