ABSTRACT
Ordner met John Romano at a gun show in Connecticut in August, 1975. Romano told Ordner that he knew of a contractor who might have blasting work for him. Romano contacted Ordner and made arrangements for him to meet the "contractor" whom Romano had mentioned at their earlier meeting. On August 25, 1975, Romano drove Ordner from Connecticut to New York. Joseph Kelly testified that Ordner told him that he had been engaged in similar activities in the past, and that Ordner offered without hesitation to supply him with pen guns and other firearms. The thespian talents of the Kelly-directed task force were eminently successful. The jury could conclude that Ordner was a willing and indispensable party in every step of the "pen gun" operation. Ordner brought the blueprint and the original prototype. The jury was riot limited to Kelly's testimony in drawing the conclusion.
