Brydon had sold them privileges to
operate games Of chance at the bazaar.
This information caused the board to
put Brydon of until Monday.
Dietz and Hawthorne were quoted as
having said the Brydon told them It
would all right to operate because he
had an understanding with the prescott
ing attorney. Mr.. Evans Indignantly de-
MED his. Brydon also denied making
such a statement. The mayo advised
Brydon to return the money Of the two
concession men. BrydOn at first refused
but today he gave Dietz back $3.50 and
Hawthorne $50, receiving from Haw-
thorne a signed statement, as follows:
This is to certify that r. NJ. Brydon
did not sell me~any gambling privileges
for any date, or purpose or time"
Contracts which the concession men
n BrydOn exhibited provided for sale
to Dietz of auto fish pond" and "kewpie
DOLL" concessions and gas balloon priv
itege' sand ball game" to Hawthorne.
Brydon insisted there was nothing Of a
gaming nature about these concessions
The concession men said their method
of operation necessitated the customer
taking a chance.
Brydon said the bazaar will be given
somewhere, sometime, because $4,000 has
been collected In concession fees, adver-
Using and advance ticket sales.
The prosecutors reference to broad
cast advertising grew out Of the use Of
n full page in billboard" a theatrical
trade journal. by the bazaar promoters.
1t was in response to this advertisement
that Dietz inc Hawthorne said they con-
tracted for their concessions.
While BrydOn and the men who said
they represented the ex-soldiers' league
were trying to get the permit from the
board of works Judge Arthur r. Robin
son Of Superior Court Room 4, an over
seas veteran and member Of the Ameri-
can Legion came up. He listened for q
moment and then broke into the argu-
ment:
rs this that bazaar business? This
board doesn't want to grant that per

gets 80 per cent and the other ten goes
to the boys. They've got a contract to
that effect"
Claud W. Miller, manager Of the in
terest Of the league In the bazaar, who has
been working with Brydon In the pro-
motion, turned upon Judge Robinson and
shouted:
what, do you mean 1 signed a CON
tract onder misapprehension?"
Judge Robinson said he could produce
a copy of the contract in a few min
utes. Miller defed him to do 1t. The
judge said he would get it and left.
NEW CONTRACT FOR
AN EVEN DIVISION.
Brydon insisted that the contract Civ
ing him 80 per cent had been aban-
doned and exhibited a new one by
which the league got 80 per cent of the
gross receipts and he whatever he could
make after paying expenses out of The
remainder. He said he had advanced
money several times to the league out of
advance ticket sales. and had taken
money from a number Of politicians and
business men for signs to be hung in
the hall during the bazaar.
Mayor Shank said he was for any
thing which benefited soldiers exclusively,
but no promoter was going to be per-
mitted to make a lot of money out of a
soldier affair. He asked Brydon to take
some other dates than those he asked for,
because they conhicted with the date of
the Yankee Circus to be given at the
Coliseum by the Marion County Council
of the American Legion. Brydon and his
