TO ADMIT ALL
But The GUILT
That Seems to Be the Plan Of De-
Tense Adopted by Col.
Ames' Counsel.
The Case Is Opened by the State and
the First Evidence
Put In.
Addie Mills, the Chief Accuser,
Proves an Unwilling, but APP
parently Straight Witness.

The state, in the trial Of Fred Ames,
proposes to show that the former CHIEF OF
police visited about twenty-five disreputa-
BILE resorts, at one period of his career as
a city official, and issued instructions re-
garding the graft" The women con-
cerned will be placed upon the stand to
testify and are expected to swear that
Chief Ames instructed them to stop pay
ing money to Irwin A. Gardner, up to that
time the Administrations go-betWeen, and
to pay no more money to anyone until
they heard further from him. The proof
is expected to show also that Freddy
Cohen appeared upon the scene later In
company with a city detective and pur-
Suant to orders from the chief; and that ne
informed the women that they must pay
tribute to him. One Of these women, ADJ
die Mills told her story in court this
morning, and it bore out the contention of
the state In every detail.
The defense, as indicated by questions
put to the Mills woman in cross examina-
ton, is ingenious. Chief Arnes will ad-
nit that he made the tour referred to. He
will also admit that he instructed the
women seen to cease paying money to
Gardner; but he will deny that Cohen
acted under his authority; and he will also
deny that he ever received a penny Of the
money paid in to Cohen, or that he knew
of its collection. That much is evident
as the result Of this mornings proceedings
In court. The issue is already sharply de-
fined, and the case will be fought out
despere tely on both sides. There was
much speculation to-day regarding the
nature Of Cohen's testimony if he is called.
One theory advanced is that he will a6-
NIT collecting money but will say it was
paid over to we'll known sporting man.
now dead, who was known to be close to
the administration. In this event Cohen
will not help the state much.
Proceedings this morning were inter-
rupted by almost constant objections in

Boardman. The defense is leaving Moth
