BASEBALL TRIAL
GIVEN FREEDOM
Louis and Ben Levi Are
Legally Freed Of Any Con-,
neCtiOn With the Alleged
Game Throwing Plot.

Chicago, July 27.--The defense
in the baseball trial today in three
hours tore down the network OF
evidence woven by the state in
seven days sufficiently to bring i'm
mediate freedom to two defend
ants, obtained a tentative promise
from the presiding Judge for free
dom for three others and presented
an alibi supported by two witness
es and numerous written RECORDS
for sixth Of the eleven men on
trial.
AS a result of the defense's first
attack, Louis and Ben Levi of ko.
komo, Ind, were legally freed of
any connection with the deal
through which It is alleged the
Chicago White Sox players agreed
TO throw the 1919 world series for
100000. Buck Weaver and
Happy Felsch once idols Of the
American league, and Carl Fork OF
st. Louis were promised acquittal
by Judge Friend unless further ev-
idence is presented against them,
and David Zelcer of Des Moines,
Iowa, presented an alibi through
his own testimony, which was cor
roborated by witnesses and docu-
ments introduced.
Seek Freedom For Others.
Tomorrow the defense will begin
trying to free Joe Jackson, Eddie
Cicotte, Claude Williams, Chick
Gandil and Swede Risberk. First
on the scredule, however, will be
a number of witnesses from St
Louis to testify for York, the de-
fense wishing to make his case as
strong as possible.
Following him Weaver Felscf
and Risberg will testify. with Chick
Gandil probably coming next. This
defense does not expect to finish
before the middle Of next week.
The state rested its case today
after Billy Maharg Of philadelphia
gave testimony corroborating thai
previously given by Bill Burns, the
admitted accomplice.
Motions For Dismissal.
The defense then presented mo-
tions for dismissal of the charges
against the Lewis, York, Felsch
Weaver, Zelcer and Joe Jackson
The state promptly dropped the
cases against the Lewis, but refused
to take similar action for the 9th
ers, holding that they might be

Laborer Admits
Staying Wealthy
New York Widow
Mystery of Death Cleared by
Confession--Cained Access
To Home on Pretext of
Being Buyer.

West-Hampstead, N. Y. June rs.
Lawrence Kubal, So, a farm labor
er, confessed last night, police said.
to having murdered Mrs. Minnie S,
Bartlett, wealthy widow, in her home
here last Wednesday.
Kubal, in his alleged confession,
said that he had killed Mrs. Bartlett
with chisel. He said he had called
at the house on the morning of the
crime and had represented himself
as possible purchaser of the proper
ty. She demanded $45,O00O but he
said he told her he had only $4,000
and would return later in the day
with his wife and brother.
Kubal returned to the Bartlett
home early in the afternoon, accord
ing to the confession and on being
admitted by Mrs. Bartlett told her
that he must have some money,
about $500, and that he would not
harm her if she gave it to him.
Kubal said that he noticed a foun-
tain pen which Mrs. Bartlett kept
opening nervously in her hands. At
the sight of it. he said, the thought
came to kill her. Drawing a chisel
from his pocket he struck her on
the head with it, police reported
him as saying and seized her by the
throat. As she reeled under the
blow she clawed at his face and
then Kubal struck her again, when
