DENIES DAVIS GOT
LOTTERY TICKETS
Defense Witness Says He
Siqned Senator's Name for
Moose Package.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September pa wit
ness at the Davis lottery trial testified
today that United States Senator
James j. Davis never received pack
age of alleged lottery tickets addressed
to him in 1880 at Pittsburgh.
Davis is charged with r2t1i-ic-t-o-' =
alleged lotteries which, the Cover Ii:
asserts. were conducted in connectioH
with the 1880 and 1891 charity balls Of
the Loyal Order of Moose, OF which
Davis is director general.
While the prosecution was presenting
It's case last week. an express company
agent told of packages Of tickets being
sent all over the country and receipt
was produced showing that one OF these
packages was addressed to Davis at
Pittsburgh.
Fred W Jones, the first defense wit
ness testified today he received the
package in Pittsburgh and. as Davis
secretary, signed the receipt for it.
Contained Moose Tickets.
What did it contain?" he was asked.
Tickets for the charity ball"
Where was Senator Davis at that
time?"
Not in Pittsburgh"
Was it turned over to Senator
Davis?"
1T was not"
The defense considered this very i'm
portant testimony. bolstering as 1t did
the defense assertion that in 1890 Sem
ator Davis practically withdrew from
all active participation in Moose activ-
tiles and so would not necessarily have
had to know anything about the alleged
lotteries.
Judge Warns Jury.
Judge Coleman resumed the trial
with an admonition to the jury that
it was not to be influenced by news
paper accounts of his remarks yesterday.
The courts remarks on the evidence
were made out of the jurys hearing,
on the defense motion for directed
verdict.
He mad said: II thing the evidence
thus far adduced would justify a jury in
finding that Davis knew of the plan to
operate lottery en- a nationwide scale
and knew that almost inevitably tickets
would be transported across State lines
This was picked out as significant
quotation by most reporters. Defense
attorneys say, it meant only that the
Government had established prima
facie case. The judge told the jury
his remarks had nothing to do with
the merits of the evidence.
The court told the jury in part:
Il want to prevent a possible in
Justice. A motion was presented before
me yesterday and the newspaper ac-
counts, due to the necessity for brevity,
did not give all of the proceedings.
1T would be perfectly natural that
your eye might strike a headline on a
newsstand and from that you might
have gotten an erroneous idea of my
remarks. Try to eliminate from your
mind anything that might have got
ten in in that manner.
MY ruling yesterday in no way
touched the merits of this contro-
versy. The newspapers were not at
fault 1t is not possible to get every
thing into the newspaper accounts"
