Attorney sent to Prison on Prejury
Charge Now Accuses Federal Judge
Lands and Government Lawyers.
Chicago. III, Sept. 12.-Charges OF
criminal conspiracy have been filed in
the United States district court against
federal judge K. NJ. Lands, district at
torneys Elwood G. Goldman and Harry
Parkins and Mr.. and Mrs. L C. silver.
The charges were made by attorney
LYMAN Epstein and were based on the
affidavit Of Max Gerber, a convict at
Fort Leavenworth, made while ep-
stein was serving a Is months sentence
for perjurg committed before Judge
Lands.
Epstein charged that he had been
sent to prison on the strength of a
conspiracy framed by judge Lands. the
government attorneys and Mr.. and Mrs.
Silver.
Epstein represented the Silvers in a
bankruptcy proceeding. Silver con-
Iessed to perjury and gave testimony
which resulted in Epstein's sentence to
the federal penitentiary.
Gerber who was a cell mate Of Sill
yer, stated in his AFFIDAVIT that Silver
mad told him that his testimony which
sent Epstein to prison was false.
Epstein revealed the fact that as a
convict clerk in the mail department
OF the prison, he had read all of Silyer's
letters to and from his wife. He
aroused Judge lands wrath when he
read from a notebook, quotations from
letter from Mrs. Silver.

was the hero of 1t, because he hit two
home runs at opportune moments,
both winning decisive games. Play
ing opposite Baker at third base. the
Giants have boy. the youngest reg
ular on the club, who is spending his
first season in a big league lineup.
But because of this do not think any
nervousness will creep into his work
In Arthur Shafer's lexicon of baseball
there Is no such word as nervous
ness"
Baker Is great ball player. prob
ably better batter than third base
man. for in covering the bag he is a
little awkward. Even the Athletics
themselves admit this.
Well, I'll concede he is not the
most graceful player in the world, ,,
said a member of Connie" Mack's
team to me not so long ago, in speak
ing OF Baker But you'll admit he
fills fhe BILL added this player.
Baker certainly fills the bill He is
game player, one of the gamest I
ever knew. Any man who can come
up to the bat in the ninth inning with
one out and the score against him
and plunk home run into the grand
stand is bound to be game. Nerve
and determination are the biggest as
sets in any player, but let us get
down and look at Bakers mechanical
work first
AS a fielder and base runner. Baker
does not class with Shafer. The lat
ter is much faster on the bases and
covers more ground in the field. But
Baker is the better and more timely
batter and steadier. The first time
ever saw Baker play was on an
off afternoon for the Giants when I
went to the old American League park
IN New York early in the spring of
1909 to see the Athletics and Yankees
in action. Baker looked to me like
one OF the most awkward infielders
that ever broke into the big league
that day. He did not handle a single
chance cleanly, and he seemed to
fight every ball that was hit at him,
bad fault in an infelder. I hap
pened to be sitting near the press
