Or the eight games scheduled for the
hrst round, two were adjourned after
full session of play, while one, be-
tween A. Kupchik and s. Greenberg,
was forfeited TO the former, the new

tested to finish, all resulted in favor
of the players handling the white

both MEN GUILTY
in PASSPORT CASE
Jury, Out Almost 6 Hours,
Recommends Mercy for
Madden and Cook.
REVELATIONS" NIL;
NO DIPLOMAT NAMED
Prosecutor Defends Stegler,
Who Turned States Evidence,
and Assails Prisoners.

Richard Madden and Gustave Cook,
accused OF consDiracy in recent pass
port frauds. were found guilty yester-
day in the United States District Court.
The jury went out at Hoon and came
in just before o'clock with their yer-
dict. which was accompanied by a
recommendation for mercy.
In spite Of the charges and admis-
sions Of Richard p. Stegler, no names
of high officials in diplomatic circles
were mentioned in the trial. Stegler
was in the conspiracy with the men
convicted yesterday, but testified
against them. He will be tried later.
Madden and Cook will be arraigned for
sentence this afternoon.
Roger B. Wood, Assistant United
States Attorney, made excuses for the
prosecutions principal witness when
he summed up.
"You are not going TO consider Steg-
Ter either a coward or traitor because
the defence says So" he declared. 1t
is not an issue whether Stegler IS
traitor or not. Bad as Stegler may be,
he was actuated by patriotic motives.
II Stegler is a traitor and moral COW
ard, what can be said of Madden and
Cook, who sold their birthright for
few paltry dollars?
"The government has been assailed.
It's rights, which protect its citizens
travelling abroad in time of war, have
been obtained by fraud. Think Of the
danger to men travelling abroad at this
time of war to have suspicion cast
upon Americans who may have legiti-
mate passports!"
Judge Cushman charged the jury
that either prisoner might be found
guilty alone IL either had conspIred
with Stegler or some one else. Stegler
used Nadden's name in applying for
passport. The jury had been out only
few minutes when copies OF forged
applications and the indictments we're
called for. The testimony of Hobo
ken waiter who thought he had seen
the trio together was also requested.
Some surprise was manifested when
the verdict was announced. IL was
evident that a large number present
had expected an acquittal. Mrs. Mad
den sobbed aloud when her husband
was led into the pen and his sister
tainted in the corridor.
The usual motions were made for
the defence after the verdict and an
other that was termed extraordinary
by Judge Cushman. Charles A. Ober-
wager, of counsel for the prisoners,
explained that it was a usual motion
in state courts. lie asked that the
verdict be set aside because OF insult
ficient evidence. The court thought
the jury had settled that point
George f. Cutley, who also appeared
for the prisoners. said he wished to
submit new evidence before sentence
was imposed. He agreed to present it
this afternoon.
