PROSECUTION -
DEBATED QUESTION
Several attorneys Interested in
the investigation issued statements
In which they expressed views diff
ferinr widely from Hoyne's state
ments that the White sox players
alleged 20 have used crooked base
ball in the 1919 world series could
not be prosecuted.
Alfred Austrian. attorney for
Charles comiskey. owner Of the
white sox. quoted the Illinois con.
apiracy statute which provides:
"ff two or more persons consplre
together with fraudulent and ma.
ilrious intent wrongfuily and wick
edly 20 injure the person. character
or business. or employment or prop
crty OF another--they shall be
deemed guilty Of a conspiracy"
Austrian declared the men could
be prosecuted under this statute.
lie also vigorously denied the I'm.
piication contained In Hoyne's state
ment. as published here, that the
investigation was started by enc
niles OF Comiskcy 10 ruin the White

torncys office and Judge MacDon.

the investigation until after the
close OF the present baseball season.
COMISkEY WILLING
FOR THORO PROBE
II told them that Mr.. Comiskey
would rather lose the pennant than
20 play n single game with "A bunch
OF players he knew to be crooked"
Austrian said. lie also informed
them he could produce evidence
warranting indictments. and the
next day the confession OF Eddie
cicotte was made. 1t was quickly
followed by that OF Joe jackson
