Fox said he drove Mrs. Talbot to
two restaurants on Sixth Avenue,
where admittance was refused, and
then drove to 34th Street and Ninth

purchase liquor for her and he knew
he could get it there. He went into

Fox declared, and told him to drive

on the way there, opened the window
and screamed, attracting the detec-
