ROTHSTEIN WILL
 TESTIFY IN PROBE
fcontlnued From Page onel


 have been brought before the jury by several witnesses, state officials said, but it was not until last week that Ge deon's identity was publicly revealed. He had, until then, been referred to in announcements made by the states attorneys office merely as "a St. Louis player"
 The fury has been told that Gedeon attended all the 1919 world series games and was intimately associated with some of the Chicago White Sox players against whom true bills have been voted, according to state officials. After last Tuesdays session of the jury, President Johnson admitted to newspaper men that Gedeon's name had been brought before the jury and later he went to St. Louis for what was then believed to be a conference with Phil Ball, owner of the St. Louis Browns, over baseball reorganization. On his return, however, Johnson said he went to see c d con, and, finding the player was in Sacramento. telephoned him that he must come here immedi- ately to testify.
 Rothstein has been mentioned in va rious connections by men who already have testified. Evidence was said to have been given the jury that he was approached by Hal Chase, Abe Attell and others for money with which to if nance the game selling. He is said to have been asked for $10O,00 to bribe Chicago players, but some witnesses have told the jury Rothstein refused to take part in the deal and that the bribers then went to others. Tele- grams received by Abe Attell during the series and saying that certain sums of money were being sent by Rothstein and that his initials were used to de- ceive White Sox players who had no' received the sums they had been prom | ised.
 Rothstein left New York shortly after the true bills were voted against the Chicago players. His whereabouts was kept a secret, but state official: here said they had arranged through his attorney for Rothstein to testify | tomorrow.
 Officials said more true bills probab- ly would be voted-provided Gedeor and Rothstein gave the information they are believed to possess-and tha not more than one additional sessioI would be necessary to complete the in vestigation.
