of the court.
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.
The trial of Mrs. Jeannette Stewart
Ford, "the woman In the case." under
