Lester Freed's Version.

On the other hand Mr.. Freed said last
night that Mr.. Mcdonald had exceeded
his authority when he announced with
out calling a meeting of the board that
the races were to close. He said he had
called up Mr.. Mcdonald and had made
an appointment with him at his Office
the following day. When he went there
he saw Mr. AIcDonalds automobile IN
front of his place of business, but was
told that Mr. Mcdonald was out of the
city. Later he said that he had learned
that Mr.. Mcdonald was not out of tho
city.
Mr.. Freed said that he and NJ X Par
sons had urged that Mr.. Mcdonald sub

a meeting of the board be called and
this was finally done

1t is said that he told Chung Sing with

With more to gain than TO lose by the
truth, Chung Sing then talked freely, If
not frankly. That he has not been actu-
ally implicated in the crime itself, how
ever, is indicated by the fact that to-
night he was held in the house of de-

and wanted help. Chun Sing soon under

across the bed. There was blood on the
mouth and a stained handkerchief was
stuffed between the lips. Leon explained
that the girl bit her tongue and bIed to

to him, Chung Sing said that he felt ter

Before he left, however, Leon borrowed
