 Did you not know that Greenberg was only the liquor prosecutor in New Britain" asked Lawyer Berry.
 T read in the papers at the time. | of his appointment as a prosecutor" answered the witness.
 Didn't duplicate Richardson.
 Aslied if he had made the statement | that S250 was to go to Richardson, | Denison said this was not so. What | he did say, the witness testified to, | was that he had told V&rioa that he , had to put in considerable detective | work in locating the liquor, and he | the extra S200 demanded | was honestly earned.
 Tt may be that Nariola misunder stood me when l said about the detec- i've work, and thought I was allud- ng to Richardson said Denison.
