GIVES NEW VERSION
OF RICHARD 'BRIBE'
Saloon Keeper Tells Pecora
Curran Left Before
Promoter Came.

a different version of the story of
William Kelleher. agent of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
drcn, OF a pian to squeeze" $5o. 900
from Tex Rickard. was told yesterday
by Charles e. Griffin. proprietor of the
saloon at Forty-fifth street and Eighth
avenue, where the alleged blackmail
scheme Is supposed to have been tried.
Ferdinand Pecora. Chief Assistant Dis
trict Attorney after an interview with
Griffin. said the latter told him that
Richard J. curran, another agent. had not
met the boxing promoter in the rear
room Of his saloon and that Griffin
denied much of the conversation Kelleher
had previously attributed to him.
This mans story" said Mr. Pecora,
lis radically different Wom what Kelle-
her says took place in the saloon on
February 81. and serves to completely
exonerate the only agent of the society
referred to by Keleher." This was Cur
ran, who, according to the saloon
keepers story. left the place before
Richards arrival.
The full story of the alleged occur

which kelleher said he had with Griffin.
and which the latter denied, Mr.. Pecora
did not say. He did say. however, he
believed Kelleher and David j. Supple,
both of whom have been discharged
from the society. got Curran to come
to the saloon to talk about the Rickard
case.
Neither Kelleher nor Supple. as agents
of the society. had any connection with
the Rickard case, Mr.. Pecora said, while
Curran had aided in finding the girls

on whose behalf complaints were
brought against Richard. Mr.. Pecora
said he believed 1t true that Curran had
left the bar as soon as he learned that
he had been urged to go there 10 discuss
reaching the girls for the purpose OF
changing their testimony.
The prosecutor said that a story told
10 him last Friday by Supple also diff
fered from that told him by Kelleher In
the Bar Associa tons clubhouse on
March %, the third day Of the trial. He
pointed out that Kelleher had shown
himself antagonistic to him recently.
Last Friday. when Mr.. Pecora sent for
him. he replied that he had told his
story once and would not do so again.
Mr.. Pecora said ne had interviewed
another witness yesterday. whose name
he would not divulge He also wrote a
letter to Max d. Steuer, counsel for
Rickard. asking him to appear with
Rickard at his Office at the earliest pos
sibe moment. Mr. Steuer attempted
several times during the trial to intro
duce into the testimony this alleged at
tempt TO blackmail his client.
Mr. Pecora said his investigation had
not proceeded far enough to enable him
to say whether he would present the
matter to Grand Jury. He did say,
however. that If he does place il in the
hands of that body, indictments alleging
perjury or a criminal conspiracy to OBJ
struct justice might result.
Both District Attorney Banton and
Mr.. Pecora are anxious to locate Walter
Fields, lessee OF the apartment at 20
West Forty-seventh street, where the
crime of which Rickard was acquitted
was alleged to have taken place.

COLER SEES KNIGHT
BILL INVADING LIBERTY
Calls 1t Most Restrictive
Measure Since Volsteod's.

Opponents of the Knight mental de-
ficiency bill, which would revise present
laws governing the commitment and
care Of mental detectives and broaden
the powers Of the lower courts In deal
ing with the criminal insane. will hold
a meeting at the Children's Hospital on
Randalrs Island tomorrow morning to
whip their opposition into shape for
presentation at hearing on Friday at
Albany on the bill before Gov. Miller.
Bird s. Coler. Commissioner of Char
tiles. declared yesterday that he regards
the measure as more restrictive of per-
sonal liberty than any legislation that
has been proposed since the enactment
of the vostead bill. One of the worst
features of the bill. according to its op-
ponents. is that It makes 1t possible for
"any crank uplfter" to lay information
before magistrate and cause the ar
rest of anybody whom he alleges to De
subnormal and whom he wants incar-
cerated for life.

in question. On Saturday Lord Freddie
himself explained to a reporter that he

The two concerns insisted that it was

weekend that there must have been

two. and would not fight judgment in
