PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June IS
Director of Public Safety Porter has
begun an investigation of the release
under bail Of Charles Emery Titman,
one of the men arrested at Shibe Park
on the charge OF gambling on baseball
games. Titman, who inherited half a
million dollars upon the death of his
father, contractor connected with the
Pennsylvania Reduction Company, is as
much stirred up by his arrest as Direc-
tor Porter is by his release
. Titman denies that he was betting on
the games and his attorney may bring
suit against the city. Titman was the
only one Of thirty-nine men arrested in
the ball park raid to be released on bail
without the formality Of appearing, IL is
said. OF the others arrested eighteen
were held in $500 bail each for court by
Magistrate Efsenbrown in City Hall and
twenty were discharged.
