GOODMAN ON THE,
STAND RELATES
THE FIGHT STORY
Man Who Alleged He Was De-
frauded Out of So, 900
is Witness
AGAINST We'll, NOW IN JAIL
Newspaper Man Pointed to Where to
Get Facts and Then Made a
Witness Of.

Judge Graves, sitting as commit
ting magistrate in the circuit court
this afternoon, opened the preliminary
hearing of Joseph R. We'll, accused of
Swindling Edward Goodman out of
$4,000 in a fake prize fight near the
Watch Tower Feb. 4.
Goodman was the principal witness
for the prosecution. He went into
details of the manner in which he al
legged he had been worked up TO the
point of betting his money against
that of the "millionaires' club" men,
bers. Gully Flanagan, according TO
his story, being used as come on"
purporting to be himself putting up
the greater part of the cash and get
ting Goodman in to supply the bal
ance, for big cleaning.
Goodman seemed a trifie hazy about
the exact location of the scene of the
fight, but ii was gathered that it was
somewhere in South Rock Island. The
promoters, principals and gamblers
went to the place in squads of tours
TO avert suspicion.
A ring was prepared and the rocks
cleared away, so that if either of the
principals fell there would not be any
serious results, and the fight began.
GOOdmnn's Man Showed Up Well.
German. ON whom Goodman's money
was placed, seemed to have the better
Of it in the opening rounds, according
to Goodman. Up to the end of the
third he looked a winner In the
fourth he was knocked down, and
Goodman noticed something red was
running from his mouth. Whether it
was blood or not, in the light of later
developments he was disposed to
doubt German seemed unable to go
on, and was counted out. His seconds
then crowded into the ring, and sud
denly someone shouted that German
was dying. Then there was a stan-
pede. We'll, who Goodman says was
referee and stakeholder, handed the
money over to the other fellows, and
with Kaufman. the other "pugilist,
headed the flight ~.
Goodman told of bringing German
around finally, and detailed the trbu.
lations of the losers and the manner

Bait to Draw Reporter Out.
In connection with today's de-
velopments in the case, one
of the attorneys this morning tele-
phoned to The Argus that if a re-
porter went at once to the sheriff.
Office he might get a good account Of
the fake prize fight affair from Good
man, the complainant in the case now
in court, and from another man claim
ing to have been fleeced of fabulous
sum. The Argus representative went
accordingly to the sheriffs Office, and
there found the sheriff, the attorney,
Mr.. Goodman, and another man.
But the Interview was in vain, so
far as securing any information on
the matter was concerned. The new
man in the case would not talk.
His name could not be learned. He
declined to answer any queries of the
newspaper man. Mr.. Goodman simply
said that the whole story would be
told this afternoon in court.
Then it developed that the enter
view" was turned into an effort to Sc
cure from The Argus representative
the sources of it's information on
which statements relative to the case
have been published from time to
time. When the reporter declined to
reveal his sources of information he
was charged with all sorts of evil
things. The attorney and Mr.. Good
man admitted, however, that no mis-
statement has been published by The
Argus. The peculiar phase of the
whole case is that The Argus, after
laboring vainly for weeks to gain
from legitimate sources of informa-
ton the actual facts in the case. and
every avenue being closed against it,
is now by means of ruse called
upon to divulge the sources of such
information as it has been able to
learn, and at the same time the facts
which The Argus has presented are adj
mitted to be true. The Argus, as a
newspaper, entirely disinterested and
seeking merely to discharge its duty
as a newspaper. has diligently labored
to gain from those who know the en-
tire story of the Goodman affair, and
notwithstanding all these facts the
very people who most realize that the
paper has been for reasons discrim-
mated against, have not hesitated to
malign it and to misrepresent its mo
tives.
This afternoon just before the hear
ing of the Goodman case was taken
up in court the city editor of The Argus
whom it was sought to pump this
morning was subpoenaed as a witness
and later all the witnesses were eX
Guided from court while the hearing
was ON. 1t therefore became neces
sary for The Argus to send another
representative to the court house to

The attitude of the city council of

People generally realize that with

strangled through the influence of the
Bell monopoly it would be but an in
slant until the monster corporation
would have the city of Rock Island

David and Goliath and the public
