BURNS TELLS ALL
DETAILS OF HOW
SERIES WAS FIXED
Sticks to His Original
Story Of Throwing Of
Games
GOES LIMP ON STANDS
Counsel For Players
Ply Him With
Inuendoes
tBy Associated Press)

Chicago, July 20.-Bill Burns, the
states chief witness in the baseball
trial, today finished his story of how
he and others conspired with eight
Chicago White Sox players for them
to throw the 1919 world series to
Cincinnati.
At the end of his twelfth hour on
the stand the witness appeared ex-
hausted. His body was limp in the
witness chair, his eyes were half
closed but his head was held back and
his answers still came clearly and
defantly, despite cateract of inuen-
dos, disparaging remarks about his
mentality and character and other
bitter verbal shots heaped on him by
his questioners.
Double Crossed the Fixers
After finishing his story of Gin
cinnati conferences between himself
Abe Attell, and man named Ben
EFT, whom. he idetifed yesterday as
David Celser, Of Des Moines, Iowa,
a defendant, Burns told of further
MEETINGS in Chicago of how the play
ers double crossed the alleged fixers
by winning the third game when they
were not paid after the first two and
of how he, agreed with Ban johnson,
president of the American League
and John Tyrell, assistant state at
torney, to come to Chicago and tes-
tify for the state.
Thomas Nash, representing Buck
Weaver, questioned Burns closely
about the hours of alleged meetings
with the indicted players, the dis
tances between hotels in Cincinnati,
room numbers and such details and
at times Burns was somewhat con-
fused, once refusing to answer fur
ther questions until told to do so by
Judge Friend.
Lied Only In Effect
Asked about his statement that he
told the ball players in a hotel room
in Cincinnati that he chad 100000
for the series to be thrown, he was
asked if he had not lied then.
"No", said Burns.
"But you didn't have 100000 on
you?"
81 meant l could get"-stated
Burns.
answer yes or no., he was told.
'No, | didn't have it."
1t was on such points as this that
Burns got in the most trouble dur
ing the questioning, but when cues
toned closely about the alleged meet
ings with the players the witness
was not shaken in his first story.

Under the law in operation then
the state treasury was requested to
obtain at least two per cent. on state
