They did II by teaching criminals

The certainty OF punishment is
demonstrated by an S000-mile chase

demonstrated by the death sentences

games in the 1919 worlds series and
the statements they signed waving
immunity are missing. It became
Known yesterday when the State be-
gan to fight to introduce the confess
sions as evidence in the baseball
trial
The announcement came as a
dramatic sensation near the end Of
today's session of Court when the
state placed Hartley Replogle, for
mer assistant States attorney, who
directed the first grand jury investi-
cation Of the baseball scandal, on
the stand and revealed that It would
have to depend on carbon copies Of
the confessions and on the testimony
of men who heard them and who
are said to have seen the immunity
waivers signed. The defense plans
to contend that the confessions were
made involuntarily.
Judge Hugo Friend sent the jury
from the courtroom and viii hear
all OF the evidence in the matter
before deciding If it is admissible.
II he decides II is. Il will have to be
repeated before the jury. Indica-
tions are that Williams, Cicotte and
Jackson will take the stand during
this private hearing TO testify that
their confessions were not made vol
unfairly. Replogle. Judge Charles
A. Macdonald and grand jurors will
be the States witnesses
Previous TO beginning the fight
over the confessions. the State in
troduced testimony naming Earl
Zork. OF st. Louis. now on trial as
an instlgator OF the alleged sell out,
and Ben and Louis Levi, Of Koko-
mo. Ind. as bet placers for Abe At
tell during the series
Forks attorneys promptly an
nounced they would prove an alibi
for zork. saying he left for St Louis
at $50 p. m. that day. whereas Red
mon said the conversation lasted
from about 8 to IL p. m.
John O. Seys. Chicago National
League Club secretary, testified to
holding stakes on bets made by At
tell and the two Lewis and that At
tell warned MIN not to bet on Gin
cinnati in the third game. as Chi
cago would win 1t. Sey's relations
with the defendants apparently was
accidental. he happening 20 be pres
ent when bets were made and being
asked to hold stakes.
Replogle testified that the confess
sions were made voluntarily. that
he saw the immunity waivers signed
and that no one. to his knowledge
promised immunity 10 any of tho
men. He said Judge Macdonald said
something to Williams after ths
confession about a trial Court prob.

fact that he had voluntarily con-
fessed.
