SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-THE
jury in Judge Maurice T. Dooling's
court heard the other side of Jack
Dempseys story this afternoon after
the government had closed it's case
with Maxine Dempsey as the last wit
ness Dempsey's side of the story was

since he was fourteen years old-and
since he was eighteen--back in 1915
or hereabouts-he has been practi-
cally her entire support and the sup
port of the other members Of the fam
lily.
"How could you have managed in the
years 1917 and 1913 if Jack had not
sent you money!" asked Attorney John
Preston.
~, couldn't" answered Mrs. Dempsey
simply. eve would not have had any
thing"

absent-mindedness and melancholia.
Mrs. Dempsey, the mother, has been
III for many months. Mrs. Eihe Clark
son, the sister, has also been i'll and
mas undergone operations. Johnny. the
younger brother underwent three oper-
atlons and both he and Joseph. another
brother, were in such poor health that
they were given limited service by the
draft boards. In 9l7 sixteen -ycar-o Id
Bruce, the baby Of the family, was
murdered.
And, according to the story Mrs.
Cella Dempsey told simply and
stralght-forwardly on the witness
stand to-day, Jack has been the only
help Other brothers are married and
have families of their own. On Jacks
broad shoulders fell the burden of
caring for his people.
Maxine Dempsey had painted an
ugly picture of Jack in her testimony.
1t was a different Jack Dempsey who
appeared through his little mothers
words; boy who used to bring home
what he earned and say: Here,
mother, do what you like with it, but
be sure you buy yourself some
clothes;" young fighter who, after
one of his battles in Milwaukee, sent
HIS mOInef 9l0U IN DlllS, bOylShly
wrapped in newspaper clipping that
told Of his victory; son who deprived
himself to give his winnings to his
mother.
1t was oddly incongruous to hear the
quiet little woman, who looks as if
she should be sitting in sunny win
dow with her knitting, talk glby about
prize fights and fighters. "After the
Meehan fight" she said, "Jack sent
money, so after many fights. After the
Willard fight, when at last he made big
money, he bought $4,000 home in
Salt Lake City and installed his peo-
pie there"
"Do you remember when Maxine left
to go to Wells?" asked Preston.
VERY we'll, indeed" answered Mrs.
Dempsey. "She had been restless and
dissatisfied for long time. She used
to say that life in Salt Lake was too
slow. Sometimes she would look at
her hands and complain because they
were little rough from helping me.
I'D rather go back to my old life and
smoke hop than stay in any slow place
like this she said once"
The case will be resumed Monday.

Wood Men ANNOYED

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE support

could have been avoided. They had
hoped that then would come a land
slide or band wagon movement from

there were more negative votes than
affirmative, but they admitted that
the latter made more noise and that

ruling that adjournment had oeen
