DRAGGED INTO GRAFT TRIAL
The mysterious Red Book" a
ledger of the claiTvoyant trust which
States Atty Hoyne is breaking up
by playing one set of crooks against
another, was brought into Judge
O'Connor's court during the trial
yesterday.
Indexed in a business-like fashion
were accounts of suckers" who had
contributed to the support of Frank
and Jimmy Ryan, clairvoyants; Bar
ney Bertsche, fxer, and accused po-
icemen, according to Bertsche's tes-
timOny.
Here the name, address and
amounts paid and returned were
written. On the page left open for
each victim was a record of the qUes-
lions asked at the "seances."
The beginning of the feud between
big BilI' Egan, detective bureau
man, and Bertsche was told. This
was when Egan, known to Bertsche
as "the devil" arrested the place run
by Frank Ryan.
The men were released, but Egan
refused to give up the RED Book"
which was taken in this raid, until
BeTtsche came across" with $500,
according to testimony of the fxer.
It was partly as a result of this, it
is claimed, that the shooting affair on
Randolph street came last summer,
in which Bertsche was nearly killed.
His expose followed.
The two Ryans, Frank and Jimmy,
''spook experts, who operated under
the protecting wing of Bertsche, will
take the witness stand soon to tell
the meaning of various entries in the
book.
