WARREN GIVEN
LIQUOR BY AGENTS
CLAIMS DEFENSE

Allegations of the defense coun-
sci that Warren was given Liquor
by the revenue officers he is &C
cused OF killing in order to tricI
him into giving or selling them
liquor. and the testimony support
ing this allegation given by Henry
Petite, another Indian, who was
with Warren on the night OF the
double killing, were easily the
outstanding features OF the trial
yesterday.
The audience that crowded the
court room and shuffled about in
the seats became unusually quiet
as the defense charged that War
rem had been given a drink early
in the evening by one OF the mem
bers Of the raiding party in pool
room. and that later the Indian
had been again given booze at the
dance hall by Todd and Price. A
third man, also suspected of being
an accomplice Of the officers,
shortly afterward gave Warren
another drink outside the dance
hall and cached the bottle, small
brown one, nearby, the defend
ants attorney asserted.
Cached Bottle Used.
Later in the evening Price asked
Warren to get them a drink, and
IL was the cached bottle that the
indian brought to them and was
arrested for selling, said Attorney
Hayter
Supporting these allegations
Petite testified that he and War
rem were given drinks by jeff Per-
ny. stoolpigeon for the revenue
men, and that the liquor was
"moonshine" which Perry had in
q small brown beer bottle.
Petite declared that although
the revenue men ordered he and
Warren to get into their car when
Warren later gave them small
bottle OF liquor, the officers did
not utter word to reveal their
identity until after the scuffle. in
which Warren was struck on the
head with gun by Price, and not
until after Warren had gone to his
fathers house for gun.
