Detectives Were Anxious.

A-Bell and I were at the Salt Palace
waiting for the returns CT the Gans-Nel-
son fight when Shannon and Wilson
came in and called me to one side. One
of them said, Il guess we had better take
you down to see the chief told him
the chief knew We were in town, and
what we were doing here. They asked
me what they were going 10 do 10 get
out OF it and ! told them we were not
doing business with them Afterwards
told Bell about it and he said that if
they interfered again we would talk to
the chief about it.
ATTORNEY Soren Y. Christensen for the
defense moved that al the evidence re-
iating to the conversation with Shannon
and Wilson be stricken out as the state
failed to connect the chief with il in
any way.
The witness told of cashing check
in a Second South street saloon for 800
and that later payment had been stopped
on this check and he reimbursed the sa-
ioonkeeper-
Reversible" Check Book.
A peculiar reversible blank check
book used as a part of the outfit of the
bunco men was then introduced In evil
dance and Parent explained its use When
a victim was out of money. he was asked
to write a check on his bank in one of
these peculiar check books. which were
printed so that when the book was turned
over and opened from the back, the ap-
pearance was exactly the same as when
opened from the other side After the
check had been written, the book was
closed on the pretext of blotting the
paper, reversed, and blank check torn
from the other side and folded up by the
swindiers. After ali the money had been
lost and the victim complained. the rob-
hers nnagnanimously tore up the check
they had taken from the check book.
while the one signed by the victim was
still in the check book This was done
to aIlav any suspicion on the part of the
man who was fleeced, that might lead
him to stop payment on the check.
Mixed on the Telephone.
On cross-exanaination the defense scored
by having Parent give the location al
| the telephone in the Halliday Drug store
| from which he said Bell teIephoned 10
Chief Sheets Just prior to paving him
| $3.50 in q secondhand store on State
street The witness stated that the feIe-

spiracy had been consumnated-
