CRESCEUs'S RECORD.
Owner Ketcham ExOnerated, But Wich- ita Track OmciaIs Severely
 Punished.
Chicago dispatch.

| Chicago dispatch. George H. Ketcham, of Toledo. O.,
 was found not guilty of establishing a
 fraudulent record for his trotting stall | lion. Cresceus, at the Wichita, Kas., track on October 19, 1903, after a hear ing of the case before the Board of Appeals of the American Trotting As
 soc iation here tonight. The alleged
 worlds record of 1859 3-4 for the horse was thrown out.
 The board declared that the evidence fell short of suff1ciency in establishing
 criminal participation in the claimed | fraudulent agreement for an illegiti-
 mate record. so far as MT. Ketcham was concerned. ft.v The story detailed by Starter Jor- dan, of the Wichita track, who de- clared to the board that MT. Ketcham had arranged with him to fix the time of Cresceus so that the worlds mite | record would be broken" the decision declares, 'is not without considerable lcorroboration in matters of minor de- tail.
 We must, however, view the case before us wholly from the evidence we
 have acknowledging that the chief fac tor has certainly convicted himself of falsehood, and especially in view of the
 sweeping and unequivocal denial of di- rect or indirect participation made by
 MT. Ketcham we must determine that
 the evidence to establish his connection
 with the fraud and intrigue lies at the
 foundation of this attempted record"
 While freeing MT. Ketcham from the
 charge, the board found the officials of the Southern Kansas Fair Associa- tion, on whose track the race was run, guilty of connivance to establish a fraudulent record, expelling from the
 American Trotting Association Presi-
 dent c. H. Irwin and all the other off, cers connected with the Wichita track
 at that time.
 The persons expelled by the board besides MT. Irwin were S. B. Amiden. judge; A. c. Jordan. Fred Stearns and
 H. T. Flames. all of whom were found
 by the board to have participated in
 the announcement and establishment
 of the fraudulent record of the horse Cresceus
 The expulsion of these officials also
 means that the worlds record for trot- ting stallions of 1:59 3-4. claimed to
 have been made by Cresceus, Is not all lowed by the board.
