Perishables in St. Paul.He notified them "that he was short nineteen hindquarters, that he knew where the beef went, and that he would make good on it out of future settlements."L.T.L. told him to contact the New York police but he failed to do so.Shortly thereafter, he was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and indicted for the embezzlement of goods moving in interstate commerce.Explain whether Waronek was guilty of the crime of embezzlement.
