BRIBERY RUMOREO
IN CONBOY Jury
District Attorneys Attaches
Investigate Report OF ''lm-
proper influence"
Prosecutor Says He Expected
Cook and RaiceviCh to
Vote "NOt Guilty"

Two attaches OF the district attor-
ney's office We're yesterday detailed by
Fickert to investigate the report that
F. L. Cook and spiro Raicevich, the
jurors who declined to vote for the
conviction of Michael Joseph Conboy.
former captain of police. charged with
the murder of Bernard Lagan. had
been improperly influenced. Nothing
tangible was reported to the district
attorney up to the time his Office
closed. but he expressed the view that
the circumstances were very suspi-
cious.
"In my address to the jury I talked
most of the time to those two men,"
said Fickert Il did not address them
by name because I did not wish TO do
them an injustice and because it would
have been poor tactics But they were
the two 7 felt [ had TO bring over.
Long before the case was submitted
we picked out Cook and Raicevich as
jurors who prOba bly, would vote for
acquittal. RumOrs had GOMEZ to us that
they were in touch with the police de-
partment. The fact that they. and
they only, voted not guilty is 10 my
mind a circumstance tending to show
that there may have been some foun-
datiOn for the rumOrs.
In justice TO Cook and Raicevich,
however, l will state that nothing tan
gible against them has been brought
to my notice. I have nothing TO go
upon but rumOrs that We're conveyed
TO this office shortly after the jury was
impaneled. 1t was because of these
rumOrs that / talked TO these two men
alone in addressing the jury"
Fickert added that he was some
what Handicapped in investigating
matter of this kind from the fact that
he could not make use of the police
department.
The accusations of perjury against
certain witnesses are 10 be taken up
by the new grand jury as soon as il
has been impaneled.
