BASEBALL TRIAL
WILL HINGE TODAY
ON CONFESSIONS
State to Fight for Admission
of Statements Made by
Players Last Fall.

CHICAGO, July 2l.-The cross-ex-
animation OF Bill" Burns, former
White SoX pitcher will be completed
to-day, and according to Assistant
states Attorney Prindeviile, the next
step will be a tight % secure the ad-
mission as evidence of the confess
sions made last fall by Jackson
Cicottc and Williams.
He says that the acceptance Of
these confessions py the court will
go far toward ending the case for the
State when taken in connection with
the testimony OF Burns.
In these confessions is the story of
how three of the Sox players found
$4,000 in, mattress in a Chicago
hotel If this is admitted in evidence
1t will brng the total of money al
legged TO have been paid to the ball
players up to $4,000; 100000 was
promised
An interesting point which has
been brought out was the hunt for
Burns in order to get him to testify
1t was revealed that Burns, looked
on as the only man whose testimony
could convict the conspirators, had
been tracked into Mexico by Ban
Johnson, President of the American
League, and John f. Tyrrell, Assist
ant states Attorney, and persuaded
to come back to the United States and
tell IA jury what he knew.
George Z. German, Assistant States
Attorney, brought out in his question
ing how the State, UP against a blind
wall, had learned that Burns knew
everything. He told how Tyrrell met
Burns at a little town on the Mexican
border in the dead of night and talked
over the question of the former pitch
er's return.
the testimony thus far given the
state has implicated all the PLAYERS
except Joe Jackson. The only gam
bier named with Eddie Cicotte, Claude
Williams, Buck" Weaver, "Swede"
Risbere, Chick" Gandil and "Happy"
Felsch so far is David Zelser of Des
Moines, who was referred to by Burns
as Bennett" the lieutenant of Arnold
Rothstein of New York, who was
named as the man who was to finance
the conspiracy. Messrs. Prindeville
and German, Assistant states Attor-
neys, said this morning that evidence
Carl Fork of st. Louis and Ben and
Louis Levi of Des Moines, would be
introduced later this week
When the court closed last night
Burns had been on the stand twelve
hours When he finished he appeared
exhausted But throughout the final
grillng his answers came clearly. He

Harold Irwin said his father, with
whom he went to the pier here last
Friday. gave his watch to him.
Father knew he could live only a
day or two" he said, 80 before he
left he divided everything he owned
between my mother and me, taxing
only $35 with him on the boat"
He always suffered most at night.
1t is believed he jumped overheard
that night because OF pain. The the
ory that he may have met with foul
play because OF a large sum OF money
he was supposed to carry is not
borne out by the statement OF his
son that he had only S35. The New
York Mrs Irwin, when told about the
Boston widow, said:
Il cannot believe it. Since we were
married, twenty y-seven years ago in
Philadelphia, Arthur has been devoted
to me. He seldom was away from
home more than day or two at a
time. and then only when he was
scouting for ball players"
