that Emmitt Warning approached
him again as he walked from the
restaurant, repeating the question
about what he was going to do fol
him.
Denekas said he again replied
Nothing"
The witness said that Fine, driv-
ing him to anotheEcafe in Emmitt's
car. asked him if he received any
money, and Denekas said he told

had paid another juror named

knew Emmitt had sent whisky tc

had no knowledge of it whatsoever.

tioning him closely on whether he
was aware that the services" Fine
talked to him about at his home on
Sunday were to be in behalf OF

MED it, contending that he thought
he was to help Fine. The witness
said he thought perhaps Fine was
involved in some manner in the
Warning case.

During the cross-examination Of
Denekas Justice Laws asked: You
remember when you and other pros
pectlve jurors were asked on voir

you knew Mr.. Warning or had ever
been in contact with him?" Dene-
kas said he did.
Then why didn't you inform the
court of this occurrence?" Justice
Laws asked.
Stumbling in his answer, Denekas
said: We'll, there were two men
standing in front of me and-well,
at first I didn't recognize Emmitt
Warning here in court"
Justice Laws added "You recog-
nlzed this as an unusual happening,
didn't you, having the $500 men
toned and the case discussed at the
same time? Don't you think it was
your duty to have informed the
court?"
Yes, I suppose it was" Denekas
almost whispered.
How did you happen to let this
out at the hotel where the Jury was
staylng?" Justice Laws pressed.
Denekas hesitated, then said halt
ngly: Things just seemed to come
over me. I had intended to inform
the court, but hadn't done it,"
