Six Recent Suspensions.
Counting these two. there have
been six recent suspensions in the
marshal's Office.
Monday night Deputy Marshal
Clayton D. Gasque was suspended
because of developments in the War
ring case. There was testimony that
Gasque and Upperman, while taking
Charles Rags) Warning to the At
lanta Penitentiary, allowed a pho
tographer to board the train at Un-
ion Station and take picture of
the prisoner, and also permitted
Emmitt Warning to visit his brother
in a drawing room. This is con-
trary tc Federal regulations, Mar
shall Colpoys pointed out. Rags
Warning was beginning term i'm
posed for conviction of completely in
the OBrien gang shooting.
Before the Warning jury scandal
broke, two deputies were suspended
in recent weeks, but neither for
reasons connected with this case.
At the Department Of Justice to-
day it was denied that general
investigation of the marshals office
was planned at this time Attorney
General Murphy was reported lin
dignant" that such occurrences as
have been admitted at the Warning
hearing could have happened in q
Federal court, but it was said that
he had not ordered any action. He
was said to feel that Justice Bolitha
J. Laws and United States Attorney
David A. Pine were dealing promptly
and vigorously with the situation.
New Citations Prepared.
The United States attorney and
his staff were busy today preparing
the three new contempt citations
ordered yesterday by Justice Laws
as he concluded the hearing of the
contempt cases against Emmitt
Warning and Upperman.
While both pleaded guilty and
admitted an understanding that
resulted in gifts of liquor from
Warning to the deputy at the hotel
where Upperman had the jury in
custody, the Governments evidence
was presented for the guidance Of
Justice Laws in determining the
extent of the jury-tampering plot
and the degree of guilt involving
each defendant.
Justice Laws deferred sentencing
Warning and Upperman pending
disposition of the other five cases.
He said he hoped to dispose of "the
entire matter" by next Tuesday.
The three new defendants in the
contempt citations were under bond
today. They are Carl T. Denekas,
juror at the last Warning income
tax trial, and two friends Of Emmitt
Warning, Harry Fine and Thomas
Harrison Quinlan. They were Gov
ernment witnesses at the Warning
Upperman hearing.
Denekas and Quinlan furnished
bonds of $1,000 each yesterday aft
ernoon and Fine posted the $500
bond required in his case. Emmitt
Warning and Upperman are In
custody.
Lawyers Deny Charges.
Mr.. Whelan and Mr.. O'Connell,
who were allowed to give their per-
sonal bonds, are preparing to defend
themselves when their citation is re-
turned in District Court, probably
Friday. The veteran attorneys de-
clare they never gave Upperman
money at any time during their
defense of the three Warning BROTH
ers for alleged income tax evasion
