/ Cicotte's confession came after he
and Alfred S. Austrian, counsel for
the White Sox management, had
conferred with Judge Charles A. Nc
Donald in the latter's chambers. :.
Toward the end Assistant States
Attorney Hartley Replogle joined the
session. A few moments later he and
Cicotte-the latter noticeably at
tempting to hold back tears-pro-
ceeded to the grand jury room.

to his family, and cursed the day .'he

ed. "Just tell the jury what was

Then came the story OF overtures
from the go-between; of Cicotte's
insistence on receiving the, money in
advance; the go-between's insistence
that the money would be paid when
the goods were delivered; Cicotte's
refusal to have, anything further to
do with the fixing; his final nam
ing a price-$10,000.
Again a story of wrangles over ad-
vance payment Cicotte's refusal to
have any money handed to him di-
rectly.
Each Collected for Himself.
"The night before the first game =
he said between sobs, IT found the
money-s10o00-under my pillow"
Amplifying his testimony, Cicotte
told how each player was dealt with
individually, how Gandil McMullin
and Risberg were believed by the
PLAYERS to be agents Of the gamblers
and how he himself was fearful lest
the promised money would not be
paid, and refused to pitch II ball un-
til he had received his bribe.
He. explained, too, that it wasn't
hard for a pitcher to let the ball be
batted out of the lot at q critical
moment.
The sensation created by the con-
fession Of Cicotte had hardly abated
when Attorney Austrian appeared
