Joseph Farondo was the next wit

lieved to be the leader of the gang.
He said that he had never seen Spag-
no before, but admitted that he was

known in New York. He could not
show that he was working or that he
had any means of support and the
state was inclined to believe that he

Joseph Hatargo testified that he has
lived in the city for six or seven
months and sleeps with Dominic
Bruzakic at Mary's boarding house,
where he has been boarding for about
two weeks. He said that he has an

that he has done no work since he

LEONARD-DUNDEE?
Promoters Turn Thoughts Toward
Possibility of Match,

New York, July 27.-The financial
success of the Leonardo ilbane bout
in Philadelphia Wednesday night will
probably lead to another big open air
battle in the sleepy city within a few
weeks. A match between Leonard
and Johnny Dundee, who is the only
lightweight to show that he has a
ghost of chance with the champion.
i~ the one the promoters are anxious
to stage.
When Scotty Montieth, the manager
of Dundee, got flash at the size of
the crowd at Shibe park he lost no
time in securing an option on the
park for date later on in the sum-
mer, which probably will be Labor
day. A Brooklyn promoter has Of
fered Leonard $4,000 for his end of
aJoout> with Dundee at Ebbets Field,
Brooklyn, and Montieth now comes
forth with an offer to duplicate this
for bout in Philadelphia, where the
limit is only six rounds instead of
ten.
AS a Dundee-Leonard bout now is
the only logical one in sight, the bid
ding probably will go even higher be-
fore the match is clinched.

Sergeant Theodore Johnson and
Policemen Dolan, strolls and Meehan
made the arrests. The sergeant testi-
fed that he and Policeman Dolan went
to the rear of the house and taking
screen out of the window watched the
couples. The women ran out OF the
room, but the men stayed in bed.
Mrs. Boyet told the police that the
men came from Springfield and had
paid her 81 for a room, but the men
are known to live on Chestnut street.
Policeman Dolan said that he had
received complaints about the place
and saw the two men take a bag Of
beer bottles into the house at mid
night. He notified the sergeant and
they watched the house and made the
catch.
Lawyer H. P. Roche appeared for
the Hughes boys. James ]. said that
he came back from Hartford at II
o'clock last night and, although he
lives at lat Chestnut, street, went to
sleep with his brother on Park street.
He denied that there had been any
misconduct on his part. Albert H.
Hughes said that he had been up to
spiritualists' meeting in Hartford and,
after escorting the women home, re-
tired at Mrs Boyet's house, where
he has a room, because the nature of
his employment forbids him to fire.
