““When response to accusatory statement consists of evasion, equivocation or silence, it is for court in first instance to determine whether import of statement is such that it would furnish foundation for proof of conduct, and it is then for jury to decide whether, under circumstances shown, statement called for disclaimer, whether accused replied to it, and whether, if he did not do so, such failure showed criminal intent or consciousness of guilt.””
