Cook County grand jury returned new
indictments against them, and named
IL others in true bills charging con-
spiracy to throw the 1919 world series

Thirteen ball players and alleged
gamblers were named in the original
batch of indictments. The five new
names included in the new true bills
are Carl Fork, st. Louis shirtwaist

their brother-in-law, Zesler, are said
to have financed the deal. One Of the
Levi brothers is alleged to have won
$4,000 in the deal.

They were based on the information
presented to the grand jury after
States Attorney Grove had failed to

summer.
Among the new indictments are two
charging all IS of the defendants with
conspiracy to obtain $3.50 by a conf

fan. There is also a new count, ac-
cording to Assistant States Attorney
George German, which charges those
indicted with conspiracy to cheat the
honest players of the White Sox out
