Warwick Haldane, a solicitor will state that he was shown the letter/statement of Howard Lindsay by Mr. Pelly on 11.2.80. He will say that his name is mentioned on pages 3 and4.

Michael Fulton will state that he was shown the letter/statement written by Lindsay by Mr. Pelly on 5.2.80. He will state that he has commented on the whole document and has clarified certain points. He will also state that certain material particulars in the letter were a little incorrect but that generally it bears out some significant facts. He has further stated that he does not wish to make any formal complaint against any Police officers.
130.
Chief Inspector Quinn will state that he was present on various occasions when the SIU met Fulton and that he never threatened or intimidated Fulton or put undue pressure on him to supply information. He will further state that he never made any promise to Fulton that by acting as an informer he had a free licence to carry on his homosexual activities. He did however, wąrn Fulton to try to curb these tendencies for if his name was mentioned by a complainant he would have to investigate the complaint with the possibility of arrest action. He will say that this was in no way a threat. He will state that he has never asked Fulton to arrange a homosexual youth to form a relationship with the deceased with a view to entrapment. He will say that he had a very good working relationship with Fulton but that Fulton was very temperamental and moody and constantly wanting assurances that he would not be subject to arrest. He will state that he has for a number of years been conducting enquiries into homosexuals and that it is completely out of character for him to raise his voice, ridicule or harass them. He will produce two letters from European homosexual defendants who have commended the SIU for their expertise and understanding in handling them.
131.
He will further state that he was shown Lindsay's letter/statement and Mrs. Elliott's statement on 8.2.80 by Mr. Pelly. He will say that he refutes all the allegations made against him and members of the SIU. At no stage was there any conspiracy against the deceased. He is completely unable to understand as to why Lindsay has fabricated such lies in his letter and he considers the contents of the letter to be criminally libelous.
