Court Dismisscs
Graft Indictment
And Frees I4ahey
Practice of Holding Charges
Over Heads Scored; In
spector TO Return to Post
and Receive Back Pay

Justice Whitaker, of the Supreme
Court, yesterday dismissed the indict-
ment found against Chief Inspector
William j. Lahey Of the Police Depart
ment in connection with the alleged
payment of a gratuty for the recovery
of stolen automobile.
"The practice of ndicting people
and holding the indictments over their
heads without bringing them to trial
has become altogether too common"
said Justice Whitaker, "and a menace
of the constitutional right of the citi-
zen and in some instances has given
rise to a doubt as to the sincerity and
good faith and honest purpose of the
Indictment.
Such procedure deserves the con-
domnatlon of our court. From the
facts established in the application to
the court in the present case the con-
ciusion in the opinion of this court is
inevitable that, in justice to the de-
fendant, Lahey, and in justice to tho
people themselves and as assurance to
the individual citizen that the court
Will protect him in his constitutional
right, the motion to dismiss the indict-
ment against William J. Lahey should
be and is granted"
The evidence in the case was that $50
had been paid to q detective of the
automobile squad for the recovery of
car. OF this amount $25, it is alleged,
was divided between two police benefit
funds and the detective was permitted
to keep the other $25. The case against
Lahey was transferred on request of
the District Attorneys office from Cen
eral Sessions to the Criminal Branch

Efforts to Kill
Baseball Bribe
Indictments Fail
Players Counsel Declare
Charges Should Be Heard
in Civil Court; Hearing
Postponed Until Tuesday

CHICAGO, June 30. Desperate eff
forts were made to~tay by attorneys
for the defense in ttS Gial of former
White Sox players and wtbors for al
legged conspiracy to throw the worlds
series in 1919, to have the indictments
thrown out. Their efforts failed, how
ever, when Judge Hugo Friend tempo
rarily ruled against their contentious,
but with the right to reverse himself, in
order to allow the defendants to plead
not guilty, and the hearing was post
poned until next Tuesday
The ball players counsel declared
the indictments were based on a breach
OF contract allegation, and the case
should be heard in the civil court in
stead of in the criminal branch.
To this they added that the bribery
charges could not be supported, mas
much as the players could not bribe
themselves; that their contracts. if
they existed, should be contained in
the indictments; that even if there
were contracts they had expired be-
fore the. worlds series began and that
the worlds series was hold under the
auspices of the National Commission
and not the White Sox management.
AT one point Attorney Ben Short of
the defense, declared the states case
already was a failure, because "if it
wasn't, you'd have the real leaders of
this conspiracy here, the men who
made millions, and not these ball play
crs, who were reputed to get big sal
afies, but most of whom got practi-
cally nothing"
On demand of the defense the state
furnished an incomplete list of its wit
nesses, but admitted that the names of
the most important ones were not in
cluded. The list included:
Samuel Pass, Chicago baseball fan.
Ban Johnson, president of the Ameri-
can League; Harry Redman and Joe
Pasch, Of st. Louis; August Hermann,
president of the Cincinnati club; John
Heydler, president of the National
League; John Bruce, secretary of
the old National Commission; Irene

Chicago American League club; Will
liam (Kid) Gleason, White Sox man
ager; Ray Schalk, Eddie Collins, John
Collins, Byrd Lynn and Harry Leibold
White Sox players in the series and
not indicted; Nathan Taber, ste
nographer; Taylor Sphinx, official scorer,
and Charles Minis, who is said to have
lost money betting on the White Sox.
Ben Franklin, of ST. Louis, one of
the defendants, will not be brought
before the court until September. In

Delaware's Upper House,
10 to Z, Approves Selec-

tor To Be State Chancellor
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

DOVER, Del, June 29--After three
days of the stormiest debate in its his
tory the Delaware Senate to-day con-
iirmed the nomination of United States
Senator Josiah 0. Wolcott as Chancel-
lor of Delaware. The confirmation of
this nomination by Governor Denney, a
Republican, of a Dem ocratic Senator
leaves the way open to the appointment
by the Governor of a Republican to the
United States Senate. 1t was generally
rumored in political circles here that
General Coleman du Pont, national
committeeman from Delaware, who is
now recuperating at Colorado Springs,
would be appointed Politicians point
ed with interest to the fact that the
Generals cousin, Alfred T. duy Pont,
who is his political rival fought Sena-
tor Wolcott's nomination.
1t is believed General du Pont will
accept the nomination if it is offered
him, for he is said to have written
friends that, while he was not seeking
it, he would not refuse. If for any rea-
son, however, General du Pont should
decline, former Governor John G.
Townsend, of Selbyville, is considered
the next choice.
The vote confirming Senator VOL
colts appointment to-day was ten to
seven, and followed repeated charges
on the floor of the Senate that the Gov
ernor was trading the Chancellorship
for Senatorship.
