i did not enter my mind until then
70 ilAys the man arrested. ChadWtckl
told me had paid John Lynn In the
4.lattespast ofs Esbruafy OF March,
1901, and that Lynn put the right
names in the jury box, and that Lynn
was to get s25 for each gambler ac.
! quilted or II the jury disagreed. He
said Barney Mcvey was the go.bs-
tween. For some reason, Chadwick
| said. the court threw out the juries.
Nothing turned up Of any conse-
quence until last Wednesday night
when got a letter from Chadwick
that Martin would be in. my Office
on Thursday noon. This letter was
produced by Mr.. Reinhardt and
read. It stated that Martin would
be ready to talk business,' and
also expressed desire that Chief Of
Police Black be invited to Chester
to meet the chief Of police thH@
SO the gamblers could try to n :
him. The letter also contained the
information that Levy made $500 q
day from the ten books he ran id
Wilmington. Mr. Reinhardt ex-
planned that he had previous lot- /.
ter in reference to compensation.
It also was read and stated: "Oh
good, fair, honest play in this city
would be worth IS, 900 or $40, 000."
"There is reference in this let
ter. 1t is understood no demand
for money should be asked. What
does that mean2" continued Mr..
Ward.
SAT meeting subsequent to this
he mentioned to me that I had said
l wanted no money" said Mr.. Rein
hardt, "but when he talked of brib-
cry changed my mind and decided
to get him. He said that Massey
got IS, 900 a month and that Levy
had offered 1000 month to run
seventeen books. The next letter
he wrote me he began to hedge on
the $40, 900 but might get $5,00O,.
and wonld get more later on. He
began to speak of fixing and l "a
l had control of Black. He SAID he
would give me money when any
body needed fixing.
In the letter of June II. inter-
rupted Mr.. Ward, Chadwick says:
I would be glad to arrange an in
terview with Mr.. Black To whom
did he refer2' '--@--~r'-'"g's'-. -
ITO Chief Black"
'Mr. Black had nothing to do
with this'"
mo, sir"
He further says" added Mr..
Ward: II could get the chief at
Chester to write to Black Did he
ever talk to you about the chief at
Chester.
City Solicitor Reinhardt continued
to tell how he led the men on and
received the 800 which he gave to
Attorney General Ward. He was
examined by Mr.. Ball
Mr. Ball moved for the dismissal
Of Martin anl Chadwick II, read
thewarrant, which alleged that Mar
tin paid City Solicitor Reinhardt
800 to obtain information from him
as to when warrants would be issued
"hClCuo lC AClu
that the evidence Of the City Solicitor
himself was that the SlO0 was paid
for the privilege Of engaging in the
policy business. He held that the
warrant alleged a particular thing
which had not been proved. He also
argued that Chadwick was rot con-
nected with the bribery as he was
not present when the money was
paid.
Attorney General Ward in reply,
read from the Revised Code relating
TO bribery, and pointed out that aid
ing and abetting bribery, such as he
claimed had been done by Chadwick,
really constituted bribery under the
law, and that Chadwick II indicted,
would be indicted for bribery the
same as Martin would. lie also held
that the proposition that it would be
worth $40, 900 to City Solicitor Rein
lardt for protection constituted
bribery.
Magistrate Hollis in iismissing
Judge Balls motion, declared he
would have to hold Martin and Chad
wick. The magistrate deemed that
. bargain had been made on Thursday
last, and the deal had been closed on
