with Jury To-day.
ARGUMENTS HAVE BEGUN
Wade Under CrOss-examinationY Yes
terday-Attempt to Prove Company
with which Defendant Dealt Con-
Quoted n Legal business In Stocks.
Prepared to Make Deliveries.

Whether dealing in margins constitutes
a bucket shop" and whether conduct
ing a bucket shop is setting up and main
tanning a gaming table" and therefore a
violation Of the District code, viii be
presented to the jury to-day for decision
in Criminal Court No. 3 in the trial of
Percy Wade. of Wade & Hedges on trial
on an indictment which charges him with
violating the code in conducting an al
legged bucket shop"
The testimony in the case was finished
yesterday and arguments begun.
Wade Under Fire.
Wade, who was on the stand when
court adjourned Friday, resumed the
stand yesterday morning. and was cross
examined at length by District Attorney
Baker. and admitted he had bought and
sold wheat, corn, and oats. and that there
was never a receipt or a delivery OF the
commodities.
Wade stated. however. that II was al
ways understood that stock or any other
thing dealt in would be delivered If de-
manded. but he had never been called
upon TO make a delivery.
George F. Winfield, of New York. was
the next witness called by the defense.
Winfield testified he resided in New York,
is a stock broker. and dealt with the
Stock. Grain. and Provision Company.
with which Wade & Hedges also dealt.
Court Rules out Testimony.
Attorneys Davis and Laskey attempted
TO show by this witness his dealings
with the company. but upon objection
of Assistant District Attorney Stuart
Mcnamara. Justice Barnard ruled it out
as immaterial, and Winfield was ex-
cused.
c. Wesley Holland. president of the
Stock. Grain. and Provision Company.
which the government contends is a
bucket shop concern, was the next wit
ness. Holland, last week. was severely
rebuked by Justice Barnard for calling
a government witness a blackmailer.
He described the method of conducting
the company's business and how he dealt
with his correspondents. He said he was
a dealer In stocks and declared he had
the stocks in his safe and could deliver
them n delivery was demanded.
He said he carried $4,000 worth OF Sc
curiues and had $30O000 in bank 10 back
up his deals. Holland said he had a
contract with Wade 10 make delivery
when requested
Following Hollands testimony. both
sides presented prayers 10 the court for
instructions 10 the jury. Arguments will
close and the case be given TO the jury
by this afternoon.
