John Montague Takes
 Stand m O1vn Behalf
Denies He Was Ever in Tavern Where Robbery Was COnlmtted-tie Admits He Never Wrote His
 Mother After He Left His Home
By HARRY FERGUSON United Press Staff Correspondent

Elizabethtown, N. r., Oct. 26- (UP)-Flushed, angry and shouting, John Montague denied today that he ever committed robbery and then told for the first time how and why he became the mystery man of golf.
 It was Q story of how he fled southwest by automobile and train in the late summer of 1880 because his golf clubs and suitcase had been found in @ car in which four men were fleeing from 8 roadhouse rob- bery. These men were acquaint- ances of Montague, but he stared straight ahead in the courtroom where he was on trial today and denied he had participated in the crime.
 Montague was on the witness stand most of the morning and when he finished the defense rested. The case probably will go to the jury late today.
 Denies Being At Tavern
 "Were you in Kin Hana's tavern on the night of August 1 and the morning of August 5, 193O?" De- fense Counsel James Noonan asked.
 No" Montague said.
 "Where were you?"
 "In bed"
 At your home?"
 "Yes, in Syracuse"
 Never Wrote His Mother
 Then District Attorney Thomas Mcdonald tore into Montague on cross examination. The witness strengthened up in his chair and his face became flushed when he was asked whether he ever had written

Chief Thunderbird, the Chip

tor in a spectacular match at
Turner's Arena last night when
he tossed Cliff "Swede" Olsen
after 26 minutes of transforming

came when Swift Eagle, an old
swiftie with a tom-tom, brought
his Indian drum into play (cf

the Swede into submission.
Swift Eagle staged a war dance

to what the result would be from

ANGLERS BEST BET:

Rockfisil and trout are acting
prima donnaish these crisp au'
tumn days. .r
They are only biting for couple
of hours after daybreak and, when
the notion takes 'em, around tWl,
light.
But in those few hours the
anglers can haul away loads OF
them, at least they could early
this week, outside Of Solomons
Island in the Bay.
Monday morning between 2 and
8, Harry Langley and party yanked
in 101 rockfish and trout averag
ing between three and six pounds
The catch weighed over 500 pounds
Is that a lot of fish, and would
you rather have fillet mignon, ny

But here's the tear-jerking side
of the picture. Sid Atlas in
dulged in an inspection trip at
Solomons Monday. Went out after
8 a. m. and reeled in only two
rockfish, one two pounds and the
other four.
PASSED LOADED BOATS
While he was going out to the
fishing ground he passed many
a boat proudly displaying catches
CT from IS to 100 finsters. Sid
tried again at twilight Monday
but the rockfish and the trout
Just wouldn't have anything to
do with him.

it, were thousands on thousands
