some other man.
That he is mere stalking horse
selected temporarily, for the pur-
pose Of restoring confidence until
such time as the fighters can get
together on another man, is belief
that is justified by the circum-
stances. When Richards name was

For weeks the attorneys for the
prosecution have been trying to
bring out this vital fact, but owing
to the evasion of all the witnesses
they failed. When the Scripps
newspapers came along with their
tremendous expose, Saturday, OFF,

was first stunned, then amazed.
Washington got the first news from
the United Press association. The
Kerby expose was published in
some five hundred papers Satur-
day. clients of the United Press.
Some Of these papers gave the
Scripps newspapers credit for the
great scoop, but many OF them
simply printed Kerby's statement
as having been made public, with
out reference to the Scripps papers.
Washington correspondents being
fairer than their editors unanimous

admit that they were all scooped

developed in Washington within
