He said, 'Emmitt Warning"
Il said I couldn't come by Pete's
Then Warning wanted me to fol-
low him home.

come to the Office.
He said, I don't want to do
that
Il told him to come to the Of
fice. Warning agreed. I instructed
Corpl. Causey George E. Causey)
and Pvt. Reid ernest N. Reid
not to leave the Office and I ex-
planned to Causey who was COM
ing.
II had some one else in the
Office at the time when 1t. Roch-
ford CIT. James L. RochforO told
me, Emmitt Warning wants to
see you,' at 4:10 pm. I said bring
him in. Emmitt walked in. I
asked him to sit down. Then I
sat down and he glanced out of
the corner of his eye at Reid.
Il said. That's all right. He's
okay.'
"Warring, talking in a low voice
and directly at me as though he
still didn't want Reid to hear the
conversation, said:
Have you heard about the
committee?' They are concerned
about gambling cases in the third
precinct. I have talked to Beach
presumably Capt. Beverly Beach
Of No. y. too. Has any one called
you about it?'
II said, No. I was told the
hearings do not start until next
week."

At this point Capt. Richitt re-
lated the conversation as follows:

the committee?
Warrington, no. The boss
called me.

places in the Third Precinct op-
Grating except in private houses.
and you know you can't raid a
private house without a warrant.

really made the headlines lately.
(Referring to the holdup at War
rings home)
Warring-No, that was my
cousin.
tStill talking in low voice.

Warring-No. that was me.
Richitt-How'd they find out
about it?
Warrington, I called the boss
rs soon as it happened.
. Gave Robbery Details.
Richitt continued,
"Warring then proceeded to give
me details on the robbery. The
details stuck close to the version
given reporters by police. But in
Warnings version, when the men /
forced their way into Warnings
house with a crate of oranges,
William Cady warnings brother
tn-law) was forced to sit down
near a wall. There was a gun
nearby. and Cady reached for it
and 1t slipped to the floor. AS
Cady was attempting to pick up
the gun by the barrel, the hold-up
men spotted this and whipped
him across the hand with a pistol,
breaking three bones in his hand.
Richitt says this conversation I
then followed:
Warring-I'd like to see you
sometime.
Richitt: Here I am.
CAT that point. Capt. Richitt
said. Warning, still seated.

pocket and was working his
hand up and down as though
he had roll of bills in it. He
kept moving his hand up and
down as he talkedD

He said he wanted to see me right
away. He said Fischbach was 60
ing to have me up on the investi-

Then I told Mcleod the story.
Mcleod said: Tell the truth when
you're under oath
Mcleod then called Fischbach
and I repeated the story again.
Fischbach asked about a differ
ent official in the department,
not Barrett.
"Fischbach said to me, I
might say this. A hi2h-ranking
official told me lot about what
you mentioned and that you are
a man who can stand on his own
feet ......... ..
