Prosecutor German will launch his
fight tomorrow to admit the confess
sions Of Eddie Cicotte. Joe Jackson and
Claude Williams, made before the Cook
county Grand Jury last fall before the
indictments were returned.
Attorney Nash. who opened the cross-
examination when Burns resumed the
stand at the beginning of the morning
session. occupied himself principally
with questions relative to the alleged
meeting OF Burns with Chicago players
in the Sinton Hotel prior to the first
game OF the series in Cincinnati. Burns
admitted that he had not arrived in
Cincinnati until 10 A. NJ. the day Of the
first game and that he had not reached
the hotel until II o'clock.
Isn't 1t O fact that these players were
out in the park practising at the time
Of your arrival at the hotel?" inquired
Nash. isn't it fact that most of them
went over TO the race track in Louisville
after the practice and didn't return to
the hotel until that night?''
The examiner pinned Burns down to
I'm admission that he had not seen the
players after the first game. as he stated
in yesterdays testimony.
Didn't you say that you saw them
after the first gamer" he demanded. II
amt saying / did," replied Burns.
Answer yes or no." "I'll answer as !
please"
Nash then had portions of the records
read showing that Burns had been
asked by Prosecutor George E. German
regarding a meeting after the first game
and that he had described such meet
ing in detail. At this point Nash an
nounced his intention Of impeaching the
witness as perjurer.
Several sensations developed as Attor-
ney Ahearn took over the examination
from Mr.. Nash. The attorney asked hin,
Is BILLY" Maharg. the Philadelhia gam
bier, who has been closely connected
with Burns in all his dealings with the
States Attorneys office. was really
Peaches Graham, former Cub catcher.
Burns looked startled, but denied the
allegation.
Questions were interjected at odd
points Of the inquisition to bring out the
details of the old feud between johnson
and Comiskey. Attorney Aheern startled
the court at one stage of the examina-
ton by asking the witness point blank
IL a part of his contract with the State
Attorneys Office Tor his testimony in the
case had not included an agreement
whereby Maharg was to sue Comiskey
for the $4,000 posted for the conviction
of the men involved in the scandal.
Burns smiled and answered: NO

TRUCK KILLS CHILD;
MOB MAULS DRIVER
Din Before Home Awakens Po-
lice Sergeant, Who Finds
Victim His Own Baby.

Police Sergeant Daniel Dooley of the
Highbridge station, off duty, was at
his home, 2274 Hughes avenue. The
Bronx. yesterday afternoon. He had
lain down after dinner and was taking
nap when he was awakened by
hoarse shouting in the street. Jumping
up, he looked down and saw q big
motor truck halted near the curb and
an excited crowd gathered about the
forward end. The truck driver. gesticu-
lating wildly, was being menaced by the
crowd, and as the police sergeant
watched. two men pushing on the hood
rolled the big truck back a few feet.
Then Dooley caught sight OF the form
of a child, lifted out of the street
and placed on the sidewalk. There was
just a glimpse of the yellow hair OF
the boy but 1t sent sudden catch to
Dooley's throat.
He ran down the stairs. and as he
reached the street. the crowd parted.
TITS your kid. sergeant" neighbor
exclaimed.
The sergeant broke into the centre Of
the crowd about the boys crushed body.
Danny! Danny" he said. But as he
looked at the child-s years old week
ago-he saw there was no hope.
Dooley forgot that he was police
officer and that the crowd gathered
about the driver was threatening the
mans life for the accident for which
they held him responsible. He cared for
his own first. He lifted the child's body
and bore 1t into the house and up to
the apartment In his arms, and re-
manned to comfort the mother.
In the street the din rose. Peter
Valenti. 20 years old. the driver. son of
Spicioso Valenti. a contractor OF 672
Leland avenue. The Bronx. was dragged
from the truck and kicked and beaten
But he managed to break away, and
dashed along the street. and the crowd
went in pursuit with shouts of ven
geance. He had covered half n block
when he found the pursuers upon him,
and lodged into a shoemakers estab-
lishment at 2303 Hughes avenue and
flung the door shut Patrolman Patrick
Phalen of The Bronx Park station ar
rested him there, and police reserves
under Capt. John McGrath dispersed the
crowd. Valenti was taken to Fordham
Hospital under 4 technical charge OF
homicide.
Some of the witnesses told the police
that the Dooley boy. playing with other
youths, had run across the street almost
In the path of the truck and Valenti had
no time to stop.
