stated to the police by Manager Con-
don of the Vail Hotel.
Beer arrived at the Vail hotel
Thursday night and put in long dis
tance call for Senators Burrows and
Reed at Washington. After some de-
lay Senator Reed was located in
Washington and had a chat with Beer
that amounted to nearly $50. Senator
Burrows was also found in Washing
ton after much effort had been spent
by the telephone company and he
probably came to the conclusion of
Condon's new theory and let Beer
down with smaller telephone toll.
but which is said to have amounted
TO nearly $12. Not satisfied with
senatorial talks, Beer wanted to have
a chat with William j. Burns of tho
U. S. Secret Service at Washington.
but he was at Chicago and could not
be located.
Beer retired leaving a trail of long
distance telephone bills, but when he
had a short distance talk with Condor
the following morning. it resulted in
telling the court that he blamed it on
the liquor. the judge affixing $25
