Chicago Tribune story on Dec. 5, 1969. The ordinary news stories mentioned that they were Chicago cops assigned to the States Attorney's office on special duty. No mystery or need for inquiring into conspiracy. Probably but not necessarily the States Attorney was acting on Hoover's or someone else's suggestion, but I know nothing about that.
