Wheelan to see the prisoners and they
were later rel aased without further
trouble.
On the Sunday night preceding the
raid on the Sausalito poolroom Abbott
said he had a conversation with Elan
merry in which Flannery asked him to
call the next day to meet Detectives
Farrell and Bailey, who had been as
signed to the bunk detail, and with
whom he had arranged to furnish Alb
bott and his men protection.
THE next day when l met FlaQ-
merry l told him that there already had
been one complaint against us from
heard that Wood had complained to the
chief of police in San Francisco and
that officer Burke had reported on the
case.
When I met Farrell told him about
it and Flannery said he would have
Farrell fix it. When Farrell heard of
it he said, It's funny 1 didn't get
Burke's report. 1 wonder if they are
holding out on me?"
At the time of this conversation with
Farrell in Flannerys saloon, Abbott
testified. he made arrangements to meet
the detective again at o'clock the
same evening at the Stewart hotel.
"I was to give Farrell the names of
our steerers, and he said that as he was
new at the business might be able to
help him out a good deal by telling him
some things about what to do said
Abbott
RAID INTERVIEWS
The engagement with Farrell was not
kept, however, for that same afternoon
the Sausalito raid came off and Abbott
was captured. In testifying regarding
his conversations with Flannery as to
a money arrangement. Abbott said that
when he first suggested that he give
Flannery p. per cent of all that was
made, the latter said, 81 don't want any
money from you; I'll make enough my
self. Well talk about that later
When the later conversation occurred
some time afterward, Flannery had
changed his mind, according to Abbott
and said
Boys. l want you to make good
money for yourselves and I want you
to make good money for me. There
are two good years ahead. and by the
end of that time you can go to Canada.
I know where I'll go. I've been work
ing IA years for this and now that I've
got 1t I'm going to make good money
out of IT."

ADDS FACTS
TO CONFESSION
Chief Witness WitIlstands the

thrown in profusely. but Abbott always
came back with the answer that he
had turned bunkoman'' or had turned
thief" after Flannery had invited him to
come to San Francisco. He declared
that he had an understanding with
Flannery that his .'steerers" were to be
protected in San Francisco.
ROBBERY NOT ADMITTED
Knight forced the witness to admit
that in the case of Wood, who was
swindled out Of $500 in the Sausalito
poolroom, he had an interest in what
was going on although Abbott would
not use the word robbery" which
Knight preferred.
Abbott was also questioned about i'm
munity. He said he had received no
pledge except District Attorney Boyd's
word that he would do what he could to
secure leniency for him. Knight sought
by his questions to show that conspir-
acy had been formed between Fremont
Older, Isidor Jacobs, the witness, and
others" to railroad Flannery to jail,
and also to show that the witness had
been furnished by one of these persons
with money since being taken out of
the county jail. Knight was not sue
cessful in this, but finally made the d1-
rect charge, in argument on an objec-
ton, that a part of the theory of the
defense was that conspiracy existed
between Older, Harry WILDER and 9TH
ers ito send Flannery to the state
prison regardless of the real merits of
the case"
DO you state that as fact?" quickly
demanded Judge Lennon, leaning over
his desk toward knight. IF so. want
to understand you. 1 will call the
grand jury together at once to investi-
gate. If you state that such con-
spiracy existed we will go to the bottom
of it right now"
THEORY OF DEFENSE
For a moment the trial came to
halt. The court waited for a direct
answer, and demanded it when Knight
attempted to turn from the direct
query. The latter finally explained that
this theory had been adopted as a part
of the defense but did not go to the
extent Of saying that he would be will
ing to attempt to substitute such
charge.
knight, referring to the witness as
IAN informer" took up the transcript
of testimony given by Abbott before
the grand jury and read extensive eX-
tracts but did not succeed in tripping
Abbott UP on any of his original state
ments. He turned again to the ques
tion of how Abbott had come to testify.
and again demanded to know if ii had
not been because of some understanding
or arrangement with some one con-
nected with the defense. AS he finally
pressed the matter, repeating the ques-
tion, What induced you to testify?"

It is proposed to mount three guns instead of two in battleship turrets. In this way there will be economy of displace- ment.
