Joe Gedeon to Testify.
President Johnson was the first wit
ness called when the jury reconvened.
He said he had received word that Joe
Gedeon, second baseman for .he st.
Louis American League team, was on
his way from Sacramento to testify be-
fore the grand jury
This is the first time Gedeon's name
has been mentioned in the proceedings.
On learning that the grand jury con-
templated ndicting Gedeon, johnson
requested it mot to take a. ion until
the PLAYER arrived and has mad oppCr-
tunity to testify.
1t is supposed Gedeon has knowle dge
Of the gamblers ring in St. Louis, and
he is said to have won money on the
series last year.
Before going into the jury room
johnson said it was his intention to
tell the jurors Of his recent trip TO
ST. Louis, where he went to induce
three men to come to Chicago and
testify. One of them, Joseph Pesch,
had departed for California, Johnson
learned. Harvey Redmond and Thomas
Kearney, the two other mon, have
promised to come to Chicago soon.
Long expressed a willingness to tell
the grand jury the operations of Sulli-
van in the bribing OF Chicago players
and conspiracy to turn the 1919 series
to the Reds.
Sullivan, Long said, was in Chicago
with bankrol a few days bcfore the
opening of the world series and de-
parted hurriedly for Boston imme-
diately after the third game. He then
had a much larger roll, it was said.
Tells of Sullivan's Winnings
Long himself handled $4,000 Of
Sullivan's money. all of which was COW
cred around the Board of Trade and all
of which was wagered on the first two
games. Sullivan is said to have
wagcred large sums at other places
and to have returned to Boston with
100000 of Chicago fans money
81 hadn't known Sullivan five min
utes when he gave me $4,000 in cash
to bet for him." Long said. II went
to mon on the Board and had it COW
cred in 4 short time, for there were
plenty of fellows who were ready to
wager on the White Sox. When l re-
ported that it was all faded and that
| could get couple of thousand more
covered, Sullivan told me to go ahead
and take all bets, and that they Would
be covered.
"All the time I was going along with
Sullivan l was telling him l thought
the Sox would beat Cincinnati and
that [ was going to make my little bet
that way. Finally he told me not be
a chump, but to get down on the Reds,
but | didn't take his advice"
Long said he received $10O for his
work of placing the bets.
The ten men against whom true bills
have been voted a second time are as
follows; George Weaver, Oscar Felsh,
Eddie Cicotte, Claude Williams,
Arnold Gandil, Fred McMullen, Charles
Risberg, Joseph Jackson. all of the
White Sox team; Sullivan and Brown,
New York gamblers.
In connection with the local base
ball pools, one witness, Roy Clossman,
an employee of the Chicago surface
lines, said he won a $4,000 ticket in
the Universal baseball pool, but the
company refused to pay him. Mr.. Pep
tlogle said he had information that
the company did not expect the ticket
to be sold.
