Bell Admits He Appeared Be-
fore the Legislature Many
Times as an At
torney.
SAYS He NEVER WAS
IN GAMBLING HOUSE
Did Not Permit Any to Run if
He Knew of Their ExiS-
tenCe-MakeS Sweep
inc DenialS.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. oct. s.
Special Pros. Joseph Roach began
the cross-examination Of Mayor Bell,
on trial in the criminal court in the
election conspiracy charges. by ques-
tioning the defendant regarding his
career as a lobbyist"
Mr.. Bell admitted he had appeared
before the legislature many times as
an attorney. He said he had been at
tOrney for the State Brewers associa-
ton four years and was attorney for
the Crawford Fairbanks interests. He
denied that he left the brewers asso-
cations employ because the asso-
ber of saloons and Fairbanks wanted
to increase them
Bell insisted that the primary cleo
ton which nominated him for mayor
was fair and square as far as he
knew.
Replying to Roach's questions. the
mayor admitted he had played poker
at the Denison hotel with gentlemen
friends, but denied he ever visited a
gambling house. Roach asked him
if he knew there was a gambling
house on Indiana av. and the mayor
replied that he did not permit any
gambling houses to run if he knew
il was in existence.
Occupying the stand as the first
witness for the defense, Bell made
sweeping denials of many material
points contained in the evidence of
witnesses who appeared for the state
during the five weeks consumed by
that side.
Explains Activities.
Regarding other testimony. the de-
fendant made explanations of circum-
stances surrounding his activities
during the 1914 campaign.
Concerning the $500 which was
handed TO the mayor by Lucius O.
Hamilton, president of the Employ
ers association, the witness said ii
was placed in the general campaign
fund, in accordance with an agree
ment with the members of the En-
ployers' association. The original
package was turned over to the cam
paign treasurer without being opened,
Bell said.
Bell also said that he and Taggart
81, 600 between the amount of funds
received by Treas. Joseph and the
total of checks issued for the pay
ment Of party workers.
other contributions to the demo-
cratic fund were received by the
mayor, only because Treas. Joseph
could not be readily located
The reason that Mayor Bell and
Thomas Taggart indemnified the
bonds of many defendants indicted
on the conspiracy charge, the witness
explained. was because most of them
were poor men, and il had been re-
ported that Judge Collins of the
criminal court intended to place the
bonds of the men so high that when
the wives and mo luers came TO him
they would have I "come through"
with something against the mayor be-
fore releases would be granted.
Mayor Bell emphatically denied
that he was active in any conspiracy,
or that he knew of such conspiracy
Neither had he any knowledge be-
forehand that any election laws were
violated by individuals He knew
nothing OF repeating. intimidation of
voters, stutfing OF ballot boxes, false
arrests. buying Of votes or any other
Of the matters which witnesses for
the state testified.
