big money for advertising and had the
whole country guessing. Hack came

Defendants-More Witnesses
Tell of Being Swinded
on Fixed Races
Associated Pressl

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, March IL
One witness for the defense is to be
heard Friday morning in the case OF
John c. Maybray and his associates,
after which arguments will commence,
both sides having practically finished
their cases at tonight's session of the
federal district court.
Arguments will last until Saturday
noon, each side having been given five
hours. Motions for the dismissal of all
the defendants on the ground that the
government had failed to prove con-
spiracy We're overrued tonight.
The witnesses were placed on the
stand in an attempt to prove an alibi
for Willard Powell, one of the defend
ants, and Powelps counsel announced
that another witness who did not reach
the city until late tonight would be
called. This will end the case of the
defendants, none of the others on trial
having attempted to introduce tes-
timony.
Despite previous announcement, the
government case was not concluded
this morning and all day long new
witnesses were called to the stand to
add to the Voluminous evidence before
the jury. dost of this consisted of
letters and documents offered by the
prosecution to connect the various de-
PENDANTS with some specific allegation
in the indictment.
The monotony of this tedious work
was relieved, however, just before ad-
jouhnment by the calling of John H
Sizer. Virginia lumber merchant, who
testified to having Travelled 5000 miles
to Los Angeles to wager $500 on a
horse race in which Willard Powell,
one of the defendants, was one of the
jockeys. Sizer declared Powell delib-
erately took me down the chutes and
cleaned me for that eighty-five hun
dred."
1T was tragic thing for me- he
added, "and once it looked like
might have to walk back to Virginia"

INJUNCTION AGAINST CLEARY
ASKED BY WRIGHT COMPANY

NEW YORK. March .17.-Edwin
Cleary, who managed Louis Paulhan's
aeroplane flights in this country, and
who has had his troubles, caused by
Paulhan's refusal to make further
flights found more woe today through
proceedings brought against him by
the Wright company.
Cleary yesterday obtained an injunc-
tion to prevent Paulhan taking from
the country the two aeroplanes he has
been using. Today the Wright COM
pany, in a suit filed against Cleary,
asks an injunction to prevent Cleary
from continuing to give exhibitions
with the alleged infringing apparatus,
with or without Paulhan.

wear off the novelty of and kill public
interest in aeroplane exhibitions.

Cleary be compelled to account for the
profits received by him in previous
flights.
