WIFE UPSETS
BR|BER's STORY
Margaret Lynch Causes
Sensation at Chicago
Trial.

CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-Mrs. Margaret
Lynch, wife Of ex-Bailiff James ]. Lynch.
the confessed jury briber, was the star
witness to-day in the early session of the
trial of Alexander Sullivan, charged with
alleged conspiracy to keep Lynch from
being tried for his crime. She gave the
lie direct to much of her husbands tesu-
mony, on which the State had largely
based its case. She has been separated
from her husband for some time.
Mrs. Lynch denied emphatically that
Alexander Sullivan's name was mentioned
either by her husband or by George P
Murray on the night when Murray is said
to have called on Lynch to ask him to
accompany him to Sullivan's house.
Lynch testified some time ago that Muir
ray said he called at Sullivan's behest
and that Sullivan wanted to send Lynch
for jury bribing. Mrs. Lynch further tes-
titled in contradiction to Lynch that
Lynch had expected Murray to call on
the night in question.
Joseph G. Mann, an attorney of Dam
vile, ILL.,, testified that he was Alexander
Sullivan's associate in the case where jury
bribing was charged and that he exam
ined the jurors. He stated that he had
never had any suspicion of any tampering
done by Lynch, and that he himself had
never had any. dealings with the prose-
cutting witness. strong objection was
made to admitting this testimony on the
ground that it was immaterial. Mann,
however made a personal plea to the
sullied by suspicion cast upon him, and hN
was allowed to speak.

YOUNG JAMES
DEFEATED BY
HONROE GREEN
With Victory in Sight He Is
Compelled to Abandon
the Handball Tournament

Monroe Green and Charles Melrose
earned. the right to the championship OF
the second and third classes last night in
the handball tournament that has been
in progress at the Olympic Club during
the past three weeks.
Green met George James, the phenome-
nal young player, who has gone down the
line defeating the best in his class. James
had victory in his grasp, but his hand
gave out and in the third game he re-
luctantly quit the court, leaving Green
master Of the situation. The contest be-
tween James and Green was productive OF
clever playing. In the first game James
gave wonderfully cIever exhibition and
easily defeated Green. In the second
game James had IA to Green's 4, and was
in line for victory. His hand gave out
at this critical point Every time the
game youngster struck the ball he would
vince with pain. Green, seeing his op-
pOnentS weakness, played all the harder
and took the game in good style. Green
played with renewed confidence and was
winning in his own way. James could
barely use his right hand, and seeing his
case was hopeless wisely gave up the
contest.
Charles Melrose outplayed T. l. Fitz-
patrick in the final game in the third
class. The rubber was full of long rallies
and interesting plays, but Melrose always
toss and all his points were made in open
play Melrose killed cleverly and put
up heady game.
On Sunday afternoon George James and
pionShip of the first class. This game has
attracted a great deal OF interest and
large crowd will be present when these
players meet.

OAKLAND AGAIN
FALLS BEFORE
THE AMERICANS
Waterbury Plays Good Ball,
but Receives Rank Support.
Dudes Hit Fraser Freely

The high-salaried stars from the Amer
lean Baseball League again handed 1t to
the cripples yesterday to the music OF
to 8. The contest was decided i'm
proVement over that of Thursday, though
The cr1pples were woefully weak in the
outfleld. DR.. Moskiman, as if to have re-
Venge on his colleagues for the way they
treated him Thursday, was the arch Of
fender. He dropped simple fly from
Frasers bat in the fourth when two were
gone, Which finally let in two tallies. I'M
medlately after he failed to run fast
enough after chickering's fly. This re-
suited IN two-bagger tor the batsman,
though. the ball should certainly have
been captured. Hamilton also shared in
the ragged fielding, dropping liner from
LaJoie's bat, which allowed couple more
OF the Americans TO trot home.
Waterbury, Ewing's amateur, was on
the slab Tor Oakland and he did himself
proud, allowing but six hits, three of
which should nave been prevented. He
also hit out clean single, scored a run
and made great stop of chickering's hot
grounder in the sixth round. Altogether,
Waterbury did gilt edge work-much bet
perience.
Each side scored in the first inning.
DeVereauX walked, took second on Moh-
ler's pass. went to third on a throW-in
from right field and scored on Streib's
out from snort to first. For the Ameri-
cans Barrett hit, stole second, took third
on an lnheld out and crossed the pan on
Laioie's hit.
Hamilton's error in the third was re-
sponsible for. two runs, and Moskiman' S
poor fielding let in three more during the
next round. The Fasteners made their
last point in the seventh, when Barrett,
after getting four bad ones, sprinted
home on Lajoies double
with the score standing to against
them, the Dudes made a final rally in the
SEVENTH when hits by Waterbury, Dew
ereauX, Streib and Dunleavy, combined
with couple Of bases on balls, netted
three runs and nearly tied the score.

the curves and shoots for the Eastern
men. He was much easier than "Rube -
as the crfpples secured nine safe ones
from him. MERGERS great throw from

liant feature of the game. The score:

Allowed to Make Long Trip Alone
When Court Had Denied
Him Rail

CONCONULLY, Wash, Dec. 13.-W. w
Landes. a prisoner convicted of horse
stealing, sentenced to three years in the
State prison and refused bail while his
appeal is pending, was allowed to ride
alone to LOOMS on private business by
Sheriff H. H. Nichols. So much indigna-
ton was expressed over the Sheriff's un-
usual action that the officer started after
Landes, but of his own accord the pris-
oner returned after two days spent in
LOOMS. He is now in jail again.
Sheriff Nichols peculiar course is ac-
counted for by his friendship for Landes
Before the man came to trial he was al
lowed to go hunting with the Sheriff and
was given many privileges not usually ac-
corded prisoners accused Of horse steal
ing. The Sheriff secuted the idea that his
friend would give him the slip while in
Loonis. Now he is trying to raise a fund
to send Mrs. Landes to Walla Walla with
her husband until the mans appeal can
be heard.

N purse earned on American soil at
Oakland yesterday. The distance
was one mile and his odds were played
down to to 10. The pace set by Rush
