Colonel Temple, the prosecuting attOr-
ney, introduced documentary evidence in
the shape of letters exchanged between
fIle defendants and their alleged victims,
out in each instance he followed up this
evidence by securing a recital from wit
nesses OF all the events leading up TO
the large sums of money on 'tixed"
sporting events.
The defense made strenuouE efforts to
keep out or the record a number or let
tiers taken from Maybrays effects when
he was arrested in Little Rock, and par
tally succeeded. Presiding Judge Nc
Pherson decided to wait until tomorrow
before making final ruling but indicated
that he would admit the letters.
1t is stated that there are more than
1000 of these letters giving a complete
record OF transactions of the Million
aires club including the names and res
licences Of victims and the amounts they
lost.
Contributed $4,000.
]. II. Secrist. a retired farmer living at
Iowa City, Ia, furnished an interesting
account of the alleged operations Of the
defendants. He first contributed 5000 to
the 'MilliOnaires' treasury, and, SEEM
sng satisfied with their explanation OF
the game, returned from New Orleans
TO his home and secured 81, 900 more, both
sums going into the pools of fixed horse
races.

"A man giving the name of ]. c. Cra-

cursed the possibilities of making some
money out Of Canada and Texas land.
A few days later, after l had returned
home. he called me up from Davenport.

Resting his AK across the brawny fore

ciared he would accompany me-
When we reached New Orleans he
showed me the city and entertained ms
in style for a few days. Then 1 was
introduced to a man named Martin. whose
real name later learned was r. r. Har-
riman. The two continued to urge that
take a little of the sure thing but 1
still refused and finally agreed to loan
Cramer 5000 to go into il. The race was
pulled off and Hartman lost the money
because our jockey had fit and fell from
his morse.
THE 'NIiIlionaires' said Il was not fair
to take our money and stated that if We
would put up $500 forfeit they would
give us another chance In week. l
wanted my 5000 back and went home and
raised 5000 and Martin made up the bal
ance and we put up that amount. An
other raco was arranged and l kept the
betting sheet. Nearly 5000 was bet on
that race and my 5000 got into the pool
in some way.
Jockey Looked Dead.
"Our jockey had another accident and
when We picked him up he looked like he
was dead, and | though he was. Martin
told me we would all be arrested and
advised me to return home, which / did"
Secrest pointed out Maybray as one Of
the "MilliOnaires. He also produced sew
eral letters which he testified were re-
ceived from Maybray's associates.
Secrest's testimony was only one Of
several similar stories told during the
day. Samuel SutOr. of Cass Lake. Mimi.
explained mis- loss of $500. and Alexander
Delane, OF Green Bay, Wis. told of losing
$500. Zachariah PierpOnt. of Pawnee,
Okla, lost 5000 on a fixed wrestling
match
Secrist's testimony closed the afternoon
session. CrOss-examined by Attorney
Tinsley for the defense developed little.
In fact. Mr.. Tinsley's crOss-examnatiOn
of all witnesses has been along the same
line, being confined almost entirely to an
attempt to show that letters which passed
through the mails did not have the direct
result of losing money for the victims.

PARK CITY BOXING
CARD ON TONIGHT
Crowley and Rogers Both in
Fine Condition Local
Fans Make Trip.
Especial to The Herald-Republican.,


