lowed by his making a written state
ment. Mayor Dorsey denied that he
mad encouraged Gadek to make the

made any promises to Gadek in or
der to get him to make this state
ment. The statement, which the
mayor said was voluntarily made by
Gadek, was then read to the jury. 1t

rels to Maurer and then to the woods
near Sunset Inn. Returning to the
city Gadek Joined them and they
again returned to the wagon which
they brought into the city.

nothing to do with the holdup, a de-
NAL being made that he received any

plot to steal the liquor will be made
as this phase does not enter into the
