According to Hapes, Paris first

BY JAMES

NEW YORK, Jan. 7. W.D -
Filchock and Merle Hapes, stars
Of the New York Football Giants
put the finger on Broadway play
boy Alvin ]. Paris Tuesday as the
lavish spender who offered them
$500 each to throw the profess
sional championship game with
the Chicago Bears last Dec. Is.
They were, the first two wit
nesses in the trial of Paris on a
bribery charge in special sessions
court.
Both said their tempter provid-
ed them with wine, woman, and
song, and offered them good jobs
before he made his attempt to fix
the big game.
Hapes admitted on cross-exami-
nation that he told Paris the only
way he knew how to throw a game
was to tumble but he said he
wasn't in a position to decide the
outcome anyway. Filchock admit
ted he had denied he was offered
a bride when he was questioned
by Mayor William O'Dwyer the
night before the game.
The trial opened with the fan
fare of a big murder case. The
jury Of 10 men and two women,
picked yesterday, had been lock
ed up in the Hotel Martinique dur
ing the night-an almost unprec-
edented procedure in such a case.
The courthouse corridor was
crowded. The audience was bright
ened by shapely Broadway lasses.
Hapes was first to take the
stand. Heavy-set, six Feet tall, he
wore a light tan suit and appeared
Ill at ease. His obvious discomfort
increased under cross-examination.
He said that he first met Sidney
]. Paris, father of young Paris. at
an Elks' Club here. and was invit-
ed to Paris two-room combina-
ton office and apartment COR a
cocktail party. He asked if ne
could bring a friend, and tele-
phoned Filchock to join him.
That was two weeks before the
game. In that two weeks, Hapes
testified, he saw his Fast new
friend, Paris, nine times - mostly
for parties. Paris offered sales
jobs for his Novelty company -
described by police as a blind FOR
bookmaking business-to Hapes,
Filchock and two other Giants
players, HOWE Livingston and Vic
Carroll.
