appellant-defendant, Cleveland Reed, was convicted by a jury of
the offense of corruptly influencing a witness as provided in
K.S.A. 1972 Supp. 21-3806. The record discloses the following

Delores Reed, the common-law wife of Cleveland Reed, take a sum
of money from the laundry premises. Delores Reed was subsequently
arrested by the Wichita Police Department for theft. On August
22, 1972, while Delores Reed was in custody, Cleveland Reed went
to the Holiday Laundry and had a conversation with Miss Dorsey.
This conversation was the basis for the charge upon [213 Kan. 558]

defendant and Miss Dorsey were not in agreement as to what was
said during that conversation. Kitty Dorsey's version of the
conversation was as follows: At the beginning Cleveland Reed
said, "Oh, so you're the one that put my wife in the hospital."
Reed told Miss Dorsey that the police had beaten Delores Reed and
that she had lost a three-months baby. Reed advised Miss Dorsey
that Delores Reed had told him that Kitty Dorsey gave the money
to Delores Reed to do lesbian acts with her. He asked Miss Dorsey
if she was a lesbian and she said "no". He then called her a
lesbian and told her he was going to press charges against her.
According to Miss Dorsey, Reed told her if she had a heart she
would not let things go like that. He said that if he did not
have such good virtues that he would strangle the life out of her
and that he had just "got out of the penitentiary" and that he
would go back if he had to. He said if she had a heart she would
not press the charge any further because Delores Reed had lost
the baby. Reed told Miss Dorsey if she did press charges that she
would live to regret it the rest of her life. Kitty Dorsey
testified that she was scared and that at one point Reed started
toward her and that she told Reed not to touch her. Reed said he
was not threatening her; that was just the way it was. According
to Miss Dorsey that terminated the conversation. Kitty Dorsey
reported the threat to her mother who in turn called the Wichita
Police Department. Subsequently Reed was arrested and charged
with corruptly influencing a witness.
