The evidence which it is asserted
has been collected against Fitzgerald
is of varied nature. The private op-

the case and Assistant States Attorney
Barbour contend that it is strong
enough to make out a prima facie case
against the accused.
Friends of Fitzgerald, on the other
hand, have rallied to his defense and
explain away categorically and to their
own satisfaction every point made
against him, detailing every fact in

The detectives, who have been trail

vesting $50, 900 in one deal.

Now that the Wilmington club is go
ing so good and all the men are play
ing gilt edge ball, il is a question as
10 who will have to walk the plank
when a further wedding out" becomes
necessary. The team has two catchers,
six pitchers. two first basemen. two
second basemen. two third basemen,
three short stops and three outfelders.
The short stop position is particularly
well supplied. the three men, Lynch,
Marhefka and Catiz, all being fast
men. Beyond playing short, Lynch
can cover second >and third base. al

the candy kid at third. and it is
scarcely possible that he viii be re-

be a hard proposition to know just

there will be no releases outright as
