Both Cicotte and Jackson were clos
eted with the grand jurors for a con-
siderable time today. and later court
officials reported that they told their
stories in substantial detail. AS they
left the room they were taken in Gus
tOdy by detectives of the states at
torneys office. Their detention was
not in the nature of an arrest. and
it was announced that they would be
released later.
Cicotte, who earlier in the day, had
vehemently denied any part in the
alleged plot. as described by Maharg
at Philadelphia, admitted on the stand
officials of the court said, that the
Philadelphian's story was substanti-
ally correct.
The court officials also quoted CT
cote as saying that the players had
believed that Chick Gandil, who, he
said, was interested in the dealings
with the gamblers, had double
crossed" them, and that Maharg's
story was the first intimation they
had had that Attell had held out" on
the 100000 which had been promised
them.