Park City, March 11.-With the Tim
Crowley Jack Rogers twentyround
fight one day Oft, the entire camp is
on edge, and the first go of any inn
portance to be seen in the camp I'm
some time is due to draw a record
house. Both Crowley and Rogers are
on edge. and each announced today that
he would have no complaints TO make
on condition.
The fans who have visited the train
ing quarters of the men daily have
found out that Rogers is the more
clever of the two. Despite that TACT
they say that CrOwley's "haymaker,"
his ability to take punishment and his
fine condition will win for him. Crow
ley is the favorite in the betting, odds
of 10 to Z having been offered on his
chances. There is a bundle of Rogers
money in sight, and when the Salt Lake
hackers of the Smithfield man come to
town tomorrow morning, more is ex-
pected. It has been said that the Salt
Lake fans are coming up to get some
easy money" They will get the chance
at least.
James Byrne. the local referee. will
Officiate as the third man in the ring.
As a preliminary "Bricky" Anderson, of
this city and Kid Callahan, of Denver,
will do four rounds.
Pete Sullivan, the Salt Lake light
weight, arrived in camp this morning
and at once got busy to arrange a
meeting with Kid Rose, the local boy.
1t looks like the two will sign articles
tomorrow.
The big go tonight will be held at
the OrDheum theatre, and the advance
sale promises a record house. The
Irishmen are going to turn out and
back their man to the limit Crowley
will weigh 1SO and Rogers 100 pounds.
The Park Citv train leaving at s.sO
a. m. is due to carry half hundred
Salt Lake fans to see the match. Here
Rogers is picked to win from the big
Irishman.

DETAILS OF EMERYVILLE'S
SUCCESS STILL COMING UP

A rather strange silence comes from
''Talkative Tex" and Frisco Jack" pro-
motors of the Jeffries-Johns affair.
one small story came from San Fran
cisco TO the effect that Richard had fixed
on the EmeryVille race track as the scene
of the battle. The story did not say that
Gleason had given his approval AS a re-
suit. the local fans are momentarily ex-
pecting the word that Gleason objects to
Emeryville and that a later date will be
set for the final announcement"
The Saltair company was informed b.
telegraph several days ago that a let
ter explaining the acceptance of the
EmeryVille offer was on the way, but
the letter has not put in its appearance.
Joseph Nelson of the Saltair company
said last night in response TO the question
about enjoining the battle, that he did not
believe the company would take any steps

forgotten. the matter" said Mr.. Mel

More than 100000 people live in San
Francisco. Oakland and adjoining points,
within two hours ride of the proposed
arena, and three-fourths of this number
are located within half an hours ride.
San Francisco and Oakland hotels will
furnish accommodations for any number
of visiting sports and transportation IA
cilities which can easily handle a greater
crowd than can be accommodated in the
arena can be arranged without difficulty.
Both the Southern Pacific and Key
route ferry and train service will land
passengers from San Francisco at the
gates of the arena i'm half an hour. and
ferries on these routes can be run every
five minutes if necessary. In addition to
this, regular ferry service to Oakland
and Alameda will land passengers where
thew NAV take cars to the track with a
loss of only a few minutes.

MCFARLAND MAY YET
GET WELSH IN RING

Chicago, March 11-Packey Mcfarland
and Freddie Welsh may get together after
all over in England and settle their long
standing dispute for lightweight honOrs
In a letter received by Johnny Mcfarland
cousin Of the st0ckyards lightweight now
abroad, PaclSey says that the Mountain
A. c. of Scotland has offered a purse of
$4,000 for a battle between Mcfarland
ana Welsh, and the National Sporting
club Of London offered a $1,000 purse
Burning criticism of Welsh by the Brit
ish press because of his methods in ths
Mcfarland transactions evidently have
had effect. Welsh realizes that he must
fight Mcfarland or lose much of his popu-
laritv in his home country
Packey had practically given up hopes
of ever getting Welsh's signature to a
set of articles and had planned TO sail
for home on the 18Th of this month
Welsh's sudden change OF heart will cause
Packey to remain in England until nego-
tiatiOns are concluded

son. There will be no suit at present,
and I do not think there will be any
although around July or July We may
be heard from"
A glance at the newspaper exchanges
shows that the placing of the fight at
Emeryville has received but little space.
As an advertising proposition, Salt Lake
was given more benefit than Emeryville
can expect, and EIneryville is too close
TO San Francisco to cage any but a frac-
ton of the money the battle will bring.
Emeryville. however. will be a good site
for the mill. That the race track would
make an ideal spot is the general opinion
of sport followers. The railway accom-
modatiOns are excellent and the enclos-
ure could be built up into mammoth
arena within a short time. On many Oc-
caSiOns the race track has held as high
as 10000, and if pressure were urged or
necessary, the Emeryville track would
have accommodated almost twice that
many persons.
