Cf. Bogk v. Gassert, 149 U.S. 17 , 13 S.Ct. 738 , 37 L.Ed. 631 [1893].1 “! By introducing evidence, the defendant waives his objections to the denial of his motion to acquit. [Citations omitted.] His proof may lay the foundation for otherwise inadmissible evidence in the Government’s initial presentation, Ladrey v. United States, 81 U.S.App.D.C. 127 , 155 F.2d 417 [1946], or provide corroboration for essential elements of the Government’s case, United States v. Goldstein, 2 Cir., 168 F.2d 666 [1948]; Ercoli v. United States, 76 U.S.App.D.C. 360 , 131 F.2d 354 [1942].” United States v. Calderon, 348 U.S. 160, 164 , 75 S.Ct. 186, 188 , 99 L.Ed. 202 (1954).”
