SOX CONFESSIONS
Gamblers Said to Have Paid
$4,000 for Statements
Missing From Files
RESUME TRIAL MONDAY

Chicago, July 23.-When the trial of
former White Sox players and alleged
gamblers, charged with entering into a
conspiracy to thr0w the 1910 World s
Series to Cincinnati, is resumed on Mon
day one Of the first questions to be de-
cided by the Court will be whether the
Grand Jury statements signed by Eddie
Cicotte, Claude Williams and Joe Jack
son can be admitted as evidence despite
the disappearance of the immunity
waivers.
The Court already has ruled that the
statements, if admitted. can apply only
to those players making the statements.
With yesterdays evidence involving Joe
jackson, former outticlder; Louis Levi,
alleged Des Moines gambler. and Carl
Fork, alleged gambler from st. Louis.

the stand early in the week.
The announcement that the "Confcs-
sions" of the Black Sox admitting they
had received from $4,000 to S1O.OOO to
throw the big series were missing came
as a dramatic sensation near the end of
Yesterdays session when the State
placed Hartley Replogle, formerly As
sistant States Attorney, who directed
the first Grand Jury investigation of
the baseball scandal. on the stand.
The State revealed that 1t would have

fessions and on the testimony of men

The defense plans to contend that the
confessions were made Involuntary.

tify and Judge Macdonald and Rcplogle
can testify.
I'VE are not accusing any one of
stealing these papers, but ! presume it
would be advisable to look for them in
the quarters where the loss would do
the most good"
Judge Hugo Friend sent the Jury
from the courtroom and will hear all of
tie evidence in the matter before deCid-
ing if it is admissible. II he decides
it is. it will have to be repeated before
the jury. Indications are that Will

the stand Mt this private hearing to
testify that their confessions were not
made voluntarily.
Previous to beginning the fight over
the confessions, the state introduced

ton for Idol
POLICE LINE SWEPT ASIDE

Paris, July 23.-Georges Carpenter,
apparently more than ever the idol Of
the French sporting public because Of
his gallant IL unsuccessful attempt to
capture the worlds heavyweight cham
pionship, was given n hero's reception
upon his arrival in Paris at noon today
from the United States.
The st. Lazare Railway station, at
which the French boxers train pulled
in, was crowded with his admirers, and
rs Carpenter appeared, palpably sur
priscd by the enthusiasm of his rccep-
tion and affected almost to tears. he
was captured by the surging crowd and
borne against his will through the side
door Of the station and along the Rue
Londrcs.
Meanwhile the crowd which had
waited outside the station. not knowing
their favorite had made his exit through
another than the main door. pushed
and jammed about the building for
clogging the thoroughfare in the vicinity
and dispensing only when the news
spread that Carpenter had come and
gone.
That part of the crowd which had
gained possession of Carpenter and
with shouts Of Garry him in triumph, "
had borne him to the street, swept
aside the police line and rushed along
the thoroughfares. Several doors and
windows in the neighborhood were
crushed in by the pressure Of the
throng. which chokcd the streets from
building to building.
Police endorsements finally fought
