The conviction of the 10th applicant was unsafe because the evidence was equivocal and insufficient to permit the trial judge to draw an irresistible adverse inference from her silence; where proof is equivocal the prosecution must fail. Sentences imposed were manifestly excessive in several cases; applying the correct starting point of 4 years and adjusting for individual roles, periods of involvement and continuation after raids, substituted sentences were imposed as set out in the orders.
