how Gandil.. McMullen and Risbers
were believed by the others TO be
agents of the gamblers. and how he

money would not be paid, and refused
to pitch a ball until he had received
his money. He explained too, that II
wasn't hard for a pitcher to Iet the
ball be batted out or the lot at a
crucial moment.
JACKSON TAKEN TO JURY.
The sensation cerated/ by the con-
fession OF Cicotte had hardly abated
when Attorney Austrian appeared
with Joe Jackson In tow. There WAS
another conference IN the chambers
OF Judge Mcdonald; another meeting q
with Assistant State Attorney Re.
ploEle: another shamefaced ball play
er running the gauntlet OF newspaper
camera men to the grand jury room.
Jackson shed no tears He merely
hung his head and covered his face
with his hands. RepIogle nursed him
along and humored him-tried 10

Jackson cursed newspaper men. gam

His story. II was learned. was con-
firmation OF Cicottes. 1t was the tale
Of a slow feeling out" OF avaricious
players by Gandil, McMullin and Ris-
berg. and, in his own case. the story
OF the "Doublecross."
Jackson's price was $40, ,000-for
booting few and falling to hit when
the hits would count. He found &5,-
900 on his bed before the series
started. More credufous than Cicotte,
he took the "Ro-between's" word that
the S15 900 he had been promised
would "be made up after they had
cashed in" After they had "cashed
in" he was told Start to squcal and
see where you get Off" The gamblers
had no further use for the men they
had bought, but not paid for.
"CLIQUE ON THE INsIDE.r
/ He confirmed Cicotte's story that
the players who sold out" had been
dealt with individually, and that Gan
dill. Risberg and McMullin formed the
only clique ION the inside" with the
gamblers. He said the players had
known. or suspected at least, the ones
who had strayed into the gamblers
net, but that II had not been discussed
during the series.
In Jackson's testimony II came out
that the talk started" when some OF
the players-without the business
ability OF those who collected in ad
vance-began comparing notes on
their membership in the Order of the
Double Cross. At first, he said. they
suspected that Gandil. McMullin or
Risberg had conferred the decoration
but later decided it had CO ne direct
from the gamblers Themselves.
Jackson was before the grand jury
nearly two hours-apd he came out
walking erect and smiling.
Il got big load of my chest" he
! told friend who accosted him. ''and
I'm feeling better
Again he ran the gantlet Of camera
men. and Replogle again tried to
drive the photographers away.
CONSENTS TO POSE.
"Aw, let 'cm shoot" interposed
Jackson, looking over his shoulder
and grinniug for the first time since
he had appeared with Attorney Aus,
trian. what the h does 1t matter
now?" And then he consented to
pose.
Don't ask Joe any questions" Re-
plogle cautioned the newspaper men
Hes gone through beautifully and
we don't want him bothered"
Joe intimated he was willing to
tell the world now--if they'll lei
me-" And SO the cameramen made
his picture and the movie man put
him through his PAGES and crowd
outside the Criminal Court Building
cheered and jeered him and he rode
off in the custody Of two bailiffs-
