WITNESSES EXAMINED TO-DAY

Interest seemed 10 be unabated today in
the case of George L. Goodacre, on trial
for alleged violat'o on of the gambling laws
of the District before justice Stafford. in
Criminal Court No /. BY Justice Stat
ford's order no one was permitted to re-
main standing in the courtroom, and all
seats were occupied throughout both ses-
sionS today.
The defendant. Goodacre. was again ac-
companied to court by Mrs. Goodacre and
a trio of her lady friends, who occupied
chairs on the defendants side of the coun-
sci table. That the defense will rigidly
contest every point offered was obvious
as District Attorney Bakers line of in
qury was developed this morning and At
torneys Henry E. Davis, r. H Behrend
and Campbell Darlington objected time
and again to varying lines of testimony.
Mr.. DAVIS principal counsel Ior the de-
fendant, noted exceptions to every new
point.
The witness, Henry A. Buck of New
York, was recalled to the stand and Dis
trict Attorney Baker renewed the contest
to secure the admission into evidence OF
several copies of the Racing Calendar for
the purpose of proving the running Of Ger
tain horse races at certain places at the
times when the defendant is alleged to
have received wagers upon them
The papers were finally excluded, so
far as Mr.. Bucks testimony was con-
cerned, on the ground that he was not
competent to state that the records OF
horse races in the publication were Off
cial records of the Jockey Club. Neither
was the witness permitted to describe
the Jockey Club or its reasons for being.

ARGUMENT IS HEARD.
Case Against the Pennsylvania
Taken to Supreme Court.

Argument was heard yesterday by the
Supreme Court of the United States in
the case Of the Webster Coal Company
and the Pennsylvania Coal Company
against the officials of the Pennsylvania
railroad. The cases involve a charge of
discrimination by the railroads against
the two coal companies. but it comes to
the Supreme Court on the technical uues-
ton of the right of the Unised States cir
cult court to compel the railroad to ex-
hibit Its books for the benefit of the com
planning organizations. 1t also incident
ally involves the question of jurisdiction
on the part Of the United States circuit
court of appeals, which court took the
position that the exhibition of the books
could not be compelled.
Former Attorney General Griggs ap-
peared for the coal companies and John
G. Johnson for the railroad.

District Attorneys Opening State
ment

u6HI.
Immediately upon the completion of the
jury yesterday District Attorney Baker
made the opening statement TO the jury,
first reviewing the various counts in the
two indictments returned against George
L. Goodacre by the grand jury.
I'VE shall show you that the defendant.
George l.. Goodacre, leased the house at
92s New York avenue and there main
tanned two telephones and one extension,
and that he received bets over the wires
on races to be run at any tracks IN the
country" said Mr.. Baker. We will
show you that certain paraphernaila,
such as sheets known as two-horse par
lay sheets, were found in Goodacre' 5
house.
In the evidence we will prove that the
bets re ceived by Goodacre were regulated
by the odds as shown in a New YORK
morning newspaper, and on the basis OF
the odds thus published the losses or
gains were paid or received by this de-
fendant
I'VE will show further that Goodacr5
received bets from D. William Oyster and
from Will II. Way. and when we show
you these things we will ask you to re-
turn a verdict against the defendant.
Witnesses Called.
Upton B. Edmonston was the first wit
ness called, and by him it was proved

Usher of THE Racing Calendar" official
organ of the Jockey Club. testified to the
uses of his publication by racing men.
long argument followed the offering of
the papers in evidence by the govern
ment District Attorney Baker stating the
purpose to be to prove the running of GER
tain races on certain tracks, and that
they would be connected with the de-
fendant by evidence to show that he had
paraphernalia in his possession when ar
rested containing names of the same
horses listed in the paper. In passing
upon the question Justice Stafford de-
clared that, as the matter then stood, the
papers were not admissible. Similar ac-
ton was taken with reference to books
purporting to be copies of the racing
charts published daily in the Morning
Telegraph, New York.
At o'clock it was seen that neither
side could finish with the witness, MI
Buck. and adjournment was taken.

The real issue in the Goodacre case, the
p'aCing of bets on horse races. was INTRO
duced with the testimony of Dr. Victor II.
t.sch druggist of 14li Maryland avenue
northeast.
Did you ever have business with
George l.. Goodacre?" queried District At
torney Baker as soon as the witness was
sworn.
Yes" replied DR. Esch
And what was it,
Bets on the races Not bets which
placed myself but which were placed by
a clerk in my store"
Did you ever receive money from Mr..
GoodaCre?'
Il received some checks and some
ca Sh."
That was in payment of bets which
had been made for your
Yes"
And what would you do if you lost?''
"A messenger would come out to the
store either the same evening or next
morning to receive the money"
Objections by Defense.
An effort by the district attorney to Sc
cure a description of the checks received
by DR.. Esch brought out the statement
that the witness thought they were signed
George Goodacre." Strenuous objection
was made by Attorney Davis, who argued
that the checks of themselves would prove
to be the best evidence.
I'VE will show, so far the bank
records go, that these Cancelled checks
are in the possession of the defendant"
retorted Mr.. Baker.
Are you willing to waive your rights
in case demand is made for the checks?"
queried Justice Stafford.
Il respectfully decline to answer" re-
piled Mr.. Davis
District Attorney Baker asked if the
checks were not drawn on the Traders
tion was at fault. Asked what the checks
represented, DR.. Esch said he thought
they represented payments of bets won
on the races. The district attorney
tablished that Mr.. Goodacre occasionally
purchased drugs from DR.. Esch, but that
the amount of his purchases could not
approximate the total of any one Of the
checks received by him from Goodacre.
Basis of Bets.
How would you know the amount you
should receive if a horse on which you
