2\/16\/84<\/strong>: Sergeant FLOTHE and Sergeant HAUGSVEN meet with D.A. FRANK ROTHSCHILD who advises that HANSEN, through his attorneys, has related that he wants to “clear the decks.” ROTHSCHILD indicates that HANSEN tentatively wants to set the interview up for Friday, 2\/18\/84, after he has had a chance to visit with his priest. D.A. ROTHSCHILD requests that an interview be set up at the district attorney’s office since that (sic) the recording equipment can be hidden from view.<\/p>\n

Hansen was cracking inside the confines of a cell. On Thursday, February 16, Flothe got a call from Frank Rothschild. \u201cI want you to come down here and meet with us,\u201d he said. \u201cRight now if possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s it about?\u201d Flothe asked, sensing an undercurrent of triumph in Rothschild\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n

\u201cHansen\u2019s attorney just called. Hansen says he wants to \u2018clear the decks.\u2019 Those were Dewey\u2019s<\/a> exact words. \u2018He wants to clear the decks.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll be right down,\u201d Flothe answered. All the way downtown, Flothe kept repeating the refrain in his head. \u201cHe wants to clear the decks, he wants to clear the decks.\u201d The moment of truth had finally come.<\/p>\n
