CHICAGO, Sept. 3O.-'We have the
names OF six members of the gamb-
ling syndicate who bribed the indicted
White Sox players" said Henry Brig
ham. foreman OF the Grand Jury to-
night. Eat least three more OF the
gamblers will be indicted before many
days. and there is strong prob
ability that we will be able to obtain
additional evidence upon which to vote
indictments against the rest Of the
gamblers involved in the worlds series
scandal"
The Grand Jury which voted true
bills against eight members of the
White Sox and two gamblers blocked
States Attorney Hoyne's efforts to
hold up the return of the indict-
ments by continuing its existence as
a special body.
After conference between Chief
Justice Mcdonald of the Criminal
Court and Assistant States Attorneys
Edwin Raber. Marvin Barnhart and
ota Lightfoot Mr., Barnhart an
nounced that the jury would be sworn
in as a special inquisitorial body on
Saturday.
It's sole duty, he said, would be to
continue the inquiry to the finish.
The jury will hold sessions each after
noon.
War between the two arms Of the
law seemed inevitable when the Chief
Justice gave out the following state
ment:
This probe into baseball corruption
will go on without interruption. and
I say this in face of the fact that I
have read stories quoting Mr.. Hoyne
as having ordered the indictments
held up until his return to Chicago"
When asked II confessions from any
other players would be accepted the
Judge said
"Other players may come and con-
fess II they choose. but they will have
to waive immunity. Those who have
testified expressly waived immunity be-
fore going into the Grand Jury. or
course IL the players help the state I'm
roofing out this evil IN baseball, that
Will be taken into consideration In Inn
posing sentence II they are convicted.
This Grand Jury Will be made a spe-
cial Grand Jury Saturday morning and
It will continue its sessions unit, the
entire situation is cleaned UP. Mr.. Hoyne
may have some valuable information
when he returns.
The Grand Jury is a body IN itself
and has It's statutory powers and no one
can interfere with them. Both the gam
blcrs and the players who participated
In this alleged conspiracy look alike IN
the eyes OF tho law. one IL bribe gfver,
the other accepts bribes.
There is no question about the legal
ity of the Indictments These men are
alleged TO have conspired 70 ruin the
business OF Charles A. Comiskey, and
TO inJure tho business Of the other honest
players who would have received so per
cent OF the post-season receipts and only
got 40.
"1n our investigation we are going
back as far as the statute OF limitations
extends which 1 understand Is eighteen
months"
The Judge hinted that The inquiry
would hit not only players and crooked
gamblers OF Chicago and New York. but
hxers OF other cities In which major
league baseball Is played.
His firm stand for a complete expose
of rottenness In baseball put an end 20 a
wrangle that began at the Criminal
Courts Building with the arrival OF
telephone message from New York from
Mr.. Hoyne ordering that the investg-
