mony was given yesterday by four gov
ernment witnesses in the case of John
G. Maybray and others charged with
conspiracy to defraud by the unlawful
use of the United States mails for pro-
noting fake sporting events.
The alleged operations of Maybray
and his associates, known as the Mil
yer and Council Bluffs, was told in de-
tail. The sporting events carried
through by these men, according to
the witnesses, were 50 well planned
that there was not chance for the
victim to escape, and the losses ran
from $4,000 to $37, 900, according to the
ability and the willingness of the vic
tim to contribute.
Illinois Man Lost $4,000.
Thomas Gay, one of the indicted
men who turned states evidence, was
the first witness called. He testified

Ill, where he was a professional wrest-
Ter. He induced Thomas Tierney of
Streator to go to New Orleans and bet
on wrestling match. Tierney lost
$4,000, Of which Gay received s2,50O.
He told in detail of the system en-
ployed to get victims and of how they
we're handled from the time they were
first interviewed" until they were
sent home penniless. He was also one
of the wrestlers in a match at Council
Bluffs where a lumberman from st.
Paul, Mr.. Shull, lost $500.

letters from Council Bluffs written by
Maybray giving instructions for fixing
matches and horse races.
He, with James Coon, neighbor. in
