afternoon was expected to show his

Willie Ritchie, of San Francisco, who
subbed for the stricken champion.
The first preliminary was between
Walter Payne, of Chicago, and Joe

start Payne rushed his adversary but
Allison came back and before the
round closed, Payne went down and
out from a right swing on the point
OF the jaw. He was carried to his
corner still out.

murder trial, to appear before Judge
Bordwells court tomorrow, lawyers
interested in the big trial remained

But while there was an evident at

charges that the alleged bribery is
an "ugly plant" and he further

ground that Blethen might not have

rise was explained The offer was as
follows; "We hereby offer to ex-
