Bradbury clear picture of his
hand. She could see that Mr.. Evans
had held five Hearts originally, as
indicated by his original lead Of the
8 and confirmed by his discard of
the 8.
He was marked early in the play
with the Ace of Spades, and at this
time it must be alone, or he would
have discarded another Spade
rather than give up a good Heart.
Therefore he had held three Spades
originally.
He had had Singleton Diamond;
consequently he must have held four
Clubs in the beginning, and still
had two, which must be the Jack
and 6.
fs"R -.
HAVING figured out Evans cards,
II Mrs. Bradbury led the Of
Spades, to throw him in the lead.
She was willing to concede him the
Ace of Spades and his three good
Hearts, confident that he must then
lead Clubs up to her tenace, giving
her two more tricks and game.
On Mrs. Bradbury's lead of the 2
of Spades, Evans played the Ace;
Dummy the 10; and Work the 8.

Club would be good. On the other
hand, if Work had no more Clubs,
then Evans held the Jack protected
by another Club, in which case Mrs.
Bradbury's lead Of the Queen would
establish the Jack in the hand she
most feared. \
On account of Evans avoidance
of a Club discard, Mrs. Bradbury
was inclined to think he held the
protected Jack. However, she was
not positive.
Therefore she held back her Clubs
and led her good Jack of Diamonds
in the hope Of forcing telling dis
card from Evans.
Evans was forced to discard the
of Hearts, in order to keep his
Jack of Clubs protected; Dummy
discarded the 5 of Spades; Work fol-
lowed suit with the Z of Diamonds.

SLEUTH CHIEF
DESCRIBES OIL
TRIAL SPYING
Detectives Told Not to Ap-
proach Jurors, They
StaIked, Says Ruddy.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-An ex-
pert detective leader today gave
Justice F. L. Siddohs detailed
story of how sleuths under his di-
rection spied on Fall-Sinclair OH
trial jurors.
Charles G. Ruddy, British veteran.
OF the Boer War, called as the first
witness in the Burns Sinclair con-
tempt trial., told of being ordered to
Washington and opening an hour
by-hour espionage for Henry Mason
Day, and to Harry E. Sinclair.
Ruddy gave evidence regarded as
especially damaging to Sheldon
Clark, Sinclair official, one of the
six contempt defendants. Sinclair,
Day and w. S. Burns, along with
g. L. Veitsch, Baltimore Burns men,
are co-defendants.
Ruddy said he gave his jury re-.
ports to Clark as we'll as Day. He
said he was introduced to Clark by
Day and referred to both Day and
Clark as "the principals" in(a bust
ness report to his New York office.
Reported to Day
Sinclair and Day have informed
the court Clark was not involved in
the jury shadowing which they adj
NIT starting.
Ruddy said he received his orders
to come to Washington by long
distance telephone from w. Sher-
man Burns, son of w. j. Burns and
active head Of the agency.
II reported to Mr.. Day and iden-
titled myself as soon as came to
Washington" Ruddy said.
Day gave him a list of Fall
Sinclair oil trial jurors, Ruddy said,
and ordered him to shadow them.
What did Day say?" asked
United States Attorney Peyton
Gordon.
HE asked me how many men
would have here. I said eight by
tomorrow. He then instructed me to
watch the jurors. Then he )specifi-
cally said he did not want any
detective to approach any juror.
Not to Approach Jurors
II checked in at the Wardman
Park hotel with my assistant, G. H
Robbins. Then I proceeded to
Baltimore to confer with c. L.
Veitsch, Baltimore Burns agency
chief.
Ruddy said Veitsch provided two
more detectives. From Baltimore
he talked with w. Sherman Burns
in New York by telephone.
HE told me to be very, very care
full to instruct the men not to ap-
proach any juror" Ruddy said.
Ruddy told of the arrangements
made in Baltimore for Veitsch to
send cash in three $500 lots to
Washington to pay the agents ex-
penses, and of the concentration of
fifteen agents from Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York. The
agents first were quartered in a
cheap hotel, but later moved to the
Wardman Park.
The agents reports written by
hand, were typed and given to Day
at the Wardman Park and at Days
residence.

Ruddy said Clark on one occasion
called alone to get a days reports
on jurors. Day had introduced
Clark to Ruddy, the detective said.
Attorney Gordon then brought
out that each agent had cryptic
designation used in signing reports,
and at his request Ruddy gave the
number of each of the fifteen as
Gordon gave the name. "X-20, LBS,
