Q. Did you show Deputy Marshal

Responding to further questions.
Upperman said, my son gave his
mother a 500 bill and she gave it to
me the next morning to put in the
bank"
Justice Laws asked Upperman
when he showed the two deputies
the 500 bill and the witness replied
that it was two or three weeks be-
fore he got the money from Attorney
Whelan.
Upperman said, as defense counsel
prodded him with further questions,
that in order to pay Mrs. Upperman
the $l00 bill, their son had cashed
a Christmas fund check for 500.
Asked if he didn't think it was
strange that his son had converted
the check into a 500 bill instead
of simply indorsing it and handing
it to his mother, Upperman said:
Il didn't give that any thought

Later In the examination Upper

$lOO bills came few and far between
in his life, that there was time in
his career when he handled plenty
of zoos. This was when he was a

explained.

that Upperman had not told him
about showing the 500 bill to the
deputy marshals.
Police Chief Ernest w. Brown ad-
mitted that undercover agents are
seeking some tangible proof of re-
peated rumors that policemen were
cut in on the huge profits Of the

Case Called Disgrace"
Attorney General Murphy de-
clared yesterday afternoon that the
local case, in which Emmitt Warning
and Deputy Marshal John B. Upper
man have admitted plotting to in
f1uence jurors, is a disgrace" which
ought to outrage the sensibilities
Of everybody"
Whalen and O'Connell were
brought into the case only through
Upperman's statement on the wit
ness stand. Upperman said Mr..
O'Connell gave him $40 during the
first Warning trial, and Mr.. Whelan,
at the deputy's request, paid him
$100 to put on a $3.50 note after the
trial had ended in a hung jury.
Emmitt Warning contradicted this
version, declaring it was he who
gave Upperman this money. Emmitt
also denied that he ever gave either
attorney money for Upperman, who
was custodian of the juries at both
trials.
Emmitt and Upperman promptly
pleaded guilty when they were
brought into court Monday. Justice
Laws indicated that he would defer
sentence until he had disposed of
the other cases, expressing hope

A. Yes.
Q. Did you tell me that you had
to make certain arrangements?
A. Yes.
@. What did I tell you?
A. You told me that you thought
you would lock them up, but for me
not to tell anybody.
@. Did you tell anyone?
A. Absolutely not.
@. You said the arrangements
meant you had to notify the hotel
and pack some bags. Was that
what you meant by arrangements?
A. Yes.
Exact Time Uncertain.
Mr.. Doyle tried to get the witness
to describe the time and the exact
place in the courthouse where Mr..
O'Connell allegedly gave him SO,
but Upperman could not recall
when during the half
days the jury was out it had hap
pened. At one point the attorney
for Mr.. O'Connell asked, Have you
all your faculties at this time?"
Il believe have" said Upperman.
In response to another question,
Upperman denied that he bought a
weekend supply of liquor for the
jury while it was being taken from
the courthouse to the hotel.
Justice Laws pressed the witness
to say exactly where the $40
assertedly had been paid, asking,
You didn't think that was quite

nose. He shook his head and hoped
to one side. Then he looked up
again. Near the top Of the tree was
a branch which the wind and ice
had broken some time recently, and
hanging from the end of it was a
little silvery drop. Even as Peter
looked it fell, and another began
to form in it's place. Could it be
ice melting? Peter hastily looked all
the branches over and saw there
was neither ice nor snow on them.

he began to get really discouraged.
II don't believe Lightfoot saw any

to himself. Probably he saw drop

not be long delayed. It would be a
sure sign that winter days were
nearly over and that the snow and
the ice would soon be gone. Do you

II ought to have asked him which

There are ever so many maple trees

then he began to hop about every
which way. All the time he kept his
eyes rolled up so that he could see
up among the branches. No, he
wasn't looking for Welcome Robin
or Winsome Bluebird. You didn't

High School Band
Being Organized

Key West is Rshave high
school band of fifty boys and
girls by the first of March. Di-
rector KlebSattel-sayS that plans
are progressing nicely and that
the goal is possible.
Music aptitude tests will be
given next week to grades four
through ten to determine the boys
and girls best adapted to various
band instruments. This careful
selection of ability helps the
pupils get the right instrument.
Lessons will be free to all who
join the first month. Mr.. Kleb-
sattel says: IF you want your
child to take advantage of the
fun and wholesome development
a band will offer, get that old
instrument out of the attic and
come over to the high school any
afternoon after school. l will be
glad to answer questions you
may have and sign up your child
for free instruction.
Continuing, Mr.. Klebsattel said:
IF there isn't an old horn in the
attic there is an excellent rental
plan which permits use of instru-
ments at low cost. These instru-
ments are brand new, of good
quality and made especially for
use in school bands. There will
be a display of these instruments
SOON.
