The jury had been going into
Cohen's payments in recent years
since the U. S. Senate Crime com
mittee, headed by Senator Estes
Kefauver (D-Tenn.) drew admis
sions from him in recent hearings
that he had borrowed some $300,000
in recent years with practically no
security.
Cohen said he had no comment.
He recently told reporters: “I'm
clean (legal'. But they'll indict me
because the word is out to 'get
Mickey Cohen'.” .
Indicted with Cohen was his
attractive wife, Lavonne.
