When Warrlner's lawyers entered a plea of guilty their client raised his bead and made a wild, passionate declaration of the agonies he had suf fered during the years that, high in the confidence of his employers and bis fellow citizens, he had' been en gaged a systematic theft. He con cluded with an appeal for an Immedi ate sentence. Of the $643,000 Warriner is alleged to have taken from the Big Four rail road, less than half has been account ed for by him. There have been many stories circulated that he had secret ed part of the money, but these have not been verified. Prosecutor Hunt stated he would not present further charges against Warriner to the grand Jury unless it s shown that he had money hidden away. If this should be discovered the prosecutor said Warriner can still be prosecuted, as the crime never is outlawed.
