When this was found to lie impracticable, the women say that an ffort was made to get live or fix witnesses swear that Heney had l-een seen with Miss Ware under compromising c' renin stances. Miss Warr Says That she was MXM altei asked to lend herself to a plot to trap Heney, by going to s me lodging house, where they could lie foand together. This failing, she says ti e next effort was to have her Buneent ta a ehnrga that she had been with Heney in such manner. Then John CordawO, ex-detective and deputy sheriff, called on her o le even ing, says the woman, bringing a Untie of champagne and subsequently a Imttle of whiakey and phad her diligently in the effort to get her d-iink. He i asked her what she had testified to be foie the grand jury, she alleges, and wanted her to visit John Hall's office. " "n,,t M-'J At a still later date.
