pursuant to his understanding with Mr. Agnew and Wolff, Hammerman. re-
tained 25% of the payments and delivered to Wolff his 25% share. , Hammerman .
generally held Mr. Agnew's 50% share in a safe-deposit box until Mr. Agnew called
for it. From time to time Mr. Agnew would call Hammerman and ask how many
"papers" Hammerman had for him. It was tinderstood between Mr. Agnew and
Hanmerman that the term "paper" referred to $1,000 in cash. Hammerman would
tell Mr. Agnew how many "papers" he had, and Mr. Agnew would ask Hammerman
to bring the "papers" to him. Hammerman would then collect the cash from his
safe-deposit box and personally deliver it to Mr. Agnew in his office in |
Annapolis or in Baltimore or wherever else Mr. Agnew would designate.
The cash which Wolff received from Hammerman was initially kept in
Wolff's home. It was then transferred to two, and later, three safe-deposit
boxes, two in Baltimore, and one in Washington. Most of the money was spent
on ordinary personal expenses over a period of more than four yeats. A small
portion of it was used by Wolff to make payments to other public officials
in order to obtain work for the two consulting firms which he had sold before
he -had become Chairman of the State Roads Commission, but in which he still had
a financial interest. Wolff kept detailed contemporaneous documents on which
he recorded the dates, amounts, and engineering firm sources of the monies that
he received from Hammerman as his share ef the proceeds of the scheme. These
records are among a large volume of corroborative documents that Wolff has
turned over to the United States Attorney's Office.
